 1st-We are in full accord, and endorse the platform and principles of the Ma tional Republican party adopted and en- dorsed by the National Republican Con vention at Chicago in 1888, as embrac- ing the broadest principles of human rights, and for the best interests of the people of this nation.
 2nd-We favor retrenchment and re- form, in all matters pertaining to legis- lation in regard to our county and terri torial affairs; and to this end we in- struct our nominees to the territorial legislature to carry out a system of legal enactments, which will obliterats all useless offices, which are, or may be, of little value to our people; and which create useless expenditures by the peo- pie, without any. or seeming adequate to compensate for the enormous taxes which are required to keep up the system now so burdensome, and which has proven terror to those seeking our land of promise for the purpose of in- vestment, or to make future homes within our midst.
 3d-We heartily enorse the spirit which animates the administration of President Harrison, and we congratu- late the country, and the Republican party, for the r, ssa 6 of the bill, which has made silver the equal of gold, and has placed the intersts of this territory in such position that it will in the fu ture stand on and equal footing with the most favored state or territory of this great republic.
