The Arizona champion., 1886-10-02
REPUBLICAN TERRITORIAL PLAT,
 FORM,

We invite the attention of our readers to it and ask that each ard every one irrespective of politics will give the same careful perusal.
 The Republican party of the Ter ritory of Arizona, in convention as- sembled, reaffirms Its devotion to those grand principles of government which have elevated our nation to its present exalted position.
 We renew our fealty to that party which pre- served us as nation, es- abolished equality before the law, built up all the great industries which have added wealth to our exchequer and honor to the American name, and maintained the national supremacy on land and sea.
 We point with pride to the record of the Republican party. party which seized the reins of the govern ment when the nation was in the throes of political dissolution, which restored the national authority and rebuilt with herculean energy the national credit, We point with pride to the fact that the Republican party upon its accession to power received the government of the nation in J distracted condition, torn by dis sensions and prey to conspiracies and factions, that at the end of 25 years 1t turned over the government to it's democratic successors with the "old flag still there," not star dimmed nor stripe erased, with the Union restored and financial credit unimpaired, an overhowing treasury and the public credit higher than that of any nation on earth, with con- fidence in our ability fully restored, the national escutcheon untarnished and the American name the synonym of patriotic virtue.
 | We condemn the administration of Grover Cleveland as being false to its pledges, and hypocritical in its deal ings. It has failed to keep its sacred pledge of civil service reform and upon which the President secured his election; it has been false to its friends, its enemies, and false to itselt; it has disgraced the national name by the character of its ap- pointees in the diplomatic service, and has disturbed the friendly rela- tions heretofore existing between the United States and several foreign governments, notably with Mexico, our sister republic. It has appointed men to office for political subserviency and removed worthy officials whose records have shed lustre upon the government they So faithfully served, It has insulted the patriotic feeling of the people by its action on the pen. sion laws and by its systematic efforts to belittle the patriotic services of our soldiers and seamen; it has shown an utter disregard for the wants oi the people and its vacillatipg and cowardly policy has failed to provide those laws which the universal voice Of the people demands.
 That while the Democratic plat. form of 1884 lauded the soldiers and sailors of the late war, and while said Democratic party professed to ap. preciate those patriotic services, the 1 Democratic President elected upon said platform, true to Democratic duplicity, has .persistently labored to nullify in practice the patriotic theories advanced in said platform.
 We also record our earnest protes' against the removal of Union oldiers and reputable Republicans from office simply to make room for partisan civilians and ex-confederates.
 Resolved, That all citizens of the United States are political equals and equally entitled to the pr otection o it's laws; that we are unalterably op. posed to the immigration of all persons not in sympathy with our in tstitutiona and inimical to our political system.
 | Resolved, That the dignity O labor should be maintained and that the immigration of Coolies to com pete with the intelligent white laboreri of our land is degrading to their man hood and a blot uqon the civilization of the cge. We therefore demand the repeal oi the Burlingane Treaty,
 Resolved, That the action of tho present administration on the silver question is destructive of one of tho greatest industries of the land, and the attitude of the President in hi:
