Ffrst-lu returning the great truths and
rrfnc,ples enurs lated by the Republican par
~ IN its National Convention At Cincinnati.
we again renew cur allegiance TO the grand
cid party
d,.pce in the integrity, ability and patriotism
of The gentlemen selected as the standard
bearers in the coming compaign, In kuther-
ford B. Hayes and William A. wheeler we
recognize upright and capable men. whose
lives show no antagonis'ic differences. And
who are ugited on the great political and
anancial questions of the day.
Th,ri-- Believing firmly that the rerpetaitv
ef the republic rests upon the principie OF
education for the masses, We demand tnss the
free school system. which Is the GROWING
lory Of the nation. shall De preserved IN AL
its prestive purity and to thst end once again
plisht the faith Of the Republican party 70 an
anending warfare against any division OF the
school funds or any sectAr1an interference
with school privileges
Fourth-we hold the public debt of the ma
ton as . burden riShteously incurred and
sacredly 20 pe paia. doiixt for dollar. in the
honest money Of the world. Relying upon
the pl,chted faith Of the nation Is II Is record
ed in the Acts of Congress, we insiS; upon the
speedy resumption OF specie payments as
necessary to preserve the national honor and
to such resumption pledge the hcPuoAeSn
party xaa its candidates.
rif,h-we recognize the restoration OF the
silver dollar and the adoption OF the double
standard AS the only true and direct .oad to =
return to prosperity throughout the land.
s,xih--rhe Republican party of the state
Of NeyadS being the party OF the people, Is
gnsl,srshly ami einphatically opposed TO ser
vile labor in any form: therefore. we de-
naunce ths system OF Chinese ceolie labor. the
importation of this class OF labor and the
placing Of il in competition with she iaoor OF
tree American citizens. We call upon Con-
-. ,p.T fQy the
mediate shrngxsion Of the Rurlingame treaty
or the raoii tication of said treaty to an extent
that will entirely prevent the indux to our
shores of the Monaghan hordes; and the Re

Ia, use ali honorable efforts to secure such
legislation ar will forever exclude from the
United States Of America the uniformly de
graded aud vicious race who have invaded
our fields of labor 70 the injury and detrimens
Of our own people.
Scyeufh--Whcress. in all Just governments
the principle af equalization is recognized IS
best calculated TO protect the different proper
ties ami Industries of the community from
iuviaious discrimination: and whereas, II is
emiusntiy JUS; and proper that the mining
industries of the State sh ula bear taeir pro
portionste part of the burdens OF fsxsi'ons
and whereas the Constitution requires the
taration Of all property within The State, and
directly authorizes the taxation Of the proceeds
Of the mines; and whereas, the present. method
IT a~cersaining values for the assessments OF
tie proceeds Of the miues Is not oppressive
to that interest and does not in any manner
discriminate AGAINST such vital interest; there
fore the Republican party is opposed To any
repeal o. change of tae present law providing
fer the taxation Of the net procesds OF the
mines lcoklns to any different method Of ar
irving 1t values for the purpose OF taxation.
