Platform Of ths Republican Party d the
State Of Nevada.

Resolved, That the platform of principles
adopted by the National Repub lioan 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
| su bst ance are destroying our country. impnv-
ershing our mines, miners, and iabOrers. de-
bauching our youth, and making both men
and women lower in the scale Of humanity.
This evil must and shall be stopped and tn
this end we pledge the entire strength Of the
Republican party. In the language Of our
| great leader, we regard the immigration ~
Asatics to the United States as little iess than
a servie invasion. Should the Coininissl0n-
ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
eminent fail to SECURE by the LIST of January
such a modification Of the Rurlingame treaty
az will pract ically put an end to the lnnu1 OF
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty then be promptly Annulled, aud such
laws enacted as will relieve us at once and
forever of the Asiatic scourge now menacng
the well-being of the Republic.
Resolved, That we most heartily indorse the
general financial policy OF the Repubi'ca"
party, which, in spite of every opposition on
the part Of the Democracy, has led to the re-
sum ptiOn Of specie payments, the raising of
our national credit to a height never before
known, and the restoration of nAtlOnal pros
pertv. 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-
thnriZatiOn Of Congress, to coin into standard
dollars or OF her 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 "t
silver bullion in foreign markets. A. mining
for the precious met ais is the leading indus
trv of NoyaHa Wo inAoYih1v OuDCStN
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining aud now before the House of Rep
res-ntatives, prohibiting the following of H.
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and we urge upon our
Representatives in both Houses of Congress
10 continue their efforts Tor its defeat. Such
\ RESTRICTION would work disaster to tho labors
Of the prospectOr, and seriously re- ard the de-
veloprnent of the mineral riches of tho West,
and we cordially indorse the action Of our
Representative, the Hon. r. M. Dagyett, in
his behalf.
Resolved. That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty of State and Terri
tOriai Legislatures 10 regulate and restrict the
respective boundaries, and that it is no Less
the constitutional right than the positive duty
of Congress to regulate the tariffs aud restrict
the charges of inter State railroads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate tho
country on the successful resumption of spe-
cio payments auu Inc spieIuiu u"dhctAi CoH-
ditinn 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 five dollars, thus creating an increased
home demand a circulating medium for
the precious metals which our mines are an
nuallv yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield
and Chester A. Arthur. by their services to
their country, bv their devotion to principle.
and by their unspotted reputation as 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 them the Electoral vote of
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over
~hel,nng majority.
