assessment value of over $500, ,000
What brought this state of affairs about?

people, all OF whom have a direct inter

people are not governed by lot Of pollt-

state government bring bankruptcy, even
should it do this, do not let us longer stay
in the condition We are at present and
continue to 60 down.
When tie applause that followed Mr..
Catron's remarks had ceased, there were
loud calls for "the question" and the
chair then asked the sense of the conven-
ton on the adoption of the report of the
committee on resolutions.
Amid cheers the report was
ADOPTED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr.. Catron addressed the chair and
said that in accordance with the sugges-
ton of Mr.. j. NJ. II. Alarid he would
move that the secretaries of the conven-
ton be instructed to forward a copy of
this committees report to the president
and each of the members of the cabinet,
and to each of the members OF the United
! States senate and house of representa-
tives.
| Col. w. L. Rynerson said he was in
favor of the motion, but he thought the
convention should transmit copies OF this
important report through another source,
that it may go forth bearing with it the
official stamp of New Mexico, and he Of
fered an amendment that these copies be
supplied to the governor, and that he be
requested to transmit them to Washing
ton as provided in the above motion. Mr..
CatrOn accepted the amendment and it
was adopted
