has not yet been named. 1t appears to
be conceded that the candidate must come
from the county OF Bernalillo. ltso, very
good. There is a citizen in that county
who would make most admirable dele
gate. By reason OF his sterling integrity
high character and ability he is peculiarly
qualified for the position. | am confident
that if he is nominated the whole party
would unite on him and elect him by a
handsome majority. The county Of
Valencia would give him an old fashioned
Republican majority. The name of this
distinguished citizen is William G. Halle
dine, of Albuquerque. AMADo CHAvEs'
REPUBLICANS OF SAN MIGUEL.
The Republicans Of San Miguel county
met in convention at Las Vegas, on Sat
urday. 1t was rousing convention.
Eugenio Romero was chosen permanent
chairman. The following delegates were
elected to attend the Albuquerque con-
vention; Henry Coors, Frank Forsvthe,
William Franks, Romulo Ulibarri, w.
D. kistler, j. W. Mclaughlin, Adelaide
Gonzales, Jose Santos Esquibel, Eugenio
Romero, q. w. Prichard, Placido San
doval, Patricio Gonzales, Manuel O.
de Baca, Gregorio Varela, Leandro San
chez, Margsrito Romero, Lorenzo
Lopez.
A committee on resolutions was APP
pointed, and they reported through their
chairman, Hon. &. W. Prichard, the fol-
lowing which were adopted:
We, the Republicans of San Miguel
county in convention assembled, do
hereby renew our allegiance and fidelity
to the great principles of the Republican
party.
We endorse the present national ad-
ministration in its general policy, and
applaud the honest, patriotic course OF
the Republicans in congress for SO
amending their rules that legislation can
be enacted in spite of the discretionary
methods Of Democratic minority.
The silver and pension bills passed by
a Republican congress over Democratic
opposition meet with our hearty endorse
ment, and believing in the purity of the
ballot We favor the enactment of such
laws by congress as will protect every
American citizen in the sacred right Of
voting the ballot of his choice, and having
such ballot counted, as he votes.
The Republican party from its birth to
the present time has favored equal
rights to all persons. 1t has given the
homestead laws to the poor; has abol-
ished every species of slavery, and made
America in fact, as well as in name, the
home of the free.
The Republican party is a party of law
and order. Its history has been one OF
continued protection and preservation of
the personal and property rights of all
men before the law, therefore, as Repub-
licans we unqualifiedly condemn and de-
nounce all species of lawlessness per-
petrated by the White Cap organiza-
ton in this county under the leadership
and inspiration of worthless, but ambi-
tious leaders, whose aim is to ride into
political power on the backs of their I'M
fortunate dupes.
We sympathize with the Democrats of
off by their leaders, and merged into the
White Cap organization on the promise
that there Is to be division of the spoils
Of office under White Cap direction and
supervision.
We favor statehood and therefore favor
the election of a Republican delegate, to
congress, as against the present delegate.
Mr. Joseph, whose continued course has
been to favor statehood one day and OPP
pose it the next.
We deprecate and condemn the con-
duct of certain persons in this county
who have heretofore pretended to be Re-
publicans, who are now engaged in abet-
ting the acts Of lawless organization,
believing, as We do, such acts areI.unbe-
coming to all good Republicans.
Several eloquent speeches were made,
and general good feeling prevailed. The
convention was success. There were
some delegates in the convention who for
the first time are working with the Re-
publicans.
The White Cap party is dropping.
ROSS EMPTY WORDS.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.
DEMING, N. NJ, Sept. 6.-The ilustrious
editor of the "Deming Lighthead," in his
recent issue Of September 5, asked this
question: "Why don't the statehood-at-
people discuss the merits oftheir
constitution ?" l have heard
this question asked so often by the Illus
trious gentleman, that he has, in the Ian
guage of the boys on the streets, made
me fatigued. He says, come, gentlemen,
give US reasons, and he multplies that
word by three, why you insist upon the
adoption OF your constitution. Allow me
to state to you, Ex-Governor Ross, that it
is not our constitution. Allow me to
state to you, that it was constitution
framed for the benefit of the entire pub
lie, and that if it is incorrect in any mat
tiers, they have not yet been shown to me
by your newspaper, and that l think
your attack upon it at the present time,
as we'll as in the past, has been unguard-
ed. Every clause in the constitution was
particularly looked after. 1t remains for
the people, on the 9TH day of October, to
say whether they choose to adopt it, or
not.
If they do not so choose to do, they are
welcome to reject it. The question Of
politics does not enter into the matter at
all. Statehood is another question and
that may come up afterwards.
