 G. The history of the Mor mon church in the United States means au ecclesi. a-iical control that has ever been ag. gressive. exacting ard ty rannical aud hose boast has ever bsen that the NJ MprpiOn church aud people do not and will not assimila;e wI;b the peop'e of our country whose dominating tenet IS polygamy; whose doctrine is to segfe- gate Its IeOple from ali others in their affairs; V ho vote as one man under the dic,Eiion of its priesthood and only for those Hho can be used for its base purposes; that as a people they are un- American opd disioyai. and that for less reasons than these the Chinese have been refused citizenship and are excluded from our eouGtry; that the Mormon element in our Inidst is con stauily increasing; that the evil of their lives IS blot upon tue good name and fair fame of our Territory, al d that If we allow this vice to con tinus we can hope 10 harvest from it only evil; and. therefore,
 We. the Republicans of Arizona, in convention assembled. do hereby d, maEd of Congress that before 1t ad lourBs ii shall pass the bill now pend ing before 1t. known ss an Act for the "Pur.ficstion of Elections iu Arizona {" '. We urge upon Congress the i'm mediate necessity of remedial legisla- rion toward relieving the settlers upon the public domain Tn this Territory from the detrimental effects of the operation of the provisions of the Arid Land bill of October ?, 1888
 That the travel and traffic of our p-opis in the Territory demand the attention and favorable action of Con- gress m facilitating legislative aid for Ihe construction of q north aud south railroad. so that onr growing sgrieul turaI aud mining interests shall have those advantages of transportation commensurate with our ever increasing and active industries.

 To Taxation for Territorial, county and munIcipai purpo es should not be predica;ed upon a principle of furnish ing a living for public officials who seek office. but should be restricted absolutely to just compensation for actual services rendered, and He sin cerely dsprecste and shall resist the growing tendency of our Territory to increase inc burdens of the tax payers beyond fhe actual necessity of pro- viding for a fair remuneration for honest and efficient public servants. and we besAeve it 10 be the duty of the Republican, party to address itself forthwith to diminishing taxation by ruuipe on all needless offices and re ,iucing public expenditures 10 the low sst point consistent with an ht nest and -iIicient administration of Ihe laws. II. The principles of Republicanisp require ibe party to foster and encour age every industry which tends to give vitality aud prosperity 10 tie whole Territory by wise. iudieious leg .sla
 lion, whereby the Intere sts of labor Ina capital shall be equally protected. F. The dcfalcaiiOus which have arisen in this Territory in the account. of the Democratic officials appointed to office under Democratic rule should inspire he people of the Territory with graves. caution in az ain entrus;
 ing the powers of the government te nfiioials elected or appointed by the Democratic party or its rulers. and we direct the attention of the tax payers and the people st large to the deficit of SJ. .IOO in tue account of the Demo- cratic Commissioners of the Territorial prison; to the large unudias'ed balance due f. the Territory from tue late Sec retary Bayard in the administration of his office; and te tue appalling def cheney in the accounts of Fred ". Smith. late Receiver in the United Slate, Land Office. at Tucson, and to ihe serious injuries and embarrass- meuts resulting therefron 10 the set- tiers upon our public lands.
