WHEREAS, The questions now before
the people are Of such vital Importance
that it becomes the duty OF every citizen
to array himself on the side which seeks
to honor the greatness OF his country !;
therefore be it
Resolved, BY the Republicans OF Ari-
zona, In convention assembled, that We
hereby renew our sllegiance to the Re-
publican organization of the party Of
equal rights and exact justice to ali men,
the party that places principles above
men, and the one which has record Of
which every American should be proud.
Resolved, That the record OF the present
Democratic administration has been such
as TO deserve the condemnation Of al!
thinking and right minded men. It's
pledges have been disregarded in the
matter Of Territorial appointments; Its
antagonism to silver and the obstacles
thrown in the way OF the honest settler
upon the public lands have been such as
W NOoSaSc VIC anu SohtShpS vi
every citizen. Corruption has been openly
charged against the Territorial govern
ment, and the demand for a change
should not be disregarded.
Resolved, That the principle Of pro-
lection to American industries, and the
encouragement, development and pros
Fperity OF the great manufacturing, mining
and agricultural resources Of cur republic
by wise system Of custom duties on i'm
portations can be safely entrusted alone
TO the Republican party; that We view
with alarm the insidious free trade assault
upon American labor and enterprise by
the President in his message to the
Fiftieth Congress, and the Ierils which
now menace the furnaces, foundries,
shops and factories throughout the land
in Mills (pretended) tariff reform bill.
Upon this issue alone We believe the
Democratic party to be unworthy the
confidence Of the American people, and
the controlling majority thereof to be
dangerous enemies to the future material
progress and prosperity Of our republic.
