THE DEMOCRATS DEMOCRATIC OPINION
A meeting of the territorial Dem ocratic
central committee was called by letter, to
be held in this city yesterday. When the
meeting opened yesterday morning at
the offices of Collier & Marion, there we're
present Chairman j. H. Crist, Secretary
i. P. Gable, Hon. Antonio Joseph, Mr..
-, Hon. Chas. F. Easley, Judge N. C.
Collier, Hon. 0. N. Marion, chairman
Bernalillo county Democratic central
committee; Mr.. Columbus Noise and Mr..
J. II. Fitch. There not being quorum
present, kilograms were sent to absent
members, from whom proxies were re-
ceived by wire during the afternoon.
Gov. w. Z. Thornton who came down to
take part In the Memorial day services,
dropped in on the meeting during the
day.
At the morning session, which was an
informal meeting, the question was raised
as to the endorsing applicants for office
not yet filleG. An active Democrat, him
self an applicant for office, vigorously OPP
posed the proposition and held that it
would be un-Democratic and ruinous for
the territorial central committee to
single out one from amongst several
available applicants, all of them good
Democrats, for their endorsement. The
triumvirate thought best not to forco the
issue. -aaa 2.
AT the session IN the afternoon the
question Of endorsing an applicant for
the secretaryship was brought up, at the
instance of the triumvirate, and the
'member from Georgia" again entered
vigorous protest against passing resolu-
tions endorsing any one as being i'm
polite and contrary to good party prac-
tice. The triumvirates were checkmated
in their desperate attempt to drag the
territorial central committee into the
support OF their candidates for offices.
1t was determined to send Judge Collier
to Washington in company with Delegate
Joseph at an early day to urge the speedy
appointment of Democrats to territorial
offices now held by the enemy. Judge
Collier Is a native of Georgia and is not
unknown to Hon. Hoke Smith, and it is
expected that his presentation of the
situation to the secretary will result
Observation-Disclosures Democrat.
THE TIMES DEMOCRATIC OPINION.
A meeting of the territorial Democratic
committee was held in this city yester-
day. 1t was an enthusiastic and hsrmo-
NOUS session. Considerable business of
Importance to the party was transacted.
Among other matters of interest was
resolution unanimously passed endorsing
the action Of Delegate. Joseph, National
Committeeman FERGUSON and Territorial!
Chairman Crist, in the matter of endorse
ment of candidates fer office under the
present administration. The unanimous
and harmonious action of the committee
on all questions coming before it dis
proves the assertions of few that the
Democratic party is divided into factions.
