control public business and money : will sacrifice the best interests of tn l people, disregard its pledges, and, a . is fully flu. trat9d in it's platform will not put to the test of poplili,
 approval, by plain and straightfol
 ward statementslis views npon issue directly affecting he welfare of tn , Territory. We arraign our presen
 delegate Tn Congress for his iihctiy
 ity, incompctencys and his entire fail
 ure to obtain the passage of any
 measures for our benefit.
 ReSolced, That we hold to tho
 great principle of equal and exac
 ju ,tice Io all, and that railroads and
 other corporations are subject to tho
 people through the legislature and
 are amenable to law
 This convention favors any and all
 measures that will tend to bring labor and capital, organized or morgan ' ized, info Arizona. Equality before
 the law is the fundamental i principle Of the Republican party
 of the nation and we pie lge the
 Republican party 10 such d course
 of legislation as will extend
 to corporations and corporate capital
 in Arizona the same protection and | the same laws accorded to indivi- ] duals, no more and no less, requiring
 corporations as well as individuals 10 perform their just share of the la-
 Dor, and to pay their just share of the taxation we pay to carry on the go : ernment, making the same rules ap- ply to corporations as to in'livid ials
 Resolced, That the Rcbupiean party in conformity with its record and traditions declares in favor of fostering and maintaining free public | schools in every town and precinct in the Territory
 Resolred, That in our opinion there is too much money appropriated annually for the support of hostile Indians to permit of q speedy and just settlement of the veXcd question and we believe that tIibe cf hostile savages should not be kept in our midst, fed and supported out of the public treasury, and we earnestly re- commend that the safety and protec-  ton of the frontier settlers be made the first object in all legislation af- fecting the Indians. We are in favor of the disarmament of all Indians of hostile tribes in this Territory as in dispensablc to the safety of our people.
 Resolred, We welcome all for eigners-Chinese only excepted who in good faith come and settle amongst us, and guarantee to them the same equal rights which are now enjoyed by naiive-born Americans, and we further declare that we are unalterably opposed to Chinese i'm portation or immigration.
 PesOlced, That just compensation should be paid to all public ser wants for their services, and tha they be held to strict accountabil- ity; that the present fee system, while perhaps not being suflici ent in some minor offices to induce com potent persons to accept such posi- ions, in other cases secures to county officers an eXtrava gant and unreason- ible amount for such services. The fees for such officers Tn such cases should be reduced. or the amount so 'eceived in excess of reasonable com for such services should be laid into the treasuries of the several counties where such conditions ob- ain.
 Reso'ucd, We favor a rcorsaniza- ion of our courts by Congress to he end that litigation may be less ned and made cheaper, that the aw delays may not amount to q de ial of justIce and that DO judge hall sit in an appellate court in judgment upon cause q cidcd by i'm in a lower court.
 ResolUed, That we recognize the act that gold, silver and copper inning is the chief source of wealth l the Territory, and we therefore emand the fullest protection for lis our greatest industry, and that I legislation, Territorial and Fede- Il, upon this subject be so directed T ; to discourage mining Ii igation, nder mining titles more secure M Id foster and encourage the devel- 1ment of our mineral resources to e fullest extent ResOlued, We declare ourselves in b, vor of the free and unlimited p p' image of silver upon the same rms and under the same. regula- - 'ns as is gold, and pledge ourselves at, if elected, onr candidate for elegate will exert himself t. the d that both gold and silver will be fly and equally recognized, ac- m rding to their respective values, as Es Q money of the country. e'
