The Ortez Nining Grant.

DENVER, COL, October ga Santa
Fe, N. M, special says: In the District
Court today Judge Whitman handed
down a decision in the case of @. II.
Gildersleeve, of Santa Fe, VS.. the New
Mexico Mining Company, denying the
complainant's application for rehear-
ing. The case involves one-fourth in
terest in the celebrated Ortez mining
grant, which is one Of the richest mineral
tracts in the West and valued at $3,00O,-
600. The suit has been Bit
terly contested, and nearly a year
ago Judge Reeves, of Texas, then
on the bench here returned decision in
favor of the company. 1t was this de-
cree that Gildersleeve sought to reverse
by asking for rehearing on the ground
that the court erred in allowing certain
testimony by Stephen B. Elkips and by de-
Gliding that the will of j. 7. Ortiz and
Marguerite Montoya was valid, while
Gildersleeve claims it was forgery.

in the manufacturing centers, where the
Republicans claim to be 80 strong. And
yet, when one looks at the matter dis
passionately, it is not 80 very strange,
after all. When the workingman hears
a terrible din about protection to
American labor, and yet sees the manu-
facturers importing multitudes of cheaply
paid laborers from Italy and Hungary,
he soon comes to have realizing sense
of the farce which the Republican lead
ers are enacting. From the strong
points of protection he hears the signal
for lock-outs and strikes. and he is be-
ginning to see that the real security for
labor lies in free raw material and in ex-
panded foreign markets, which are inn
possible under the Republican war tariff.
He at last realizes that as long as the
market for American manufactures is
confined to the United States there is
liable to be overproduction at any time.
While his daily experience is converting
the workingman to Democracy, the most
logical intellectual processes are having
the same effect on the most highly edu-
Gated men in New England, a fact which
is shown, amongst other things, from the
following Boston dispatch, which is
authentic:
The Massachusetts Democracy rejoice
in a notable addition to their ranks, in
the person of President Eliot of Harvard.
He made public declaration Of his affili-
alton at the Bay State club dinner yester-
day. He said that henceforth he was a
Democrat, not only because the prin-
ciples of the party were in harmony with
his own convictions, but because of the
bad record of the Republican party.
He was especially warm in eulogy of
President Cleveland, whose Admins
trstion he contrasted with that of Har-
rison. He said there could be no COM
parison between the two.
Speaking of State issues, he criticised
Candidate Brackett's refusal to meet his
opponent, Russell in joint debate. Both
we're Harvard men, and he regretted that
any Harvard man should refuse chal-
lenge such as Abraham Lincoln had not
regarded as beneath him to accept.
President Eliet's course has aroused
great enthusiasm among the Bay State
Democrats,
