A New Political Organization.
Shortly before the election last
fall, the AGITAroR published car
toon entitled "The Twins" The
cartoon provoked considerable crltl-
cism, and by some it was roundly
denounced. The object of the car
toon was simply to show that the
political leaders in both parties
were after the offices, and any SEEM
ing advocacy of principles was only
blind to cover up their scoundrel-
ism. If the proof was not sufficient
then to convince, recent develop
ments at least furnish abundant
evidence that the cartoon was truth
full. The fusion, in places, of
Democrats with Republicans, in
this state, was really'a straw to
show which way the wind blew, or
that the tendency was toward a
union of political forces.
Recently, the tendency has taken
fern in new political organization,
STYLED "The Continental League.
According to a Chicago News re-
port, the new organization is polit-
ical. oath-bound and secret. Enough
of its purposes are revealed to show
that it is on line with the Knights
Of Reciprocity Mr. Clarkson, OK,
acknowledgement, is one OF it's
founders. 1t is claimed that it's
membership now numbers $4,000
men. 1t is composed of both Dem
ocrats and Republicans, and it aims
to down tariff reform, prohibition
and the Alliance, or labor move
ment. The following is found in
the Chicago News of the 9th:
It is intended to infuse new life
into the Republican party and per-
init it to Withstand the attacks OF
tariff reform, prohibition and Al
lance agitators.
The following paragraph gives
the whole scheme away, or lays
bare an internal attempt to steal the
liberties of the people. Read
The movement to effect this or
ganization in . variety OF forms,
suitable to conditions of communi-
ties, while aiming at single pnr-
pose, is evidently controlled by a
master political mind. 1t is admit
ted that the real purpose is to
concentrate the labor and agricul,
tural vote, and direct it into
channel in the interest of the Re-
publican party and its policy. TO

Betkin Will Have to Go.

The report now 10 that Botkin
will have to resign. The district
over which he presides is in state
of lawlessness that borders on
anarchy, all owing to causes that
can be traced to their beginning, in
some connection, with Botkin. All
this iale trouble could have been
prevented had it not been for pig
headed, partisan Republican senate.
The house Of the last legislature,
after it was informed of the kind of
q man Botkin 10, passed an act
abolishing his district. The senate
refused to concur. The house was
then forced tie institute impeachment
proceedings, or leave a man in
office, unmolssted, who is wholly
unworthy, and disgrace to the
bench. A partisan senate refused
to impeacIl, in the face of over
whelming evidence of Judicial
crime and personal immortality, and
Botkin was turned loose to pursue
unchecked, course that, from the
beginning, has been prolific OF
trouble. Lawlessness has culmina-
ted in reign vi terror, and tho
state will be at vast expense to
restore order and punish offenders.
But the real culprits-Botkin and
the Republican senate-will escape
scot free, unless it be the. indigna-
ton Of All outraged people.

A DemOctatic Eracas

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 9.-The Demo.
cratic state convention was called to order
to-day by Chairman j. w. Baker, of the
state central committee. The indications
all point toward Peter Turney, who has
been on the bench for thirty years, and
is now chief justice Of the supreme court
OF this state, as the nominee for governor.
In fact, Turney has secured two-thirds OF
the delegates, and the recent Withdrawal
of Gov. Buchanan leaves him in undis.
puted possession of the field. Buchanan :
retirement from the field week ago is
the political sensation of the campaign.
Turney's success in manipulating the
primaries and county conventions, and
the determined warfare which his wing of
the party has waged upon the Alliance
disgusted Buchanan to such an extent
that he gave up all hopes of receiving the
nomination from the present convention.
1t is generally thought that he will an
nounce himself as an independent Demo-
cratic candidate, and that his candidacy
will be indorsed by the Peoples party
to be held next week. The
Republicans, of course, are jubilant over
the prospect of row in the Democratic
camp, and are putting renewed strength
into their campaign. The Prohibitionists
also have ticket in the field, and be.
tween the four candidates the game of
politics promises to be an exciting one in
+ his state during the coming three months.

Sororro Chieltain: The New MEXICAN

Santa fe in his mind when he penned
the following:
New Mexico has not only the finest
climate to be found anywhere upon Gods
green earth, but it can produce greater
quantity and better quality of fruits than
any other section of the United States"
No, he did not. He had the whole of
New Mexico. There are few places in
New Mexico that for an allaround sum-
mer and winter climate, can beat Socorro.
in fact there are none. Outside of New
Mexico probably there are some, but
they have never been found by man and
their record has not been written,
AS summer climate, we give the palm
to Santa Fe. 1t is the best of any place
In this territory, or the world, for that
matter; next to it we think Las Vegas
and the Hot Springs stand as one of the
best and most pleasant places in the terri
tory, and with Las Vegas, Silver CITY NAV
be classed, then Albuquerque and Las
Cruces as winter and spring and fall
places, but Socorro in Summer and winter
holds over them all, her climate is not 30
cool as that of Santa Fe in summer and
it is warmer in winter; while it is cooler
than Las Cruces or Albuquerque in sum
mer, 1t yet Is better winter climate and
then it is so pleasantly and beautifully
situated. We, in fact, are pleased with
all parts OF New Mexico and its climate,
and 80 lar as the outside world is con.
cerned, it is far ahead of any. As be-
tween ourselves, few hours ride will get
US to any kind Of climate or weather one
may wish for.
