within few days. Down to last frlday
all were working harmoniously. Inc
Democrats pretended to be as anxious lot
statehood as the Republicans Ahey
asked a slight change in the appoftioh-
nent. or to have it based on the ne"
census, and the Republicans there were
willing to agree to that. They also want
"a tho county commissioners to canvass
the votes as they do now, and this also
was acceded to, the Republicans insisting
that the present law was to that erect
but still we're willing to have it ~orded 80
that there could be no doubt. Ihese
were the only things that the Democrats
hera asked for, and all that was required
was To mt the suggestions into form "hu
present them to the committee
NIT THEY BACKED DOWN.
Rut on Saturday morning an ehtite
change occurred. Mr.. Gildersleeve SAD
that he had conferred with Democratic
npmbers of congress, and they were not
,oedv 70 admit us under the present con-
st;tntion no matter what concessions
,rora made as to details. Mr.. JOSEPH,
soid that he had received number OF
letters from leading Democrats in the ter
,itorv who we're opposed to ADMISSION
at present, and so he felt that ne
rnnst he governed by that Vle"'
though Individually he had peen
willing to cooperate for admission me
other Democrats present were favorable 10
admission. but are being controlled y!
GiIdersleeye Il Co. 1t was arranged u
hayn further conference IN the eVehihs
Th;s was held at the National hotel. doV
prinre said that the Republicans IN ASH
;,,,,to, wore 40 impressed with the I'm
nortance of statehood that they had oeei
willing to meet the Democrats
MORE THAN HALF WAY
in order to bring about unity OF action
Only two things had been sugses'eo D.
the Democrats in the constitution as ~
being entirely satisfactory to everybody
'e One as to the apportionment ana one
tothe canyassing of votes, On both pom
tho Republicans were willing to meet III
axnressed views of the Democrats. Inc
waye willing to recommend to the con
,,ittaa To alter the bill so as to base u
onnortionment either on the last vote IL
cpporess. or on the new census, ana
baye the vote returned under the OLD te
r;tor;oI law or as provided for Dakota III
,ho other new states. Mr.. Giderslee'
and Mr. Joseph repeated that the Dem
nrotir marty leaders boths,in Washlngt(
and New Mexico would not allow them
1 NJ s.. ,piIQtp A1fmlSSlO
and that they felt bound to apiGe ny vi
r opinion. So the matter stands, anu v
Republicans in town Will no" propau
ask their friends in congress 10 pre-
. action for immediate admission, anu
Democrats will ask theirs to oppose
