Tombstone daily prospector., 1890-10-20

Republican party of Arizona to exert
 all its activity and energy in promoting
 the eeriy admission of the Tsrritory
 into the slsteThood of States.
 C. The history of the MOr mon church l in tte Uuiled States means an ecclesi. I astical control that has ever been az gressiYe, exaeting and ,yTsnuicai and bo,e boast has ever bAen that the
 Morlnon chnIch and peopls do not and SIll not assimIlate witb the people of our cOuntry; whose dominating tenet Is 1 Polygamy; whose doctrine is to segfe- ] gate its eople from ali others in their
 affairs; who vote as one man under the ! dIc.RtiOn of iis priesthood and only ' for those who can be used for its base : purposes: that as A people they are un-
 American ond disloyai, and that for ! less reasons than these tho Chinese have been Iefufed citizenship aud are excluded from our couDtry; that the | Mormon element in our nidst Is con | stRntly increasing; that the evil of | tbeir lives IS & blot upon the good | name aud fair fame of cur Territory,
 and that if we allow this vice to con. i tinua we can hope io harvest from 1t ! only evil; and, therefore,
 We. the Republicans of Arizona, in convention assembled, do hereby ds. ! mand of Congress that before # ad. louTns it shzil pass the bIll now pend | ing before it. known as an Act for the 'PUrificstion of Elections ia ArIzoBa. !" 2. We urge upon Congress the im
 mediate necessity of remedial legisls-
 tion 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
 $ That the travel and traffic of our
 psopie in the Territory demand ihs attention and favorable action of Con
 gress ID facilitating legislative aid for the cou.tTuelion of & north and south
 railroad. SO that our growing agricul tural and mining interests shHl! have those advantages of transportation commensurate with our ever increasing and active induSirIes
 2. The bulwark of American liberties IS our free school system, and ibs Re- publican party. resting ns it does upon
 ihe broad intelligence of the people. demands tbeir careful and juficious supervision. and requires iibersl legis laiisn for the promotion aud cOnduct of our Territorial school system.
 10 Taxation for Territorial. county
 and municipal purpo es should not he pTedicated upon R principle If furnish
 Ing living for public officials who
 seek office. but should be restricted
 absolutely to q just compensation for actual services rendered, and We sin cersly dsprecate and shall resist the gro0ing tendency of our Territory to increase the burdens of the tax payers | beyoud the actual necessity of pro- vidiug for a fair remuneration for houest and eficien, public servants. and we believe 1t 10 be the duty of the ] Republican party to address itself ] fnrtb with to 5imiuishiDg taxation by cutsiDG of sii needless offices and re ducing public expenditures 10 the low eat point consistent with an ht nest and l efficient admiEistrs tion of the laws. II. The principles of Republicsnism
 require the party 10 foster and eBcour age every industry which tends to give
 vitality and prosperity to the whole
 Territory by a Sise. judicious ieg,sls ! ton, whereby the interests of labor ana capital shall be equally protected. r.. The defalcaiIOus 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 caaiion in again entrusi- ing the powers of the government te officials elected Or appointed by the Democratic party or its rulers. and we tireo. the attention of the tax payers
 and the people at large to the deficit of S5,7OO in the account of the Demo-
 cratic Commissioner of the Territorial prison;to the large uoadjusted balance due t1 the Territory from the late Sec retary Bayar8 in the administration of his office; and te the appalling def ciency in the accounts of Fred W. Smith. late Receiver in the United
 State Land Office, ct Tucson, and to
 the serious injuries and enbarrass-
 ments resulting iherefrom to the set-
 ter upon our public lands.
 l3. We as party place our caDdi-
 dates before inc electors of the Terri
 tory of Arizona with the fullest belief
 iu their integrity and in their capacity
 to perform the duties of the office. for
 which they nave i,--u rrst,-,55iiiiSsss,,,=
