BILE figure.
ResOlred, That owing to the remote
position of Nevada from the seaooard
and the entire absence of navigable
waters and competing lines of railroads
to and from commercial centers, we de-
mand from Congress such wholesome
and effective legislation as will place
our people on terms of equality
in respect to transportation charges
with communities specially favored
by railroad monopoIies.
Resolred, That we pledge the Repub
lican party Of Nevada to such a
course of enlightened legislation as will
extend to railroad and all other corpOra-
tionS doing business in this State the
same protection and the same rights be-
fore the law as accorded 20 individuals
no mere and no less. And further,
that the Republican party favors and
demands at the hands Of the State Leg
islature legislation regulating and
equalizing freights and fares on all
railroads withln this State.

Government Of the United States estab-
fishing postal telegraph service, and

best be promoted.
ItcS1'rcd, That the appropriation by a
Congress for the payment
Of pensions to invalid Union soldiers
and to the veterans of the Mexican var
is the discharge OF a Gebt OF honor and
laW-a generous remembrance OF our
