American "Ed disiryai. aud that for
less reasons than these the Chinese
have been refused citizenship and are
excluded from our eouItry; tina; the
Mormon element 10 our midst is con-
stsntly increasing; that the evil Of
their lives IS blot upon the good
name and fair fame of our Territory,
and that II we allow this vice Ia con
tinue We can hope TO harvest from il
only evil; and. therefore,
We. the Republicans of Arizona, in
convention asss m bled. do hereby do
msnd of Congress that before il ad
journs il shall pass the bali nov peud
ing before ii. known as an Aci for fhs
"Puriicstion of Elections in Arizona :"
Z. We urge upon Congress the i'm
mediate necessity of remedial legisla-
ton 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 aid for
the eonstrueiion of north and south
railroad, so that our growing agricul
tural and mining interests shall have
those advantages of transportation
commensurate with our ever increasing
and active industries.

the broad intelligence of the people.
demands their careful and iudicious
supervision. and requires liberal legis-
lation for the promotion and conduct
Of our Territorial school system.
10. Taxation for Territorial. county
and municipal purpo-es 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 10
increase the burdens of the taxpayers
beyond the actual necessity of pro
viding for a fair remuneration for
honest and efficient public servants.
and We believe il to be the duty of the
Republican party TO address itself
forthwith to diminishing taxation by
cutting of all needless Offices aud re-
ducing public expenditures to the low
est point consistent with an honest and
efficient administration Of the laws.
II The principles of Republieanism
require the party to foster and encour
age every industry which tends TO give
vitality and prosperity to the whole
Territory by wise. judicious legisls-
tion, whereby the interests of labor
ana capital shall be equally protected.
IL. The defslcatIoDs 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 gFavest caution IN again entTust-
ing the powers Of the government ts
officials elected or a. pointed by the
Democratic party or It's rulers, and we
direct the attention OF the tax payers
and the people at large 10 the deficit
of S5. 200 in the account OF the Demo
cratic Commissioners of the Territorial
prison;t the large unsdjusted balance
due to the Territory from the late Sec
retsry Bayard in the administration of
his Office; aud te the appalling def
cheney IN the accounts of Fred W.
Smith. late Receiver in the United
State Land Office. at Tucson, and to
the serious injuries and embarrsss-
ments resulting therefrom to the set
tiers upon our public lands.
13- We as a party place our candi-
dates before the electors OF the Terri
tory OF Arizona with the fullest belief
in their integrity aud in their capacity
to perform the duties Of the offices for
which they have been respectively
nominated. and We invoke q fair and
impartial Judgment from the peo lie
upon the principles enunciated by the
party. and not only pledge the party
but the candidates rs well 10 persistent
effort in successfully establishing the
