STATE GOVERNMENT.
The contrast between the admins
~trative success Of the Republican party
in national affairs and the humiliatine
history of Democratic ineficieney i
Nevada calls for a change in the po
litical control Of the state. With off
cials habitually absent from the cap
itol, the executive departments of til,
state in Democratic hands are con
Quoted with only haphazard regard t.
the public business. Such absenteeism
is notorious, and coupled with til.
complete o attendance of the Demo
cratic member of congress from his
duties in Washington, condemns thai
party as unworthy the further trus,
of the people. We are entering upo.
a golden era of development and tn,
necessity is urgent to vest the powers
OF state into competent hands. We
p.eage each and every nominee of this
convention for any Office to at all times
when not justitlably excused therefron
remain at his post OF duty, ready ant
prepared to ch%eerfuliy perform all pub
lac services required of him by law ui
by a proper regard for the convenien,

MINES AND MINING.
The great mineral wealth of Nevada
is a treasury of fottune belonging to
rich and poor alike. Every protection
and encouragement should be given
the mining industry that may be ac-
complished by legislation. We favor
ehe passage OF a law extending the
right OF eminent domain for minin,.
purposes 10 apply to locations mad.
upon unfenc,d and un.mproved lands
held in private ownership, the minerals
within which are reserved by the gov,
ernment, that purchase may be made
of the surface thereof by q locator
aft. proper appraisement; and we con-
denim the vetoing of such a law three
years since by a Democratic gov.
ernor of Nevada after it's passage by an
overwhelming vote of the legislature.
We favor conservative legislation tend

sive number Of locations by one or

We further favor the passage Of q
