 Report of the Committee on Resolu- tions
 We, your Committee on Resolutions, have the honor to submit to the Con- vention the following report, to-wit:
 RESOLVED :-
 That we, the Democracy of Apache County, in convention assembled, here by declare our affirmance of the reso- lutions unanimously adopted and de- clared as platform of principles by the Democratic Convention, at Chica- go, July 7th, 1896, and that adopted by the Territorial Convention held at Will Hams Sept. 17th, 1896, believing that the Democratic principles are unchan- geable in their nature when applied to the same subject matter.
 That We recognize the equality of all men before the law. We hold that It is the duty of the government in all it's dealings with the people to mete equal and exact justice to all persons of what ever nativity, color, sex, or persuasion, religious or political, they may be.
 That we believe in absolute acquiesc- cnce to the will of the majority-the vital principal of republics; in the su- premacy of the civil over the military power; in the total separation of church and state. for the sake alike of civil and religious freedom; in the equality of all citizens before just laws of their own enactment, in liberty of the inji- vidual conduct; In the faithful educa- ] tion of the rising generation in order that they may preserve, enjoy and transmit those best conditions of hu- man happiness and hope. In these things we behold the noblest products of hundred years of changeful histo- ry, but while upholding bond of un- ion, the inspired Constitution, the great charter of those our rights, it be- hooves free people to practice also eternal vigilance.
 That we favor economy in every de- partment of national, territorial and local government; non-partlsanship in school elections, and pledge ourselves to work for the election of represent ative in Congress who is unquestiona- 1 bly, in favor of the free and unbmite coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of Is to 1, without awaiting the pleas ure and conveniece of any foreign pow CT whatsoe yer.
 WHEREAs:-
 Modern changes in society have made many women self-dependent, and self supporting, and whereas, women are admitted to all institutions of learning, and to all learned professions, there fore be it.
 RESOLVED:
 That We believe the time has come to empower them, through possession of the ballot, to be the efficient allies of true Democracy. and pledge our repre- sentatives to the Territorial Legisla- ture to support any measure toward that end.
 That the public credit must be sa- credly maintained. and we denounce re- pudiatiou in every form and guise.
 That we endorse the law concerning sheep inspection, but favor the reduc- ton of the fee of the inspector.
 That we endorse the administration of the present Board of Supervisors for being just, economical and non-partI- san.
 That we believe the office of ImmigrA- ton Commissioner entails needless expense upon the tax payers ot many counties of the Territory. We favor an amendment to the law by which it will be left optional with the Boards of Supervisors of the different counties whether they shall incur the expense or not.
 That we unhestatlngly condemn the last Republican Legislature for it's un- justness, incompetency and partisan ship, and, as an example of it's class legislation in favor of the rich man, We need but cite The amendment to the road tax law, by which tn, rich man still pays but $2O0 in cash. but the poor man must work hard two days to pay his instead of one as the old law had 1t.
 That in the coming campaign We ex- tend the hand Of party fellowship to all persons, regardles of past party af filiations, who expect to support the Democratic Candidates.
