their social and financial condition, ana
pledge ourselves to assist them by. every
means within our power to accomplish these
ends.
We acknowledge the great debt Of graft
tude the nation owes to the heroes Of the late
war, and we declare in favor of just, liberal
and suitable pension laws.
We declare in favor of minority representa-

Quoting the affairs of the territorial govern
ment. That party has always held executive
control of the law-making power OF the ter
ritory. Our bonded indebtedness has been

revenue has exceeded $500, 900 per annum,

Union with deficiency in its funds of near
~ SZOUOOO, contracted under the present
Republican misrule; this deficiency is over
the limit of Indebtedness allowed by the state
constitution. The swarm of clerks employed
ber OF the members of both houses, and this
extravaganza and the unnecessary appro-
prlations were made without due 1nvestlga-
ton as to the actual needs Of the territory
and over the veto of a Democratic governor.
