that can make 200, out of 1Ol, but Josepl
Is great man (laughter). Postoffices ar'
created by the postmaster general, OF
petition of those who want the offices, anC
this shows how much Joseph has to dc
with them.
Joseph may boa very good man, but he
Is very little of anything else. His best
friends have never slandered him, by say.
ing that he knows very much But as
good as Joseph is, he was not good
enough to oppose the alien law in con
gress,-a law that has kept millions of
foreign capital from our doors. He was
not good enough to raise his voice against
the free wool bill that passed the last
house, and likewise made no objections
to let lead i'll free. Joseph may be good
man, but he was not good enough to
refuse to introduce u bill
IN THE INTEREST OF A CORPORATION IN
COLORADO,
to divert the water from the Rio Grande
river before it reached the New Mexico
line.
Under the rules and regulations of the de-
partment of Washington, each state and
territory is allowed n certain number Of
employees there. What has Mr.. Joseph
done toward supplying the places allotted
to us from New MexicoY How many
young men has he taken to Washington
to fill these places? know of none. If
you will go to Washington, you will see
that boys are taken from Missouri and
other states to fill these places assigned
to New Mexico, and yet they are on the
rolls, and are credited to our territory.
The more we see of Joseph the more
we understand of his incompotency aud
unfitnesS for the place he does not fiji.
CHANGE Is NEEDED.
We need man in congress with brains;
man who has the courage of his convc-
tions; man who will give blow for
blow; man who will insure respect for
his opinions: a man of experience in
pubic affairs: Il man who will not wait
for opportunities, but who will make his
opportunities and improve them; Il man
who will be pointed to as a fit repre-
sentative of progressive people; man
of whose ability we will not be ashamed
of; man who will represent something
and some body; a man who does not be
leve in the foolish dogmas of free wool
and free lead, and who, if he intro
duces any bills, on the sub iect of
irrigation, will introduce them for the
people of New Mexico, and not for the
people of st. Louis and Colorado. Such
man is the
Hon. THos. B. CATRoN.
Among his defamers he stands for intelli-
gence and ability above them all. He stands
ike giant oak on some mountain peak,
surrounded by stunted saplings The com
parlson between this man of brains and
Joseph is like the comparison between
the mountain and the manure pile; be-
tween a New Mexican lion and singed
cat, applause and laughter) We have
beautiful territory. We are proud of it.
We hope soon to see it listed among the
states of the Union. Her star will be one
Of the brightest in that happy constellation. !
Then will come the magic wand of indus
try, 1t will smite our valleys and our
mountain sides; unshackled riches will |
leap forth and our people will enter upon |
an era of unexampled prosperity. 1t !
Will be new epoch in our history, ar ,
the beginning of it will be the election
Of the b'ainest man of the biggest terri
tory to the most important congress of
he world.
