THE enemy's forces are being
drawn up in the field. The bugle
calls are being sounded and the
battle will soon be on. A demo-
cratic victory must be won in Grant
County, in New Mexico and in the
entire country. The fight in this
Territory will be a fierce one, and
the only way to win it for democ-
racy and good government is for
every democrat to rally around the
old democratic banner and stand
by the guns until the last ballot is
deposited in the ballot box on the
8th of next November.

1T remains to be seen whether
the Catron end of the republican
party will be successful III the con-
vention here today. If that fac
ton should secure control, it will
have to make good the promises
the Catron leaders made last spring
in order to secure the support of
certain republicans in this County.
They were promised nominations
for County Offices, and in consider
alton Of those promises worked
with a will for the support of the
Catron party. VIII the Catron
republicans be able to make good
their promises ?

PREPARING TO FLOP

THE Enterprise may have been mis-
taken after all in declaring that it would
support no man for the legislative ticket
who would not work for the repeal Of the
foe system. AS a general thing the peo-
pie Of this County, at least, force their
candidates TO buy the Office. IL has al
ways been considered that no man had a
RIGHT to ask his party for the nomination
unless he had a "barreL." After he was
nominated lac was expected to spend at
least tho first years salary to DO elected
and Il he did not do It he would not oven
receive the support Of his own party.

A DEMOCRATIC Legislature must
be elected this year in order to
prevent one of the biggest steals
ever attempted in this Territory.
The members of the Santa Fe ring
hold over $4,000 in old militia
warrants which they have made
several attempts to get funded, and
they came very near succeeding.
The control of the legislature mus
be kept out of the hands Of the
Santa Fe ring.

Texas democrats are friends of
free silver and so declare in their
platform. The majority in Texas
in favor of free silver will be about
a quarter of a million this year.
Monometallists will please take
notice that the silver issue is
coming to the front whether they
wish to have it or not. A condi-
ton and not a theory confronts
them and the sooner the democrat
ic leaders remove the cause for the
existing condition the better it
will be for the future welfare of
the party. The failure to pass a
free coinage bill at the next session
of congress means disaster to the
democratic party. The South and
West are for free silver and will
have it even if it becomes neces-
sary to gain the desired end
through the fundamentally Of a
third party. The movement has
already reached the danger line
and democrats must not daily any
longer with the silver question.

ACCORDING to the New Mexican
Delegate Joseph is in favor of
electing a democratic delegate to
congress and a republican legisla-
ture. This will never do. Dele
gate Joseph will have to change
his views to conform to those of
the democrats of the Territory if
he wants to keep in the PROCESSION.
This is not the proper time for

WHILE the next Legislature is
wrestling with the fee system and
creating the Office of county audi
tor, it might as well give a little
attention to the Office Of coroner.
Under the present laws a coroner
can perform none Of the functions
which properly belong to that Of
fee. He cannot hold an inquest,
and his principal duty is as a
viewer Of roads. This should be
corrected, and a law should be
passed giving the coroners in the
several counties in the Territory
authority to hold inquests on the
bodies Of deceased persons instead
of delegating that power TO the jus.
tees of the peace in their respec.
tive precincts. Let the coroner
perform the duties of a coroner.

A DEMOCRATIC delegate to con-
gress and democratic Legislature
must be elected in New Mexico
this year. The time has come
when it is possible to rout the
enemy, horse, foot and dragoon in
this Territory, and it must be done.
The plea that a republican legis-
lature ought to be elected in order
to secure the admission of the
Territory is an artful dodge, but
no sound democrat will entertain
the idea for an instant. If New
Mexico must consent to the domi-
nation of the Santa Fe ring in
order to secure admission to the
Union, it were better to remain in
our present condition for a hun
bred years. Democratic victory
and the defeat of the Santa Fe
ring should be the aim Of every
