The Bocrs-We extend ~ the brave |
Doors of South Africa, our sympathy and
fer tho right Of self-Eo vernmeut. and we
are ':ralt. rably opposed 20 any alliance,
o;.ar or covert, between the United States
and aay other nation, which will tend t. |
the destruction or abridgement ofhuman
liberty.
Porto Rico-The Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, the Constitution and the Flag
are one and iuseparable. The island Of
Porto Rico is q part Of the United States,
and placing upon it tho 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, aud 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
seperable.
Lotteries aud Prize Fighting-We re-
ject the proposed constitutional amend
mont removing the prohibition as to lot
teries. We also favor the repeal of tho
statute licensing prizs fighting in Ne
vada and pledge our legislative Nominees
to vote in accordance with the letter and
spiri; of beth "t the sections sf this resd-
luton
Labor-We believe in the regulation Of
the hours of labor Ivy the State.and that q
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-
lature to the passage of an eigh,-hour
law, applicable to all labor in miues,
mills, srnelters and other works for re-
ducing or refining ores, and to extend
such law to other classes of labor to
AI,r - IL ~~,l
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-
comnlenGation to the Legislature from
time to time az to appropriate legislation.
| Water Storage-We believe that water
storage for aril lands should he rccog-
nizad by the genera! government as q
part of it's internal improvement system,
| and that liberal appropriations should be
made for that purpose, and we call at
teution to the specific declartiOn in this
behalf in tho 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,
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
Qt0n iva thu fu 0f al mi oir
ing the excellence Of our public schools
and We are opposed to any Legislation
which will deminish or improperly d.
vert the income of our schools
Interstate COmmerce--Wcd demand such
legislation as will protect individu als 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 Sfowart's Defection-We con
graduate the bi-netalists Of Nevada up
on being rid OF An impostOr, who hal
practicea upon their rredulity for the las
twelve years. We alluds to Senator Will
liam NJ. Stewart, who has at last thrown
off the silver pla.ei mask which he 8,
clumsily Wore during three senatorial
campai gns. and now appears in his tru
