AN OFFICIAL NOTICE.
Harrison Managers Issue Manifesto-He
Will Not Withdraw.


To night an official notice was issued
from Harrison headquarters saying:
"Since it was demonstrated by the unani-
nous expression of large majority Of
delegates to the national convention at the
meeting to-day that President Harrison
is their choice and the leader of that body
in the impending campaign, the questio on is
asked by delegates favorable to him,
whether his friends will consider the ex-
pediency of his retiring and joining in the
nomination of a new man. The uniform
reply has been and will continue to be
given, that the judgment of the party hav-
ing been definitely ascertsined to be favor
able to his candidacy, supporters will not
participate IN an effort TO reverse their
Judgment and at no time will there be q
consideration by them of any other candl-
date. (Signed) L. z. MIEHNER.

tration by Harrison.
The nomination of Mr. Cleveland was
q bid by Democrats for conservative
support, and it has aroused the ALI
ances in the south to opposition, seri-
ously threatening the solidity Of that
section for the Democracy.
The strike agitations in this country
are as much exaggerated abroad as the
European cholera is sensationalized here,
but they have gone far enough with US
to show that the Democratic partisans
had greater reason than the Republicans
to be alarmed about their political inhu-
ence The strikes have testified to our
industrial and commercial prosperity
under the protective system, and it is
prevalent public opinion that there can
be no safer, no stronger administration
than Harrisons.
There has been Democratic effort to
change the scene and the issue of the
national political contest--to locate the
decision in the northwest and insist
upon fighting the force bill. But it is
the tariff issue that rises M necessarily.

is NE SILL "A DEMOCRAT"7

David b. Hills declaration that he 10
"a Democrat still notwithstanding the
action of the Chicago convention, isn't
calculated to stir much enthusiasm in the
sinking hearts OF the party. The remark
shows just how sore Hill really was and
is over the nomination of his bitterest
enemy. The fact also that he fred off his
opening OF the campaign address without
mentioning the name of Cleveland is
most significant. However, possibly all
this is in the deal He may openly speak
of Cleveland later, after it is fully agreed
upon just how many cabinet positions he
will be allowed to dictate in the interest
OF Tammany in case Cleveland is elected
president. Hill is willy duck.
Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1892-09-21
and the state of New York that draws

and the state of New York that draws
with the attraction of gravitation.
Democratic concern as to the purposes
of Senator Hill amounts to dismay.
Tammany is unequivocally for Cleve-
land, but Hill has not taken his place at
the head Of the procession. His vote on
the silver bill for free silver after the
Chicago platform was the party law has
been deep mystery. There has been
added to it the publication of state sta
tistics showing officially, on Democratic
authority, the increase of wages Of
workingmen in New York since the
Mckinley law took effect. Labor Com
missioner Peck, who makes the report,
is close friend Of Hill, and had Just
seen him before giving out the figures so
fatal to his party. Does this candor
amount to treason? Can it show that
Hill means to strike Cleveland? That o
cruel knocking down and out blow has
been delivered there is no doubt.
Coincident with the statistics, which
care a deadly dose for the Democracy,
comes the home speech of Mr.. Steven
son, which unreservedly places the tariff
and involved labor and wages questions
in the first place, and then aggressively
includes n subject so tremendous that
others cease to be distinguishable. This
does not obscure the consideration of
the tariff, for it at once supplements and
magnities that issue.
Stevenson's point is, 1t would be "the
essence of justice" to restore the inter-
nal revenue war tax on our home manu-
features that one year yielded $127, 00O,-
900, and other war taxes of the same
character, the income tax among them.
This is adding the platform of Omaha
to that of Chicago, and would grind the
manufacturing industries between the
upper and neither millstones of free trade
and special war taxation and grind them
very fine.
The speech of Stevenson making this
shocking suggestion was delivered i'm
mediately after he had been in consulta-
ton with the Democratic managers in
this city, and gains significance from
that fact.
Taken in connection with the labor
commissioners report of the informa-
ton gathered from manufacturers in
New York, its influence upon business
men on the deciding questions in the
decisive state, and indeed all the manu-
featuring states, must be considerable
if not conclusive.
Republicans greet President Harrison
with cheerful confidence and warranted
assurances that matters and things are
going his way with accelerated velocity.

WHO PASSED The POLL lax LAW7

1t doesn't seem to be generally known
| that the unjust, unreasonable and I'M
popular feature OF the poll tax law, where
IN a voter ia disfranchlsed if he fails to
pay this tax sixty days before general
election, is almost wholly Democratic
production. When the school bill was
pending in the territorial council, Hon. L.
B. Catron offered an amendment to strike
out the poll tax provision from that bill and
have it made e separate law, this amend
ment was defeated by the Democrats and
two Republicans. He then attempted to
have the acknowledgements clause of the
poll tax requirements stricken out, and
this was defeated by the same vote. 1t is
well enough for the Democratic kickers
to bear these facts in mind when they are
abusing the poll tax acknowledgements
Ration Range.
The above, taken from the Ration Range,
conservative and reliable newspaper,
states the exact truth in every line Of the
article. The law containing the dlsfran-
chising clause, non payment of poll tax,
was introduced in the legislature by L..
| r. Z. Paulin, Democratic member of
the house of representatives, elected from
the county of San Juan. The house was
Democratic with the assistance of the four
representatives, Of the Peoples party,
elected from the county of San Miguel.
This law with the poll tax section therein
passed the house OF representatives, after
having passed the Democratic caucus, OF
which Nestor Montoya was chairman,
and Felix Martinez and A. B. Fall, OF
Las Cruces, the controlling spirits. No
two men IN the territory Of New Mexico
knew at the time better how its passage
with the poll tax section therein would
affect the poorer classes OF our people.
They knew that it was hardship
for large number of our people to
pay the dollar poll tax and they sought to
disfranchise them by making the pay
ment of the dollar prerequisite to vot-
ing. They thought in this way to control
elections. When the bill reached the
senate of " hich Hon. Thomas B. Ca.ron
was member from the county of San ia
Fe, no voice was raised louder or stronger
in protesting against the infamy of the Sec
ton. He did everything to secure the
elimination Of the obnoxious section from

became IL law and passed the senate by
