Thanksgiving Proclamation.
TERRITORY OF NEW MEXICO.
the Governor


In conformity with the proclamation
OF the president Of the United States,
and in accordance with a custom long
hallowed by pious observance, l hereby
appoint Thursday, November "a, as a
day OF public thanksgiving.
The Nation has been exceptionally
prosperous; we have been blessed with
abundant crops; our manufactures have
increased, and the rewards Of labor have
been enhanced in every direction. We
have not only been mercifully preserved
from famine, food, tornado or other
great disaster, but from the impending
pestilence which lowered over the Dor
ders OF our land. Peace has been within
our walls and righteousness in all our
habitations. All this we owe to the
favor Of Almighty God.
On the day thus appointed let all the
people rest from their ordinary labors
and meet in their accustomed places of
worship to give thanks to the Supreme
Ruler for his loving kindness and the
manifold blessings thus vouchsafed to
us as a people, and let their remembrance
prompt us to a kind thoughtfulness for
the poor and afflicted and stimulate us
to deeds Of charity and love.
Witness my hand and the great seal OF
the Territory of New Mexico, at Santa
Fe, the capital, this 18th day OF Novem-
Der, in the year Of our Lord 1892.

There will be a few valuable Offices to
be filed under the newly elected demo-
cratic administration in this part Of the
country, and a number Of aspirants to
these are already in the field. All those
heard from so far are good citizens and
democrats who have claims which will
have to be considered, and any OF them
would doubtless fill the offices worthily.
These qualifications being thus about
equal in the various candidates there is
still one which ought and doubtless will
be given precedence by the powers that
will be, viz; faithful, hard work for the
party during this campaign. There can
be no question that, other things being
equal, the man who has fought and
worked for his party's success is more
entitled to any Office which he desires
and which his party can give him than
is another individual, equally qualified
it may be to fill the office, but who has
not borne his full share OF the burden
and heat Of the campaign which has
put his fellow partizans into power and
Office. In other words, the man who
has worked for his party is entitled 10
recognition by his party in the distri-
button OF Offices before the claims Of
others are considered, il he is qualified
10 fll the Office.
