PARTY OF ORMSBY COUNTY
We, the citizens of Ormsby County, adopt
the following as the platform on which, with
out distinction of party, we propose to make
the ensuing canvass.
1st.-We are opposed to any repeal mod
iication or change of the law taxing the net
proceeds of the mines.
2nd.-We arraign the transcontinental
railroads for their un ust and oppressive dis
examinations i'll the matter of freights and
fares to and between points in this State, and
we demand prompt legislation by Congress
and the State Legislature for the correction of
those abuses
Bird. THAT the General Government should
Immediately take such steps as to absolutely
stop the further immigration of Asiatcs to our
country; and that such Just and peaceful
measures should be adopted as may be appro-
pirate and necessary to induce those already
among us to quit our shores at the earliest
practical moment.
4th.-We repudiate and denounce the doc
trine that any public officer may disregard and
ignore the pledges made to his constituents
and on the faith of which he was elected and
declare that if such practice be tolerated, it
will result III the destruction of representative
democratic government; and we declare that
no power exists which an relieve officials from
pledges made to the eople previous to their
election.
5th.-That we view with alarm the increas-
ing and unceasing attempts of the moneyed
powers of the Pacific States to control the cleo
lions and shape the legislation of said States,
that the principle and practice are fraught
with danger to our Republican government,
and should be frowned down and resisted by
every individual who has at heart the welfare
of American institutions and the freedom of
the masses.
6th,-ReSolced, That the stock brokerage
business should be regulated by law and the
security of the people be protected by proper
legislative enactment
