 The Republicans of Nogales, Pima County, Arizona, in mass meeting as- sembed this I'd day Of October, A. D.. 1896, hereby present this declaration of principles as token of the faith witisir us:
 We endorse the full and entire platform of the National Republican Party as adopted at St. Louis, without any reservation whatever, and with equal absence of reservation or evasion we approve the Territorial Republican platfOrm as adopted at Ph9nlX on the 22nd of September 1896.
 We stand Tor remouetization of sil- yer, but we demand such a solution of the problem involved that while it shall reopen the abandoned silver nsiRes of Arizona jt shall not reduce the purchasing power of the dollars in which are paid the wages of American workingmen, as we have seen reduced the purchasing power of the dollars in which are paid the wages of Mexican w0rkingmen in our very midst. To that end wc favor international bi- metallisn, as proposed by the National Republican platform, as being the puly monetary policy which can feha- bilitatc silver without imp0verlshing the workingmen Of the United States.
 We heartily endorse the nomination for the great and exalted office of Pre- sident of the United States of that peerless patriot, superb soldier and grand statesman, Wm. Mckinley of Ohio; we further endorse the nomina- tion for Vice President of the United States of that other capable and eff cient public servant, Garrett A. Ho- bart of New Jersey; and we also ap- prove the nomination of that sturdy pioneer and honest workingman, A. J. Doran, of Pinal county, for delegate in congress from Arizona.
 We are opposed to fusion with Po- pulists or Populism, and we instruct the delegates from Nogales Precinct to the Republican County Convention of Pima county, to vote for nOmina- tion of only straight Republicans to county offices.
 We hereby instruct the delegates. from NOgales Precinct to the Repub- lican County Convention of Pima county to present to that county con vention these resolutions and to work and vote for their adoption.

 Ihe chair held that the conSiderat- ion of the resolutions was out of order and ordered the meeting to proceed with the nomination of candidates for delegates to the county convention.
 Strenous objection was made by Messrs Brickwood, Bird, Casanega, Hood and others, and two members of the committe, Messrs Williams and Calisher, after reading the resolutions accepted them and said they would report that they be adopted. But the chair insisted upon his ruliug and de- clared that the meeting should pro- ceed with the regular order, which was to nominate candidates for dele gates to the county convention
