ten is the I Iundation Of that inteiligcnce neueS-
sary 70 pr serve Us u free Nation. 1t is only
sate basis Of popular snifl "a &c. No schools
howeNe . ate absolutely free til the cIiidren OF
the poOlest family Ia the state are placed on an
equal footing vim their more Wealthy neigu-
Dors AS u Inca 5 OF attaining this standard Of
intelligence aud of extending the Advantages of
p'puiAr education we Recommend that text
BOOKS be furnished free to ali the pupils en-
rolled IN the free schools OF the State. We

nclency and widen its sphere of usefulness.
Resolved: That Nevada possesses rich,
varied aud abundant resources Of soil. water.
minerals and climate. Concerted effort should
De made TO set forth the many advantages and
the investment of capital. We, therefore, are
In FAVOR OF promoting by Legislative enactments,
ana otherwise. all legitimate enterprises for
tne advertisement, development and upbuild-
mi OF the interests OF our State, and to that
END we will use our best endeav0rs and so
pledge our candidates.
resolved: That transportation facilities are
Dut open doors for and civilization to
go forth on their march of progress. The re-
cent trip around Cape Horn OF that magnificent
Dattle-ship. the Oregon, has clearly shown the
vaiue ana necessity OF the construction of the
Nicaragua Canal. Its completion under the
permanent and exclusive control OF our govern
ment will greatly increase the development of
me resources OF the whole Pacific Coast and
cannot fail to benefit Nevada by bringing about
. wholesome competition with the present
trans-continental railways. For these reasons
as well Tor purposes of National defense, we
demand the immediate construction OF this
canal as OF the highest importance 10 the Ameri-
can people.
Resolved: That the Republican party is ever
mindful OF the rights and interests OF women.
In Its National platform 1t so declares and
favors the admission OF women TO wider spheres
OF usefulness. We, the Republicans Of Nevada,
are In hearty accord with these views and be-
1eVe that fairness rauuiraa that the nnaatiOn
whether the women Of Nevada should be grant
ed the right OF suffrage or not, should be sub
mitted to the people OF the State for their de-
cisiOn.
Resolved: That we reiterate our faith in,
and devotion to, the great Republican princi-
pies OF bi-metallism, protection and reciprocity.
We are firmly convinced that the final adjust
ment Of the money question must come by and
through the Republican party. The party is
pledged to bi-metallism. We therefore declare
that the settlement OF this important question
may safely be left to the great Republican
party OF the Nation.
Resolved: That we favor the promotion of o
uniformity Of Legislation between the States
upon the subjects of marriage and divorce, ex-
tradition, and the execution and acknowledge
ment OF co~nveyauces, and the en-
actment OF such laws by our Legislature rs are
best calculated to secure 1t.
Resolv ID: That we are upequilhedly in
favor OIL ONE rule for the State OF Nevada.
Resolved: That we denounce the mis- man
agement Of the present State Administration Of
the State Institutions, namely the Orphans
Home a i'd the hospital of Mental Diseases.
And we hereby centure the action OF the Cover
nor fer his open hostility to our State Universe
ty.
Reso we'd: That without artificial irrigation,
the settlement and cultivation Of millions OF
acres of rich land within our State, are an i'm
possibility. That the only means of supply
ing such irrigation is by the construction OF
storage reservoirs and that this will require
privats enterprise. We therefore urge upon
our representatives the necessity of aid
from Congress and pledge our best efforts to
secure the construction OF u system Of storage
reservoirs by the general government.
