= should be so conducted rs 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-
bic 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.
Resoired, 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 70 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
equalizing freights and fares on all
railroads within this State.

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

Congress for the payment

ResOtred, That in the Judgment of
this convention the Legislature, when

5ary provisions for a convention to re
wise the entire Constitution of the State;
hat in providing for such convention,
Neli-guarded restrictions should be
made, defining the number of delegates,
heir compensation, and fixing the dur

cOgent reasons: FirSt-To
