the fact that in less than four years this
hostility has deprecated the value Of every
ounce Of silver taken from our mines nearly
20 per cent. We, therefore, heartily ap-
prove The following plank In the National
Republican Platform, viz:
The Republican party is in favor Of
both gold and silver as money, and con-
dennis the policy Of the administration Ia
its efforts TO demonetize silver"
Resolved, That we demand the main.
~tenance Of the present tariff on lead, and
denOunce the Mills bill, which reduces that
tariff Sl5 per ton, as being In the interest
of the cotton, sugar and rice producers Of
the South; as being destructive Of the prin.
ciples OF protection to home industries; as
being a long step in the direction Of free
trade; as being an attempt to establish a
system OF unrestricted foreign traffic which
will bring American workingmen into di.
rect corruption with the multitude Of IN
employed and poorly paid laborers OF Eu.
rope; and as being inimical to every mate
rial and industrial interest of this State.
Resolved, That we demand such State
legislation as shall reduce taxation to the
lowest limit consistent with the vigorous
enforcement Of the laws. We favor such
legislation as will secure the speedy ad.
ministration of justice and the economical
management Of county and State govern
ment, and to this end we recommend the
consolidation Of county and State Offices
whenever the same is possible without det-
riment to the public service.
Resolved, That we demand of our Rep
resentatives in the State Legislature most
v~igilant attention to the wants and inter-
ests of Eureka county, md hereby pledge
their opposition to all legislation inimical
to their unity and welfare.
Is now threatening to institute certain suits
known as timber suits" against certain
corporations, notably, the Richmond Min
ing Company Of Nevada, and the Eureka
Consolidated Mining Company, as well as
| certain private individuals. And whereas
such proceedings are, in the opinion Of this
| convention, unwarranted, both in law and
| in fact, and will result in the almost, IL not
| total, destruction of the mining industry Of
| Eastern Nevada, and will also result in de-
| priving many of our citizens of the oppor-
tunity Of earning IN honest livelihood.
| Therefore be it
Resolved, That the Republicans of Eu.
reka county, in convention assembled, do
most earnestly condemn such contemplated
action upon the part Of the Democratic
| party, as being a gross violation Of the i'm
munities and rights granted to all the pso-
pie concerning the public lands, and We
call upon all good citizens to assist, In
placing the seal Of condemnation upon such
threatened action upon the part Of q Dem
ocratic President and his subordinates.
Resolved, That we, the representatives
Of the Republican party of Eureka county,
refer with feelings of honest pride, to the
distinguished ability, industry and strict
fidelity to the interests Of the people of
this State, displayed by our Senators and
Doareeapkotsua - Nonnraaa and aanaota1lu
TO their u~ntiring efforts to resist the at
tempts being made Upon the part Of the
Government to demonetize silver and TO
prosecute our citizens for obtaining scrubby
fire wood upon the public lands, for mining
and domestic purposes.
