Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-09-19
Platform Of the Republican Party Of 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-
ershing 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 vt
Asatics 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 lst 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 rs 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
peritv. But we also demand the complete
restoration of si yer coin to its former posi-
ton by the side Of gold, and, for the purpose
of attaining that end, we hold 1t to be the duty
of the General Government, through the au-
thorization Of Congress, to coin into standard
dollars or Their legal tender currency, at the
cost of coinage and for the benefit of the pro
Queer. the entire sill yer product Of the conn
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 metals is the leading indus
try of Nevada, we are inf1exiblv opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining aud now before the House OF Keep
resentatives, 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
4 restriction would work disaster to the labOrs
of the prospector. and seriously retard the de-
velo plllent of the mineral riches of tho West,
and We cordially indOrse the action of our
Representative, the Hon. r. M. Daggett, in
I his behalf.
Resolved. That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty of State and Terri
tOriaI LegiS atureS 10 regulate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively within their
boundaries, and that it is no less
the constitutional right than the positive duty
If 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-
''e pavments and the splendid financial con-
dition of the Republic, we are in favor of re-
stricting the issuance Of National and State
legal tender notes to denominations of not less
than i've dollars, thus creating an increased
home demand as a circulating medium for
he precious metals which our mines are an
iuallv yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield
and Chester A. Arthur. by their services to
heir country, bv their devotion to principle.
and by their unspOtted reputation men and
citizens, are deserving of the united and ear
nest support of all the loyal people of the
niied States for President and Vice Presi-
tent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination
md we pledge tn bean the Electoral vote of
Nevaeta at the ensuing election by an over
:. helmi"g majority.
