spectlve Of party Affiliations. II must
| bs stated that hls nomIuation comes 10
the nature ~ II surprise, for when Mr..
| ClevelaLd was first elected tn the pref.
dsncy -,ght years ago, MIR. E,sley was
named 10y him Tor surveyor general OF
the territory, but when George w.
Julian announced that "he (Esslsy) was
u working friend u Col. Max Frost" he
was persuaded by lntlmat. triends to re-
sign, which he did.

the Santa Fs road between this city and
III Paso He Ia u tirst clAss young Mexi
can gentleman. and before accepting his
present position, that of postal agent,
filled several political offices IN Santa fs
county. Some say that the recognition
he has Just received from the president
10 a vludicatlon, from the fact that he
was once lncarcorated IN Jail at Santa Fe
while he was probate clerk OF that coun.
y because he would not recognize the
CON fasteners. II IL rue Mr.. Dslgado
was in !sll. but Il was Tor contempt OF
court, and the action Of the lower court
was unanimously affirmed by the terri.
torlal supreme court and later by the
United States supreme court. Then
there cannot he any vludication, when
| She highest tribunals Of the land say
that ms confinement IN jail was Just.
However, Mr.. Delgsdo's nomination
will meet with general approval.
Hon. james II. Walker. Of Collar
county, who was named FOR reg OF
the Santa Fe land office, is one Of the
incest Old gentlemen 10 the territory.
aud IL square to n dot. lie was reggie
ter during the former administration u
Mr.. Cleveland, aud retired from the
office with the good wishes OF a hos,
u frlends IN both PARTIES. Thos, Gable,
Of Santa Fs, WAS his strongest opponen,
for the office, but Mr., Cleveland recog'
niEed one Of the "eXss," aud thus Mr..
Walker secured the plum for the second
time.
Every appointment 30 far made for
federal offices 10 New Mexico, except
Mr.. Delgado, have been from formst
citizens OF Missouri, which is Il positive
fact that the Missouri congressional
delegation has more influence at the
White house than those from any other
state,
1t IL also learned thls morning that
Coz, Albright wrote q letter last week
endorsing Mr.. Easley Tor the surveyor
gensralship and that his nominstIon
followed several days later. The oolons
ls authority Tor the assertion that Meth
er Of the above nominations, except Mr.
Delgsdo, who had no opposition, were
endorsed by Messrs. Joseph, Fergussoa
and Crist.
