did with the full sanction Of the party
constitution, entitled to respect, and In
a measure the obedience of the Con-
vention, but it afforded the only cvi-
dence whereby the Convention could
determine p,ima .facio the number OF
delegates each c;ab was entitled to.
The Tillman delegates withdrew
from the Convention because,
Chairman Gaillard in his honesty and
wisdom decided this question adverse
to their partisan views. Capt. Gail
lard was the lawfully elected and
qualified County Chairman, and as
such it was his duty to construe and
announce the party law as he under
stood it. This he did and for no other
reason the Tillmanites withdrew from
the meeting.
Surely no position could be more
untenable or less defensible. Many Of
! the more conservative of their mum.
Der, We feel sure, regard the action
taken as ha>ty and ill-cousidered.
We shall confidently expect thai
sober reflection will bring back ouI
friends to the authority of the party as
expressed in its constitution and voiced
by its mouthpiece, the County Chair
man. Capt. Gaillard is right, oul
friends are wrong. When they see il
we know they will be brave enough te
return to their former allegiance.

4. X. Elliott ottintroduced the follow
ing resolutions:
Whereas, at the call Of the County
Chairman and Executive Committee
of the Democratic party of Fairfield
County, delegates from the various
clubs assembled in the Court House on
Saturday August 2, 1890, forming the
Couaty Convention; and whereas, in
accordance with the constitution of
the party, State and County, a report
from the Executive Committee on the
enrolment and representation to
which each club is entitled was pre-
sented as the basis of temporary
organization; and whereas the County
Chairman ruled that this report was
cons6CGtionalIy the only proper me-
thod of determining the temporary
organisation; and whereas q number
of delegates to the Convention refused
to be bound by this ruling of the
County Chairman and withdrew from
the Convention.
Be is resoloed by the Democatic
Convention Of the County of Fairfield
That the action of the County Chair
man is hereby unanimously sustained
and confirmed, and that we the mem
bers of this Convention do hereby
declare our intention now and always
to adhere to the constitutions of tht
Democratic party as that law IN accorC
with which the wishes OF, the people
are to be regulated and ascertained.
Resolced, That we deplore the &C
ton of the Withdrawing delegates. as
hasty, inconsiderate and tending tt
disrupt the party, and we trust tina
they will realize that the unity of tht
party is of more importance thai
mere temporary success and return t.
their allegiance.
Major Woodward, in speaking t
these res oiusions, indicsted = mos
ardent desire that all things that coult
be done consistent to our position
shOnid be G,ne To induce the with
drawing members to return.
Mai Woodward made M otioN to the
effect that committee be appointed b!
the Convention to confer with tn
delegates who had Withdrawn with ;
view of coming to an understanding
by which they could be induced II
return to the Convention. This mo
ton caused considerable discussion
but the sentiment Of the Convention
was 80 strongly opposed to anything
that looked like compromise that tn
motion was withdrawn.
The following resolution was passed
Resolred, That the Jefferson Aonti
cello Club and the Hampton Club o:
Longtewn be admitted MS regula
Democratic Clubs, but not to partici
pate in this Convention.

Some one, the reporter could not

SEATED, was also carried by acclsmat;oD.
The club from Monticello was also
admitted and the jefferson Democratic

The chair in pnttipg the euestio n

up to a fever heat. And the house con,
ferees now come in and do just as Powell
and his crowd wish them to do, that is
demand the continued segregation Of all
arid lands until Powell can complete his
so-caled surveys. This will require years
and millions OF money-a fat job fol
Powell and of no earthly benefit to the
present generation of settlers.
Hence we say the senate is right it is
working for the immediate good of the
settler, and it isn't yet too late for the
western people to flood the house with
petitions demanding that the wishes o.
the senate conferees be acceded to. Lei
the people arouse themselves. New
Mexico has too much at stake not to take
an earnest part in pursusdng the mem
hers Of the house that they are in error
Circulate the petitions and lose no time in
getting them on to Washington.

THE bosses and county boodlers, who
are running the Democratic party in this
county, are assaling District Attorney
TwitChell because he is making deter
mined effort to have the cowardly and
bloody murder of Faustin Ortiz invest-
gated, and because his endeavor so to do
has so far cost the territory few hun
dred dollars in witness fees. District At
torney Twitchell will receive the COM
mendation OF all good and law abiding
citizens in his course. For the other class
he need not care. He is not IN office for
the purpose of making friends with law
breakers. He is in office representing
the people in the matter of investigating
crime, bringing the perpetrators thereof
to light and punishment. Let him do his
duty honestly and fearlessly, as he has
started out to do.

THE CASE OF SHERIFF CHAVEZ

Some of our Democrat friends around
here are INDUCING in a good deal of plea
yunish and senseless talk concerning the
case against Sheriff Chavez for assault on
Frank Borrego, when the latter was in
jail, the sheriif's prisoner and under his
protection. They are pleased to call that
"poitiCal persecution" There is not
much to be said 10 men, who would hold
such opinions. There is but one thing
that will change them, and that would
be, being arrested some time or another
and under the charge OF an officer,
handcuiled and in Jail, and then have the
latter Jump on them and assault them ;
such a proceeding might change their
opinions. Nothing short of personal vio-
| lence will.
If an indictment against an officer, (the
chief peace officer of county, sworn to
protect the body and life Of prisoner at
all hazards and to preserve the peace,
for assaulting a deienseless prisoner in
his charge is political persecution" the
more of that We have, the better. 1t seems
to be badly needed in fact it seems to be
very badly needed 1t is astonishing
that men should so far forget all manhood
and should so sink the American feeling
of Justice and fairness as to defend such
conduct on the part of an officer. AS we
have said, the only way to convince such
men, is to give them dose of that sort
Of medicine, and they would then not
sing so loud.
Not only was the sherlf's proceeding
in this case in the highest degree unlaw-
full, repre- hensble and detrimental to the
public good, but it was aggravated by the
fact, that the prisoner was then under his
charge for protection against any and all
assaults, and that the solemn oath of office
the sheriff had taken required of him
quite different performance Of duty than
the one lie INDUCED in.
The plea of guilty was a wise proceed.
ing on the part OF the defendant; for the
facts that would have been brought out
at the trial would make the case look
very black indeed.
Whatever punishment be assessed, the
moral effect of the proceeding will be al
excellent one. 1t is about time that i
were established that law rules in thi!
country and not the petty tyranny of {
few officials clothed with temporary all
thority and who abuse such authority
There has been too much OF this sort O
business under the late Democratic ad
ministration.
1t is, however, reproach on this com
munity that men can be found who viii
approve such conduct on the part of al
officer and who assert and call Lawful
prosecution of such an outrageous case O
political persecution" We make nc
bones about it. There is devilish littl,
American manhood about such a crowd
We are treating this case in fair, JUS
and open manner, but desire it distinct,
understood that if harsher words are re
quired they will be said, and that in
manner that will count.

DURING three and hall years of the
Ross Doodle administration of the terri
torial penitentiary there was received
from the labor of convicts and the feeding
OF United States prisoners the sum Of
$500. During the first twelve months
of the present Republican administration
from March 4 1889, to March 1890
(there being about the same number Of
prisoners in the institution year per year,
from 1855 to 1S9O) there was received the
amount Of $1,000, from the same source.
Facts are facts and these facts mean that
the present administration OF the terri.
torial prison is honest and economical
and efficient. and that the Democratic
administration under ex-Gov. Ross was
dishonest, extravagant and inefficient.

DURING the Democratic administration
from 1885 to 1889, the expenses of the
territorial prison amounted to $52,0 900 per
annum. During the first year under a
Republican regime, from March 4, 1889,
to March 4, 1890, the expenses, with the
same number of prisoners, were $29, 900.
1t is plain to any person who can read
and understand that the management
under the Democratic administration was
dishonest, and the management under a
Republican administration is honest.
That is all.

IT appears from the official records,
that the collector OF Santa Fe county,
Sheriff Frank Chaves, is charged with
the following amounts for the year 1889
DELINQUENT taxes, $12, 1877 %; for licenses,
SO, 100; for taxes 1889, $2G, 1868. These
charges are those OF the territory against
the collector. There appears to his credit
the sum of $9,S9S.9O paid over on Feb
ruary II last. The law clearly directs
that the collector shall pay over to the
territorial treasurer all funds in his poses
sion on the 10th OF each month. From
the official records it appears that nc
money has been paid over since February
Has none been collected? Has any been
collected? If so, why is it not paid over
as the law directs? Pertinent questions
these at this time specially.

TIE Denver Times of the 14th instant
says:
The Democratic members of the h ouse
committee on territories, at a meeting of
that body held yesterday, opposed and
defeated motion to take up the bill
for an enabling act for New Mexico. This
settles the question of New Mexico's ad-
mission for this session. The only reason
for the action of the Democrats was the
fear that the Democratic prospects of car
rying New Mexico in case she became a
state were not as good as they might be. -
That means, and proves conclusively,
that the Democrats in congress, as ever,
are opposed to any and everything, that
might benefit New Mexico.

REPUBLICAN COUNTY CONVENTION.

A convention OF the Republican party
of the county OF Santa Fe is hereby called
to meet at the court house in the city OF
Santa Fe at II o'clock a. IN. on Monday,
the ID day OF September, 1890, Tor the
purpose of selecting eight delegates to
represent the county OF Santa Fe at the
Republican territorial convention to be
held at Albuquerque on the 18th day OF
September, 1880, for the purpose of nomi-
mating a candidate for delegate to the

The people of New Mexico must

The people of New Mexico must not
forget that under the Ross Doodle admin
istration, from 1886 to 1889, when this
territory was cursed with corrupt judges
and dishonest federal and territorial court
officials, the cost of running the courts
was 100000 per year; the people must
not forget that, owing to wise and bene
hclal legislation passed by a Republican
legislature over the veto of that Doodle
governor, put into Office by Grover Cleve-
land, and owing to a JUS, and honest ad-
ministration of the courts, the entire ex-
pense of their administration for the first
iwelve months of the present Republican
regime, amounted to only 100000, in
which sum there is included an estimate
OF deficiency in the pay Of jurors, etc.,
of about SIC, 900; this means that under
the Democratic administration the people
OF New Mexico we're systematically and
constantly robbed by corrupt Judges and
dishonest court officials.

THE SENATE Is RIGHT,

As was to be feared the senate and
house conferees have struck a snag and
come to square halt on the arid lands act.
For nearly month the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill has been hung up, and
any agreement seems now long way off.
This is most unfortunate in view of the
vital interests Of the arid region settlers
which this bill involves. The senate is
certainly right in its demand for the repeal
of the act Of October 2, 1888. 1t is posi-
tive folly to charge that the welfare of
either irrigation monopolies or land spec
ulators is responsible for the position they
have taken. Should private capital locate
reservoir sites and demand from settlers
exorbtant water rentals, they could
readily be held in check by local legisla-
tive enactment. On the other hand the
contention Of the house is wrong, in
every sense opposed to the interests Of the
people of the west. Powell and his lobby
have related exaggerated stories to the
innocents in the house in reference to
the conditions prevailing throughout the
west, limiting at powerful corporations, "
giant water monopolles," and the like
until they have worked the representatives

THE supremacy OF the law above any
one man. Let its provisions be carried
out and have it understood that this is a
government of law and not of personal
violence and political partisanship, as it
was under the Democratic judges in this
territory. Let just punishment be melted
out to all transgressors of the law, no
matter what their position, high or low,
rich or poor. They are equal before the
