Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-11-10
Platform If the Republican Party If the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
ton at Chicago in June deserves and receives
the approval and hearty Endorsement of all
Republicans of Nevada
Resolved, That the hordes of Chinese that
are coming In upon our shores to eat out our
substance are destroying our country, impov
Crushing our mines, miners, and iaborers. de-
bauching our youth, and making both mon
and women lower in the scale Of humanity.
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 tho immigration of
AsiaticS to the United States as little less than
a servile invasion. Should the Commission
crs now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
eminent fail to secure by the LIST of January
such modification of the Rurlingame treaty
as will practically put an end to the influx of
treaty then be promptly annulled, and such
laws enacted as will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asatic scourge now nenacing
the well-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
the part of the Democracy, has led to the re-
sumption of specie payments, the raising of
our national credit to 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-
ton by the side OF gold, and, for the purpose
of attaining that end we hold it to be the duty
Of the General Government, through the au-
thoriZatiOn of Congress; to coin into standard
dollars or other legal tender currency, at the
cost Of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
Queer, the entire silver product Of the coun-
trs and relieve the mining industry from the
loss OF attending the shipment to, and sale OF
silver bullion in foreign markets. AS mining
for the precious metals is the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are infiexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining and now before the House of Rep
prohibiting the following OF hs-
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and We urge upon our
in both Houses of Congress
to continue their efforts for its defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster to the iabors
of the prospectOr, and SeriouSl y retard the de-
velopment Of the mineral riches of tho West,
and we cordially indorse the action of our
the Hon. Il. NJ. Daggett, in
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty OF State and Terri
torial Legislatures TO regulate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
boundaries, aud that it is no less
the constitutional right than the positive duty
Of Congress to regulate the tariffs aud restrict !
The charges Of inter State railroads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate the |
country on the successful resumption of spe |
Gle payments and the splendid financial con- |
}ition Of the Republic, We are i'll favor of re- |
stric.in2 the issuance of Natiohal and State :.
cgal tender notes to denominations of not less |
han five dollars, thus creating an increased |
lomo demand as a circulating medium for |
he precious metals which our mines are an |
,uallv yielding.
Resolved, That General James a. Garfield |
md Chester A. Arthur, by their services to |
heir country, by their devotion to principle. |
md by their unspOtted reputation as men and |
citizens, arc deserving of the united and ear
lest support of all the loyal people of the |
United States for President and Wee Presi- |
lent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination |
md We pledge to them the Electoral vote of |
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over |
majority.
