Arizona weekly citizen., 1886-10-30

| States and several foreign governments, | notably with Mexico, our sister republic. l
 It has appointed men to office for polit-
 ical subserviency and removed
 worthy officials whose records
 have shel lustre upon the gov ernment they so faithfully served.
 It has insulted the patriotic feeling of
 the people by it's action on the the pen
 sion laws and by it's systematic efforts 10
 belitlle the patriotic services ot our sol dlers and seamen; 1t has shown an utter disregard for the wants of the people
 and by its vRcillsting and coSsrdly pol icy has failed to provide those laws which the universal voice of the people demands.
 That while the democratic platform of
 1884 lsuded the soldiers and sailors of
 the late war. and while said democratic
 party professed to appreciate those pa
 triOtIc services, the democratic presl- dent elected upon said platform, true to | democratic duplicity, has persistently
 labored to nullify in practice the pstrio-
 tic theories advanced in ssId platform We also record our earnest protest | sgaInst the removal of Union soldiers
 and reputable Republicans from office simply to make room for partisan evil
 ians and e1-cOnfederates. We believe in 0 judicious tariff law that
 will alike protect the lsborer and the
 manufacturer; protection tO the Amer 1 icsn voter; protection to the American taxpayer; protection tO American com
 msrce and ship building, and last, but l
 not least, prott ctiOn to American citi- | zens at home or abroad, on the high
 seas or in any foreign land. Resolve,i, That all citizens of the | !

 Resolved, That the GiSn'.y Of labor l ! should be maintained and that the imm l igration Of COOiies to compete with the | intelligent white lsborers of our land I IS degrading to their manhood and 0 blot upon the civilization of the age. We therefore demand the repeal Ot the I Burlingame Treaty.
 Resolved, That the action of the | present administration upon the silver question is destructive of one of the | greatest industries of the land; and the | attitude of the President ID hIs grovell- ing subserviencY to the dictates of Wall | street is disgrsceful commentary upon democratic independence and executive dignity.
 Resolved, That We condemn in un- measured terms the action of the Dem ocrstlc congress in refusing to admit Dakota as a state; that such action Is ID plain violation of tine spirit and letter of the constitution, an outrage upon constitutional freedom and subVersive of the rights of the people.

 Resolved, That General Miles is en- titled to our wsrmest gratitude and re- spect for his sterling efforts to subdue the Apsches. and the magnificent success of his srduous campaign is but the re- suit of that calm judgment and military skill which are characteristic of the true soldier; that Captain Lawton, Lieut. GatewoOd and their gallant com msnd. through whose untiring efforts the Apache war was brought to successful termination, have displayed heroism and restless zeal which stamp them as model soldiers of determination and devotion to duty, and entities them to our eternal grsti- ude.
 Resolved, That the Society of Arizona Pioneers is entitled to the chief credit for agitsting the Indian question, until the government was compelled to Ac- quiesce in the universal desire of people of Arizona as expressed through said society, and that our thanks are hereby extended to the Society of Pio- neers for the energy and persistence which has brought peace to our terri tory.
