REPG RlECAN PLATE0R
/, The Republican party of The Ter,
TitOry OF Arizona announces it's firm
adherencs 10 the principles of the Re
publican party Of the nation, which
have been 20 triumphantly vindicated
in preserving the Union and in PRO-
noting the welfare and prosperity of
the people Of the United States Of
America.
2 AS Republicans We express our
admiration of the high personal char
sctsr Of President Harrison in his ad
ministralion of the affairs of the nation,
and We congratulate Republicans gen
I orally upon the success Of an admins
! tration Of the affairs Of the people
which has so signally promoted the
/ prosperity of the country at home and
I abroad. and which has secured for IL
The profound respect of the nations of
the world.
8. The Republican party, founded
upon the largest liberty of the citizen,
must insist that the elective franchise
Z eDtE uSted b the electors in every State
shall be regarded with the sanctity
/ that the Constr uti0n. with its amend-
/ ments, imposes. aud it ubhesiiatingly
| affirms the a. ciTIUe hat the votes of
I the electors ia Congressional Al elections
| IN all the States shall under proper
| Cor gTessI0usl l. gIslHtlUn be freely cast
and honestly counted.
! L. Congress 10 its wisdom has arisen
| TO The financial demands Of the country
and has provided system Of coinage
I Of silver TO meet the present financial
emergencies Of the people. and we must
/ insist, As 4 party. that an enlarged
/ financial ana industrial PROSPERITY
| shall further be secured by the free
/ coinage Of silver.
| 5 The governing power of the peo
| pie under Territorial restrictions is
/ limited and uusaiisfs ctory. The growth
Of the Territory Of Arizona. its wealth
and resources. &s well as The neeessi
ties Of our citiz=ns. require the early
recognition of Odr Territory as a State.
and we assert 1t to be the duty of the
Republican party Of Arizona to exert
all its activity and energy in promoting
the early admission OF the Territory
into the sisterhood of States.
g. The history of the Nor mon church
10 the United States means an ecclesi.
astical control that has ever been ac-
gressiye. exscting and tyrannical and
| whose boast has ever been that the
| Mormon church and people do not and
will not assimilate with the people of
our country; whose dominating tenet Is
! polygamy; whose doctrine Is to segre-
gate its people from all others in their
affairs; who vote as one man under the
diciatiou of'Its priesthood and only
for those who can be used for it's base
purposes; that as a people they are un-
American oDd disloyal, and that for
less reasons than these the Chinese
have been refused citizAnship and are
excluded from our couBtry; that the
Mormon element IN our midst is con
stantly increasing; that the evi! of
their lives is a blot upon the good
name and fair fame of our Territory.
and that if we allow this vice 10 con
tinus We cen hope to harvest from it
only evil; aud. therefore,
We. the Republicans Of Arizona, in
convention assembled, 90 hereby d.
1aaBd If Congress that before il ad
IOuTBs it shall pass the bill new pend
ing before it, known as an Act for the
"Pnrifcation Of Elections ia Arizona Z"
7. We urge upon Congress the i'm T.
mediate nece ssity of remedial legisla-
tion tlward relieving the settlers upon
the public domain IN this Territory
from the detrimental effects OF the
ope erstion Of the provisions Of the Arid
Land bill Of October 2. 1883
8 That the travel and traffic of our
p.epis IN tue Territory demand the
attention and favorable action of Con-
gress IN facilitating legislative aid for
the construeiion Of norih and south
railroad. SO that our growing agricnl-
tuFal and mining interests shall bave
those advantages Of transportation
commensurate with oar ever increasing
and active industries.
8. The bulwark Of Amsf fican liberties
Is our free schsol system, and the Re-
publican party, restIb As 1t does upon
the broad intelligence Of the people.
demands their careful and juiicious
supervision. and requires liberal Iegis-
I lation for the promOfi0D 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
aciusl services rendered. and We sin
eerely depreoste and shall resist the
crossing tendency Of our Territory to
increase the burdens of the taxpayers
beyond the actual necessity Of pro-
vidiug for a fur remuneration for
honest and efficient public servants
ard we believe It to be the dugy Of the
Republican party to address itself
forthwith 10 IiniBishing taxation by
