Resolved, By the Republicans OF VA
Iencia county in convention assembled,
that they declare fealty, loyalty and ad-
herence to the principles Of the Republi-
can party-the party Of freedom, of free
homes and OF universal education through
out the land as also of home rule.
Resolved, That we endorse the admin
istration of President Harrison, which
has thus far fulfilled its pledges, for the
silver bill, being the nearest that could be
obtained, Notwithstanding the captious
distractions OF the Democracy.
Resolved, That we thank congress for
| having so modified the law of October
1888, which reserved public lands west OF
the Tooth meridian from settlement, SO
that now the settler upon such lands may
take them up and perfect his title under
the public land laws OF the United States,
and thus but for the opposition of the
| Democrats in congress and the country,
| that Infamous law would have been en-
tirely repealed
Resolved, That the Republicans OF
Valencia county thank Speaker Thomas
B. Reed for the manly and judicious stand
he has maintained while speaker of the
present house OF representatives OF the
United States. Thus preventing improper
obstruction to legislation, and facilitating
such legislation as was demanded by the
interests OF the country at the earliest DOS
sible moment, commensurate with reason
and good judgment
Resolved, That We petition congress to
enact an equitable land bill for the settle
ment of the private land claims of the
territory OF New Mexico in accordance
with the letter and spirit of the treaty of
Guadalupe Hidalgo, thus rendering justice
to the people interested, and honorably
complying with solemn treaty stipulations
with sovereign nation.
Resolved, That we petition the congress
OF the United States to enact law with
out delay to admit New Mexico into the
sisterhood of states. We feel that New
Mexico is entitled to statehood on account
of treaty OF stipulations; on account OF
capacity and capability for self govern
ment as witnessed by her large and intel
ligent population and her many resources,
agricultural, grazing, commercial and
mineral.
Resolved, further, That the delegates
elected by this convention to the Repub-
lican territorial convention are instructed
to vote as unit for such candidate for
delegate as may in their Judgment be the
best representative man and the most
available candidate OF the Republican
party OF New Mexico.
