 The Peoples party of Gla county Arizona, in convention assembled, at Globe Sept ls, is98 promulgated the following declaration of principles
 We endorse the platform adopted by our na- tional convention at St. Louis, Mo, July 22 le95 that nominated William Jennings Bryan for President and Thomas F. Watson for Vice. President. We also endorse the platform adopted by our Territorial convention at Phoe-
 
 ton of said conventional unanimously nomna ting w. O. oNeill for delegate to Congress We promise him our earnest support. We win do all in our power to elect q county ticket nominated by the united supporters of ". J. Bryan for President. as we believe the time has come for all in accord with the platforms adopted by the Democrats n! Chicago and the Populists and Silverites at St. Louis, to stand together in this campaign In opposition to those who favor the platform adopted by the Repub- ucans at St. Louis that nominated Wm. Me Kinley for President and c. A. Hobart for Vice-President. The Populls; Silver and Democratic parties represent the best interest of the great mas of the people, while the present Republican party stands for the pluto crats and shylocks.
 Resolved That the United States census of ls9O is an eye-opener as to Arizonas financial decadence. It reveals the fact that the de cade intervening from isso to 1890, shows an in creased percentage of Indebtedness of 42s per cent. In 1880 the rate of indebtedness per cap ita was .Ss, and in 1890 had increased to si9 g. and in that ratio 1t is pertinent 10 enquire what 1t win be in 1900 t Is A well understood fact that the wiliful waste of Territorial substance is chiefly if not wholly chargeable to corrupt legislation which has resulted in Arizonas in debtedness (according to its taxable property) being in excess of any other geographical sub division Of the United States.
 Therefore 1t bchooves the Territorial Legis- latiye Assembly, in their disbursements Of pub lie funds to be more economical than hereto fore, otherwise the Territory will become bankrupt
