coehise County Republican Platform.

Co.,, Arizona, in convention assembled at Tombstone, this eleventh day of October, A. ID. 1894, presents for pub lie consideration the following affirm ations and declarations of principles. We heartily endorse the Republican National Platform as adopted at Min
 neapolis in 1892, and the Republican Territorial Platform as adopted at Tucson on the l2th of September.
 We approve of the doctrine of Amer ican markets for American producers, aud we condemn the efforts of the free trade democracy to prOstrate Ameri- can industry by throwing open to for eign producers the markets of Ameri- ca.
 We call attention to the fact that under thirty years of Republican su- premacy the business man was always able to dispose of his wares and the workingman could always find job at good wages, while under the present democratic ascendancy the business of the country is paralyzed, working men wandering penniless over the country looking for employment, and their families are suffering and desti- tute.
 We favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a ratio of IS to l, regardless of the action of any other nation: and we condemn the present national democratic administration efforts toward reducing the country to single gold basis.
 We condemn the national demOcra- tic administration for it's blundering conduct of foreign affairs, by which it has lowered American prestige and standing all over the world.
 We condemn the national demOcra- tic administration for it's abandon ment of reciprocity, and the foreign markets for millions of dollars worth of American products, secured by Re publican legislation, that abandon ment has effected.
 We condemn the national demOcra- tic party for destroying the wool grow ing industry of Arizona by putting wool on the free list, and damaging the cattle industry by reducing the duty on cattle.
 We favor repeal of the merchants license tax, a democratic measure, which has been of no value to our county, and detriment to the people and their business interests.
 We are in favor of statehood for Ari- zona, and condemn the inaction of the democratic party and it's thrilled pro- mises in that regard: and we claim that our chances for success in secur- ing statehood would enhanced by cleo tion of republican delegate to con- gress.
 We favor'tthe enactment of laws which will protect American labor from importation of cheap foreign workmen as well as from importation of cheap foreign merchandise; nine tenths of the labor difficulties of the country having been due to the inn portation of cheap labor.
 We condemn the abandonment of Fort Bowie and removal of the caval- " from Fort Huachuca, leaving the people of Arizona exposed to the de- of the most bloodthirsty tribe of Indians in the world, while at the same time the democratic pre- sident must have body guard to pro- tect him from peaceable American citizens.
 We condemn the democratic party of Arizona for it's palpable effort to divert attention from, these burning issues and conduct the campaign on false issues based upon islander and of the head of the Repub- lican ticket.
 We condemn the action of the dem ocratic astorney general of Arizona in the repudiatlon of territorial warrants, drawn and cashed in good faith; by his action impairlng the credit of the commonwealth.
 We favor every protection to the mining, cattle, wool and other indus tries 6f Arizona, and point tO the fact that Republican legislation has always sought their protection, while dem- ocratic legislation has always damaged them.
 We condemn the muddle into which warning democratic officials two years apo threw the public affairs of Cochise
