To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
DEAR SIR: | find the most difficult
objection to combat in the matter Of New
Mexico becoming a state, tie fact that
the territory for the past three congress
ional terms has sent Democratic repre-
sentative to congress, while at the same
time its legislatures have been largely
Republican. With this contradiction on
the face of New Mexico's politics it is
difficult to gain aid from the workers OF
either political party; both are afraid Of
us.
Now we know in New Mexico that the
territory is Republican, and if we want
help we must prove it this fall by sending
Republican to congress and carrying the
constitution before the people. We must
put our shoulders to the wheels of the
Mexico wagon and get it out OF the Demo
cratic mud. Then we will have all the
help we want for statehood and progress
Yours truly,
RICHARD MANSFIELD WHITE.

Sam Derrick, q stockman in the west.
ern part of Socorro county, is spoken Of
for the Democratic nomination for sheriff
in that county.
1t seems Jose Martinez, of TERRA
Amarillo, is being talked of by the
"dems" of this county for sheriff. "Jose
has stuff, you know, which he got out Of
the court house contract while county
comm issioner. "-Chsma New Mexican,
There appears little knowledge as yet,
as o.who will be the Republican candi-
dates before the voters of the county this
fall. The New MEXICAN keeps the pub.
lie well informed on Democratic politics,
but says nothing about who are to be its
own party standard bearers. -Cerrillos
Rustler.
Hon. Tranquilino Luna, who is making
very excellent record as sheriff and col
lector of Valencia county, and who will
very likely be renominated by the Repub-
licans of that county this fall, will, if SO
renominated, be elected by very hand
some majority. He is getting more popu-
lar than ever and making friends daily.
How would John Gray do for probate
Judge? X n The New MEXICAN can
scarcely nominate Democrats fast enough.
X Abe Gold is looming up as a
candidate for assessor on the Democratic
ticket. Frank Chaves will be
nominated for the office of sheriff, with
out doubt, by the Democrats. -Cerrillos
Ruster.
The Enterprise is privately informed
that Mr.. ID. 2. Carr will not be q candi-
date for legislative honors this year. He
favors the nomination and election OF
Col. J. A. Lockhart, of Deming. Mr..
Lotkhart has not as yet announced him
self as candidate, but it is understood
that he is in the hands of his friends
Silver City Enterprise.
The Santa Fe Sun wants to choke Col.
A. L. Morrison off by applying the civil
service gag The Democracy had moth
ing to say when Col. Tom Smith was
letting off his rebel yell and Judge Hen
derson was heading Democratic pro-
cession. Col. Morrison must be making
himself too numerous to suit our
Democratic friends. San Marcial Re-
porter.
The Silver City Enterprise announces a
good many candidates for office, Repub-
liCans as well as Democrats, and gives
them all good send off, regardless Of
politics, so that things will be all right in
the future at any rate. VIM. Christman
is an Independent candidate for sheriff
the present probate Judge, w. q. Holman,
is candidate for reelection E. Slime
wants to be probate clerk again; A. b
Laird, who made good and honest sher-
| if during 1887 and 1888, is candidate
for nomination by the Republicans again
for that office; D. G. Hobart and s. II.
McAninch want the nomination for asses
sor, that is if either one of them can get
| it several other gentlemen are still to be
heard from. The New MExICAN's infor-
nation is that Hon. j. J. Bell will very
likely receive the Democratic nomination
for the council, although the Ross gang is
working against him.
TAKE HEED OF THIS.
The New MEXICAN is informed that
lodges of knights of Labor have been Or
ganized in this county one in Galisteo,
one at Rocky Corral and one in precinct
No. above the mill. J. II. M. Alarid is
believed to be the head OF the lodge at
Galisteo. There is no objection to lodges
of Knights Of Labor; people have per-
feet and absolute right to do as they
please in such matters. But people have
no right to commit unlawful acts under
any guise or name, be it Knights Of Labor,
White Caps or any other. 1t might just
as we'll be understood right here, that no
unlawful ordinations will be permitted
from the word go. Those who engage
in them must take the consequences.
The men who head the movement and
who want to use it for political purposes
and 10 aid in their election to office on the
Democratic ticket are well known and
they will be held responsible, not only by
public opinion, but the law. If the peace
officers do not do their duty, there is
way of removing them from Office by ju-
dicial process and that will be invoked,
whenever and wherever necessary and
speedily at that. The law-abiding cit.
