The Coconino weekly sun., 1892-05-19

tesehVeu, aOu great enthusiasm was manifested. Representative men, not only of tho Republican party, but rep rcsentative citizens of the Territory, were present. From report of the meeting published in the Ph@nix Herald we condense the following: Immediately on the organization of the club the following resolutions were passed:
 "The Republican Territory League of the Territory of Arizona hereby asserts its allegiance to the National Republican party and pledges itself to use every honorable means to advance its principles and promote it's success:
 "That we most heartily approve the administration of President Harrison and his able cabinet in the conduct of national affairs at home aud abroad
 That we endorse the appointment of N o. Murphy as Governor, feeling assured that the faithful and able dis charge of the duties of the office in the past gives the people of the Terri tory q guarantee of wise, prudent and successful administration of Terri torial affairs in the future; That we believe in prohibitory tax being placed on the importation of silver from foreign countries, and the free coinage of silver and gold as money on equal footing"
 Governor Murphy was invited to a seat in the convention and in an ad- dress thanked the convention for the honor conferred on him. He hoped that as Governor of the Territory he would be able to discharge the duties of his office to the satisfaction of the people He then spoke of the purposes of the league organization and thought it should be thorough and every effort should be made to promote the pur- poses of the league and the success of
 the Republican party. He thought
 that through Republican sources the
 Territory would be earlier admitted to
 the Union and more rapidly developed.
 The Governor then declared himself
 heartily in accord with the league
 movement and took his seat amid
 applause.
 | Hon. George Christ was placed in
 nomination as permanent president of
 the league. Mr. Christ thanked the
 convention for the honor it would con-
 fer upon him. He had labored only
 and singly for the success of the Re
 publican party in the Territory; his
 greatest wish was to redeem the Terri
 tory from the Democracy; he believed
 that if unity prevailed the success of
 the party was certain. It had given
 him great pleasure to go about the
 Territory doing the work he had done. He then said that in the interest ot harmony in the Republican party oi the Territory he begged leave to dc,
 cline the great honor that had been proposed to confer upon him. Col. Herring most feelingly remarked
 on the great magnanimity of Col Christ in making the sacrifice he had and proposed that the convention mee 1 it like men, and offered three cheer.
 for Col. Christ, which were given witt
 q will.
 Col. Wm. Herring then offered tht f following resolutions:
