PLATFORM.

The republicans of 1aVapdl county, Arizona, in county convention assem- bled, renew their allegiance to the principles upon which the national ticket triumphed in 1896, and con gratulate the American people on the attainment of so many results in leg islation and administration by which the Republican party has done so much to protect the defenseless, to preserve our national honor, and to place our flag on an equality with the first nations of the world. The re publican party has gained its strength by quick and faithful response to the demands of the people for justice and | freedom to an oppressed race; for the elevation of labor; for an honest cur rency; for purity in legislation, and for integrity and accountability in all departments of government,
 We affirm and endorse as just, pa triotic and wise, the platform adopt ed by the republican party in conven- tion assembled on June 19, 1900, at Philadelphia, Pa, and congratulate the party on the selection by that convention as nominee for president, that conservative and wise statesman, William Mckinley; and the selection as the nominee for vice president of Theodore Roosevelt man who in so short time has sprung into such prominence as has made his name a household word.
 We endorse both our national and territorial administrations, and com mend the latter for its strenuous and persistent advocacy of statehood for Arizona. We believe that this terri tory possesses in the highest degree all of those qualifications which en- title it to become an integral part of the nation, and pledge ourselves to unremitting efforts in that behalf un- til statehood be attained.
 We condemn as unjust and un- American the law passed by the dem ocratic territorial legislature of 1899 providing that the payment of a poll tax shall be a necessary qualification for registration, and recommend its repeal.
 We favor an economical and impar- tial administration of county affairs - and to this end the republicans of Yavapai county believe and urge that the ticket this day nominated shall receive the free and hearty support of all friends of good government.
 re Job introduced a resolution requiring that all printed matter used during the campaign shall have the label of the printers union on it, and the resolution was u9imously adopted.
