The Democracy Of the State Of Nevads, in
convention assembled, declare the following to
be principles Of their political creed, and the
grounds upon which they ask the support sn5
cooperation Of their fellow citizens:
Believing the declaration Of principles adopt
ed by the last National democratic Convention
to be worthy the approval Of every true Ameri-
can citizen. We hereby reafhrm our fealty to and
Endorsement Of the great National principles.
Resolved, That the financial Affairs Of our
State require many important economical
changes beyond tbs power Of statutory regula-
ton. and we therefore favor the calling Of con.
stitutional convention, far the purpose of msk-
ing some change 10 the organic law Of the State
a. will relieve the people from large portion
Of the present unnecessary aud burdens0me ex-
penses CT State and county governments; and we
urge. In the meantime, the necessary rigid re-
trenchment in all branches CT the public
service.
Resolved, That we favor the creation Of . State
hoard Of Equalization, for the purpose Of regu-
lating and fairly adjusting taxable values, to
the end that rsilrosd corporations may be COM
PEELED to bear their Just proportion Of the cost
Of maintaining the State and county govern,
ments.
Resolved, That we condemn the persistent
efforts Of the Republican party to destroy the
dominant industry Of this State and evidenced
By its past.
Resolved, Thst we arraien the Republican
party, both National and State, for its broken
promise to the people. and gross sxtrsysQspce
in the disbursement Of public moneys. It prom,
ised Congressional interference TO protect the
people against unjust railroad exactiop, but its
representatives in Congress defeated every effort
ct the last session to bring forward and pass the
Reagan bill, the only pending measure which
could give any relief. The great majority Of
the Republicans In Congress used every eff 1rt
to defeat restrictive legislation on the Chinese
question; and the people Of the Pacific Coast are
indepted for the passage Of the ten.year restric-
ton law now in force to the gallant and almost
unanimous stand made BY the Democratic nom.
bers Of both Houses. With hundred and nifty
million Of dollars Of overplus revenue annually
flowing into the Treasury. the Republican party
has done nothing to tighten the unnecessary
taxation burden Of the people. but has sought
to empty the Treasury by enormous appropria-
general was.eful expenditures.
Resolyed. That although Congress has thus
far turned . deaf ear 10 the oft-reppeted de-
mspds Of the People q Nsysds for sovefppsptsl
protection against the outrsseoul diScFtmihs.
