. TaS FRIEND OF LABOR.
That We recognize the right of all men TO
organize for social or material advancement
the right of wa9e-workers to use all lawful
means to protect themselves against the ELL
croachment OF moneyed monopolists, aud tn Q
right to fix price for their labor commensu-
rate with the !bor required of them, and we
hold that every man has the right to dispose
OF his own labor upon such terms as he may
think will best promote his interest. In the re-
lattons between capital and labor, the Demo-
cratic party favors such measures and policies
as will promote harmony between them, and
will adequately protect The rights and interests
OF both. We freely indorse aud approve the
laws passed pursuant to the demands of for
lner Democratic Conventions making provis-
ion for the safety and protection of laborers
and miners, and provision for the collection
of their wages, aud are in favor of all other
enactments to that end which may be necesss-
ry and proper. 49,.
CHINESE IMMIGRATION RESTRICTED.
We commend the successful negotiation of
the recent treaty by President Cleveland with
the Emperor of China, by which the immigra-
ton to this country of Chinese laborers has
been stopped.
We are opposed to the further Immigration
of Anarchists, Nihilists and other undesirable
persons, who have no just appreciation OF our
institutions, nor The duties Of American cit
zenship, and We favor preventive legislation
therefor, and approve the action of the present
Administration in rigidly enforcing the law
prohibiting the importation OF foreign contrac
labor. 3
CIVIL sEcvICE REFORM
The Democratic pn"ty o. Nevada favors such
| rules aud regulations for the civil service as
will secure honest, capable and deserViuy pub
lie officers; but where honesty, ability and
merit are equal, Te believe that there world
be both justice and wisdom in giving prefer
! ence to those who would harmonize IN princi-
pie and policy with the party having the res
pom ibility OF administration.
THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
1t is the duty ftne Government to re-pos-
scss itself OF Oil public lands heretofore grant
ed for the benefit of corporations. which have
been forfeited by noncompliance with the
! conditions of the glent, and it should hold the
same foF tue use and benefit OF the people.
Laws should be passed to prevent The owner
n,
by persons not citizens of the United STYLES,
or who have not declared their intention to
become such as provided by law. Conarens
should discourage the purchase OF public land
! in large bodies by any parties for speculative
purposes, but Should preserve the same-as far
rs possible fer actual settlers, and to that end
all subsidies of land, As well as money 10
corporations and spectators, should cease for
| ever. 81. ....

The Democratic party is the faithful friend
of the soldiers and their wild WIS and orphans,
and in appreciation Of the heI oic and unsclf
! ish service of the Union soldiers and sailors,
! we declare in favor OF liberal legislation in
their behalf as a recognition of patriotism
| and reward for honorable services rendered
the Government.
