OFFICIAL.
Adopted at she Democratic count,
CONVENTION. hegi at Eureka,
September re, 1875.

~hs SSsO.
We, the Democracy of Eureka, assomb bled
in convention, declare us follows:
First--We cordially accept the results Of
the lato civil war, believing them to be on
the whole b ,ncdcial to the cause Of naiien1l
progress End individual liberty. We cheer
fully recognize the Tbirteenth, Fourteenth
and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitu-
tion a part Of the fundamental law. We
know that these sentiments arc entertained
by us in common with all the re ,do OF all
sections of our country; and we charge uPOn
the Republican party, that in endoayoring to
force an issue of loyalty to the Union into the
present canvass, It's itself sectional and par
tisan, seeking TO infnme bad passions be-
tween the different sections of the land, and
between the white and colcred races, solely
with view to perpctuate its own corrupt
control Of power.
Second-We know that during the past
eight years hundreds of millions Of dollars
have been lost TO the taxpayers of the ceun-
try through the corrurtiOns of numberless
rings Of Federal officials. We know that in
many instances the stain o. these corrup-
lions las been traced to tho Executive cham
ber. We know that tho benetclurles Of
Grant hope to be the be1eiciaries of Hayes.
We believe that under the administration of
Hayes the present corruptions would still
prevail; and we believe that practical re-
form is oaiy to be attained by elevatng to
the presidential chair SAMUEL j. TlLDEN,
Of New York, himself a practical reformer.
Third-We regard co0lieism rs IA form o.
slavery more odious than the chattel slavery
of past years. We believe that the col0nl-
zaton Of Chinese among us degrados free
labor, retards European immigration, lnstils
nameless immOralities into the minds OF
American youth; and for all these evils re-
turns 70 our people not one good. Wecharge
upon the kepu nliean party that by law and
treaty il has fostered this colonization; and
we bold that laws and treaties should be 80
modified as to fol ever seal the gates against
the importation o. immigration Of these peo-
pie under any preteuse whatsoever. and for
such modification Of laws and treaties we
con identity look to a Democratic admins
tratiOn.
Fourth-The free public schools of Amer
lea are the basis of American freedom. No
sectarian control thereof, no sectarian in
structiOn therein, should bo permitted. Ne
are unalterably opposed to rendering any aid
from any portion OF the public funds to any
system Of instruction undor sectarian con-
troll.
tifth-We believe the law now in force in
this State, commonly known as the "buliion
tax law" to be Just and equable. We op-
pose any modification OF that law as unjust
TO the citizen and resident miner, and solely
in the interest of foreign and aggregated cap
ital and we pledge ourselves to support no
one for legislative position who does not
pledge himself as opposed TO such rcduc-
ton.
sixth.-We know of no good purpose to be
subserYed by calling q Constitutional Con-
vention in Nevada. We believe the PROPOSE
ton tor such convention to be In the interests
solely Of tie foreign capitalists who seek to
reduce the tax on bullion. Such convention
would be mer y a source of public expense.
The taxpayer, irrespective OF party, should
vote against the proposition at the approach
ing election.
Seyenth-rhe county Of Eureka is entitled
| to the territory now lying in Elko county, oc-
cuprd by The Eureka gnd palisade railroad,
| and known as the Mineral Hill strip" Our
candidates for the Senate and Assembly are
! instructed 20 use all honorable means to Sc
cure the passage Of an effectual bill assigning
| that territory 20 Eureka county.
Eighth I'VE heartily indorse the declara-
tion Of principles promulgated by the De-
mOcracy of Nevada, IN convention, in Nir-
giuia ity. on the 18th ultimo. We recognize
in A. G. Ellis, our nominee for Congress, IN
NJ. kirkp0trick, our nominee for the Su-
preme bench Of this State, and in J. G. Cur
rie, Il. Blcunerhassett and j. G. HageTman,
our candidates for Presidential Electors,
worthy and honoroble men, deserving of our
support; and that support wo pledge 10
them.
