RATos. New Mexico, May 10, 1885,
A reporter of THE GAZETTE met Gov
ernor Ross at Ration tonight, on hls ar
rival in this city. and interviewed him
on the various subjects in which the
people of the territory are interested
and of which the governor has full
knowledge. he is looking we'll and OF
course in most happy frame Of mind
resulting from the complete victory he
has gained over the crowd which has SO
preslstentlv and bitterly fought his con-
frmation as governor.
Governor koss said to The GAZETTE
reporter: II now propose 10 20 TO work
for'the benefit OF the territory. | have
strends to reward, but no enemies to
punish" The governor is positive that
all the nominees to the territorial offices
viii be confirmed, He said the fight on
General Julian is weakening and his
and all other combinations are soon to
follow
While IN Washington the govern or
went before the committee on territoI
les and had free and frank conversa-
tioh. He said he had came To face
whatever charges might haye come IN,
and ask that prompt settlement OF his
case be made. He asked no man to
vote for his confirmation. but simply
wanted his case settled. Within fifteen
minutes after leaving the room the COM
mittee voted favorable report for his
confirmation.
The governors reason for remaining
in Washington was to secure the con
firmatlon OF the entire list Of federal ap-
pointees for the territory, and he was
glad 10 say that every man will be con-
hrmed within reasonable time. The
governor says the president and cabi-
net take great interest in New Mexico,
and sll express themselves well satis-
fed. with the courss things are taking
here.
The confirmation strengthens the
governor and he says he will now be
able to accomplish much good woork
that he was unwilling to undertake be-
fore.
The governors idea of reapportion-
ment is not for the purpose Of changing
msjorities, but TO base the representa-
tion strictly upon the population Of the
territory. No chsnges are to be made
except where demanded In justice to
localities now not having the repre-
sentation 10 which they are entitled.
He il not confident of securing the

ST. LOUIS, April 15.-'I suppose after
this that no more will be said about Mr..
Powderly not sympathiZing with the
strike" said Committeeman Hays yester-
day, after reading the Powderly letter.
The circular will bring. in two days,
SO, 600 to the executive committee, who
will receive the money, and the cOntribu-
tiOnS will keep on rolling in as long as we
want them. We can draw from the reserve
fund now in sums of $40, 600, SIS, 900 or
$4,000 as we need it, and pay it back
from the contributions. | think it will
hardly cost us more than 500, 600 to carry
the strike until it ends, but We'll spend
every cent that is necessary"
"HOw is your money spent?"
''It goes directly to the strikers through
their assemblies. The rent and board of
the single men is paid and the men with
families are paid what they need for cloth
ing rent and groceries. The money is
furnished them directly in some cases and
III others their bills are paid"
''HOw do you help those who are not
Knights of Labor?"
In the same way. 1t makes no differ
ence whether or not they are Knights of
Pabor if they are out with us. We have
plenty of money to keep all of the men
who will help us in the strike. More than
this. we intend to pay men for not working,
who are now at work and who have been
forced to 90 to work since the strike began,
and who, not being Knights of Labor,
thought that they could not depend upon US
Tor assistance"
