NEW TO-DAY.
Ies Of the puoli'

rigid economy in all branches of the public
service
| the Supreme Court of the United States, State
and National legislation is demanded to pro-
tect the people OF Nevada from the outrageous
discrimination and excessive charges OF rail-
road corporations within this State.
Fourth-The Democracy Of Nevada de-
nounces the Chinese element a. an incubus that
will paraiyze honest labor in any civilized
country on earth, and demands such a radical
change in the treaty with the Chinese Empire
as will forever stop the immigration Of the
Chinese to the United States.
Fifth-The Democracy of Nevada is In favor
of an economical administration OF the state
county and municipal governments and that
every species of property shall bear its just
and equal burden of taxation. While no war Is
made on the great corporations, II Is demand
ed that their property shall contribute for the
support Of government. the same as other
property. Unf1inching opposition to any fur
Their exemption of the net proceeds of the
mines is announced, the mining interests being
now sufficiently encouraged and protected.
Such q reduction of State taxation is demand
ed as will prevent any accumulation OF money
in the State Treasury. and as will only furnish
q suficiency for the interest ON the State debt
snd the economical administration Of the State
government.
Sixth-The Democracy reprdiates the doc
trine that any officer may disregard and ignore
the pledges made to his constituents. and on
the faith Of which he was elected; and declares
| thstif such practice be tolerated 1t will result
in the destruction of representative democratic
| government, and we declare that no power
exists which can relieve officials from pledges
made to the people previous to election.
Seventh-The Democracy of Nevada holds
the ballot to be the inalienable right Of free
citizens views with alarm the efforts OF the
great foreign corporations to control the poiiti-
cal contests in Nevada and urges the people
of this State; by their votes at the polls in the
approaching election, SO signally to rebuke and
trample upon such interference as will forever
prevent its repetition.
Eighth-The Democracy of Nevada recog-
nizes the right, MS well as the necessity, OF or
ganizing and msintaining, by the industrial
classes, Miners Unions Mechanics
Unions, and other associations, for the pur-
pose Of protection against Chinese pauper la
Dor. Under q wise and frugal Government,
which it is the mission of the Democracy to
maintain and perpetuate, any resort to force,
or to violation Of law, or invasion of the rights
of person or Of property, to redress grievances,
is needless and at war with free institutions.
By legislation, fostering and favoring the
great moneyed corporations, such as national
banks, railroad, steamship, telegraphic and
manufacturing companies, the Republican party
has perverted the Government from its true
object of protecting the people. and made it
the instrument of plundering them. 1t has
concentrated vast wealth in the hands of .
few, while the toiling millions who created
that wealth are struggling In poverty and en-
| forced idleness and IL has enabled monopolies
to devour SO great a portion Of the earnings a.
to take from the mouth of labor the bread 1t
has earned.
Ninth-The Democracy Of Nevada congratu-
late the country upon the acceptance, by the
present administration, of the constitutional
and pacific policy Of local and self COVE nfnent
in the States South, so long advocated by the
Democratic party, resulting In peace and har-
mony to that section Of the Union.
Tenth-The Der. ocracy demands the Legis-
lature to pass additional enactments 10 en- abic
stockholders to visit and examine mining
property in which they are interested.
