Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-10-17
Platform Of Iae Republican Party Of the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principles
adopted by the National Republican Conven-
! ton at Chicago N June deserves and receives
| the approval a q 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-
bauchng 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 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 Commission
ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
srnment fail to secure by the LIST of January
such modification Of the Burlingame treaty
as will practically put an end to the influx of
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty then be promptly annuiled, 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 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
or Of coinage and for the benefit Of the pro-
-, the entire silver product of the coun-
/ 81 nd relieve the mining industry from the
IS # attending; the shipment to, and sale of
si.er bullion in foreign markets. AS mining
for the precious metals is the leading indus
try of Nevada, We are inflexibiy opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining and now before the House of Rep
resentatives, prohibiting the following of tis-
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 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. II. 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 |
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 |
country on the successful resumption of spe |
Gle payments and the splendid financial con- |
iition O.. the Republic, we are in favor of re- |
.tricting the issuance of National and State |
legal tender notes 20 denominations of not less |
han five dollars, thus creating an Increased |
home dem md as "A circulating medium for
he precious metals which our mines are an
nually yielding.
Resolved, That General James a. Garfield |
md Chester A. Arthur, by their services to
heir country, BY their devotion to principle, /
snd by their unspotted reputation as lnen and
citizens, are deserving Of the united and ear
lest support Of all the loyal peo"to of the
;nted States for President and Vice rresi
lent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination
md we pledge 10 theni tie EIcctOra! vote OF
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over
\ hClming majority.
