Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1880-09-16
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 aud receives
the approval and hearty Endorsement of all
Repub irans of Nevada.
Resolved, That the lordes of Chinese that
are coming in upon our shores to eat out our
su bsrance are destroying our country, impov-
erishing 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 OF
Asiatics to the United States AS little less than
"A Servile invasion. Should the Commissions
ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
ernment fail to secure by the LIST of January
such modification of the Rurliugame treaty
a. will pract icaily put an end to the influx or
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty then be promptly dnnulied, 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 hearth v 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 silver coin to its former posi-
tltil Nv Tie Siie Vi SOlU, anu, IoI tue purpose
of attaining that end, we hold it to be the duJY
of the General Government, through the au
ihoriZati0n of Congress, to coin into standard
dollars or other legal tender currency, at the
cost of coinage and for the benefit OF the pro
Queer, the entire sill yer product of the coun-
try, and relieve the mining industry from the
loss of attending the shipment to, and sale OF
silver bullion in foreign markets. As mining
fir the precious metals is the leading indus
Irv of Nevada, we are intieXiblv opposed to
the bill reported by the COMMITTEES on Mines
aud Mining and now before the House of Rep
reSentativeS, prohibiting the following of fi>-
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
A restrict ION would work disaster to the lanorS
of the pros pector, and seriously re ard thu de
velopment Of the mineral riches Of he West
and we cordially indorse the action of our
Representative, the Hon. K. NJ. Dag -ett, in
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican parry claims
1t To be the right and duty OF Stale and Terri
tOria Legislatures o reyu ate and restrict the
charges of railroads exclusively Within their
respective boundaries, and that it is no less
the rous itu ional right nan the positive duly
of Congress to regulate the tariffs aud restrict
he charges of inter Stale railroads.
Resolved. That while we congratulate the
country on the successful resumption of spe-
Gle pavments and the splendid financial con
dltion OF the RepnbIc, we are IN favor OF re-
the issuance of National and state
legal tender notes to denominations of not less
than five dollars, thus creating an increased
home demand as 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, by their devotion to principle.
and bv their un> pOtted reputation : men and
citizens, are deserving of the united and ear
nest support of ali :he loyal people Of the
United States for President and Vice Presj-
dent thereof. We rejoice in their nominations
and we pledge 10 3he,n the Electoral vote OF
Nevada AT the ensuing election by au over
Nvheim;ng majority.
