property greatly enhanced In value and its
rate of taxation materially lowered, and so
believing we pledge our nominee for Con
gress, in the event of his election. TO dili-
gently cooperate with the Congressman from
the arid states in seeking to obtain "a liberal
allowance in the general appropriation bill
for the storage and distribution of water un-
der the supervision and control of the States
and Territories affected.
LARGEST USE OF SILVER.
We favor the lawful use of silver, as a
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 ofDemocratic Congressman in the
posed Constitutional amendment comforting
full power upon Congress TO regulate and con-
troll trusts as a gross betrayal of popular
rights and as a protection to the colossal DEM
ocratic trusts of the city of New York.
DIsFRANCHIsENENr OF AMERICAN CITIZENS.
We unqualihed!y denounce the Demo-
cratic overthrow of the fifteenth amendment
of the Constitution of the United States In
chisement of almost the entire colored race IN
these states by means of artful state Constitu-
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 representation in Congress of all such States
proportional TO the number which disfran-
chised 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 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 stigma upon the
fair name OF our State and we urge that TIN,
Republican County Conventions pledge theil
legislative nominees to vote for its repeal.
CORRUPT PRACTICES.
! We condemn the repeal of the "Purity o
Elections laws and demand the passage o
an act reasonably limiting the expenditure o
candidates and prohibiting corrupt practice,
during political campaigns and at the polls,
INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
We favor all such amendments to the Inter
state Commerce Law as will render the sam'
thoroughly efficient and will carry into effec
the spirit and the intent of the original act
EIGHT HOURS A DAY.
We declare ourselves in favor of an egh
hour work day ON all public works, where tn
State, County or Municipality pays for tn
labor, and in all mines, smelters, mills and al
other institutions for the reduction or rein
ing of ores or metals. and we pledge our nom
inees for the Legislature to work for a law
embodying that principle.
FOSTERING PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Republican Party recognizes that tn
public schools of this State are of fundamental
importance to its welfare and progress. II
maintain them in their greatest efficiency an
usefulness is an imperative duty. We there
fore favor such wel-considered legislation a
may be necessary to promote To these end
and are opposed to any plan by which tn
income of the General School Fund may b
decreased.
| TREAT POOR AND RICH ALIKE.
We declare our opposition to all measure
proposing the leasing of the public domain a
tending TO deprive men of limited mean
from an employment of equal opportunitie
with wealthy syndicates and corporations.
POLITICAL REWARDS.
! We condemn the present State Administra
tion for its profgaey in creating useless OF
fees with which to reward its supporters.
! NEVADA FOR NEvADANs.
We again earnestly contend that all publ
offices appertaining TO Nevada, and all al
pointive positions accredited To our State
should be flled only by theactual resident
| of Nevada. We demand that the gales 10 hon
orable political preferment shall not be CLOSED
| to the people whose hearihs and homes II
truth are inseparable parts of our State il
order to crafty the political ambition of non
resident men of affiuence. We assert tina
Nevada can be best represented in the hall
of national legislation by men, who, when no
engaged in the discharge Of their tdiicia
duties will associate with our people III thei
various walks of life and will study the ne
cesslties and the conditions Of our state witt
the object of benefitting the people We cal
upon the fathers of our land to assist us Ii
shaking OF the incubus of nonresident rep

youth of Nevada 10 assert their manhood a
