Arizona weekly citizen., 1894-09-15

| Resolved, That the administration O, national affairs by the Democratic party in the short period of little over two years has plunged the entire country into financial, commercial, agricultural and industrial ruin more wide spread and disastrous than any country ever experienced in the same period. Resolved, That the Republican party favors the immediate enactment by Con- gress of law placing gold and silver on fair, equitable ratio with each other, not to exceed sixteen ounces of silver to one of gold, as the legal money of the United States of America; and the free coinage of both metals at the ratio SO fixed; and the placing of an import duty on all silve- bullion brought into the country, not the product of the mines of the United States, believing that such legislation would tend to speedily re- store the industries of our country to that condition of prosperity which ex- isted before the wrongful demonetizs- tion of silver.
 Resolved, That we favor the reduc- tion of taxation to the lowest possible limit under which the Territorial, county and municipal governments can be car ried on, and to this end we pledge the members of this convention to the Coun- cil and the Legislature of the Territory to favor the enactment of laws reducing the number of Territorial, county and municipal officers, and placing the sala- ries and fees of such officers at the low est rate at which competent and trust worthy officers can be secured, to the end that the most rigid economy shall prevail in the administration of the pub lie offices.
 Resolved, That we pledge the mem bers of this convention to the Council tory of Arizona, if elected, to favor the enactment of law to make it a felony, with punishment by imprisonment in the Territorial prison, for any person to bring into this Territory, counsel or as- sist In bringing into the Territory, any Indian who has presumably been guilty of committing crime within the Terri tory of Arizona, except to surrender such Indian to the proper legal author ities for trial and punishment.
 Resolved, That we demand at the hands of the Federal Administration the admission of Arizona into the sls- terhood of States, and that we sincerely deplore the efforts of the Arizona De- mocracy in their attempt to intimlda.e citizens of the Territory into voting the Democratic ticket, as the only means of obtaining our admission into the Union.
