gress to give the people free coinage Of silver
Notwithstanding tho formidable combination |
existing between the gold rings, national
banks and the National Republican party 10

Of the Republican party in California in re.
fusing to Iusert n silver plank in their plat.

producing people OF the mining regions of tbs
Pacific Coast.

national debt, retiring as rapidly az practical
BILE the national bank circulation, and the di.
rect issue by the National Government of
legal tender Treasury notos, gold and silver
coin ana coin certificates.
Fifth-We arraign the Republican party be-
fore the bar Of an enlightened public opinion
for Its high crime committed against the pub
lie peace, and against the best interests of the
white laboring classes of both sexes, by its in
lifting and encouraging the influx of Asistic
hordes to our shores under treaty stipulations
and ubder the crazy shibboleth Of 1.-THE
Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of
Man" until there are planted among the peo-
pie OF the Pacific States and Territories, like
so many leeches, sucking the life-blood of our
substance. 10000 Chinese coolies.
Sixth-We demand the immediate abrogAtion
OF the Burlingame treaty and the total sup
preston Of Chinese immigration to American
soil, and we favor legislation providing for
the deportation OF ali Chinese in the United
States, and we recommend the exclusive pat
ronage of white labor and it's produce.
Seventh-The Introduction by Senator Fair
of his Chinese Restriction bill and his success
in passing the same deserves the approval of
the entire people of the Pacific Coast.
Eighth-A proper regard for the we fare of
the workingmau being inseparably connected

Elevsnth-We commend the policy OF the
present Administration in strictly enforcing
the tariff laws, the beneficial effect OF which
ia so happily illustrated by the fact that the
| great wool growing industry of tho country
receives more protection now by collecting
the whole import duties on wool, than ii did
under the high tariff of 1867 under the prac-
tice by Republican officials of letting foreign
wool slip through our Custom.h houses at less
than one-half OF said duties.
Twelfth-In behalf of the mining indu :
try OF this State. and OF the miner the piO-
| neer OF civilization on this Coast-as well as
OF the whole people OF Nevada, we earnestly
recommend 10 the authorities at Washington
the inmeditate opening and permanent run
ming Of tho United States Mint st Carson City,
to the end that our mines may be relieved
from the unnt cessary and burdensome ex-
pense Of shipping their bullion three thou
sand niles away for market. and we hereby
commend the Efforts OF Senator Fair to &C.
complish this result.
Thtrteenth-Generous provision, State and
county, should be made for the support OF
public schools. They are established for the
benefit of all our people, and should be main
tanned entirely free from re igious or political
bias. We believe in thorough and efficient
school supervision. and are In favor OF such
| legislation ss will best promote the educa-
tional interests of our State.
Fourteenih-The depression of our mining
interests, q prominent factor I'm our revenue
resources, necessitstes the ~strIctest economy
! in all branches Of our Government, both State
and county. and we demand of all our public
officers that all possible retrenchments be
made consistent with the proper discharge Of
| the duties Of their several Offices.
Ffteenth-In common with the Democracy
Of the country We express our sympthy with
| Ireland in her great struggle for Home hule.
| The friends of liberty, throughout the " rid
| are deeply interested In the effort which the
supporters OF Gladstone and Parnell are now
making TO give the right to govern themselves
to the long-sufering and greatly wronged
| Idsh people, and We sincerely hope that the
struggle Of Ireland for her Just rights shall
be crowned with complete success.
Re Owed. That 10 common with the De.
mocracy of the whole couatry we sincerely
lament the loss of the late Vice President OF
the United States. Thomas A.. Hendricks, the
hoGored and trusted leader. whose c~onciliA-
tory counsel and patriotic teachings have be-
come the common heritage Of our common
country. We profoundly dep,ors that during q
brie: period of time the nation, and particu-
lsrly the Democratic party, has suffered the
loss OF four other eminent citizens ia the per.
sons OF the gallant leader, George b. McOIei.
Ian, the pure and wise statesman, Horatio sey-
Inour. the superb hero, Gen. Winfield Scott
Hancock. and more recently the demise Of the
discerning statesman agacious counselor and
profound political philosopher, Samuel J..
