The report on permanent organization
by the committee was then adopted with
remark.
The Committee on resolutions then
offered the following resolutions, which
met with favor:
Resolved. That the Republican party of
county, Nevada, hereby reafiirms
its allegiance to the cardinal principles of
the grand old Republican party that has
for SO many years preserved the national
life from Democratic assassination.
Resolved, That the maintenance of the
great principles of the Republican party is
to the peace. ~permanency and
prosperity OF the nation; that all citizens
be guaranteed equal rights and
equal protection under the law without
to race, religion, condition or occu-
that no exclusive privilege should
be granted to individuals or classes; that
the common school system should be cher
and perfected, and to that end the
fund should not be diverted to sec
tartan purposes; that taxation should be
equal and uniform; that taxation, State
and county, should be reduced; that rigid
economy should be practiced in all ex-
penditures, State and county; that such
legislation should be adopted as may be
to protect the lives and secure
the comfort Of miners and other laborers
employed in hazardous occupations.
Resolved, That the Union soldiers are
entitled to all honor, and that the displace-
ment and substitution OF rebel soldiers as
employees, by the Democratic majority in
the National House Of Representatives
should be condemned by every patriotic
citizen.
Resolved, That the public lands and
mines belong to the people, and should be
reserved exclusively for the actual settlers
and locators, SO that the industrious poor
may be encouraged and aided to enter upon
and occupy them.
Resolved, That the law now in force in
this State, commonly known as the Bullion
Tax law, is just and equitable. We oppose
any repeal of that law as unjust to the cit
liens and resident miners and solely in the
interest Of foreign capital, and We pledge
ourselves to support no one for a legisla'
tive position who does not pledge himself
as opposed to such repeal.
Resolved, That we solemnly declare it te
be our opinion that the breach Of a pledge
given to q nominating convention of a sue
cessful candidate for Office is more dis
honorable than the violation Of any private
trust or duty can possibly be.
Resolved, That we request the members
Of the State Legislature to use their best
efforts to secure the passage of a law pro
viding for the payment Of reasonable sala
ries to county officers, and prevent tn,
payment Of extravagant amounts in fees OF
otherwise to county officials for small ser
vices.
