asm and ad0pted-by unanimous vote.
 The Republican party of Cochise Co.,, Arizona, in convention assembled at Tombstone, this eleventh day of October, A. D. 1891, 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 ofthe 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 Amerl- 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 a job at good wages, while under the present democratic ascendancy the business of the country Is paraiyzed, working men wandering pennlless over the country looking for employmcnt, and their families are suffering and deSti- tute.
 We favor the free and unlimited coinage of silver at ratio of l6 tn l, regardless of the action of any other nation; and we condemn the present national democratic administration for it's continuous and unremitting efforts toward reducing the country to single gold basis.

 We flavor the enactment of laws which will protect American labol 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 i'm p0rtation of cheap labor.
 We condemn the abandonment ol Fort Bowie and removal of the cayal ry from Fort Huachuca, leaving the people of Arizona exposed to the de predations 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 tC divert attention frOmkthese burning issues and conduct the campaign or false issues based upon islander ant villificati6n of the head ofathe Repub lican ticket.
 We condemn the action of the dem ocratic astorney general of Arizona il ordering the repudiation of territoria warrants, drawn and cashed in gooC faith; by his action impairing thu credit of the commonwealth.
 We favor every protection to tn mining. cattle, wool and other indus tries of Arizona, and point to the fac that Republican legislation has alway sought their protection, while dem ocratic legislation has always damage
