cratic territorial convention had one
prevailing idea and that was free silver.
W. A. Rowe, of Ysvspai, was elected
chairman. His speech expressed dis
satisfaction with the policy Of the na-
tionel democratic administration and
called upon the convention to express
it's principals without hesitation aud il
wrong has been done by any man in
principle that 1t be denounced ia the
platform. The report OF the committee
on resolutions was as follows:
Resolved, Ths: the Democratic
party OF Arizops in convention repu-
diate the financial policy OF the present
national administration. We endorse
the language used by John G. Carlisle
10 1878 when he denounced the con.
spiracy to destroy silver as standard
money as the most gigantic crime OF
this or any other age snd We sgre
with him 10 the declaration then made
that the contamination OF such a
scheme would ultimately entail more
misery upon the human race than all
the wars and pestilences that nave ever
occurred in the history of the world.
"We are not willing to be parties to
such crime and IN order to undo the
wrong already done and to prevent
further decrease in tie purchasing
power OF the dollar, We favor the i'm
mediate restoration OF the free and un-
limited coinage of gold and silver st
the present legal ratio Of Is to l, as
such coinage existed prior to '73, with
out waiting for the aid or consent OF
any other nation, such gold apd silver
to be full legal tender for all dahts, pub
lie and private. We are opposed TO the
retirement of greenbacks and demand
that the secretary OF the treasury in
stead CT issuing interest bearing bonds
for the purchase Of gold ebsll recognize
silver as money Of redemption and ex-
ercise the right to redeem greenbacks,
treasury notes and all other coin obi
cations in silver where silver ia more
convenient.
Resolved, That delegates to the
national convention be and they are
hereby instructed to vote as a Unit and
to vote only for free coinage candi-
dates for nomination for president and
vice president.
Resolved, That We, the Democratic
party IN convention assemb led, demand
the immediate admission of Arizona to
the sisterhood OF states and we urge
our delegate to congress to use his
best endeavors to that end"
