likely to do all in his power to keep New
Mexico out of the Union as long as pos
sible."
l deem it due to you to say that Mr..
Joseph never showed me any letter from
YOU whatever; that | never used the Ian
guage that is attributed to me in the ex
tract or anything like it, either to Mr..
Joseph or to anyone else. Mr.. Joseph
must have been misrepresented, l think,
in this interview, and he owes it to your
self to me and to the public, to say that
he never made the statements that are
attributed to him. Yours truly,
Signed. 0. II. PLATT.
Mr. Catron then asked his hearers to
Judge for themselves in the premises. His
speech was enthusiastically and attentive
ly received.
Hon. B. NJ. Read then made a stirring
address and was frequently applauded.
He exposed the work of the Santa Fe
county Democrats in their successful
efforts to plunge the county into debt
and read extracts from the reports of
Democratic grand juries saying it'was
impossible to fathom the condition of
county finances, so shiftless had the rec
ord books been kept. He also reviewed
Mr.. Easley's record in the Legislature and
particularly his support of the poll tax
law, now so bitterly complained, of and
showed up Marcelino Garcia's connection
with the Galisteo ballot box theft.
Count this end of Santa Fe county safe

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Jose Valdez, the west side chief of po-
lice, has been notified by the county COM
mlssioners that his wages will be discon-
tinued if he persists in speaking for his
party. Joe is Republican.-La Vegas
Free Press.
Hon. y. A. Hadley, of Mora county,
made a rousing speech last Thursday
governor is one of New Mexicos best
orators and he is stalwart Republican of
the best type.-Raton Range.
highly successful political meeting
was held at Las Vegas night-before last
when Hon. 7. B. Catron and Judge Nor
rison addressed the people, These
gentlemen are at Albuquerque to-day and
are assured of an enthusiastic reception
there tonight.
On Friday of last week, Jose Lopez,
sheriff of San Miguel county, and grand
White Cap organizer, was in Plaza Alcal-
de, in Rio Arriba county, for the purpose
of organizing White Cap lodge. How
ever, as he found no one foolish enough
to join, he failed to organize such lodge.
Hon. A. L. Morrison, who is accom-
panying Mr.. Catron in his territorial can
vass, is one of the ablest advocates of
protection and Republican principles,
and is making converts at every meeting
He appeals to the intelligence of his
hearers and then convinces them that he
is right.-Raton Range.
Hon. T. B. Catron was greeted by a
splendid audience at the opera house
Thursday evening. He made two
speeches, one in Spanish and one in En-
glish, giving the most convincing argu-
ments why every voter of New Mexico
who is interested in the welfare of the
territory should vote the Republican
ticket.-Raton Range.
Mr.. Joseph spoke at Albuquerque last
night. He said the tariff on wool was
fraud, and that Catron was bold bad man
whom the people should not send to con-
gress because that would mean that, when
a state, New Mexico would send two Repu-
blican members to the U. S. senate. Mr..
Joseph arrived in Santa Fe this morning
and left for Taos county.
The facts and figures given by Mr..
Catron in his speech last night on the
benefits of statehood are almost incred
IDLE. In the Dakotas, Montana and
Wyoming, eighteen months after admis-
sion the value of the property in the
different states had doubled and in some
of them quintupled. Shall we hold back
or take advantage of statehood and do as
well as they did?-Las Vegas Free Press
