all its activity and energy in promoting

6. The history of the NJ Mnrmon church
in the United States laeaus an ,eclesl.
astieal coptTol that has ever been sg
gressiye. exsetinR aud :, ransicaI and
ab.s>e boast has ever a--n that the
Mormon chnIch ahd se,'pis- Do not aud
will rot assimllate SIth the peop'e of
our country whos, dominating tenet Is
poly gamy; whose doctrine Is to srgfs-
gate it's people from all Others ia their
sst=irs; tho vote as one man under tha
die alton of it's priesthood aud oniy
| for those who can be used FIR ~ base
purposes; that as a people they are uE-
American ond disloyal, and that for
less reasons than these the Chinese
have been refused ci.izenship snd are
excluded from our country; that the
Mormon element IN our mid.t ~ con-
stantly increasing; that the evil of
| their lives IS blot upon the good
name aud fair fame of our Territory,
and that il we allow this vice tn enn-
tinue we can hope TO harvest from it
only evil; sod. therefore,
We. the Republicans of Arizona, in
convention assembled. d" hereby da
maud Of Congress that before IT ad
| iourns il shall pass the ball now pend
ing before it. known as an Act for the
"Purifcstion of Elections in Arizona.
| z. We urge upon Congress the i'm
mediate necessity of remedial lsgisla-
| tiop toward relieving the settlers upon
the public domain In this Territory
/ from the detrimental effects Of the
I operation of the provisions of the Arid
Land bill Of October 2. 1888
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 construction of a north and south
railroad, so that our growing agricul
1 tnral and mining interests shall have
/ those advantages of transportation
commensurate with our ever increasing
and active industries.
| 3. The bulwsrk of American liberties
is our free school system. aud the Re-
| publican party. resting as it does upon
the broad intelligence of the people,
demands their careful and iudicious
supervision. and requires liberal legis
latiou fer the promotion and 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 a living for public officials who
seek Office. but should be restricted
absolutely to Just compensation for
actual services rendered, and We sin
5STsiy depT s1sie aud 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 ii to be the duty of the
Republican party to address itself
forthwith to diminishing taxation by
cutting off all needless Offices and re.
ducing public expenditures TO the low
est point consistent with an honest and
efficient administration Of the laws.
IL. The principles of Republicanism
require the party 20 foster and eDcour
age every industry which tends to give
vitality and prosperity to the whole
Territory by a wise. judicious legisla
ton, whereby the interests of labor
ana capital shall be equally protected.
L. The defalcaiIons which have
arisen in this Territory in the accounts
of the Democratic officials appointed
10 Office under Democratic rule should
inspire he people Of the Territory
With gravest caution IN again entrust-
ing the powers of the government te
officials elected or al Tpointed by the
Democratie party or Its rulers. and we
direct the attention of the tar payers
and the people at large to the deficit
of So. 100 in the account Of the Demo
cratic Commissioners of the Territorial
prison to the large unadjusted balance
due 10 the Territory from the late Sec
retary Bayard in the administration OF
his Office; and 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 embsrrass-
ments resulting tberefrom to the set.
tler~ upon our public lands.
l3- We as a party place our candi-
dates before the electors of the Terri
tory of AriZons with the fullest belief
in their integrity and in their capacity
to perform the duties of the offices for
which they have been respectively
nominated. and We invoke fair and
impartial Judgment from the pso lie
upon the principles enuncia,ed by the
party. and not only pledge the party
bnt the candidates Ps well to persistent
effort IN successfully establishing the
