Las CIT cEs. \. NJ, July -, 1SS9---
Gentlemen; we are all ut present can
didates for the position OF United States
marshal for this territory, and rs such
address YOU this letter. requesting a reply
at Il very early date,
have become impressed with the I'M
portNnce OF the recognition OF the native
population of this territory, in the dis
tribution Of federal patronage, and ii
seems to me that the most proper thing
to do is for US all to Withdraw from the
contest for said position, and unite upon
Hon. Trinidad Romero, OF Mora county,
who is Il candidate for the Office.
Iou know, gentlemen, that the mar
sh4lship is at present held by Mr.. Mar
tiuez, u native citizen OF this territory,
and it would be most graceful thing to
have q native citizen appointed his sue
cessor.
'll 1N'ilttIO, as We All hltpNs Iit'N * y
resented this territory Ill the congress Of
the United States. speaks both English
and Spanish, is an educated gentleman.
IS liberal in his views, especially on the
subject OF public education, and is one Of
our best citizens and truest Republicans,
and us such is both competent and
worthy.
1t seems to me, gentlemen, as the
situation now stands, that We should take
the step nov propose. OF course do
not desire IN this letter TO give other rea-
Sons which might seem to dictate this
course; you will doubtless admit that
there are many.
| lave this day written Mr.. Romero, ut
his home at Wagon Mound, forwarding
him y letter which | authorize him 70
send to The attorney general. In said
letter | Withdraw from the contest ana
recommend his appointment, on condition
that Won gentlemen do likewise and
send him 4 similar letter Of withdrawal
and recommendation
In case the administration should not
see fit to appoint MIR. Romero, then tie
matter shall stand as at present, SO lar ~
our candidacy is concerned.
will be glad TO hear from you as to
whether yea have forwarded such letter
or not, and trust that YOU will not cor
slider me presumptlous in making tins
recommendation as | regard each Of you,
gentlemen, as personal friend, and feel
at liberty to make the suggestion in Qucs-
ton.
In conclusion, gentlemen, allow me to
say that | believe the interests and wei
fare OF the Republican party OF this terri
tory are above our own individual inter
ests; believe you will agree with me in
this, and this is my principal reason for
making this proposition at this time.
Mr.. Romero's appointment will, in my
Judgment, strengthen the Republican
party in this territory. NeryrespectlulIY,

UFFlCIAL AND OTHERWISE.
The county convention Of Socorro to
name delegates TO the state constitutional
convention meets to-day.
1t is rumored that new set Of delegates
to the constitutional convention will be
placed in nomination next week at Las
Vegas.
The delegates to the Republican league
meeting got away for Albuquerque last
night Larkin G. Read went as proxy
for Ascension Silva.
Las Vegas has nearly gone crazy about
securing four acres rs y donation TO locate
the insane asylum at that place. Ii you
do not want it just say so, md AlbuQuer-
que will quickly give twenty acres for the
site. -Albuquerque Citizen.
The Mora county people have held
their convention and nominated delegates
to the state constitutional convention.
1t was a joint affair OF 'the people" and
the delegates named are: VIM. kroenig,

Some Of the people at Las Vegas are
very much worked up over the fact that
none of the property holders will come
forward and donate land rs 4 site for the
proposed territorial insane asylum. 1t is
said the matter will 90 by default ii the
land is not selected inside OF the coming
sixteen days
