 HHEREss. peace has now betn re stored aud security establ sued through the military skill snd iadomitable en- ergy of GruerAl Nelson 4. MIles; and
 WHEREAS We who reside ID ArizO0a, Rn bsy- suffsre tor years from the desdl, effect of IUdi4n brutslIties. are siona able to fully spprec ale the terrors from which We have been rcEeved by tbs triu n phsnt success of General Miles and bi- cODmhDd; therefore
 Res ilvei, That the attempt of the secretary ot war and the general of tbe army to bellttle the seIvices of General Miles to the people of ArIzoDs is a re. f1ec;ion upon tbe wise Indian policy Of Pfesidrnt Cleveland, and Bn outrage up on the people of ous te -ritory, for the folio Sing reasons. to-uij:
 First, brcaus the citizeus of Arizons nev T demand-d the lives of the Apache Indians, but Ih-y did seek 10 have these tRvsges removed from the territory, as the ouly guarantee against future stroc- ities.
 Secondly, We nev demanded the un- conditional surrender Of Grrrbiuo, nor the free Of trial by our civil tribunals. btcsuse ve knew 1t would be impossible under the lave nt the territory, to pro cure an impartial jury.
 Thirdly, hecBuse 1t would have been impCs iole 10 have secured sufficient ev- idence, positive or circumst antiRl, to have warranted the conviction O. the Indians; their clnvI 'tiOn therefore it secured would hove been judicial mur- der, deep reprOAch upon the territory. whIle their scquittsl would have result ed 10 a slll more dlssgreeRt l. tragedy, es our peep 1.-the surviving kinsmen of countless victims of Apache fnry- then oo the verge of revolution against ths government of onr country, uonld never have permitted Geronimo and his followers to have been returned to & re servsTion ID our midst, s standing men ace against which We have been battling for years; and
 Finally. we dId not insist upon SD uu- conditional surrender, because it would have required years to have destroyed Gernnimo and bis tribe, Involving an sppsllIng sacrifice of life appalling to sll persons except ibe Secretary Of War. ths General of the Army aud th- horde ot thievinR contractors who grew fat up on the harvest Of death which Geronimo S-E reRplnR ID our homes
 Res LIVED. thst neither malice nor envy ID h'g1 pla es can lessen the glorious schievamsn's ot General Miles, his gal isnt ofi cers and soldiers, nor imperil his claim to the lb~iiog gratitude of our pee pie, Tor the prompt removal of these nende rom our territory, sxtra-ufficial though the act may have been; and we, she citlzens of the frontier, whose wives and children lived ID mo tsl terror of tbeir lives, til General Nils came to the rescue ot our defenseless families. note with pleasnre the fact that the pre- sident of the United S'stes. in bis mes ts9e to Congress. appropriately recog- nises the distinguished services which Gen. Nelson A. Niles has rendered to sh- people of Arizona.
