Beers of South Africa, our sympathy and
moral sunpert in their patriotic struggle
for the right Of self-Eoyernment. and We
arc unalterably opposed to any alliance,
OPEN or covert, between the United States
and any other nation, which will tend to
tho destruction or abridgenaent Of human
liberty.
Porto Rico-The Declaration Of indie
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
American liberty, and has striven to give
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
seperable.
Lotteries and Prize Fighting-We re-
jet the proposed constitutional amend
ment removing the prohibition as to lot
teries. We also favor the repeal of the
statute licensing prizs fighting in Ne
vada and pledge our legislative nominees
to vote in accordance with the letter and
spirit &c bah ~ tha SECTIONS Of tbis resp
LUTON
Laboi-We believe in the regulation of
the hours OF labor by the State,and that
shortening Of such hours will tend 10 the
material advancement, prosperity, and
happiness Of those who labor. We there
fore pledge our candidates for the Legis-
Iature to the passage of an eighl-hour
law, applicable to all labor in mines,
mills, smelters and other works for re-
duclng 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 a Commissioner of Labor, who
shall collect all statistics relating to labor
in this State. and who shall make re-
COMMUNICATION 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 u
part of it's 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. favcring
an Intelligent system of improving the
arid lands of the West, storing the waters
tor the purposes of irrigation, and tho
holding of such lands for actual settlers.
We believe that the development of the
hcPuUllC WtlHlu Tic ATlu RlOuS, w a

citizenship, far SURPRISING the power and
glory of any empire based on the acQui-
sitiOn of distant countries and the sub
lection of inferior races.
University and Schools-We recognize
the high efficiency aud usefulness Of our
university, and favor legislation which

communities from unjust discrimination
and the public from uni ust and unfair
transportation rates.

passage of a law reasonably limiting the
expenditures of candidates in elections,
and preventing corrupt practices in such
elections.
Senator Stewards DefectiOn-We con-
graduate the bi-m etalists Of Nevada up
on being rid of an iinpostor, VIII" 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 so
ciumsily wore during three senatorial
campaigns, and now appears in his true
character of Republican camp follower
and subservIent tool Of the present gold
standard, imperia!i~tic and trust foster

! We wish our opponents the same un-
aIlOyal joy upon their acquisition that is
experienced by all true silver men in
their radiance of Il traitor, and his con-

and capable legislator, who has beer
