 W. J. Osborn moved that the reading of the minutes be dispensed with. Carried
 Chairman J. 4. Zsbriskie. of the con- uIttee on platform and resolutions, made the folloEing report:
 The republican party of the Territory of Arizona, in convention assembled, To- 4ffirms its devotion to those grand principles oi government winch have elevated our nation 10 its present ex- alted position.
 We renew our fealty to that party which preserved us Bs B nation, estAb lished equality before the law, built up all the great industries which have add ed wealth to our eXchequer and honor to the American name, and maintained the natl 1Dsl supremacy on land and reA.
 We point with pride to the record Of the republican party, party which selzed the reins of government when the nation was ID the throes of political dIs-olutIun, winch restored the nstlOnal authority and rebuilt with herculesn energy the national resources and re stored the national credit. We point with pride to the fact that the repubh- can party upon its accession to power received the government ot the nation in A distracted condition. torn by oIs- sepsions and prey to conspirscies and factions. that at the end of p years it turned over the government to its dem ocratic successors with the "old flag stilI there" not 8 star dimmed nor stripe erased, with the Union restored and financial credit unimpalred. an over flowing treasury and the public credit higher than that of any nation on earth, with confidence in our ability fully re- stored. the national escutcheon unisr- uIshed and the American name The synonym Of patriotic virtue.
 We condemn the administration of Grover Cleyels es being tslse to it's pledges. and hypOcritical m it's dealiogs. It has failed 10 keep it's sacred pledge or oivll service reform. and upon which the presl- dent secured his electIoD; It has been false to it's friends, Its enemies, ana false 10 itself; it has dIsRraced the ma tional name by the character Of It's sp- poiptees in the diplomatic service, snd has disturbed the friendly relations here, tofore existing between the United States and several foreign governments notably with Mexico. our sister Tepuollc' It has appointed men to office Tor polIt- icsl subserviency and remoVed worthy officials whose records have shed lnstre upon the gov. erpment they so faithfully served: It has insulted the pstrIotlc feeling ot inc people by its action on the the pen sion laws and by its systematic eff lrts to bellttle the patriotic servIces of our sol dlers and seam -n; it has shown an utter di.regard for the wants of the people and by its yRcillatIng and cowsTdiy pol icy has faiied 10 provide those Jaws which the universal voice of the people demands,
 That while the democratic platform Of 1884 landed the soldiers and sailors of the late war, and while said democratic marty professed to appreciate those pa triotlc services, the dem Jcrstic presi- dent elected upon said platform, true to democratic duplicity, has consistently lsbored to nullify in practice the patrio- tic theories advanced Tn sad platform.
 We also record our earnest protest A alnst the removal of Union soldiers and reputable Republicans from office smply to mske room for partisan cIvil- iaps and ex-coniederstes.
 We believe in aiudicious tariff law that will alike protect the laborer and the manufacturer; protection to tbe Amer jean voter; protection to the American tax payer, protection to American com roerce and ship building. and last, but not least, protf ction to Amerosn citi- zeus at home or abroad, on the high seas or in any foreign land
 Resolved, That all citizens of the United States are political equals and equally entitled 10 the protection of its laws: that We are unsiieEsbly opposed ia the immigration of all persons not m sympathy with our institutions and in imical to our political system.
 Resolved, That the dignity of labor should be maintained and that the imm- ieration of COoiies to compete with the intelligent white lsboreKs of our land is degrading to thei: manhood and blot upon the civilization of the age.
