the approval and hearty Endorsement of all
Republicans Of Nevada.
Resolved, That the hordes Of Chinese tha
are coming in upon our shores 70 eat out our
substance are destroying our country, impov-
erishing ouI mines, miners and laborers, de-
bauching our youth and making both man 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 Republi-
can party. In the language Of our great lead.
er, we regard tho immigration of Asiatics to
the United States as little less than servile
invasion. Should the Commissioners now in
negotiation with the Chinese Government
fail to secure by the 1st of Next Jannsry such
a modification of the Burlingsme Treaty es
will practically put an end TO the influx of
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty be then be promptly annulied, and
such laws enacted as will relieve us at once
and forever of the Asiatic scourge now Iaen-
acing the well-being of the Republic.
Resolved, That we most heartily fndorse
the general financial policy of the Repub-
lican party. which, in spite of every opposi-
tlOH the ph I Vi tut hhs lot "
the resumption of specie payments the rails
ing of our National credit to a height never be-
fore known and the restoration of National
prosperity. But we also demand the com
plete restoration Of silver coin to its former
position by the side of gold, and, for tht pur.
pose of attaining that end. we hold 1t to be the
duty of the General Government. through the
l,,kA Aat1
dollars or other legal tender currency, at the
cost of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
ducer, the entire silver product of the coun-
try, and relieve the mining industry from the
loss 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 infexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the committee on mines
and mining and now before the House of
representatives., prohibiting the following of
fissure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
Of surface boundaries. and we urge our Rep
resentatives in 9th Houses of Congress to
cnuue their efforts for its defeat. such
restriction would work disaster to the labor
of the prospector, and seriously retard the
development 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 ght and duty of the State and
Territorial Legislatures to regulate and re-
| strict the charges of railroads exclusively
within their respective boundaries, and that
it is no less the Constitutional right than
positive duty of Congress to regulate tariffs
and restrict the charges of interstate rail-
roads.
Resolved. That while We congratulate the
country on the succes sful resumption of specie
payments and the splendid financial cond-
tion of the Republic. we are in favor of re-
/ stricting the iss uance of National and State
/ legal tender notes TO denominations of not
/ less than five dollars, thus creating an in-
or, ased home demand as circulating medi-
um for the precious metals which our mines
are annually yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield
and Chester A. Arthur, by their services to
the counry, by their devotion to principles
| and by their unspotted reputation as men
| and as citizens, are deserving of the united
and earnest support 81 all the loyal people
of the United States for President and Vice
resident. We rejoice IN their nomination
and pledge TO them the electoral votes of Ne
vada at the ensuing election by an overwhel-
ming majority.
