 Whereas, The experience of the past two years has given the American peO- pie ample opportunities to study the difference between the theoretical prin- ciples of free trade and the effect they would have when put to a practical test, and inasmuch as such experience has been sufficient to fully demonstrate the utter fillacies of such theories to large number of citizens and resi- dents of Williams and COconino coun- ty who have heretofore given their al- legiance and support to the democratic party, but have privately declared themselves repently as going to sup port the republican ticket at the elec- ton on November next; and,
 Whereas, The republican, party has at all times recognized the necessity of nominating men for public office whose honor, integrity and ability could not be honestly questioned, and in pursu- auoe of this fact and in harmony with the merit system for public service, has, in territorial and county cOnven- tions, nominated an exceptionally strong and clean ticket, whose per Sonality cannot be criticised by the most fastidious and eXacting electors; and,
 Whereas, success in politics being only possible where a thorough organ izatiOn exists, with the united efforts aud support of each and every party adherept being enlisted in the active service of his party, be 1t
