OUR COMING OFFICIALS.

ii home man is appointed judge of
this district, Judge VIM. II. Whiteman
has the best show. He will be the choice
OF large majority of the lawyers and
people of the district. Albuquerque Citi-
zen.
We have heard it asserted that Judge
c. C. Strawn, president of the Springer
Land association, is candidate for gov
ernor of New Mexico. Judge Strawn
lives in Pontiac, ILL.,, and has an office in
that place and Chicago. We do not be-
lieve that he is an applicant for the posi-
ton, but if he Is and we can not have a
citizen of the territory for governor, we
we would rather it would be Governor
Strawn than any one else so far heard of.
Springer Stockman.
Col. A. L. Morrison is in the field for
governor. He is strong candidate and
may secure the position. During the re-
cent campaign Col. Morrison rendered
effective service to the Republican party
in New York.-Albuquerque Citizen.
The name of Gen. E. L. Bartlett, OF
Santa Fe, is mentioned for the position OF
surveyor general Gen. Bartlett's recon-
mendations are of the highest character,
and when President Harrison is selecting
his appointees from the territory he could
not do better than place the general in
this important position. Rio Grande Re-
publican.
W. L. Stevens, editor of the Northwest
New Mexican, published at Chama, N.
NJ, we understand, will be candidate for
the Office of timber inspector. He is one
of the old timers of this country and will
make good officer for the position he
asks for. He is true Republican to the
| backbone and has done much for his
party. His claims should be recognized
by the new administration coming into
power.-Antonito Sentinel
Major w. II. II. Llewellyn is meeting
with very general Endorsement for the
territorial marshalship. The newspapers,
even those supporting other men, all
speak favorably OF him.-Las Cruces
Democrat.
The Indiana friends OF D. P. Carr, of
Georgetown, are urging him for governor
of New Mexico. If Mr.. Carr makes an
effort for the place he will have strong
backing from several states.-Silver City
Enterprise.
The Albuquerque Citizen OF last Satur-
day, said: ''The following is partial
list of the candidates for governor OF New
Mexico, either of whom would make
better governor than an outside carpet
bag appointee: Z. S. Slower, Judge w.
C. Hazeldine, Albuquerque; NJ. S. Otero,
Bernalillo; T. w. Heman, White Oaks
what's the matter with Mai Cafirey
j. W. Dryer, Ration; A. J. Fountain,
Las Cruces 7. D. Burns, Rio Arriba; N.
GALES, Sierra; w. w. Griffin, S. B.
Axtell, Santa Fe, to which the Gallup
Register begs leave to add the name of
Col. Frank Chavez, OF Valencia county,"
Albeit our pretty name appears in the
above meritorious list, we have no hesita-
ton in expressing our preference for and
Dwyer, will be the next governor Of New
Mexico. Stick q pin there.--Lincoln
County Leader.
Mr.. Richard Mansfield White, of Sierra
county, would make good governor for
the territory. lie is thorough Republican,
and though comparatively young he has
resided in the territory number of years
and is well acquainted with our needs and
resources he is intelligent, we'll educated,
energetic and honest. Unlike many OF
the older aspirants who have been promi-
nently named, he would 90 into office
free from the burdens OF faction which
will ruin any party, as its arrogance is
sure to be displayed in the grasping of all
honor and profit. Mr.. White, not fac
ton, would be governor Of the territory
should he be appointed. Silver City SEN
tinel.
The New MEXICAN suggests Judge Will
liam G. Hazledine, OF Albuquerque for
appointment as one of the judges of the
supreme court of New Mexico. Judge
Hazledine is III every way qualified for
the judgeship, but he should be given
something better. If New Mexico re-
mains territory Gen. Harrison, after his
Inauguration, could make no better selec-
ton than Judge Hazledine for governor
Of the territory.-Denver Republican.
