The Committee offered the following
PLATFORM AND RESOLUTIONS:
First, The Democracy Of Humboldt county
in convention assembled, reaffirming their de
yotion to the principles Of the Democratic
party, adopted by the National Convention,
with satisfaction indorse the nominees thereof
the soldier statesman, General Winfield S.
Hancock and W. 70 English.
Second, We appeal to the people of Hum
boldt county, without regard to party, to con
slider weil, before they east a single ballot that
may result in the election of the Republican
nominee for President of the United States, an
avowod enemy of the principal product of Ne
yada, and declared opponent to every
measure directed toward relieving the people Of
this coast from Chinese Immigration. The
election OF such a man by the votes of our peo
pie would be a blow against every miner and
mine owner in the State, and qualification Of
the united voice of the whole people of this
coast in opposition to the Chinese.
Third, We reaiiirm that no person should be
elected by the Legislature Of the State to the
high office OF United States Senator in violation
of the Federal Constitution, which provides
that mo person shall be Senator who shall not,
when elected, be an nhabitant OF the State for
which he shall be chosen.
Fourth, That it is the right and duty Of the
Legislature OF Nevada to regulate the railroad
charges within the State and the nominees of
this convention for the Legislature are hereby
pledged that IL elected they will diligently in
quire into the subject OF railroad charges, and
regulate the same upon fair basis OF the
income upon the cost of construction and ex-
pense OF operating the same
Fifth, Recognizing the Importance of main
taining just and uniform system of taxation
throughout the State Of all species of property,
including the proceeds of mines, We are in
favor Of preserving existing legislation provid-
ing for the taxation Of such proceeds; and the
candidates for the Legislature nominated. by
this convention are hereby pledged to oppose
ans amendment or repeal of such legislation.
