$60,000 for its boot and shoe manufactory, in 

 which occupation the convicts are almost ex- 

 clusively employed. During the two years 

 1881-'82 there have been from this factory 

 $1,995.86 of profits, with about $600 of bad 

 debts. Out of the proceeds from the sales of 

 boots and shoes manufactured at the Nevada 

 Penitentiary within the said two years, the 

 warden has paid into the State Treasury the 

 sum of $55,886.69. 



The Eepublicans of Nevada met in State Con- 

 vention at Reno on September 4th, to nomi- 

 nate their candidates for the several State of- 

 fices, a member of the Lower House of Con- 

 gress, and a Supreme Court Judge, as follow : 



For Governor, Enoch Strother ; Lieutenant- 

 Governor, Charles E. Laughton ; Secretary of 

 State, J. M. Dormer; State Treasurer, George 

 Tufly ; State Comptroller, J. F. Hallock ; State 

 Attorney - General, W. H. Davenport ; State 

 Printer, J. C. Harlow; State Superintendent 

 of Public Instruction, C. S. Young; State Sur- 

 veyor-General, Charles S. Preble. For Judge 

 of the Supreme Court, O. R. Leonard ; Clerk 

 of the Supreme Court, Charles F. Bicknell ; 

 member of Congress, C. C. Powning. 



The following, among other resolutions, were 

 adopted : 



Resolved, That we have faith in the prudent and sa- 

 gacious administration of President Arthur, and be- 

 lieve it will result in promoting the best interests of 

 the country. 



Resolved, That the presence in our midst of a ser- 

 vile race of aliens, incapable of assimilation with our 

 institutions, is a perpetual menace to all classes of so- 

 ciety. The reliet extended to our people bv the pas- 

 sage of a law excluding the Chinese by a Republican 

 Congress, and approved by a [Republican President, 

 is a genuine cause of satisfaction. We are in favor of 

 strenuously enforcing the provisions of said law, and 

 we pledge the Eepublican party to labor now and 

 henceforth to secure such further legislation as will 

 permanently exclude the Chinese. 



Resolved, That we recognize the paramount impor- 

 tance of maintaining unimpaired the free public-school 

 system of the State. We shall defend it against sec- 

 tarian, political, or other improper influences, and we 

 favor such additional legislation as the condition and 

 wants of the common schools of the State may require. 

 As free institutions, they should be so conducted as to 

 satisfy poor and rich alike ; and upon this principle 

 we urge the adoption of some system by wnich this 

 State shall furnish the text-books at the lowest pos- 

 sible figure. 



Resolved, That owing to the remote position of Ne- 

 vada from the seaboard, and the entire absence of navi- 

 gable waters and competing lines of railroads to and 

 from commercial centers, we demand from Congress 

 such wholesome and effective legislation as will place 

 our people on terms of equality in respect to trans- 

 portation charges with communities specially favored 

 by railroad monopolies. 



Resolved, That we pledge the Eepublican party of 

 Nevada to such a course of enlightened legislation as 

 will extend to railroad and all other corporations do- 

 ing business in this State the same protection and the 

 same rights before the law as are accorded to individ- 

 ualsno more and no less.
