The Republican party of Nevada in
convention assem- bled deems it unDec-
| cessary at this time to supplement- its
platform of the principles. adopted at
| the convention held at Virginia City
April 80, by adding anything further
! upon questions of national concern. Il
! renews its adherence 10 the principles
| en- bodied in that platform, and to-day.
| fully confident of the snccass ofthe Re
publican par # the Nation IN the
| coming Presidential election, con graf: u
| lates the Repu blican voters oft'Ie State
| upon the selection by the Chicago Con
vent;an Of :.eif choice fen standard
bearer. that dauntless and rcsclu'e
patriot and states man, James G. Blaine
with General Holm y. Logan as his as
soc;ate on the ticket. It adoptS an an
| ineligible creed of political principles
the platform Of the last Republican
National Convention, the triumph OF
| which principles s believes will insure
a renewed era of national progress and
prosperity. In the political campaign
which has to be fought out in the State
OF Nevada the Republican party believes
it can render no higher service to the
people than by cal hpg their attention
to the imperative Necessity which is
upon them and secure retrench-
ment in every department of the State
Government.
First-That the Republican party OF
Nevada, when it says reform, means it;
tod Vu-it l,ax 4
idle professions by which. year after
year, the intelligence Of the voters has
been insulted, their credulity over
taxed, and their long-suffering patience
abused, it declarS that it is in favor of,
and will seek to carry into effect by
Legislative enactment. the following
specific measures of reform and any
others that may be developed as salu
tlry:
The reduction of the mum Der of mem
bers Of the Legislature and of tie
number of officers and employees of both
houses thereof.
Second 1t is well-known and univers-
ally conceded that the high rates of
State and county taxation now levied
and collected are burdensOme and OPP
pressive on the people of the State and
thereby tend to discourage emigration
and the introduction and Investment
of capital.
Therefore be it Resolved: That it is
the important duty of our next Legfsla
ture to devote its early and constant
attention to Reform Legislation, that
such laws may be passed as will bring
about marked reduction in the pres
emit expense of running all State and
county governments by a reduction Of
the number of existing Judicial Dis
ments; State and county officers and
reduction of salaries Of not less than
30 per cent.
Thiu-That we are in favor ofamend
ing the State Constitution, and pledge
the Republican party to that method OF
constitutional reform. so as to limit the
regular sessions of the Legislature to
forty instead OF sixty days as at present
Fourth That in view of the fact that
necessary constitutional reform can be
accomplished by amendments to the
State Constitution as speedily and as
effectively as by a revision of that in
trusment by a Constitutional COnven-
tion-a doubtful experiment under the
most favorable circumstances - we
hereby recommend the voters Of the
State to vote at the next general efec-
ton against calling a Constitutional
Convention.
Resolved That in the mimi 8, manufac-
turing, agricultural and grazing inteIl
ests of this State are the elements of life
and prosperity, we therefore pledge the
Republican party of this state to Legis-
lation tending to the fostering and adj
vancemeni of their interests
Resolved, That we with pride point
to the administration of President Ar
thur as a model for the future conduct
of this Republic and we congratulate
the Nation upon the immensely
successful services rendered by him as
President of these United States.
Resolved, that AZ citizens Ofthe State
of Nevada we are proud of the record
made by Senator John p. Jones in the
house of the National Legislation and
as Republicans we congratulate OuI-
selevs and our party upon having
man at the head of the party In this
State whose private life is irreproacha-
able, whose public life IL stsinless,
whose ability is universally recognized
and whose position among the leaders
Of the Republican party in the Nation
and in the senate Of the United states
il such ~ to give every resident Of
NJ yaia just cause for pride.
