 6. Tue history of the Mor mon church in the Uuit'd States means an ceclesi ssticsi cuHtIul that bas sNrr been az gress.yt. Nactins and ty raunl.a.l and S hose boast has rgrr b eu that lhe Moru.on chuseh aud people do nnt and will D ,I assfmIltie NIth the people of our eCuutry; whose dominating tenet IS poiyganiy; whose doctrine IS to segIe- gate its people from all others in their ahairs; who vote as one man under the dic.ation of it's priesthood and only for those who can be used for its base purposes; that as a people they are un- American 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- stsntly 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 tinue we can hope 10 harvest from it only evil; and. therefore,
 We, the Republicans of Arizona, in convention assembled, d0 hereby de mAnd of Congress that before 1t ad JOurns 1t shsil pass the bill now pend ing before 1t, known as an Act for the "PuTiication of Elections in ArIzoBa
 '. 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 p-epie in the Territory demand the attention and favorable action of Con gress m facilitating legislative aid for the construction of north and south railroad. so that our growing agricul tursl and mining interests shall have those advantages of transportation commensurate with our ever increasing and active industries.
 5. The bulwsrk of American liberties Is our free schsol system. and the Re- publican party. resting as 1t does upon the broad intelligence of the people. lde mands their careful and judicious .superyision. and requires liberal Iegis lation fer the promotion and conduct of our Territorial school system.
 10. Taxation for Territorial, county and municipal purpo es should not be predieated 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 cerely depreoate and shall resist the growing tendency of our Territory to 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 it to be the duty of the Republican party to address itself forthwith to diminishing taxation by cutting of all needless offices and re dueing public expenditures 10 the low. est point consistent with an honest and efficient administration of the laws. 1 IL The principles of Republication require the party to foster and encour age every industry which tends 10 give vitality and prosperity to the whole Territory by a wise. judicious leglsla. tion, whereby the interests of labor ana capital shall be equally protected. IF. 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 grayest caution Tn again entrust- ing the powers of the government te officials elected or af pointed by the Democratic party or Its rulers. and we direct the attention of the tax payers and the people a. large to the deficit of S5, 100 in the account of the Demo- cratic Commissioners of the Territorial prison;to the large unsdjusted balance due to the Territory from the late Sec retary Bayard in the administration of his office; and te the appalling deh- ciency in the accounts of Fred W. Smith. late Receiver in the United State Land Office. at Tucson, and to the serious injuries and embarrass- ments resulting therefrom to the set- tler- upon our public lands.
 l3. We as a party place our eandi- dates before the electors Of the Terri tory of Arizona with the fullest belief iD their integrity and in their capacity to perform the duties of the offices for which they have been respectively nominated. and Re invoke fair and impartial judgment from the peo .le upon the principles enunciated by the party. and not only pledge the party but the candidates es well to persistent effort in successfully establishing the principles herein set forth.
