Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-11-16
Platform Of he Republican Party d the
Stale Of NeYada.
r

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 al!
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, i'm pow
crushing our mines, miners and laborers, de-
bauching our youth, and making both men
and women lower III 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 Of
AsiaticS to the United States as little less than
servile invasion. Should the Commission
ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
eminent 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 Asatic. scourge now menacing
the we'll 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
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
cost of coinage and for the benefit of the pro-
dnoer, the entire silver product of the coun-
tr = and relieve the mining industry from the
loss of attending the shipment to, and sale Of
silver bullion ia 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 Rep
prohibiting the following OF ifs
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries, and we urge upon our
in both Houses of Congress
to continue their efforts for its defeat. Such
a restriction would work disaster to the labors
Of the prospector, and seriously retard he de-
of the mineral riches of the West
and we cordially indorse the action of our
the Hon. r. NJ. Daggett in
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty of State and Terri |
toral 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- |
tie payments and the splendid financial con- |
lition of the Republic we are in favor Of re- |
,trictinE the issuance of National and State :,
egal tender notes to denominations of not less |
han five dollars, thus creating an increased |
homo demand as circulating medium for
he precious metals which our mines are an
lually yielding.
Resolved, That General james A. Garfield |
md Chester A. Arthur, by their services to |
heir country, by their devotion to principle. |
md by their unspotted reputation as men and
citizens, are deserving Of the united and ear
lest support of all the loyal people Of the !
United States for President and Vice Presi- !
lent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination |
md we pledge to them the Electoral vote of
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over |
ma iorty.
