and to the point, treated the political at
fairs and conditions of the county and
territory fully, and explained the state
hood question thoroughly. Loud and
continued applause followed every speaker
and specially WAS every reference to the
state of New Mexico and the adoption OF
the constitution at the coming election re-

The meeting showed concluslvely that
the people Of Santa Fe understand the
political issues of the day fully and that
this county will be redeemed at the COM
ing election from Democratic dishonesty
and INSTRUMENTATION, that <bnest and
competent men will be elected to office
and that this city will give an overwhelm-
ing majority for the adoption Of the con-
stitution. The people are awakening to
the fact, that statehood will benefit every
property holder and tax payer, and that
it will bring with it many blessings, i'm
migrants and capital.
AT RATION.
A highly successful meeting of Repub-
licans took place at Ration on Saturday
last, among those present being Judge
Axtell, Gen. E. L. Bartlett and Hon. L.
A. Hughes. These gentlemen returned
home last night. While there they held
meeting OF the territorial committee and
agreed upon the call which appears on the
editorial page of this paper.
On Saturday evening spirited meeting
of the Republican voters of Ration was
held, some 200 being present. The
speeches were not Of political character,
being confined solely to the subject OF
statehood and the advantages thereof as
compared with territorial form of gov
eminent.
The success and prosperity Of Colorado
was cited as what state government will
bring to territory, and the comparison
proved happy one, having plainly a
good effect upon the representative bust
ness men present.
The executive committee will meet
again at Santa Fe on Saturday, Septem.
