A QUIET CAMPAIGN.

1t is probably fact that there never
before was a presidential campaign in
which the average business man has taken
so little interest as in the present one.
Nor is this at all difficult to account for.
Business men are satisfied. They are
willing to let good enough alone. They
feel that the country is safe under Re-
publican administration. They know
that they have business to require their
attention and they realize that the. exist
ing wise and conservative administration
is in no small degree responsible for this
business-this extraordinary demand
upon their time in a presidential cam
paign year. 1t is for this reason that the
present time finds so many more men
keeping closely within their counting
rooms rather than out on the streets talk
ing politics-but they will vote all right
when the times comes.

THF LATE 8, M, THOMAS.

The death of Hon. B. NJ, Thomas terri
torial secretary, is sad blow to New
Mexico. Nothing less than public
calamity. In private life he was IN all
respects a model citizen. His public life
was beyond reproach. Careful and just
in considering the rights of all men, no
power could sway him when once his
mind was made up. His integrity was
never doubted, his motive never ques-
toned. He will be missed, not only by
the citizens of Santa Fe, but by all the
people of New Mexico.

A PUBLIC DUTY.

1t is a public duty to defeat the Dem
ocratic county ticket put up by the gang
element in this county, at the present
election. There are very few decent
names on it; the ticket was nominated
mainly by men tainted and known as cor
rupt politicians.
The people of this county need an
honest and strong delegation in the legis-
lative assembly.
They need honest, good and competent
men in the administration of county af-
fairs and officials who will preserve the
peace and collect funds honestly, and &C
count for them honestly.
They need county officials who will see
that the $21, 900 due this county from the
bondsmen of the late Frank Chaves are
collected and used for the benefit of the
people.
If the Democratic ticket here should be
| elected, it would simply be every man fol
himself for what he could make and fol
what there was in it, it would be "tht
devil take the people and we will take thu
tax payers money"
1t becomes therefore a solemn publi'
duty for every man who owns propert.
in this county and who does business
therein, and for every citizen who desire
a peaceful and honest county government
in this county for the coming two years
and the county's interest taken care o
and protected in the Legislative assembly
to cast his vote on election day in such
manner as to defeat every man on tn
