Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-10-19
Platform If tin Republican Party If the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principle,
adopted by the National Republican Conven
ton at Chicago in June deserves and receives
the approval and hearty Endorsement OF al
Republicans of Nevada.
Resolved, That the hordes of Chinese thai
are coming in upon our shores to eat out OUT
| substance are destroying our country, inlpov-
| crushing our mines. miners, and laborers, de-
| bauching our youth, and making both men
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 the immigration of
Asiatics to the United States as little less than
| a servile invasion. Should the Commission
| ers 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
| Chinese to this country, we demand that the
| treaty then be promptly annulled, and such
laws enacted as will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asiatic scourge now menacing
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 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-
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 sill yer product of the coun-
trys aud 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 iniexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the Committe OH Mines
and Mining and now before the House Of Rep
resentatives, prohibiting the following OF hs-
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 for its defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster to the labors
Of the prOspector, and seriously retard the de-
velopment of the mineral riches of the West,
and we cordially indorse the action of our
Representative, the Hon. r. 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 requisite and restrict the
charges Of railroads exclusively within their
respective boundaries, and that it is no less
the 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
"oantry on the successful resumption Of spe
Gle payments and tie splendid financial COZ
dition of the Republic, we are in favor of re-
stricting the issuance OF National ana state
legal tender uotes to denominations of not less
than five dollars, thus creating an increased
home demand circulating medium Tor
the precious metals which our mines are au-
nually yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield
and Chester \. Arthur, by their services to
their country. by their devotion 10 principle,
and by their unspotted reputation as men and
are deserving OF the united and ear
nest support of all the loyal people of the
United States for President aud Vice Presi- |
dent thereof. We rejoice III their nomination
and we pledge 30 them the Electoral vote Of
Nevada at tho onsuing election by an over
Whelu1ing majority.
