SANTA FE, June 14.-After carefully |
canvassing among the more prudent,
pre- gressive and experienced citizens, who i
have an earnest desire at heart to see in
corporation a success, and laying aside
preiudices and everything Of a political
nature with view to giving our city dig
nifed character, calculated to invite cap
ital, and assuming there will be four
wards, the following mentioned gentle
mems names are submitted to the voters
as proper persons to fill the different posi-
tons:
For Mayor-Hon. S. B. Axtel.
Aldermen-M essrs. S. Wedeles, w. M.
Smith, John Symington, Marcelino Gar
cia, B. Hanley, r. n. Reaser, Demetrio
Perez, J. q. Schumann.
Marshal-Martin Quntana.
Clerks. d. LASER.
Treasurer. H. Gerdes.
Street Commissioners leach two wards)
John Patterson, G. W. Dudrow.
Attorney. p. Victory.
'ustce-E B. Seward.
Physician-Dr. w. S. Harroun.
Surveyor-Wm. White.
In connection with the foregoing, the
feeling among many of the Spanish
American citizens seems to be partial to-
ward allowing those who have been in
strumenlal in bringing about incorpora-
ton to properly start and manage the
same for at least the first year. This feel
| ;, hi,tu
masses, one and all, should be interested
in supporting a popular administration OF
city affairs.
The voters should constantly bear in
mind that they must not elect men for
their social qualities alone, but for good
judgment, ability and experience in add,
tion thereto, laying aside politics, preju-
dces and bad feelings and uniting in
electing the right men, business men who
are willing and ready to sacrifice part OF
their time without money remuneration
for the welfare of the inhabitants of the
city. They should see that the formation
of this community incorporation is made
up of solid men of worth and ability by
eeCting none other, otherwise, like q
; monument built without proper founda-
ton, it will result disastrously, especially
to the laboring classes. CANvAssER.
THE COMING CITY ELECTION.
Comr. Mayo being unable to reach town
| to-day, the canvass of the vote on city in
corporation was postponed until to.mor
, row. Secretary Knaebel, OF the citizens
executive committee, is working hard tt
have copies OF all documents in the premi
SEES in shape for the board to pass upor
q them tomorrow. The law says that Ger
: titled copies of "all papers" referring tt
the proceedings thus far had must bt
filed with the secretary of the territory
, and the county clerk; this means copies
of the city map, census, petition, notice
, of publication, etc. These are being made
out to-day and after the canvass of TIT
+ vote tomorrow the call for the election tt
select city officers will be issued. The
, date for this all-important event viii
, probably be July 2, in order that the oc
casion may be got out of the way before
the 4th, when the two events will be
Jointly celebrated. The call for the city
election has to be published for fourteen
days.
VOICE FROM "sILyER.".
Says the Silver City Enterprise: Santa
r Fe had 100000 fire last Friday morn
ing. This is one of the benefits derived
from incorporation, as no one-horse vii
lage could afford such luxury.
The Democratic bosses insist that SAINTS
Fe must put straight Democratic ticket
| in the field for the ensuing city election
3 We opine that Santa Fe has had a surfei
l of Democratic officials, and under the
, new order of things, should indulge in s
change. If the new candidate for NUM-
cipal honors desires to advance, and KEEP
step with the spirit of the age, it wouIc
, be very unwise move on her part tt
: keep the old mossbacks in office. Civ
