 Reading of report of commiteee on order of business and platform by Mir. Waters. Report accepted and adopted. We, your committee appointed to draft platform for this convention, hereby submit the following: We, the Democratic party of Gla county, in convention assembled, do hereby reafIirm our allegiance to those great and essential princi- pies of the Democratic party, of justice and liberty upon which our institutions are founded and which it has advocated from the time of Jefferson down to our own.
 We most heartily endorse and approve the Democratic platform adopted by the Demo cratic party in convention at Chicago, and we believe the principles therein enunciated are most favorable to the best interests of the American people, regardless of sectional diff ferences or distinctions.
 We favor the frec and unlimited coinage of both gold and silver, at the present legal ratio of IS to 1, without waiting for the aid or con sent of any other nation. We believe that the gold policy of monometalllsm, and it's adoption, has enriched the money lenders and impover- ished the people and increased the burdens of taxation and paralyzed American industries.
 ".
 We believe in the honest and economic ad ministration of Territorial and County affairs; and we denounce the reckless expenditures and appropriations of public monies by our Legislatures, which has resulted in making Ari zona's indebtedness greater than that of any other geographical subdivision of the United States.
 "
 We favor the liberal appropriations of the government for the improvement of rivers harbors, and water highways; and we are earn estly in favor of the liberal appropriations of the general government for the construction of irrigation systems to secure to the settlers and homesteaders of the arid regions a suni- cient water supply.
 VI.
 We invite the support of all voters of Gila county, at the coming election, who may desire to have an honest and economic administration of Territorial and County affairs, and restor. ation of the country's prosperity.
