Platform Of iae Republican Party II the
State Of Nevada.

| heSOIVeC, In1l the pldtIOTI1 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 thai
are coming in upon our shores to eat out GU,
| substance 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
| servile invasion. Should the Commission
ers now in negotiation with the Chinese Gov
ernment fail to secure by the Ist of January
| such modification of the Rurlingame treaty
as will practically put an end to the influx OF
Chinese to this country, we demand that the
treaty then be promptly annulled, and such
laws enacted as will relieve US at once and
forever of the Asiatic scOurge now monacing
the well-being of the Republic.
Resolved, That We most hearth Y indorse the
general financial policy of the Republican
party, which, in spite of every opposition on
sumption OF specie payments, the raising of
our national credit to a 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 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-
duoer, the entire sill YER product of the coIn-
tr = and relieve the mining industry from the
loss of attending tho shipment to, and sale OF
silver bullion in foreign markets. AS mining
for the precious metals is the leading indus
try OF Nevada, we are infeXibiy opposed to
the bill reported by the Committee on Mines
and Mining and hPfO tho HOnSa of Rem
resentatives, prohibiting the following Of tis-
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
of surface boundaries and we urge upon our
Representatives 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 the de-
velopment OF the mineral riches of tho West,
and we cordially indorse the action of our
Representative, the Hon. II. NJ. Daggett, in
this behalf. am
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty of State and Terri
toriai 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 aud restrict
the charges of inter State railroads.
Resolved, That while we congratulate tho
on tho successful resumption of spe-
Gle pay ments and the splendid financial con-
dition of the Republic, we are in favor of re-
legal tender notes to denominations Of not less
than five dollars, thus creating an Increased
home demand as circulating medium for
the precious metals which our mines are an
nualiy yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield
and Chester A Arthur. by their services to
their country, by 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 Werejoice in their nomination
aud we pledge to them the Electoral vote of
Nevada at the ensuing election by an over
" hei u majority.
