aided in their settlement by the Govern
ment and protected in their possessions by
just laws.
Resolved, That we recognize the wisdom
OF the trainers Of our Constitution in pro-
viding for the taxation Of the proceeds of
the mines; that all taxes should be equal
and uniform; that the present system of
taxation is az just and fair as any that can
be devised and should be preserved: that
the mining corporations doing business in
this State pay no more than their lust pro-
portion Of taxes, while the railroad prom
erty situated within this State paws much
less than its just proportion; that no more
taxes should be raised any one year than
are necessary to defray the actual and
necessary expenses of the State during the
same period, when economically and hon
estly administered; that the present rate of
assessment Of property should be decreased
so as to produce only such a sum as is alb
solutely required to pay the expenses Of the
State, at the same time having due regard
to the surplus Of funds already in the
Treasury.
Mr.. Wren again came in with an amend
ment to the last read resolution, which he
wanted added, as it would keep certain
State legislators from sliding out Of certain
Republican duties next winter. 1t was
added to the original resolution.
Resolved, That we refer with pride to
the record Of the Republican party in Con-
gress, where, in spite of the assaults of q
malignant and INSCRIPTIONS opposition,
not one stain Of dishonor rests, and not
one act has been brought to light which
reflects anything but renown upon the rep
resentatives Of our organization and its
principles.
Raartua1 That labor IN .k.orf ~oo1r,,roo
the Republican party as its exponent; de-
mands emancipation from oppression, and
elevation to its proper dignity, a just and
equal place with capital, and that both are
alike necessary to the well being Of society.
Resolved, That the General Government
should Immediately take such steps as to
absolutely stop the further immigration Of
Asiatics to our country; and that such just
and peaceful measures should be adopted
as may be appropriate and necessary to in
duce those already among us to quit our
shores at the earliest practical moment.
Resolved, That the Republican party Of
the State OF Nevada enters its most solemn
protest and condemnation against any cor
rupt interference in the politics or legisla-
ton OF this State by moneyed rings or cor
porations, or the representatives Of aggre-
gated wealth or capital; that we view with
alarm the increasing and unceasing at
tempts Of the moneyed powers Of the Pacific
States 10 control the elections and shape
the legislation of said States; that the prin-
ciple and practice are fraught with danger
to our republican form Of government, and
should be frowned down and resisted by
every individual who has at heart the well
fare Of American institutions and the free
dom of the masses.
Resolved, That we are unalterably OPP
posed to the diversion of any moneys
raised by the taxation of the whole people
to the use or benefit of any sect or religious
denomination.
Resolved, That we solemnly declare it to
be the sentiment Of the Republican party
that the breach OF a pledge given to a NOM
mating convention by a successful candi-
date for Office is more disgraceful and dis
honorable than the violation OF any private
trust or duty can possibly be.
Resolved, That to promote the advance
ment Of education and morals, to stimulate
a true and beneficent enlightenment, and
to preserve to the men, women and chill
dren of this State the fruits of the taxes so
cheerfully borne aud generously disbursed
in behalf of our admirable system of public
schools; to maintain the Union and protect
its flag; to guard the memories of the dead
who died in the name of the Union,
liberty and law; and to yindicate all our
acts and purposes, is the aim and mission
Of the Republican party here and else
where, and, first of all, to 10 that which is
best for the preservation and perpetuation
Of that party and its principles, holding all
mems claims ans aspirations secondary to
these high claims and ends: these are our
duties, and these the intentions we do most
s~trenuously maintain AND ayow.
Platform and resolutions were adopted.
1t was ordered that each candidate for
Office before this Convention deposit with
the Secretary $40, and the successful can
didates put up $50 additional.
J. A. Stephens then, in the order OF
business named, placed the name of Il. M.
Daggett before the Convention as the NOM
inee for Congressman.
Mr.. Daggett was called up and said he
could see trouble brewing; it was a good
idea for the Republicans to place their best
men ON the ticket: he s~ubstantiated the
resolutions, etc.
Ii was moved to adjourn, but was ruled
out Of order by the Chair, on the ground
Of a motion being before the house.
Mr.. Wren said that everybody knew
what ''adjourning' meant to a conventions;
it meant dicker, swap or trade. The men
who offered this motion couldn't adjourn
this Convention to swap round and get q
Lieutenant Governor
Captain Palmer replied that he believed
they couldn't get anything. They had
been traded out Of boots and all. but he
wanted the ayes aud noes on the adjourn
ing question. They voted to stay and go
on with the nomination Of a candidate for
Governor.
E. P. Torrey put in nomination John II.

by j. A. Stephens in II neat little speech for
Mr.. Kinkead.
Mr.. Kinkead appeared and said he in
dorsed every plank and splinter Of the
platform.
Mr.. Wren then announced that he would
place a nominee before the Convention
who had stood by his country in times of
need; a veteran Of the Mexican war; a man
who had led a successful war against the
Indians; O man who had stood, with a
handful OF men, against the entire band OF
Mormon outlaws; q man whom he de-
lighted to present, even though he knew
the Storey county delegation would buck
against him-and he was none other than
General Common.
ii. r. Mighels seconded this nomination,
and went one better on his war record
declaring the General q hero Of the Florida
war.
General Connor declared that the plat
form suited him, and then the delegates
pronounced their choice as the roll was
called, Kinkead receiving sc votes and
Conner So.
On motion j. H.. Kinkead was, by una
imous voice, declared the Republican can
didate for Governor at the ensuing cleo
ton.
A motion IN adiourn was mada brt d;d

For Lieutenant Governor Farmer Tread

speech, to the effect that H. r. Mighels had
a good record as q soldier; he was compe-
