PLATFORM OF PRINCIPLES
Adopted by the Republican Ter= ritOrial Convention Held in TucSOn september
 2Cth, 1886.

The Republican party or the Ieirter! or Arizona, in convention assembled, reahirms its GcvotioR 10 tIoSc grand principles of government which have elevated our n: tion to it's present exalted position.
 We renew our iealty to that party which preserved us as a nation, established equal ity before the law, built up all the great industries which have added Vt alth to cur excEequer and hcnor to the American name, and maintained the national suprem- acy on land aud sea.
 We point with pride to tho record of tLc Re -Ll:an party, party which seiz toe t government when the nation was in Lue thrues of political dissolution, which restored the national authority and rebuilt with hrrculean energy the nuiionnl crcdi We point with pride to the fact that the Re publican party upon it's accession to pawcr received the government VI the nation ill distracted condition, tom Dy disscnsions auG 4 prey to conspirgcies and lacliohs, that al the end Of 20 years It turned over the gov ernment to it's Democratic successors with , the ''uld flag still Ihere," not Il star dmned nor stripe eIGsed, with the Union restored ard financial cIedi: unimpaired. sn over. flowing treasury and the public credit higher than shat Ul any nation on earth, uith confidence in our ALiIity fully restored tbe national escutchcom unt.rnished aud | he An ericaR RRms the synon! III of patriotic virtue.
 We condemn the administration of Grover | Cleveland as being false tS it's pledges, and | hypucrllical ia its dealings. It has Siled To keep it's sacred pledge of civil service re- form, and upon which ths President secui cd his election; il has been false 10 Ils friends, | it's enemies, and false to Itscif; Ii has dis | sracSd tue zatiURal name by the character of it's 1ppuinIecs in tho iPlOmatic SerV ce, 1 and has disturbed tho friendly Iela'ions hgretofJre existing between the CEil=d States and several foreign gGTerumcnts, notably with Mexico, our sister republic. It has appoinIed men tO oHec for political SuUaerVisAcy and TeIaUTsd worthy oflicisls whose records have shed lust:e uroh Ina government they so faithfully served IL has insui:ed the patrioiit lceiinS uf lhe poo l pie by it's action on the Lon-Inn laws and I by it's systematic efforts To b.littie thc 1 pair utir GerViols of our toldiers and se"- l men; Il has shown an Ht,er disregard Tor the aantu of Inc people and by its vaeiIla;ins and coNaIdly roliry has faiird to prsrite lbu,e l.ws which the aknersal voice of the p,eI lp .esmahds.
