the approval end hearty Endorsement OF sll
Republicans Of NevsdA.
Resolved, That the hordes Of Chinese ths
are coming In upon our shores TO eat out our
substance are destroying our country. impov-
erishing oui mines, miners and lsborers. de-
bauching our youth and making both man and
women lower IL 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 the immigration Of Asiatics to
the United States 90 little less than . servile
invasion. Should the Commissioners now in
negotiation with the Chinese Government
fail to secure by the lst Of Next Jannsry such
modification Of the Burlingsme Treaty cs
will practically put an end to the influx OF
Chinese to this country, We demand that the
treaty ba then be promptly annulied, and
such laws enacted as will relieve US at once
and forever Of the Asistic scourge now ruen-
scing the well-being Of the Republic.
Resolved, That we most heartily indorse
the general financial policy Of the Repub-
licsn party. which, in spite Of every opposi-
tion on the pc of the Democracy. has led to
the resumption of specie payments. the rails
Ing of our National credit to . height never BE-
fore known, and the restoration Of National
prosperity. But we also demand the COM
rlete 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
authorization Of Congress. to coin into silver
dollars or other legal tender currency. ct the
cost Of coinage and for the beneAt 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 roreign markets. As mining
try Of Nevada. we are inhexibly opposed to
the bill reported by the committee on mines
spd 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
resentati rs in 9th Houses of Congress to
cnnue their effo rts 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. Dsggett.
in this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right 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, Thst while we congratulate the
country on the successful resumption of specie
payments and the splendid financial cond :
ton of the Republic. we are in favor Of re.
stricting the las uance OF National and State
legal tender notes to denominations of not
less than Ave dollars, thus creating an in
Gre ased home demand as q circulating msdi-
um for the precious metals which oar 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 rs citizens. are deserving Of the united
and earnest support Of all the loyal people
of the United States for President and Vice
| President. We rejoice In their nomination
and pledge TO them the electoral votes Of Ne
vada at tae ensuing election by an ovsrwhsl.
ming majority.
