erishing our mines, miners, and laborers. de-
bauching our youth, and making both men

| This evil must and shall be stopped, and to
this end we pledge the entire strength of the
Republican party. In the language of our
| great leader, we regard the immigration of
Asiatics to the United States as little less than
| a servile invasion. Should the Commission
erS now III negotiation with the Chinese Gov
eminent fail to secure by the LIST of January
as will practically put an end to the influx OF
Chinese to this country, we demand that the

| laws enacted as will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asatic scourgs now nenacng
the ell-being Of the Republic.
Resolved, That we most heartily indorse the
general financial policy of the Republican
party, which, in spite of every opposition on
tho part Of the Democracy, has led to the re-
sum ption of specie payments, the raising of
our national credit to a height never before
known, and the restoration of national pros
perity. But we also demand the complete
restoration of silver coin to its former posi-

resentatives, prohibiting the following Of fis-
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
Of surface boundaries, and we urge upon our
Representatives in both Houses of Congress
to continue their efforts tor its defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster to tho labors
of the prospector, and seriously retard the de-

and We cordially indorse the action of our
Representative, the Hon. r. NJ. Daggett, in
this behalf. .f........ 3D..

1t to be the right and duty Of State and Tori
torial Legislatures to regulate and restrict the
charges Of railroads exclusively within their

tho constitutional right than the positive duty
Of Congress to regulate the tariffs and restrict
the charges of inter State railroads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate the
country on the successful resumption of spe-
Gle payments and tho splendid financial con-

legal tender notes to denominations of not less
than five dollars thus creating an increased

the precious metals which our mines are an

nest support of all the loyal people OF the
United States for President and Wee Presi-
dent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination
and We pledge to them the Electoral vote Of
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over
majority.
