 all it's activity and energy in promoting the eariy admission of the Territory into the sis,srh9od of States
 6. The history of the Mormon church ID tie United States means an eeelesi sstical ccutrOl tLat has ever been az gres,i'e. exactiHg and fy rguniral aud Sho-e boast has ever b ~.u that the Mor.uou chnrch and peopir do not aud will noI nssimiiate with tbe people of our country whose dominating tenet IS poly gamy; whose doctrine Is to segre- gate its people from all others in their atfsirs; who vote as one man under the die.ation of it's priesthood and only for those who can be used for its base purposes; that as a people they are un- Anne rican 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 stGntly increasing; that the evil of their lives is blot upon the good name and fair fame of our Territory, and that if We allow this vice to con. tinus we can hope 10 harvest from it only evil; aud. therefore,
 We. she Republicans of Arizona, in conyt Dtiun assembled. do hereby ds maad of Congress that before it ad IouTus It shall pass the bIli now pend ing before It. known as an Act for the "Purification of Elections ia Arizona |"
 '. We urge upon Congress the i'm mediate necessity of remedial legisla- tioD toward relieving tine 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 p p-epis in the Territory demand the attention and favorable action of Con gress in facilitating legislative aid for the construction of a north and souih railroad, so that our growing agricul tural and mining interests shall have those advantage of transportation commensurate with our ever increasing and active industries.
 g. The bulwark of American liberties IS our free school system, and the Re- publican party, resting as it does upon the broad intelligence of the people, demands their careful and judicioGs supervision. aud requires liberal legis latiou for the promotion s0d conduct Of our Territorial school system.
 10 Taxation for Territorial, county and municipal purPo -es should not be predicated upon a principle of furnish ing living for public officials who seek office. but should be restricted absolutely to a just compensation for actual services rendered, aud we sin ceTely deprscate and shall resist the growing tendency of our Territory to increase the burdens of the taxpayers beyond the actual necessity of pro viding for 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 iitniDishing taxation by cutting of all needless offices and re ducing public expenditures 10 the low. est point consistent with an honest and efficient sdministra ton of the laws.
 II The principles of Republicanism require inc party 10 foster and eneour age every industry which tends to give vitality and prosperity to the whole Territory by a wise. judicious legis!a- tion, whereby the interests Of labor ana capital shall be equally protected.
 F. 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 entrus'- ing the powers of the government te officials elected or appointed by the .A= direct the attention of the tax payers and the people at large to the deficit of S5, TOO in the account of the Demo- cratic Commissioners of the Territorial prison; to the large unadiusted balance due to the Territory from the late Sec retsry Bsyard in the administration of his office; aud te the appalling def. eiency in the accounts of Fred W. Smith. late Receiver iD the United State Land Office, at Tucson, and 10 the serious injuries and embarrass- menis resulting therefrom to the set. tier upon our public lands.
 13. We as party place our candi- dates before the electors of the TsrTi- tory of Arizona with the fullest belief in their integrity and in their capacity to perform the duties of the oficts fo: which they have been respectively nomipated. and we invoke a fair and impartial judgment from the peo le| upon the principles enunciaied by the party. and not only pledge the party bui the candidates Fs well to persistent effort in successfully establishing the principles hsreih set forth.
