ar. :,l:s.,, rabiy opposed to any alliance,
s ], or covert, between the United states
and any other nation, which will tend to
the destruction or abridgement-efh human
liberty.
Porto Rico-The Declaration OF Iiide-
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
Il delegate To Congress, the Administra-
ton has violated the Constitution, aban-
doned the fundamental principles of
American liberty, and has striSen to give
tho 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 and Prize Fighting-We re-
ject the proposed constitutional amend
ment removing the prohibition as to lot
teries. We also favor the repeal of the
statute licensing prize fighting in Ne
to vote in accordance with the letter and
spirit of both of the sections of this reso-
luton.
Labor-We believe in the regulation of
the hours Of labor 10y the State,and that q
shortening Of such hours will tend to the
material advancement, prosperity, and
happiness OF these who labor. We there
fore pledge our candidates for the LegiS-
lature to the passage of an eight-hOur
law. applicable to all labor in miues,
mills, s,nelters and other works for re-
ducing or refining ores, and to extend
snch law to other classes Of labor to
which it is applicable, after hearing and
consulting with the representatives of
snch classes, and to provide by law for
a TO t.A1 t.tf fS, of Stofn
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-
commentator to the Legislature from
time to time as Inappropriate legislation.
Water Storage--We believe that water
storage for arid lands should be rccOg-
nized by the general government as a
part of its 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, fayoring
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
will advance its aims and purposes. We
also recognize the necessity of maintain
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 sucf
elections.
Senator Stewards Defection-We con
graduate the binietalists of Nevada up
on being rid of an impostor, who ha.
practiced upon their credulity for the las
twelve years. We allude 10 Senator Will
liam NJ. Stewart, who has at last thrown
off the silver plated mask which he 81
clumsily wore during three senatorial
campaigns, and now appears in his tru'
character of Republican camp followe
and subServlent tool of the present gOlt
standard, imperialstic and trust foster
ing Administration.
We wish our opponents the same un
a1lOyal joy upon t''-ir acquisition that i
experienced by ~ true silver men il
their radiance Of traitor, and his cor
version from q pretended friend to a.
open, and therefore harmless, enemy.
Our Member in Congress-We recon-
