for III" ri hit Of enlightenment, and we
are ri;.i .rably opposed to any alliance,
o-.ts. or covert, between the United States
anu any other nation, which will tend to
the destruction or abridgement Of human |
liberty.
Porto Rico-The Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, the Constitution and the Flag |
are one and inseparable. The island of
Porto Rico is part of the United States,
and placing upon it the burden of certain
duties, as well as by denying its people |
a delegate to Congress, the Administra-
ton has violated the Constitution, aban-
doned the fundamental principles of
the lie to the contention of our fore |
fathers that all men are created equal, |
that government rests for it's sanction |
upon the consent of the governed, and |
that representation and taxation are in
scperable.
Lotteries and Prize Fighting-We re-
ject the proposed constitutional amend

teries. We also favor the repeal of the
statute licensing prize fighting in Ne

to vote in accordance with the letter and
spirit of both Of the sections Of this reso-
luton.
I.abor-N-e believe in the regulation of
the hours of labor by the State.and that a
shortening Of such hours will tend 10 the
naterIa. advancement, prosperity, and
happiness Of those who labor. We there
fore pledge our candidates for the Legis-
ature to the passage of an eight-hour
law, applicable to all labor in mines,
mills, slnelters and other works for re-
ducing or refining ores, and to extend
such law to other classes of labor to
which it is applicable, after hearing and
consulting with the representatives of
such classes, and to provide by law for
adding to the duties of one Of the State
officers, without additional salary. the
duty of IA Commissioner of Labor, who
shall collect all statistics relating to labor
in this State, and who shall make re-
commentator to the Legislature from
time to time as to appropriate legislation.
Water Storage-We believe that water
storage for arid lands should be recOg
nized by the general government as
part of its internal improvement system,
and that liberal appropriations should be
made for that purpose, and we call at
tention to the specific declartion in this
behalf in the national platform, favoring
an intelligent system of improving the
arid lands of the West, storing the waters
for the purposes of irrigation. and the
holding of such lands tor actual settlers.
We believe that the development of the
Republic within the arid regions, by a
proper system of internal Improvement,

legislation as will protect individuals and
communities from unjust discrimination
and the public from unjust and unfair
transportation rates.

and preventing corrupt practices in such
elections.
Senator Stewards Defection-We con-
graduate the bi-metalists of Nevada up
on being rid of All impostor, who has
practiced upon their credulity for the last
twelve years. We allude to Senator Will
liam NJ. Stewart, who has at last thrown
off the silver plated mask which he sc
clumsily wore during three senatorial
campaigns, and now appears in his true
character of Republican camp follower
r and subservlent tool of the present gold
standard, imperalistic and trust foster
ing Administration.
We wish our opponents the same un
alloyal joy upon ih"ir acquisition that il
experienced by .,l true silver men il
their radiance of traitor, and his con
