lseSolved: That transportation facilities are
oul open doors for commerce aud civilization to
go iortn on their march Of progress. The re-
cent TRIP around Cape Horn OF that magnificent
Dattle-sh1p, tho Oregon, has clearly shown the

lleve That fairness requires that the question

ml.t''d to the people OF the State for their de-
cision.

anu devotion to, the great Republican princi-
pies OF bi-metallism. protection and reciprocity.
we are nfmly convinced that the final adjust
ment OF the money question must come by and
through the Repl6lican party; The party is
piedged TO bi-metallism. We therefore declare
that the settlement OF this important question
may safely be left to the great Republican
party vi the Nation.

uniformity OF legislation between the States
upon the subjects OF marriage and divorce, ex-
tradition, and the execution and acknowledge
mrnt Of conveyances, and recommend the en-
actment OF such laws by our legislature as are
best calculated to secure IL.

favor OIL ONE rule for the State of Nevada.

agemeni OF the present State Administration OF
the State Institutions, namely the Orphans

And we hereby centurc the action OF the Cover
nor fer Ids 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
the investment of capital beyond the means OF
private enterprise. We therefore urge upOn
our representatives the necessity of aid
from Congress- aud pledge our best efforts to
secure the construction OF q system of storage
reservoirs by the general government.
