 The Republican party of Cochise county in convention assembled, declares the principles as follows:
 First-Believing that the true interests of the Nation are best subSeryed by the principles of the Republican party, we hereby desire to place ourselves in accord with the party of the Nation and fully endorse the administration of Presi-
 SecOnd-Recognizing the fact that the Re- publican Territorial Convention, which con vcned in PhUniX on the twenty-eighth of August, was composed of the representative men of the party and that in their enunciation of principles, they voiced the sentiments of the party in Arizona we heartily concur in their action and endorse in its entirety the platform adopted by the convention.
 Third-Whereas our Territory, for long term of years, has been harrassed, our relatives and neighbors ruthlessly murdered by the willy and treacherOus Apache, rendering the enjoy ment of life and property precarious and re- lrding the material advancement of our Ter utOry, the late action of the military in hunting down and preventing the murderous raids of our hereditary enemies, thereby securing tO us peace and feeling of security tO which we have been strangers for years, is grateful to our peO- pie and this convention desires to tender its thanks Co the military for their action.
 Fourth-Mercy, and desire to relieve suffer ing being considered the grandest tributes of human character this convention character izes as inhuman that section of what is known as the "hospital law preventing the extension of public relief tO alien sufferers, and hereby pledges the candidates for the Legislature for the repeal of that law.
 Fifth-Our taxpayers having been for num- Der of years compelled to endure high rate of taxation, this convention points to the fact that by reason of the late administration of our atiairC during the past two years the rate of taxation in COchise county is now lower than it has been for long term of years, and this convention pledges its candidates to an econom- iCal administration of affairs.
 SiXth-FOr an almost uninterrupted term of ten years, Arizona has been represented in the halls of Congress by men of the Democratic party and they having in that time accom- plshed nothing for the benefit of the Territory, we charge them with incOmpetency and believe the time has arrived when we should make a strong and united effort tO change the local complexion of our Representative in Congress and as Joint Councilman from the Southern District; therefore,
 Resolved, That this convention do heartily endorse and ratify the nomination of Hon. George w. Cheyney for Delegate to Congress and Hon. W. F. Nichols as Joint Councilman, and pledge the honor of this convention and the Republican party of COchise county to do all in their power Co secure their election.
