THE silence observed by Mr.. Antonio
Joseph, the candidate Of the Democratic
bosses and who runs for congress upon
an anti-land grant platform, concerning
his claims to about 100000 acres OF land
in Taos and Rio Arriba counties under a
Mexican land grant title, is very express
sive and eloquent. He dare not say
very much about The matter; he is afraid

THE voters and citizens Of New Mexico
had best remember on election day, that
the Democratic candidate, Antonio Jo-
seph, has no influence in Washington
now, and will have none in the coming
congress- A vote for him is vote thrown
away, a vote for Otero will do the terri
tory some good.

THE debt of Santa Fe county now
amounts to about $5O5, 900; if the gang
ticket should by any mishap be success
full, the debt at the end of 1892 will
amount to S6O0,00O the interest on that
debt now amounts to about $1,000 per
year; fine invitation that for capital to
invest here Is it not?

The gang spent only $1,000 on yester-
terday's election in this county. Where
did the money came from, and whose
moneyowas it? Guess, if you can? You
will not have to guess far or much.

If the dishonest men on the Demo-

The Republicans of Sierra county have
nominated a good ticket and one that
will, in all human probability, be elected +;
our advices are that Sierra county is good
for $50 and more majority for M. S. Otero.
His majority in that county two years ago
was forty-eight.

The Effect.


BY the time this issue of the Citizen
reaches The public the question of state
or no state, will have been virtually set
tied by the people of New Mexico, and
upon that decision, whether for or
against, will rest the fate of this territory
for at least ten years to come.
If the result of this days work has
been in favor of statehood and progress,
New Mexico from this time forth will
experience new era of development
and advancement, aud will be regarded
by the rest of the country as worthy to
be recorded among the slsterhood of
states; people who are accustomed to
the privileges and advantages of
various concomitants of modern civiliza-
ton, will understand from verdict in
favor of statehood under the liberal and
progressive constitution which we are
voting on to-day, that the people of New
Mexico have a correct idea of the wants
of a community in this age of the world,
and are worthy to be considered part of
the American people, and that their ter
ritory is entitled to a place as state in
the American union.
If, on the other hand our verdict to-
day shall be against the constitution and
progress, we may make up our minds to
remain in our present territorial condition
for at least the remainder of this century,
and to be regarded by the whole civilized
world as the only community under
the American flag which considers
itself incompetent to exercise the
rights and duties of state.
And we may rest assured that congress
will then take the matter in hand, and
give us some legislation which the oppo-
nents of the state movement may not
relish. The chances are ten to one that
tine Perkins school bill and the Stewart
English bill will both be laws, and be in
force in New Mexico, before the end of
twelve months from this time. The
anti-state and anti-progress journals and
speakers have tried to make it appear
that this Stewart bill is merely 'cam-
paign dodge" and that there is nothing
in it, but now, when the election is vir-
tually over, and there is nothing to be
made by misrepresentation, we want to
call the attention of the people of this
territory to the fact that this Stewart
bill is no joke, but very serious matter,
and We predict that just as surely as the
sun goes down tonight on majority in
this territory against the constitution, the
Stewart bill or one essentially the same,
will be law of the United States before
the 4th of next March, when the present
congress expires.
Member OF congress have no right to
assume that they know us better than We
know ourselves, and if we have declared
by our votes to-day that we are incom-
petent to assume the responsibilities Of
self government, we have no right to
complain if congress takes us at our word
and does for us those things which we say
we are not competent to do for ourselves.

1t is we'll known fact that he is not

upon the demand of his party, and being
loyal to its principles, he has accepted
the nomination. 1t is truly case Of
1.-The office seeking the man"
Two years ago, when called upon by
the Republican convention at Socorro, he
accepted and made the race, but was de-
feated by the most nefarious designs of a
willy enemy. The POLLS in several coun-
ties were packed with deputy United
States marshals, the people overawed,
and Otero was defeated by small ma
jority, although it was clear that with q
fair vote he would have been elected.
1t was right, it was just, honorable and
patriotic that the Republican party should
again give Otero the nomination, and ev-
cry voter who believes in the principles
OF party, who believe in honest cleo
tons and protection to American labor,
should do their utmost to give Otero 8
clean and large majority.
He did not seek the position, his wishes
have not been consulted but the people
have demanded his services, and like
patriot he will submit to the inevitable
and become the representative OF New
Mexico in the SD congress of the United
States.
Two years ago Sierra county gave Oterc
fifty majority; this year he should have
200 majority from the silver-seamed, gold
lined mountain county of Sierra. King

A TRUE PA THEINDER.

In little village In Oregon died
last week n man whose memory ran
back to the time when this entire
North west was an almost trackless
wilderness. His name was William
Allen, and he was probably the old
est pioneer of the Northwest, hav-
ing spent the greater portion of his
long life Of 05 years In this section of
the United States.
In 1923 he crossed tho Rocky
fountains to the Red river, making
the trip entirely alone, traverslng u
region the home of hostile Indians,
and encountering on the journey
many difficulties and perils. Years
after his return he saw the first
steamer which ever fioated on its
waters ascend the Columbia river in
the early '30's, and, as the years went
by, watched how this mighty river
became the highway for magnifi-
cent fleets of boats. On ground
which he first viewed covered with
the prlmeval forest he lived to see
great cities spring up as II by magic,
and waterfalls he has beheld, as ma
lures hand had them formed ages
ago, he saw harnessed and cribbed,
and made to turn the wheels of hun
dreds of mills and factories.
Those who have lived in the
Northwest for but a few years can
hardIy copcei va pf tho liypa led by
those who first came to this coun-
try, and Of whom there are but few
left to tell the story Of the strange
and exciting, and often perilous ad-
ventures experienced by the path
finders and Others who laid the
foundations for the great common
wealths that have since sprung into
existence In this far corner of our
common country.

THE HENR Y GEO R q Il
TICKET.

RI Henry George, Edward Bel
lamy, Brick Pomeroy and Roger q.
Mills were entrusted with the task
of preparing u political platform,
they would certainly stir up some
such II hodgc-podge as that prepared
by two or three agitators Monday
evening, as an annex to the demo
cratic platform, and audaciously
sty led the expression of the voice of
labor.
The convention throughout be-
trayed the warmest sympathy with
the democracy. II may be surpris-
ing to few who are not familiar
with the character of this so-called
labor movement to behold this APP
parcntly shameful alliance. The
democratic party, for nearly n CEN
tury, debased American labor by
forcing 1t to the level of slavery, and
since the war 1t has ever posed as
the party of free trade, the party
that seeks with all its power To re-
duce American labor To the level Of
the pauper labor of the old world.
If any doubt had remained in the
mind of the general public as to the
absence of the true friends of labor
from last nights convention, 1t
surely will be dispelled by the free
trade utterances of the agitator plat
form.
Since the convention last night
saw fit to indorse n number of nomi-
nees upon the democratic ticket, 1t
now remains to be seen whether
those candidates will oven tacitly
permit themselves to be committed
to n platform that calls for the abo-
lltion Of private ownership in land,
aside from u number of other i'm
practicable longings of the discon.
tented i'm all parts Of the land.
We shall see how the democracy
of Spokane will relish this Henry
George sideshow.

JUDGE MA VIEW IVEEP.S.

Judge Mayhem, of Idaho, Is one
Of the most magnanimous and sym
pathetic gentlemen that ever ran
for office. A REVIEW reporter called
upon Mr.. Mayhem in order to in
form the faithful democracy Of Idaho
regarding the behavior of their gal
liant leader in his hour of defeat. and
here is what he got for his pains:
at is my opinion that Shoup and Nc
Connell nrc going to be the men. Fred
Dubois, think, will be shamefully
beaten by Mcconnell while Clagett is
already laid away on the topmost shelf"
Instead of bidding for sympathy,
or dwelling upon the way he was
"shamefully beaten" by Willis
Sweet, Mr.. Mayhew's great heart
went out in pity to Dubois and
Clagett, who singularly enough are
wasting their pity upon Mr.. May
hew, and sailing along toward the
senatorial harbor with the most per-
feet composure md hope.
Little did the general public ever
believe that the political millen-
mum was 50 near at hand. Yet
here 1t Is, spreadingits white wings
over Idaho, and promising to ex-
tend to every section Of this broad
land. Already Idaho politicians
have arrived at the beatific stage
where all their grief is bestowed
upon the beaten opposition, their
own losses being swallowed with an
angelic smile. This Is certainly IA
close approach TO the customs OF
that fablcd land where everybody
is seeking to make sacrifices to his
neighbour; whore wealth Ia II dis
grace and poverty an honor; where
the millionaires are social Outcasts,
and the paupers are princes.
If the Idaho politicians go on
sympathizing for their opponents
and making light OF their own
