To the Republican Territorial Conven.
ton OF Arizona:
GENTLEMEN:-We, your committee on
resolutions and platform, beg leave to
submit the following report:
We, the republicans of the territory
of Arizona, in convention embed,
hereby renew our allegiance to the time
honored principles of the republican
psrty, SO propounded by it's founders,
and hereby pledge our united support
to the maintenance Of those principles.
And we hereby declare that the un-
restricted control Of the government by
the democratic patty hes been record
OF unparalleled incapacity and disaster.
They have ruthleseiy sacrificed indis-
penssble revenue. They have entslled
an unnecessary deticIt, end have bor-
rowed money for ordinary expenses, pill
ing up the public debt in time Of peace.
They have forced an adverse balance
of trade aud reversed all the measures
and results of successful republican leg
islation. Therefore be it
Resolved, That every consideration
CT pu bile safety demands that the gov
eminent shall be rescued froni the hands
of those VINO have shown themselves in-
capable to conduct it, and that 1t she'll
be restored to the party which for thirty
years administered it vita unparalleled
success.
That We believe the first and most i'm
portapt question before the people is the
tariff. We believe that the policy Of pro-
tectIng American Industries is the fouu-
dation aud bulwsrk Of American devel-
opment and prosperity. And We de-
eign imports VIII oh come into competi
ton with American products as will not
only furnish adequate revenue for the
necessary expenses OF the government
but will protect American labor and
American wages. We favor the restora-
lion of a tariff on wool, as we'll as upon
The importations OF foreign cattle, equal
10 that existing under the Mckinley
law.
Resolved, That protection and recip-
-ocity ere twin measures OF republican
policy. And we allege that democratic
rule has struck down both, and We de-
nand that both mast be restored. We
demand protection for what We produce
interest, which gain opes markets for Us
q return for open markets for others.
Protection builds up domestic industries
and trade, and secures our own market
or ourselves. Reciprocity builds up our
,rsde with foreign nations aud nnds an
outlet for our surplus.
Resolved, That We endorse the ma
ional repL blican platform ss en1nciat
I'd at 81. Louis without any reservation
whatever. While We are believers in
we believe that the repub-
icsn party lie the only true friend OF
silver, and will legslate in such man.
Der as will be favorable to the coinage
,f silver witht ut disturbing the busi-
ness interests of the country. We re-
gard the silver plank in the national
democratic platform as simply subter
'uge, invented to confuse the people
and divert their attention from the true
ssues before them in this campaign,
rhich Is legislation upon the tariff ques-
ion.
Resolved, That it is the sense OF
his convention that Arizona ought to
be admitted to statehood, as we believe
t would be OF general benefit to our CON-
non wealth; and We demand our sdmis-
lion to the sistsrhood of states, in this
Union, without further equivocation
Or delay.
Resolved. That We endorse the
course of our delegate to congress-, Hon.
\ 0 Murphy. and we believe that the
people OF Arizona have been we'll and
IDLY represented by him. His labo-s
,ave always been in the interest of bis
