 THE PLATFORM.
 The Republican party of Arizona re- affirms Its belief in and adherence to the principles of the Republican party, un- der which the entire country has pros pered and advanced ln all it's material interests as no other nation ever has.
 This success and prosperity hes been due largely to wise system of protec~ tion to home industries, home market and home labor, the maintenance of which is of the greatest importance to the laboring men, to stock growers, to wool producers, to mining industries, to the producers of the soil and to every other American industry.
 Because of an opposite belief by the Democratic administration since it has assumed control of governmental af- fairs, all of our industrial interests are threatened with destruction or great in- jury. We censure the Democratic adminis- tration for First-An increase of our national bonded indebtedness. Second-It has legislated in the inter ests of the great sugar trust of the country.
 Third-lt has almost destroyed the cattle, wool and silver interests of Amer ica.
 Fourth-It has failed to redeem it's pledges of two years since to give state hood to the Territory. Fitth-It has legislated in the inter- ests of the manufacturers of other coun- tries and against the interests Of all classes in our own country, and IS re- sponable for the hard times" that af- | flict us.
 Wa are opposed to the return of the | renegade Geronimo to our Territory, as | is now threatened. We believe in the free and unlimited coinage of silver m ratio of l6 to l, and demand that our government take | immediate steps to this end, without re- gard to what other nations may do. We favor the reduction of taxation to the lowest possible limit under which territorial, county and municipal gov | ernments can be carried on in our ter | ritory.
 We demand national legislation in the | question of naturalization and immigra- | tfon, to the end that our country may be | protected from socialists. anarchists and the pauper and criminal classes of al | countries.
 l We favor government appropriation of moneys for the reclamation of the arid lands of the west. 1 We favor the admission of Arizona af a state and deprecate any attempt tC | make this party issue, as being mimi cal to the interests of the territory. | Business followed with despatch.
