The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1900-11-02

We favor the lawful of silver, n
money, in all manners compatible with the
best interests of our government and we here.
by pledge our nominee for Congress, in the
event of his election. to exercise his best en-
deavors to secure the greatest possible use of
silver beneficial TO the mining States OF this
Union, without endangering the financial
safety of our country.
DEMOCRATIC TRUSTS.
We condemn the existence of all combina-
tions of capital known as trusts, which seek
to control the production and the markets of
commodities and act hurtful to the people AT
large. We characterize the vote of almost the
entire body Of ofDemocratic Congressman in the
late sessions of Congress in opposing pro-
posed Constitutional amendment comforting
full power upon Congress to regulate and con-
troll trusts as a gross betrayal OF popular
rights and as protection TO the colossal Dem
ocratic trusts of the city of New York.
DIsFRAScHIsEMENT OF AMERICAN CITIZENS.
We unqualitiedly denounce the Demo
cratic overthrow of the fifteenth amendment
of the Constitution of the United States in
several of the Southern States in the dsfran-
chsement of almost the entire colored race in
these states by means Of artful state Consttu-
tional amendments and legislation. We de-
mand that our nominee for Congress. in the
event of his election, shall support such Con-
gressonal enactments as will reduce the basis
of ofrepresentation in Congress OF all such States
proportional to the number which disfran-
chsed citizens over the age of twenty -one
years bears to the total number of citizens of
that age.
THE LOTTERY.
We reject the proposed amendment TO the
Constitution of Nevada authorizing a lottery
as being an attempt to disgrace our State in
the sight of the enlightened world and we
recommend to the various Republican County
Conventions that they pledge their legislative
nominees to vote against the adoption of the
proposed amendment
PRIZE FIGHTING.
We regard the act upon our statute books
legalizing prize fighting as a stigma upon the
fair name of our State and we urge that the
Republican County Conventions pledge their
legislative nominees to vote for its repeal.
CORRUPT PRACTICES.
We condemn the repeal of the "Purity of
Elections laws and demand the passage of
an act reasonably limiting the expenditure of
candidates and prohibiting corrupt practices
during political campaigns and at the polls.
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
We favor all such amendments to the Inter
state Commerce Law as will render the same
thoroughly efficient and win carry into effect
the spirit and the intent of the original act
EIGHT HOURS A DAY.
We declare ourselves in favor of am eight
hour work day on all public works. where the
State, County or Municipality pays for the
labor, and in all mines, smelters, mills and all
other institutions for the reduction or refin-
ing of ores or metals. and we pledge our nom
nees for the Legislature to work for a law
embodying that principle.
FOSTERING PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Republican Party recognizes that the
public schools of this State are OF fundamental
importance to its welfare and progress. To
maintain them in their greatest efficiency and
usefulness is an imperative duty. We there
fore favor such well-considered legislation as
may be necessary to promote to these ends
and are opposed to any plan by which the
income of the General school Fund may be
decreased.
TREAT POOR AND RICH ALIKE.
We declare our opposition to all measures
proposing the leasing Of the public domain as
tending to deprive men of limited means
from an employment of equal opportunities
with wealthy syndicates and corporations.
POLITICAL REWARDS.
We condemn the present State Administra-
tion for its profigaey in creating useless of
fees with which to reward its supporters.
NEVADA FOR NEvADANs.
We again earnestly contend that all public
offices appertaining 70 Nevada, and all ap
pointive positions accredited to our State
should be filled only by the actual residents
OF Nevada. We demand that the gates 10 hon.
