State Of Neysda.

| 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 destrOyi. our country. impnv
erish;ng 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 ahall 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
eruinent fail to secure by the LIST of January
such modification of the RurIingame treaty
AZ will practically put an end to the influx of
Chinese to this country. we demand that the
treaty then te promptly annuled, and such
laws enacted will relieve at once and
forever of the Asiatic scourge now menacing
the wel-beiug Of the Repubic.'
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 re-
sumption of specie payments. the raising of
eur rational. credit to Il 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-
ton by the side Of gold, and, for The purpose

OF the General Government, through the tau
thorization of Congress, to coin INFO standard

cost of coinage and for the benefit OF the pro-
duCer, the entire silver product Of the cOuu
trtt and relieve the mining Industry from the
los, Of attending the shipment to, and sale OF
silver bullion in foreign markets. As mining

rssertstives. prohibiting the following of ifs
sure veins or deposits beyond vertical lines
Of surface boundaries and We urge upon cur
Representatives in both Houses OF Congress
to continue their efforts tor its defeat. such
u rest r!ction would work disaster to the laoors
of the prospector, and seriously retarG he de-
vel0pment of the mineral riches of the West,
and We cordially indorse the action Of our
Representative, the Hon. K. III. Daggett, IN
this behalf.
Resolved, That the Republican party claims
it to be the right and duty Of State ard Terri
tora Legislatures o regulate and restrict the
charges OF railroads exclusively within their
respective boundaries, and that 1t IS 40 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 ape
Gle payments and the splendid financial con-
ditiCu of the Republic, we are in favor Of re-
StiiCsihe the iSsuduC6 Vi ENdtiofdi SLolo ,
legal tender notes to denominations OF not less
than five dollars. thus creating an increased
hoIno demand as a circulating medium for
the precious metals which orr mines are an
nually yielding.
Resolved, That General James A. Garfield
aud 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 Fresi-
dent thereof. We rejoice in their nomination
and We pledge to them the Electoral vote of
Nevada st the ensuing election by all over
whtiminG majority.
