I ALBUQUERQUE, Dec. 20--1hG secret Of
the DemoCracy's proposition to c0mpro-
mise IN the organization of the legislative
assembly may be found in the fact that
the gang Of political tricksters in control
ofthe party seems to be unable to "work'
Romulo Martinez, OF Santa Fe county
He declines to be governed by their die
tates. | am informed that at Il recent
conference OF Democratic leaders here
W. B. Childors was plainly and pointedly
informed by Martinez that he would not
submit to the methods undertaken to
provide him q seat in the legislative
council when he felt that he was honest
ly and fairly defeated il the race for the
Office by T, 3. Catron.
"If you can show me where an
wrong, and would be justified in making
fight for the place. SAID Martinez to
Childers, 'then [ will stay with YOU and
contest to the end for my rights; but you
have failed to do this. | have made up
my mind that | was fairly defeated and
am going to accept the consequences. /
will make no contest for place to which
the people have not called me"
Your correspondent learns that it was
a short time after this conversation that
| the compromise plan was hatChed up
here.
1t may also be remarked that there is
spirit of decided meekness visible on the
Democratic horizon here OF late Many
of the leaders and legal advisers appear
to think they have gone little too lar in
| advising the course they have and which
has been pursued in Santa Fe and Taos
counties in an attempt to ride down the
rights OF voters and steal the organiza-
ton of the next Legislature. They feel
that in Santa Fe county particularly
great deal Of bad blood has been aroused,
and they fear trouble, realizing the firm
stand which has been taken by Republi-
cans in that county to maintain their
rights and those of majority OF the
voters.
Some OF the legal lights ou the Demo
cratic committee here are becoming CON
vlnced that the contempt shown by the
Santa Fe legal advisers and some of the
candidates on the Democratic tickets in
Santa Fe and Taos county for the orders
OF the district court, are returning to
plague their party and are injuring the
Democracy OF the territory. A prominent
banker here and a man who has put up
literally for the cause OF the Democracy
80 far, told me the other day that he was
disgusted with the lawless actions of the
Democratic bosses in your county, that he
had told the Democratic leaders here so,
and that he was done putting up any
more money for the Democratic commit
tee.
The leaders here have also found that
Sec. Thomas possesses too much firm
ness for them; information has reached
them that Gov. Prince believes that the
secretary acted properly and lawfully in
the appointments he made as acting
governor, and proposes to sustain that
action. They are also becoming some.
