THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.
To the Editor of the New Mexican.
SANTA FE, June II, '90.-As the con-
stitutional convention will reconyene on
the 18th Of August to make provision for
the submission Of state and legislative
tickets, with the constitution, at the No.
vember election, permit me to suggest
that the convention should also amend
the constitution go that the appointment
shall represent the population As disclosed
by the census now in progress (if the re-
suit of such census shall disclose neces-
sity therefor and also with reference to
the Counties Of Chavez and Eddy.
1t should also provide for an additional
judicial district. The considerations which
have led the U. s. congress to give us five
judicial districts should be conclusive with
the convention.
In none of the present judicial districts
is it possible to allow certain counties sui.
ficient time for the disposal of the civil
business. In my own county no term
can exceed nine working days, and
leave time for the court and its
officers to reach Sierra county, the
term succeeding. Important cases are
continued constantly because there liz not
time to try them. And l am advised
that this latter condition is common to all
the districts.
The bar will, am confident, agree that
it is not possible to divide New Mexico
into four judicial districts and give all the
counties the terms and time to which
they are Justly entitled. 1t may be said
that as under the constitution the district
judges will have no connection with the
supreme court, they will have in the time
now devoted to the duties Of the appellate
court, sufficient 10 afford relief. This is
not even at present the case and it must
be remembered that the civil business is
constantly and rapidly increasing.
In fact, the necessity il 30 obvious that
| am satiied that to call attention to
the matter is to secure the relief which
the situation demands.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
1t is the universal wish of the Republi.
cans of the territory that Hon. M. s.
Otero should head the ticket next fall for
delegate to congress- Citi-
zen.
The territorial Republican committee
did good days work at Santa Fe yester-
day. Excellent selections were made for
chairman and secretary, and plan Of
campaign adopted that will win next fall.
Albuquerque Citizen.
The Republican League club at Lincoln
is growing steadily. The officers of the
club are az follows: Jose Montana, presi-
dent; E. G. Nowlin, Demetrio Peres, vice.
presidents; George Sena, secretary, and
the executive committee consists OF Igna-
clio Sena, S. s. Terrell, Jesus Miraval,
Juan de Ia Cara and William o. Nor
man. The club will in all likelihood send
a representative to Santa Fe for the meet
ing July %, and will WELD considerable
influence at the coming elections in Lin
coin county. President Morrison of the
territorial league is aiding the club in
every way and as much a. possible.

treasury department at Washington the

A correspondent we'll posted and OBJ
serving writes to the New MEXICAN from
Lincoln county:
G. A. Richardson, of Roswell, wants Il

EFT, of White Oaks, may be nominated fol
the council.
Tom Eubanks has the pins set for 2.
delegates out OF 43 and is still trading
Langston will have Is if Henley dom
trade him out of at Nogal. The ole
anti Brent faction at the Oaks might no

chance. Tho alliance war-horse dom

tendent OF schools and will be nominated
q. r. Young would like . second term q
treasurer. Will Tsliaferro would like tt
be probate clerk his chances are doubt
full.
Tom Henley, present commissioner

appear unmistakably that there is moth
ing in the ticket for "eur Mexican
bretheren."
In Chavez county, Pat Garrett wants +

friends object. Look out for fun abou

1t appears in al parts Of the old Lin
coin county Democratic field that tn
chief defect of the 2Sth assembly Was it
failure to create more Offices. There sr'
more patriots than places.
