 We cha,,enge the world iH all his tory to produce a chapter -1ual ID militarc nd naval aci eVements, wise leg. s-i0n able admins tration e. g0vern me ntsl affairs, to the one aua ..ins c.Osed between the Uni.EI S-ates and Spain. With in few mont. grand army was enlisted and equipped, and, with an invincible navy. sent forth to main tain the nation honor on land and sea. The unsurpassed herOism of the army. and the Unequalled victO ries of the navy, have swelled every American heart with pride and made undueucu -0le the fires of patriotism : on every American hearthstone. All the nations have been compelled to respect and honor us and acknowE edge our supremacy.
 The republican congress respond ed with enthusiasm born Of love of country. 10 the call of the president . for means with which to carry on the war, and all Europe viewed with respectful wonder the promptness with which apparently inexhaustl- ble resources were placed at the dis posal of the government. when the notions honor seemed in the slight est degree imperiled. All this by a republican congress and republi- can administration.
 The republican party of Arizona endorses fully the legislation accom- piished by the national republican leaders. and cOngratulstes the coun- try upon the effectiveness and wis dom of the revenue laws enacted by the fifty fifth congress.
 We unhesitatingly support the judgment and discretion of the re- publican congress upon all ques- lions of financial legislation, believ- ing that whatever changes are neces- ssrv for the welfare of 'he people can be best secured through repub- licsn efforts.
 We express our hearty and un- qualified approval of the annexa- ton of Hawaii, and applaud with unStinted commeudatiOn the wis dom and sagacity of the republican president and the publican states men who accom -a3 annexation against the usrr N .- uaJrioUc oP- position Of tbat -at 7hC m American -iaeL ans. 20 >, his country 1-4eTiD= e | s aa- ; down

 The republican. ri Arizona are : for statehood; to eoE,-au- the terri torlal relation any lager under the cIrcumstauces and conditions, con frmed by the record, Is not only an outrage, but sn unvarra nted and despotic abuse of legislative power, anl entirely contrary to 1T. spirit. if not tL. ..-tt-r. e .Ee most cher ished pr.a. ..,2s or our government. - The sane spirit " n aroused the uroueIck 5le rn1-Is sIssm Of our patriotic forefs- ! rs when they re- sisted with their .ves, taxation with out representation, and cemented with their blood the foundation of the immortal republic, actustes the people of this territory ID their de sire for self-y government. We pledge the party and it's nominee for con gress 10 use every honorable means to secure the admission of Arizona into the union of states.
 We favor the repeal of the forest reserve act.
 We favor the adoption of the principle of the initiative and the 2 referendum in all matters concern ing the creation of public debt in territorial, county and municipal af- faiIs.
 Arizona Is justly proud Of her mo- be sons who with uueXsmpled bray cry led the soldiers Of the nation al - Siboney and Fl Csney, and sealed with the blood of immortal heroes the territorv's claims to the rights of self government and the highest honors of American manhood.
 The republican party of Arizona believes that wherever the Amer can flag has been raised over ac- ouired territory, in advancing clvl- lizatiou and punishing the cruelties or semi -barbarOus governments there i5 should remain, an emblem of enlightened government, protect ing commerce and serving notice upon all Christendom that wherever our flag floats over soil conquered bv American heroIsm or made sa- cred by American blood. IL Is there to stay.
