Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1892-05-10

The chairman got woefully tangled up
and tried TO blame the convention for it.
He dsclamed all responsibility Tor the
fool motions adopted by the conven-
ton"
The anti-White Cap plank which the
Santa Fe delegates took down with them
was never launched in the resolutions
committee. San Miguel was too numer-
Gus for EN-.
There were no patriotic speeches, such
as Judge Trimble could have made. The
2urb-stone politician was too numerous,
and all patriotic sentiment was mnzzled
for scheming and wire-puIling.
Dreamer, who on Saturday renounced
his allegiance to the Democratic party
and rendered his resignation as chairman
| of the Santa Fe county Democratic COM
mittee, WAS brought back into the fold
with proxy.
J. II. Crst appeared as the ''inhooence"
! of the convention, carrying proxies from
! Rio Arrba, Taos and San Juan counties.
| He went as the avowed enemy of the
Ferguson Fielder faction, but was given
the Craftsmanship nevertheless.
! e. u. Bantz, leader or supposed leader
Of the Ross clique IN Grant county, was
st the convention to put Fielder in the
soup the latter, however, put Ross and
Bantz in the soup, and the soup was hot,
very hot and spicy. Bantz WAS not in it,
except in the soup.
To the initiated the speech of the Hon.
Chas. f. Easey when he nominated
| Barnard SeIlgnan, was very amusing.
Essey wanted to be q delegate himself,
but Sehgman "downed" him, and then to
make 1t more binding, compelled him to
make the nominating speech.
Agreeable to their deal Geo. Curry, OF
Lincoln, seconded every motion made BY
the FERGUSON faction. Indeed, Curry
appeared to he as expert at this business
as Was cold segundo," in the last legisa
ture, and he demonstrated to q nioity that
the Old ADe mine is strictly in it, when it
comes to Democratic wire-pulling.
When the Democratic party is COM
PEELED to honor such men rs E. V. Long,
it is a close question whether brains or
cupidity are the dominant spirits IN the
party. People are forced to the conclu-
sion that the latter is the moving force,
especially when Long and Felix Mar
tinez are taking soup out of the same
J dish.
During the very eloquent, sublime, ex-
cellent, super excellent, convincing and
grand peroration made by Capt. Eads in
nominating ex-Chief Justice Long for one
of the delegates to the Chicago conven-
ton, Judge Longs shoulders were seen
: to swell and wings began sprouting; had
the peroration been only long enough, no
doubt, the Judge would have developed
into full fedged sersph with an angelic
. smile.
! 1t was Felix Martinez convention first,
last and all the time-and Felix Martinez
is the man referred to by the leading
Democrats of Las Vegas in the ing
+ words uttered by Capt. W. NJ. Eads
1.-TWO years ago, the Democratic party
was disbanded by the county chairman
without even asking the rank and file
a for their consent They were sold out to
: of protest; and now the effort is being
made to repeat the performance"
During his speech in Yesterdays con.
T.. vention the Hon. A. B. FALL one of the
e big four in the last legislative assembly,
said: GLOW can we expect to carry the
. great silver producing counties of Grant,
Sierra, Socorro and Santa Fe without
this free silver plank in the platform ?"
:, whereupon the chairman of the Demo
cratic central committee pertinently, but
i in STANCE whisper, said: Eyes, how in
g HI do they expect to carry Socorro
Santa Fe and Sierra counties without free
/. silver dollars, in place of free silver
: planks" The chairman's head is leve
at times.
Y Easley went for the Republicans o.
Y Santa Fe county in his speech anC
charged them with corruption, ETC., bat
forgot to mention that he was honestly
: and fairly defeated at the last election
and simply got seat in the house of rep
res1ntahves by the grace of the White
. Cap leaders and because ballot box
II containing large and honest Republican
majority, was stolen from the vault il
q the court house and from the custody o
J, the Democratic county clerk, MarcelinC
Garcia, and the Democratic board of coun
, ty commissioners His silence in tina
9 regard was very dense. Taking advsnt
age OF ballot box steal and charging
j.. others with corruption do not hitch well
