be preserved; that the mining corporations
doing business In this State pay no more than

railroad property situated within this State
pays 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 honestly
administered; that the present rate Of assess
ment of property should be decreased 80 as to
produce only such sum as Is absolutely re-
auired to pay the expenses OF the State, at
the same time having due regard to the sur
plus of funds already in the treasury.
Resolved, That we refer with pride to the
record Of the Republican party in Congress,

may be appropriate and necessary to induce
those already among us to quit our shores at
Tire earliest practicable moment. an
Resolved, That the Republican party of the
State Of Nevada enters its most solemn pro-
test and conformation against any corrupt
interference in the politics or legislation OF
this State, by moneyed rings or corporations,
or the representatives of aggregated wealth OF
capital; that we view with alarm the increasing 3
and uneeasing attempts OF the moneyed
powers of the Pacific States to control the
elections and shape the legislation of said
States; that the principle 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 welfare of American institutions
and the freedom Of the asses.

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 II to be
the sentiment of the Republican party that
the breach of pledge given to a nominating
convention by a successful candidate for Of
fee is more disRrsccful and dishonorable
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
true and beneficent enlightenment, and L
preserve TO the men, women and children OF

maintain the Union and protect its flag; tc
guard the memories of the dead who died IL
the name OF Union, liberty and law; and &c
vindicate all our acts and purposes is the ain
ana mission of the Republican party here and
elsewhere and, first Of all, to do that which
is best for the preservation and perpetuatior

mems claims and aspirations secondary tc
these high claims and ends: these are our du
ties, and these the intentions we do mos
strenuonsly maintain and avow.
