 all its activity and energy iu promoting tue early admission of the Territory into the sistsrhOOd of States.
 G. The history of the MoI mon church Ia tke United States means an ecelesi a~ticsl control that has ever been az gressiye. exacting and iyrannical and hose boast has ever ben that the MrrnOn church aud people do not aud will not assimIlate with the people of oc: country; whose dominating tenet Is poly gamy; who's doctrine is 70 sesfe. gate its eople from all others in their affairs; W ho vote as one man under the dic.atlon of iis priesthood aud only for those who can be used for its base purposes; that as people they are un- American ond disloyal. and that for 1 less reasons than these the Chinese have been refused citizenship and are excluded from our eountTy; that the Mormon element in our milst is con- stantly increasing; that the evil of their lives is blot upon the good name and fair fame of our Territory. and that if we allo this vice io con. iinue we can hope 10 harvest from ii only evil; and. therefore,
 We. the Republicans of Arizona. in convention assembled, do hereby ds mand of Congress that before 1t ad. lourns II shall pass the bull now pend iDg before 1t. known as an Act for tbe 'Puriticstion of Electious in Arizona. " 2. We urge upon Congress the i'm mediate necessity of remedial legisla- tion t1vsrd 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 p'epie in the Territory demand the attention and favorable scfion of Con grcss ID facilitating legislative aid for the construction of a north and south railroad, so .h.; oaT growing agricni lural and mining interests shall have those advantages of trausportation commensurate with our ever decreasing and active industries.
 5. The bulWark of American liberties IS our frae school system, and the Re. publican party. resting ss it does upon the broad intelligence of the people, demands tbeir careful Ond iGdicious supervision. and requires Iihersl l%gis iaiiOn for the promution and conduct of our Territorial school system.
 To Taxation for Territorial. county and municipal purpo es should not be predieaied 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 Ne 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- viding for fair remuneration for honest and efficient public servants. and We believe 1t 10 be the duty of the Republican party to address itself forthwith to diminishing taxation bv cutting of sll needless offices and re lucing public expenditures 10 the low est point consistent with an hC Cpest and efficient administration of the laws.
 II. The principles of RFpublicsnism require the party to foster and encouT age every industry which tends to give vitality and prosperity 10 tie whole Territory hy wise. iudicious legisla- iion. whereby the Interesis of labor ana capital shall be equally protected.
 l2. The dsfalcaiIons which have arisen in this Territory in the accounts of the Democratic officials appointed 10 office under Democratic rnis should inspire Ihe people Of the Territory Sith grayest caation in again entrusi- ing tue powers of the government te officials elected or appointed by the Democratic party or Its rulers. and vs direct the atteDtion of the tax payers and the people at large to the deficit of S5.7O0 in the account of the Demo- cratic Commissioners of the Territorial prison; 10 fbe large uoadjusted balance due to the Territory from ths late Sec retary Bayard in the administration of his office; aud te the appalling def. ciercy in the accounts of Fred ". Smith. late Receiver in the United Siaies Land Office. at Tucson. and 10 the serious injuries and embarrass- ments resulting tbeTefrom to the set. tlers upon our public lands.
 13. We as party place our csndi- dates before the electors of the Tsrri- tory of Arizona with the f1llesi belief n their integrity and in their capacity 70 perform the duties of the off .es for which they have been respectively aomipate !. and He invoke a fair and impartial judgment from the pso ,le lpOn the principles enuneiaied by the party. an l pot on'y pledge the party ant ihe candidates fs well to persistent ,fnrt io successfully establishing the ..rfpps. ..ias E1rai sef forfk
