Platform Of tha Republican Party Of the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
tion ut Chicago in June deserves and receives
the approval and hearty Endorsement of al
Republicans of Nevada.
Resolved, That tie hordes of Chinese that
are coming i'm upon our shores to eat Out our
substance are destroying our country. imp"v-
erIShlng our mines, miners, and laborers. de-
bauching our youth, and making both "en
and women lower in the scale of humanity.
This evil must and shall be stopped and t"
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
servile invasion. Should the Commissions
ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
eminent fail to secure by the LIST of January
such modification Of the Buringame treaty
as will pract icaly put an end to the influx of
Chinese to this country. we demand that the
treaty then he promptly annuIed, aud such
laws enacted as will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asiatic ~cOurge now menacing
the well-being of the Republic.
Resolved, That we mos 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
sumption of specie aVments, the raising OF
our national credit to a height never before
known, and the restoration Of national pros
peritv. 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 du v
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-
try, 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 met ais l. the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are intiexihv opposed TO
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining and now before he House of Rep
prohibiting the following Of ifs
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and we urge upon our
in both Houses of Congress
to continue their efforts tor its defeat. Such
4 restriction would work disaster to the labOrS
Of the prospector. and seriuusly re ard the de-
velopment of the mineral riches of the West,
md we cordially indorse the action of our
the Hon. K. Nj. Daggett, in
his behalf.
Resolved. That the Repu bican party claims
It to be the right and duty of State and Terri
Oriai Legislatures TO regulate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
respective boundaries, and that it is no less
he constitutional right than the positive duty
IF Congress to regulate the tariffs aud restrict
he charges of inter State railroads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate the |
country on the successful resumption of spe- |
lie payments and the splendid financial con- |
lition of the Republic, we are in favor of re-
trictng the issuance of National and State |
egal tender notes to denominations of not less |
han five dollars, thus creating An increased |
lome demand as circulating medium for |
he precious metals which our mines are an |
lually yielding.

heir country, by their devotion to principle, !
nd by their unspotted reputation "a men and |
itiZanS 6aSeryinp of a cd nd
