require As free institutions they
, should be 80 conducted as to satisfy
, poor and rich alike, and upon this
principle we urge the adoption Of some
system by which this State shall fur
nish the text books at the lowest posi-
BILE figure.
Resolred, That owing to the remote
position of Nevada from the seaboard
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 monopolies.
| Resolced, 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 more and no less. And further,
that the Republican party favOrs and
demands at the hands Of the State Leg
islature legislation regulating and
equalzing freights and fares on all
railroads within this State.
Resolred, That we are in favor of the
Government of the United States estab-
fishing postal telegraph service, and
operating the same in connection vii
the Postof1ice Department.
ResoIred, 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.
ResOired, That it is the duty of the
Legislature to enact such laws as will
result in the publication of the jury
box and better promote the administra

Resolced. That it is the dNty Of the
next Legislature to pass such laws as
shall reduce the expenses of State and
county governments to the lowest sop
sible limit consistent with the require

Rcs0lred, That the earnest attention
OF Congress and the State Legislature is |
directed to the subject Of codifying the !
laws relating TO the location and work |
ing of mineral lands to the end that
prospecting and the develop !
mcnt Of our chief source Of wealth may |
best be promoted.
Rc2olred, That the appropriation By a
Congress for the payment |
Of pensions To invalid Union soldiers
and to the Veterans of the Mexican war
is the discharge of a 'Eebt of honor and !
ltw-a generous remembrance of oar
defenders in its supreme hour
Of peril.
Resotred, That in the Judgment OF
this convention the Legislature, when
next convened, should make the neces-
s;ary provisions for Il convention to re-
wise the entire Constitution of the State;
that in providing for such convention,
Weli-guar,!eu restrictions should be
made, defining the number Of delegates,
heir compensation, and fixing the dur
.tion Of its session that we believe
such a convention is imperatively de-
handed by the urgent necessities of
ne times, and among others for the
cogent reasons: FirSt-TO
.hange the fundamental law as to Sc
.ure as nearly as may be the equal and
lniform taxation on all property sub

oads doing business in this State, to
he end that our eading industries may

ecure the reduction of the expenses Of
he state to the minimum by dispcns-
ag with ail unnecessary officers and J
mp!oyes, rendering more speedy and
the collection OF public
ev nup, and the execution of the law
