Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-09-09
Platform Of the Republican Party If the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform Of principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
| ti"n 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-
erishing 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
his end Wa pledge the entire strength of the
| Republican party. In the language of our
great leader, we regard the immigration of
Asiaics To the United States as little less than
| u servile invasion. Should the Commission
| ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
ernment fail to SECURE by the LIST of January
such a nIo,i'ficat ion nf the Burlirgame treaty
| a. will pract caily put an end to the influx of
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty then tie promptly annulled, and such
laws enacted "a will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asiatic ~cOurge now menacing
The wei-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 "f specie payments, 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 uf silver coin to it's former posi-
tlou Nv the SHE OF kolu, ana, Tor the purpose
of attaining that end, we hold it to be the duty
of the General Government, through the au
th"rIZation of Congress, to coin into standard
dollars or o her legal tender currency, at the
cost of coinage and for the benefit Of the pro-
durer, 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 mel ais il the leading indus
,rv of Nevada, we are infieNihlv opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining aud now before the House of Rep
res+ntativeS, prohibiting the following of ifs
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
IA re~trIctI,n would work disaster to the labors
of the proSpector. and seriously rel ard the de-
Velopmenl of the mineral riches of tho West,
aud We cordially indorse the action of our
Representative. the Hon. K. NJ. Daggett, in
this behalf.
Resolved. That the Republican party claims
it to be the righi and duty of State and Terri
toria Leyis atnre~ 10 regulate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
respective boun,iar-S, and that it is no less
the ronsiIu innal right than the positive duty
of Congress TO regulate the tariffs aud restrict
I he charges of inter Stale railroads.
Resolved. That while we congratulate the
country on the successful resumption Of spe-
rie pavments aud the splendid financial con-
dition of the Republic, We are in favor of re-
the issuance of National and State
legal lender notes 10 denominations of not less
than five dollars, thus creating an increased
home demand ~ II circulating medium for
I he precious metals which our mines are an
nu tllv yielding.
Resolved. That General James A. Garfield
anf Chester A. Arthur. by their services to
their country, bv their devotion TO principle.
and by their un~potted reputation "a men and
citizens, are deserving of the united and ear
nest support of all the loyal people of the
United States for President and Vice Presi-
dent thereof We rejoice in their nomination
and we pledge to hem the Electoral vote of
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over
" helmng ma joritv.
