r''...' az covert, between the United States |
and any other nation. which will tend to |
the destruction or infringement of human I
liberty.
Porto Rico-The Declaration OF InGe-
penience, the Constitution and the Flag i
are one and irseparahle. The island of
Porto Rico is a part of the United States, |
and placing upon it tie 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 its sanction
upon the consent of the governed. and
that representation and taxation are in
sporadic.
Lotteries and Prize Fighting-We re-
ject the proposed constitutional amend
ment removing the prohibition rs to lot
teries. We also favor the repeal of the
statute licensing prize fighting III Ne
vada and pledge our legislative nominees
to vote in accordance with the letter and
spirit of both OF the sections Of this reso-

the hours OF labor by the State,and that
shortening Of such hours will tend TO the
material advancement, prosperity, and

fore pledge our candidates for the Legis-
lature to the passage of an eight-hour
law, applicable to all labor in mines,
mills, sinelters and other works for re-
duclng or refining ores, and to extend
such law to other classes of labor to
which il 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 Il Commissioner of Labor, who
shall collect all statistics relating to labor
in this State, and who shall make re-
commendatioD to the Legislature from
Tune 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 a
part OF its internal Improvement system,
and that liberal appropriations should be
made Tor 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
| Tor 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,
Will build up an empire based on equal
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 and usefulness of our
university, and favor legislation which
will advance its aims and purposes. We
ing the excellence of our public schools
and we are opposed to any legislation
which will deminish or improperly di
vert the income of our schools
Interstate Commerce--We demand such
legislation as will protect individuals and
communities from unjust discrimination
and the public from unjust and unfair
transportation rates.
Corrupt Practices - We demand the
passage of law reasonably limiting the
expenditures of candidates in elections
and preventing corrupt practices in sucl
elections.
Senator Stewards Defection-We con
gidtulate the bi-metalists of Nevada up
on being rid OF an impostor, who ha
practiced upon their credulity for the las
twelve years. We allude TO Senator vii
liam NJ. Stewart, who has at last thrown
OFT the silver plated mask which he 81
clumsily wore during three senatorial
campaigns, and now appears in his tru
character Of Republican camp followe
f and subscrvlent tool Of the present col,
+ standard, imperialistic and trust foster

We wish our opponents the same un
alloyal JOY upon t!i-ir acquisition that i
experienced by Al true silver men il
their radiance OF traitor, and his con
version from pretended friend to al
open, and therefore harmless, enemy.
Our Member in Congress-We recon

: Hon. Francis G. Newlands, an homes
: and capable legislator, who has bee
/ faithful to his trust and devoted to tn
S best interests OF tie people of Nevada

4 The Railroad and Home Rule-Tf
~ Central Pacific Railroad debt havir
y been funded, and tho control of that raj
" road having become vested in the Soutl
70 ern Pacific, we recognize the fact that fl
s. many years transportation in the Sta
will be in the control of the Southel
Pacific system. Whilst we favored n
l. tional legislation by which the Centr
nj Pacific would have been held as an ind
II pendent line according to it's origin
IF purpose, we realize that recent even
+ have rendered this hope impossible, ar
10 that the development Of this State wi
n mainly depend upon liberal policy ar
tc wise management of the Southern Pacif
IN system. We invite the cooperation
to the management of the Southern Pacif
70 in the building up of the commonwealt
al the development of it's resources, the i
ir creas of its population and in the &c
as nOmic advancement and beneficial go
IN ernmet of the State. We suggest the a
IS. pointment Of a general manager or age
IN in this State, trained in the science
tn railroading, and whose residence he
will bring him in touch with the publ
spirited citizens of the comnlcnw eall
n with its varied indust ries and enterpris
OF and with the needs and requirements
