tennis the foundation OF hatinIeligenee neeos.
sary TO preserve Us u free Nation. 1t is only
saIe basis Of popular sufIiage. No schools

The poorest family in tire State are placed on al

DOTS AS q means OF attaining this standard of
Intelligence aud of extending ghe ADVANTAGES of
popular education we Recommend that text
DOCKS be furnished free to ali the pupils en-
rolled in the free schools of the Slate. We

hesolved: That Nevada possesses rich,
varied and abundant resources Of soil, water,
minerals and climate. Concerted effort should
De made to set forth the many advantages and
opportunities that exist within her borders for
me investment Of capital. We, therefore, are
IN IaVor OF promotfng by legislative enactments,
ana otherwise, all legitimate enterprises for
Inc advertisement, development and upbuild-
mt OF The interests of our State, and to that
END we Will use our best endeavors and SO
pledge our candidates.
Resolved: That transportation facilities are
out open doors for commerce and civilization to
20 lortn on their march OF progress. The re-
cent trip around Cape Horn OF that magnificent
Dattle-ship, the Oregon, has clearly shown the
value and 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
tne resources OF the whole Pacific Coast and
cannot fail to benefit Nevada by bringing about
2 wholesome competition with the present
trans,continental railways. For these reasons
as well for purposes of National defense, we
demand the immediate construction OF this
canal as OF the highest Importance to the Amerf-
can people.

mindful OF the rights and interests Of women.
IN It's National platform 1t so declares and
favors the admission of women to wider spheres
OF usefulness. We, the Republicans ofNevada,
are In hearty accord with these views and be-
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-
cisi0n.
Resolved: That we reiterate our feith 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
Resolved: That we favor the promotion of a
uniformity OF legislation between the States
upon the subjects OF marriage and divorce, ex-
tradition, and the execution and acknowledge
ment OF conveyances, and m the en-
actment OF such laws by our Legislature as are
best calculated to secure il.
Resolved: That we are unequilhedly in
favor of home rule for the State'o of Nevada.

agement OF the present State Administration Of
Home and the hospital OF Mental Diseases.
And we hereby centure the action OF the Cover
nor fer his open hostility to our State Universe
ty.
Resolved: 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
the investment Of capital beyond the means of
private enterprise. We therefore urge upon
our representatives the necessity Of aid
from Congress and pledge our best efforts to
secure the construction OF a system OF storage
reservoirs by the general government.
