agitating the breasts of good many men
in New Mexico, and candidates for that

| Who will be governor of New Mexico
by the appointment of Grover Cleveland
Why, Col. j. G. Albright, of the Albuquer-
que Democrat, of course. Was not the
colonel the leader of all the DemocratsY
! Was not the colonel the only Democrat
in New Mexico who swallowed and be-
lieved IN Mr.. Cleveland's doctrine of free
coinage of gold only? Did not Col. Al
bright compel the New Mexico delegation
at Chicago to vote for Cleveland? All
these things are recorded and Mr.. Ceve-
land has copy of the record. Col. Al
bright will receive the appointment, but
the Liberal is reliably informed that it
will not be made before March 5.-Lords-
