Special dispatches from Silver City have
already given the readers of the NEW
MEXICAN an outline of the proceedings oI
Thursdays convention. The following
are the resolutions in full as reported by
the committee and adopted by the con.
vention:
We, the convention of the Republican
party of the territory oieNew Mexico, now
in session at Silver City, renew our ad-
herence to the principles of the party as
enunciated in the last National Republi.
can convention held at Chicago, and in
the last Republican convention OF this
territory held at the city of Albuquerque.
Resolved, That we most heartily in
dorse the honest, vigorous and thoroughly
American administration of President
Harrison, because OF it's purity, its dignity
and freedom from scandal because of the
craftsmanship displayed in dealing with
foreign nations; because it has adjusted
more international controversies than any
other national administration, and in
every instance the result has been signal
triumph for the United States because it
has served notice upon foreign nations
that our flag must not be insulted and
that the rights and privileges of American
citizens in foreign lands must and shall
be preserved; because of its devotion to
the building up of home industries; be-
cause it demands fair and just wages for
the labor of the working man and de-
nounces the doctrine of free trade which,
if carried out, would inevitably result in
placing the American workmen on level
with the half paid pauper labor of Eu-
rope because the political letters placed
upon the honest settlers in the west by
the wholesale suspension Of patents for
their lands by the late Democratic admin
istrstion have been stricken off and our
citizens are now, under this Republican
administration, permitted to peacefully
enjoy full and complete title to their
homes without danger of persecution, in
stituted for political effect; because IL has
given us court for the adjudication and
settlement of our land grant titles, and
we recognize the fact that it is largely Cue
to the efforts of President Harrison in
publicly and personally urging the passage
of the land court bill that tribunal is
now organized and in session within the
limits of our territory for the adjustment
Of such grant titles.
Entertaining these views and in CRATE
ful recognition of his services to New
Mexico, as we'll as to the country at large,
whose prosperity has been advanced by
his pure, upright and patriotic administra-
ton of public affairs, We believe that the
administration OF President Harrison
commends him to the people of the Unit
ed States for reelection to the high Office
he 80 satisfactorily fills.
By the appointment OF the Hon. Steph-
en- B. Elkins to the high. and responsible
position of secretary of war, the president
of the United States has conferred well
merited honor upon an adopted son of
New Mexico which is highly appreciated
by the people of this territory.
We endorse the administration of the
territory of New Mexico as able, honest
and efficient, and We feel extremely CRATE
full that the affairs OF this territory are in
the msin under the management of our
own fellow citizens, but we believe that
in future none but residents Of the terri
tory of New Mexico should be selected to
discharge the duties of the offices which
are to be filled n this territory.
We believe absolutely in the doctrine
Of home rule: and We especially commend
