! free labor. All associations formed for
the purpose of developing intelligence,

The interests of the laborcr and me-
chanic, and to enable them successfully
10 oc0ntend for and maintain their rights

powerful and oppressive combinations,
should be encouraged and expressly
sanctioned by law; and the Democratic
party of Nevada is in favor 0f the en-

X.
We approve of the action ofthe Dem.
ocratic House of Congress in forteiting
and restoring to the public domain for
homcsteads for actual settlers nearly
hundred millions of acres of unearned
lands heretofnrs granted by Republi-
eau Congresses 10 railroad corpora
iioDs, and We also approve the act pre-
venting alien ownership 0t large tracts
of public lands in the United States.

Wecommend the policy ofthe present
Administration in strictly enforcing the
tariff laws, the beneficial effect of which
is SO happily illustrated by the fact that
the great wool growing industry of the
country receives more protection now
by collecting the whole import duties
ON wool, than il did under the high tar
iff or 867 under the practice by Repub-
! llcan officials of letting foreign wool
slip tlrG ugh their costom houses a. less
than one half of said duties.

In behalf Of the mining industry of
| this State, aud of the mincr-the pie
necr of civilization on this Coast--as
we'll as ot the whole people of Nevada.
we earnestly recommend Ia the autlIorl-
ties at Washington the Immediate open
| log and permanent running of the Unit
| ed States Mint at Carson City, tn the
end that our mines may be relieved
| from the unnecessarv and burdcnseme
expense of shipping their bullion three
thousand miles away for market, and
We hereby commend the effortsot Sen.
stor Fair to accomplish this result.

EDUCATION.
Generous provision, State and county,
should be made for the support of pub
lie schools. They are established for
the benefit Of all our people and should
be maintained entirely free from relig-
/ ions or pslitical bias. We believe IN
thorough apd efficient school supervis-
ion, and are IN favor of such legisla.
tion M will best promote the education
al interests of our State.
XIV.
The depression of our mining inter-
ests, = prominent factor in our revenue
resources, necessitates the strictest
economy in all branches of our govern
ment, both State and county, and we
demand of all our public officers that
all possible retrcnchments be made
consistent with the proper discharge
of the duties Of their Several offices.
XIV.
In common with the Democracy of
the country We express our sympathy
with ireland in her great struggle Tor
Home Rule. The friends o. liberty
throughout the world are deeply. IN
terested in the fort winch the cup
porters of Gladstone and Parnell are
now making, to- give the right to g"v-
ern themselves to the long suffering
aud greatly .wronged Irish people, and
we sincerely hope the struggle ot lre-
land for her just rights shall be crown
ed with complete success.

That in common with the Democ-
racy of the whole country wesincerely
lament the loss of the late Vice-Presi.
dent of the United States, Thomas A.
Hendricks. the honnred and trusted
leader. whose conciiatory councils
and patriotic teachings have become
the common heritage of our common
country. We also profoundly deplore
that during brief period of time' the
