vent such encroachments of organized
capital as imperil the prosperity of the
people.
CHINESE.
We congratulate our Representatives
in Congress and rejoice with the people
that the incoming horde of Asiatic serfs
has been driven back from American
soil by the passage Of the Scott Exclu-
sion Act. After long years of Republi-
cnn apathy and opposition it was re-
served for the Democratic Party to af-
ford relief to American workmen and
American homes by locking the gates of
our shores against Coolie immigration,
and throwing away the keys.
PENSIONS.
We are gratified to record the fact
that while carefully guarding against
imposition and fraud, the present adj
minis'rrtion has poured out more of the
National treasure for pensions and
bounties to the defenders of the Union
than was ever expended during ON
equal period in the history of the Re-
public.
STORAGE AND UTILIZATION OF WATERS.
We regard the question Of storage of
waters in tina arid regions, and their
distribution and utilization for irriga-
ton, mining, milling and other benef-
cial purposes, as of immediate and
paramount importance; and we urge
our Representatives in Congress to be
earnest and diligent in furthering every
effort looking to the reclamation of her
deserts aud the redemption of millions
OF acres Of the most fertile and fruitful
lands on the earth.
COUNTY BOUNDARY.
We are satisfied with the territorial
extent and limits of Elko county, and
are opposed to any enoroao hments up
on or additions to its boundary lines;
We want no more and will be content
with no less; and we hereby instruct
our representatives in the Nevada
Legislature uncompromisingly to resist
any effort at annexation or division.
CLEVELAND AND THURMAN.
In President Cleveland we recognize
a wise, conservative and patriotic exc
cutive, to whom "a public Office is a
public trust" The purity, the y dignity
and the answering honesty Of his I'D
challenges our sincerest
admiration. and we rejoice in the belief
that vast majority of the people recog-
nize the necessity Of his reelection as
the chief magistrate OF this Republic.
With q lively appreciation OF the
necessity of placing upon the ticket as a
candidate for the Vice. Presidency a
man of uudoubted ability and unswerv-
ing integrity, the st Louis Convention
deserves and receives the hearty APP
provNl Of the Democracy Of the Nation
in the selection of Allen G. Thurman;
n man whose ability as O statesman,
"uOoo "IbuOm IN counselor ana
whose character a. citizen is second
to none in all this broad land; oil of
which render him eminently qualified to
occupy the highest position within the
gift of the American people.
GEORGE W. CASSIDY.
This State needs intelligent and efi-
cient service in the National House Of
Representatives. Nevada cannot afford
to speculate and experiment with new
and untried men. The exper:en oe,
achievements and record Of George w.
Cassidy justify our confidence in his
return to Congress-, of which he has
been 80 able member, without regard
party ties or affiliations.
WILLIAM n. sEAwELL.
In William M. Seawell We see re.
fiected absolute integrity, impartial JUS
tioe anil ripe experience; and for the as
,ertaiument of his judicial learning we
point to his record while upon the
bench. Fully understanding what is
required Of Supreme Judge We un-
hesitatingly pledge him our earnest and
