 PLATFORM.
 Tbe Republican Party of Gila County. in convention assembled, heartily en- dorse the platform ss adopted by the NatOnal Republican Convention at ChI- cAgo, aud do hereby sfiism their allegi- sDce to the principles therein prOmul- gated.
 Believing that the indications are most favorable tO the election of Hsrri- son and Morton, the Republican nOmi- uees for President and vice-President, ard recognizing how Im m2Ortsnt, for the welfare Ot the Territory of Arizona it IS that our delegate to congress be in accord politically with the National Ad- miuistratiOn. We therefore appeal to the Republican vOt IFS of Gils county to cast their ballots for the Republican nominee for delegate to congress.
 Ina: We ask that the office of Super lntendent Of Pubiic Instruction be abol- ished, believing that It IS 6 supertuous office. thereby saving to the Territorial School FuLd the sum of S25O0 per an pum.
 That we also ask that the office of Commissioner of Immigration be sbol- ished, which will save like amount of the funds of the Territory.
 That we ask for a careful revision of the laws of QUE Territory. eliminating therefrom all contradictions end ambi- guities, thereby securing to US simpler and more cOmprehensib!e code of laws. That we ask that the Ofise of County Superintendent of Public Schools be abolished. and the duties of said office transferred 10 the Board of Supervisors, thereby saving to the County School Fund the sum Ot $50 per anDum.
 Ina, We point with pride t0 the eco nOmical and wiss administration of cur county affairs under Republican rule heretofore, and pledge our party to @ reinAugurgtio3 Ofth same sound pollcy
