PLATFORM n RESOLUTIONS.
1t was ordered that each section and res
%olution be taken up and accepted or re-
jected in the order read.
Resolved, Chat we reaffirm the principles
OF. and renew our allegiance to the party
which preserved the Union, freed the
slaves and maintained the essential doc
trine; that this is a nation, and not a con-
federacy bound together with ropes of
sand, and that both State and national
governments should give ample and COM
plete protection to its citizens, both at
home and abroad; that against the assaults
of traitors and rebels, the Republican party
has preserved these governments, and the
Republicans Of Nevada now demand that
every qualified cloctor in every State
South and North-Democrat and Republi-
can, black or white, shall be permitted, un-
disturbed by force and unawed by fear, to
vote at all elections at the places prescribed
by law, and that every vote SO east shall
be honestly counted, N that every person
chosen by such votes, to any Office, shall
be freely indicted into it and effectively
supported in the discharge Of its duties:
that the permanent pacifieation Of the
Southern section of the Union, and COM
plete protection of all its citizens in all
their civil, political. personal and property
rights, is the duty TO which the Republican
party stands sacredly pledged. In order
to redeem this pledge, il placed the recent
amendments in the Constitution, and upon
the righteous basis of said amendments il
will 60 forward in the work of pacification,
until peace shall come through right doing,
and contentment through justice. That
the evident purpose OF the Democratic
party, if it should come into full power, is
| to pay hundreds of millions OF suspended
war claims Of disloyal men, already pre-
scented to Congress or awaiting a favorable
moment for presentation, makes it doubly
important. now that the Senate is soon TO
pass under Democratic domination, that
the House Of Representatives to be chosen
in the coming election, should be under
| Republican control.
Resolved, That the validity Of the Presi-
Dental term was definitely and finally set
tied by the ~Forty-fourth Congress, and
| that the attempt Swallowed forth by the
Potter resolutions TO disturb the title by
which President Hayes and Vice-President
Wheeler hold their seats is revolutionary
and dangerous in the extreme, and char
acteristic as it is OF the underlying motives
OF the rebel Democracy call for our un-
qualified ~disapproval and denunciation.
Resolved, That it is the duty Of Con-
gress to perfect with all possible expedi-
ton such legislation as will secure to the
country the benefit Of an honest and fair
adjustment OF freights and fares on all
| railroads, whose construction is the result
| Of land grants, subsidies, loans and other
| Government aid or assistance.
wren's amendment was here offered, and
he substantiated the tone Of 1t by en-
| phatic word and voice, as to his desire to
| see the railroads regulated in their out
rageous claims upon freight and travel,
| Notwithstanding that his enemies had been
| publishing to the world his name as q tool
in the hands OF railroad ~monopolies.
Mr.. Wren's amendment was this:
Resolved, That the Republican party
favors and demand at the hands Of the
State Legislature legislation having in view
| the regulation and equalization Of freights
| and fares on the railroads within this State.
Mr.. Loomis, Of Storey county, offered a
substitute.
Mr.. Wren said this substitute was Matched
in the Enterprise office, and was, conse-
quently, more wordy, but was enough like
On q vote tho substitute was l%ost-ayes
SO, noes 10.
The amendment offered by Mr.. Wren
was then taken up n adopted, by a vote
Of l01 TO 20.
The original resolution was also adopted,
and the amendment was declared a part Of
the original.
Resolved, That in their shameless disre-
gard OF our avowed principles, the Demo-
cratic party Of this State, in their unmis-
taxable purpose to nominate the present
incumbent Of the G~ubernatorial office for
a third term, have brought upon themselves
the deserved distrust, not only of every Re
publican. but Of the more honorable and
consistent members Of their own party.
Resolved, That we believe in the doc
trine Of rotation in Office, and that so be-
lieving, we are opposed to the nomination
Of candidates to Office under the State Gov
eminent for a third term.
Resolved, That we hail with joy the re-
monetization Of silver as a stop toward our
emancipation from the grasp of the corrupt
money rings Of Europe and America, and
We ask Congress to complete the measure
Of our redemption by according to silver
