PLATFORM.

The Democratic party of the County Of Es-
AeraIda, in Convention assembled, reaffi ms
Its untired devotion to the principles enun-
ciated in the National and Slate platforms of
1884, - we are confident that the maintain
ence Of those principles is necessary TO the
safety, prosperity and perpetuity of the Union
under the Constitution.
ResoIrsd, That we hail with pride and ex-
altation, and most heartily indorse the nomi-
AatienSof Hon. Steven Grover Cleveland and
Thomas A. hendricks for President and Vice
President of the United States, and that we
will put forth every endeavor to further their
election, and out of the bountiful exuberation
Of our hearts will render forth our thanks to
IN Omnipotent Watcher over our earthly
blessings, In the event of their achieving \
glorious victory on the ides of November next.
Rssoiued. That owing to the strngency Of
the times throughout both county and State
for the past few years, with no Improvement
thereof In the near future, that all offices in
the State and county governments that can be
dispensed withwithoun detriment to good gov
eminent should be consolidated so ~ to BIZ
the least possible expense TO the people, and
that our assemhlymen will use every effort. If
elected, toward the consolidation of the coun-
ties into fewer number, thereby reducing
the taxation carrespondingly in cutting down
the number of c. unity governments in the
State.
That the present constitution Of this State
10 deficient In its provisions for our present
wants and inadequate to the institution by
statutory enactments of the economical
reform necessary in our State and county
governments. We, therefore, r. commend the
members of the Democratic party in Nevada
vote at the next election for the call of a Con-
Stitutional Convention.
We hold with and applaud the plank in our
State platform to, the effect that the tariff
should be so adjusted as to- yield ample reve.
nuefor the requirements OF an honest and
economical government, and that the burden
Of duties should be laid chiefly upon the lux
aries Of life, and rs lightly as posi- DE upon
the articles of necessity, and that in such al,
iustmen, the interests OF American labor and
monopoly should alone be regarded.
Resotred, That this Convention points with
more than ordinary pride TO the planks in the
State platform bearing upon the restriction OF
Chinese immigration, free schools, railroads
and free coinage of silver.
Res0iped, That this Convention Is deeply
impressed with a sense of the necessity OF
reform and retrenchment in the administra-
tisn of the county government, and of the
propriety Of nominating and cheating such
aen only to o &C as are capable and honest,
and tho will be prompt, faithful and efficient
In the discharge of every official duty, and
who have the welfare and good Of the people
Of Esmeralda County so much at heart that
they will endpavor to do their own work II
possible without the employment OF useless
deputies at the expense OF the taxpayers.
Rssetped. That We hail with satisfaction
the advent into our county and state OF any
and all enterprises that tend to develop and
establish our resources, assist our citizens
and aid in the support of our free Institutions
toward our citizens, we extend to all such q
cheerful welcome, placing them on the same
equality az individual property holders as
regards taxation and protection.

with our State nominations Of Hon. George
". Cassidy for Congressman and Hon. w. NJ
