THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE CONVENTION

The convention held yesterday in the
capital city of New Mexico, OF the Repub-
lican league clubs in New Mexico, was a
grand success. Forty-two clubs were rep
resented by $50 delegates. The credit for
this magnificent showing is largely due to
the organizing ability and untiring energy
OF the president OF the league, the Hon. A.
l.. Morrison. That the organ hatiOn will
do great work toward the success OF the
Republican party in the coming elections
can not be doubted, 1t has already been
very effective in the matter Of organizing
the Republican voters OF New Mexico into
compact and useful working clubs, and
will within The next two months no doubt
treble and quadruple its work. 1t was bot
fitting tribute, that Judge Morrison, who
has done so much toward its successful
career, should be reelected its president
The New MEyIcAS is especially gratiiied
at the resolutions passed unanimously by
that large body Of influential citizens on
yesterday. The Republicans OF New
Mexico, following the example OF the Re-
publicans all over this broad country,
from the waves of the Atlantic to the
waves of the Pacific, from the waves OF
the great lakes to the waves OF the gulf OF
Mexico, are always courageous and strong
in expressing their sentiments, The Re
publicans who assembled here yesterday
hailed from all sections OF New Mexico .
from the grassy plains OF Colfax to the
silver hills OF Grant, from the rolling
prairies OF the Pecos to the heavily tim
bered Iuni mountains; they with one
voice proclaimed and asserted, that the
Republicans OF New Mexico, individually !
and collectively, approved and Endorsed
the administration OF President Harrison
approved the recent legislation in
favor OF silver by a Republican !
congress; favored strongly and une-
quivocally protection to American
industries and the passage OF the
Mckinley bill condemned the passage of
the alien land bill passed under a Demo-
cratic administration, that keeps foreign
capital out OF New Mexico; demanded Of
the repeal of the law OF October
2, 1888, also passed by Democratic house
and approved by Democratic president, |
that prevents settlers from settling in the |
arid regions and obtaining title to their
claims condemn the present delegate |
Antonio Joseph, for gross neglect OF duty
and inetticiency demand full and fair and
Just elections and an honest count; call
upon congress for the speedy passage of
law providing for the settlement OF our
Spanish and Mexican grants and land |
titles; speak in the strongest and most |
fervent language in favor oil public schools, |
free American public schools, and univer-
sal education and call upon the people to
send friends OF the public school system
only to the legislature; indorse the action
Of congress in granting liberal pensions to
the soldiers OF the late war condemn the
Perkins bill as an unwarranted attempt
to interfere with New Mexco's local al
fairs; fully approve the September consti-
tuition and call upon the people to ratiiy
the same in the coming elections.
The action OF yesterdays convention is
one OF which not only the Republicans Of
New Mexico, but in fact all good, law
abiding and patriotic citizens, may well
be proud. A spirit Of progress, advance
ment, manhood, honesty and independ
ence was manifested, that augurs well for
the future of the territory and shows
plainly and beyond peradventure that the
people OF New Mexico are ready and fully
qualified for self government.
The New MEXICAN congratuates the
Republican party OF New Mexico and the
people Of the territory upon the success
Of the Republican league club movement,
which is proving of great benefit to New
Mexico and will prove Of still greater bene
fit in the future.
