Tombstone daily prospector., 1890-10-09

Republican party of Arizona to exert all its activity and energy in promoting the early admission of the Territory into the sisterbood of States 6. The history of the Mormon church in the United States means an ccelesi- >tical control that bas ever been az gressive, txaetfng and iyTRnnieRl aud hose boast has ever been that the Mormon church and people do not and will not assimilate Nith the people of our country; whose dominating tenet Is ! polygamy; whose doctrine is 10 segre- gate its people from all others in their affairs; who vote as one man under the ! dic,ation Of it's priesthood and only | for those who can be used for it's base purposes; that as a people they are un- American ond disloyal. and that for less reasons than these the Chinese have been refused citizenship and are excluded from our country; that the Mormon element in our midst is con- stantly increasing; that the evil of their lives is a blot upon the good name and fair fame of our Territory. and that if we allow this vice to con tinue we can hope to harvest from it only evil; and. therefore,
 We. the Republicans of Arizona, in convention assembled, do hereby de mand of Congress that before 1t ad- lourns it shall pass the biIl now pend | ing before 1t. known as SD Act for the "Purificstion of Elections in Arizona | .. We urge upon Congress the i'm. mediate necessity of remedial legisla- tioD toward relieving the settlers upon ! the public domain in this Territory | from the detrimental effects of the | operation of the provisions of the Arid Land bill of October 2, 1888
 s That the travel and traffic of our people in the Territory demand the attention and favorable action of Con gress in facilitating legislative aia for | the construction of a north aUd south railroad. so that our growing aRrieul tural and mining interests shall have those advantages of transportation i commensurate with our ever increasing and active industries.
 g. The bulwsrk of American liberties IS our free school system, and the Re- | publican party. resting ss it does upon the broad intelligence of the people, demands their careful and iudieious supervision. and requires Iihersl legis | lation for the promotion aud conduct of our Territorial school system.
 10. Taxation for Territorial. county and municipal purposes should not be predicated upon principle of furnish
 ing living for public officials who seek office, but should be restricted
 absolutely to just compensation for actual services rendered, and we sin cerely deprecate and shall resist the growing tendency of our Territory to increase the burdens of the taxpayers beyond the actual necessity of pro 1 yiding for a fair remuneration for honest and efficient public servants,
 and we believe it to be the duty of the
 Republican party to address itself
 forthwith to diminishing taxation by
 cutting of all needless offices and re.
 ducing public expenditures 10 the low.
 est point consistent with an honest and
 efficient administration of the laws.
 II The principles of Republication
 require the party 10 foster and sncour
 age every industry which tends 10 give
 vitality and prosperity to the whole
 Territory by a wise. judicious legisla-
 ton, whereby the interests of labor
 ana capital shall be equally protected.
 12. The defalcations which have
 arisen in this Territory in the accounts of the Democratic officials appointed
 to office under Democratic rule should
 inspire he people of the Territory
 with gravest caution in again entrnst-
 ing the powers of the government te
 officials elected or appointed by the Democratic party nr its ralers. and VIC
 direct the attention of the tax payers
 and the people at large to the deficit
 of S5, 700 in the account of the Demo
 cratic Commissioners of the Territorial iprisoD; to the large unsdiusted balance
 due to the Territory from the late Sec retary Bayard in the administration oi
 his office; and te the appalling aef'
 ciency in the accounts of Fred W,
 Smith. late Receiver in the United States Land Office. at Tucson, and io the serious injuries and embsrrass.
 ments resulting therefrom to the set tlers upon our public lands
 13. We as a party place our caudi' , dates before the electors of the Terri. . tory of Arizona with the fullest beliei in their integrity and in their capacity
 to perform the duties of the offices for which they have been respectively : nominated. and we invoke 6 fair and
 impartial judgment from the peo ,le |, upon the principles enuneiaied by the party. and not only pledge the party , but the candidates Ps well to persistent effort in successfully establishing ,he principles hereio set forth.
