maintaining unimpaired

: State. We shall defend it agains
sectarian, political OR other i'm
proper influences, ard we favol
such additional legislation as the
> condition and wants of the com
; mon schools Of the State may
require. AS free institutions
they should be so conducted as
, to satisfy poor and rich alike
,, and upon this principle we urge
the adoption of some system by
which this State shall furnish
the text books at the lowest pos
sible figure.
ResoIred, That owing to the
remote position of Nevada from
the seaboard and the entire alb
sence of navigabIe waters and
competing lines Of railroads to
and from commercial centers,
we demand from Congress such
wholesome and effective legis-
lation as will place our people on
terms of equality in respect to
transportation charges with con-
munities specially favored by
railroad monopolies.
| Res0lrod, That we pledge the
Republican party Of Nevada to
such a course of enlightened
legislation as will extend to rail-
road and all other corporations
doing business in this State the
same protection and the same
rights before the law as accorded
20 individuals-nO more and no
less. And further, that the Re-
publican party favors and de-
mands at the hands Of the State
Legislature legislation regula-
ting and equalizing freights and
fares on all railroads within this
State.
Resolred, Thet we are in favor
Of the Government of the United
States establishing postal tele-
graph service, and operating the
same in connection with the
Postefilce Department.
Resolred, That the coinage of
silver should be placed upon the
same basis as that Of gold, and ,
we invoke early Congressional |
legislation to that end.
Resolced, That it is the duty
Of the Legislature to enact such
laws as will result in the puri-
fication Of the jury box and
better promote the administra-
tion of justice.
Resolped. That it is the duty
of the next Legislature to pass
such laws as shall reduce the
expenses Of State and county
governments to the lowest pos
sible limit consistent with the
requirements Of the public SER
vice.
Reso}red, That the earnest
Of Congress and the
State Legislature is directed to
the subject of codifying the laws
relating to the location and
of mineral lands to
the end that legitimate prespec-
ting and the development of our
chief source Of wealth may best
be promoted.
Resolred, That the appropri-
alton by a Republican Congress
for the payment of pensions to
invalid Union soldiers and to
the veterans Of the Mexican war {
is the discharge of a debt of
honor and law-a generous re-
Of our cOuntry's de- I
tenders in its supreme hour of |
peril.
Resoired, That in the judg- $
nent of this convention the
legislature, when next con- c
should make the neces- ,
AIRY provisions for a convention
o revise the entire Constitution
# the State; that in providing
or such convention, wcll-guard- il
d restrictions should he made, )

We believe such convention is !, {
