S-yerth-S hrreaS in sill Just governments
the principles of equalization is recognized as
best calculated to protect the different proper
ties and INDUSTRIES of she community from in
yi6ious discriuiiration and whereas 1t Is emil
nently lust and proper that the mining indus.
tries of the state should bear tn. II proportion
ate part OF the burdens of taxaiion; aud whereas
the Constitution requires the taxation OF I'll
property within the state. and directly au;hcr
ICES the tavat,on OF the proceeds of the mines:
and whereas the present. method OF SscertalElBg
values for the assessment Of the proceeds OF the
mines is not oppressive to that interest, and
does not in any nlanner discriminate against
such interest; Therefore the Republican pa ty
il opposed to any repeal or chsnge Of the pres
emit law rrovidilg for the taxation Of the net
of the mes, looking to any different
nieth d of arriving at values for lhe purpose OF
tag ition. But il a reduction OF the rate OF tax
Al ion can be made with safety to the interests
of the State in order ia meet the necessary
wants of State and county governments, then
the proce DE- of the mines should share alike
with the real estate and personal property Of
the state in the benefits of such reduction.
Eishth-We declare unnlterab e opposition
against any unjust discrimination and oppres
sive exactiols practIcsd seward our State by
and MOI opoliss. and pledge our
delegation to protect the interests
Of the people.
Ninth-Ihe histary. genius and rresent con-
,!ituency OF the two great parties OF this conn
ry fully va rant the belief toat whatever of
reform may becesss-y in the administration If
government can best be intrus;ed to that party
which, in spite of treason and rebellion, has
that greatest reform o; the &c u
Jury, the uplifting Of four millions of Gods
creatures from slavery to citizenship, from tho
ash to the spelling book.
Resolved, That We denounce the denlaScgUery
If those who shrek - reform solely Ms means
20 acquire the loayes md fishes of official power,
while We pledge generous and hearty support
o every measure OF honest civil service reform
Reform in our governmental affairs, in the con-
luct of oationai, State and county governments
= indispensable in all matters. Whence, er En-
ors of omission or commission are observable
n may be discovered, and with pride aud de-
light we refer an chs rving public TO the past |
history of our party in proof OF the fact that |
10 man has rendeted such services or reached |
uch elevated positi in the Government, or
,cen endeared to Republican hearts. but that |
IN tie slightest accusation Of any against his |
integrity, quick searching and unsparing inEts
igatien has followed. sna i'll any and all cases |
when the party investigated has Jailed to stand |
uch test such person has unhesitatingly and |
been hurled by the hand vi the !
Republican party from place.
Teuth-The Dem ocratic party, by its action |
n the last House Of Representatives, has fully |
demonstrated its entire unitness to manage the !
dairs of this Government. The conduct or |
iAt p1Ify mas SuDNh tnat II Is u't i t'lthettt-
tive of the :. Lost Cause. ana that its return |
D power will be nothing more nor less than !
ec05njtion of tins state of affairs which existed |
efore, and which induced, the rebellion. We |
aution the people against allowing the Demo-
ratio party to again assume the management
t the Natl On, because We consider that such |
u event will be fraught with dire evils to the |
eople and the perpetuity of this Republic. We
EAR tine payment of the Confederate d. BIT, the
ayment for the slaves liberated and many
tier claims which the whole people have here
,fore opposed, and we appeal to the people
rat in this Republican party these vest their
My safety.
