We are solid for statehood.
Territories are for the Navajo, Ute and
Apache. States fol the free born American.

R0USING RESOLUTIONS.
We, the members of the general convention OF
the Republican League of New Mexico assem-
bled al Santa Fe and representing the RepuDli-
can party of this territory:
Indorse the administration OF President Ilar-
rison and the platform and principles enuncia
ted by the national Republican convention at
Chicago in less, which led our party to victory
and wrested the control of the government from
that party which ignored the welfare ofthe peo-
pie and used its power for personal ends and Tor
the oppression OF the public;
We approve the legislation which has been
lately enacted by Republican congress for the
coinage OF 45OO,OOO ounces of silver monthly, ana
hail such legislation as the foIerunner TO Tree
coinage Of silver, which we urge be speedily
accomplished by congress.
We approve OF the pending legislation before
congress on the subject of the tariff as proposed
by the Mckinley bill and more particularly OF
those provisions therein providing for the pro-
lection OF our WOODEN interests wooden products
and our silver and lead output, these being pro
ducts produced by New Mexico to when the
proposed protection will add increased value
ana for " hich increase we will be indebted sole
| ly to the Republican party.
We charge upon the Democratic party the re-
| sponsbility for the enactment of the ante
alien law" some three years since, by means of
| which foreign capital has been forbidden TO
| come within our territories, and foreign invest
meuts have been turned away from all the terri
tories, thereby creating scarcity IN financial
resources, absolutely stopping traffic in our
mines and real estate, ana almost stagnatlng all
| other business. To this act alone we attribute
the depressed condition of business affairs in
| this and all other territories
We approve OF the pending legislation which
has lately been passed by a Republican majority
| in the senate of the United States, looking to
repeal OF that infamous law which reserves from
entry all arid lands in the territories for reser
voir purposes, which law was enacted by Dem,
| ocratie congress to foster the personal ENDS ana
private purposes of members OF that party, and
| Is in no manner consonant with the welfare ana
and which takes AWAY
