State. We shall defend it against
sectarian, political or other i'm
proper influences, and we favor
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.
Resoyced, That owing to the
remote position of Nevada from
the seaboard and the entire ab-
sence of navigable waters and
competing lines Of railroads to
and from commercial centers,
we demand from Congress such
wholesome and effective iegis-
lation as will place our people on
terms of equality in respect to
transportation charges with COM
munities specially favored by
railroad monOpolies.
Resolred, That we pledge the.
Republican party of Nevada to
such 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, Th@t We are in favor
of the Government of the United
States establishing a postal tele-
graph service, and operating the
same in connection with the
PostefHce 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.
ResOlred, That it is the duty
of the Legislature to enact such
laws as will result in the puri-
tication of the jury box and
better promote the adminlstra-
ton of justice.
Resolued. 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
sib!e limit consistent with the
requirements of the public SER
vice.
Eesolred, That the earnest
attention of Congress and the
State Legislature is directed to
the subject of codifying the laws
relating to the location and
working of mineral lands to
the end that legitimate prospec-
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
membrance of our cOuntry'5 de-
Tenders in it's supreme hour of
peril.
Reso1red, That in the judg-
ment of this convention the
Legislature, when next con-
vened, should make the neces-
sary provisions for convention
to revise the entire Constitution
Of the State; that in providing
for such convention, well-guard-
ed restrictions should he made,
defining the number of delegates
their compensation, and fixing
the duration of its session that
we believe such a convention Is
imperatively demanded by the
urgent necessities OF the times.
and among others for the fol-
lowing cogent reasons: First
To change the fundamental
law as to secure us nearly as may
be the equal and uniform tax
alton on all property subjected
thereto, Secoud-To regulate
and render equal and just all the
rates of passage and freight
upon all railroads doing busi-
ness i'm this State, to the emu
