OF Office.
Speaking of the reason tor the legisla-
tive assembly's change in the time for
holding court in Grant county, the
Demlng correspondent of the Ell Paso
Times has discovered that: "The change
was made with no other object than to
prevent Judge John R. McFie, the present
district Judge, from holding over and
conducting the spring term. Judge Nc
FEES term expires in few days and by
postponing the term until April 7, ample
time will be afforded for the appointment
of his Democratic successor. There 10
such thing as carrying partisan politics
too far and when the legislative assembly
stoops to such small acts as this, it is
aboa, time to call public attention to
their petty politics. Judge McFie, by the
way, has made one of the most capable
and fairest judges who ever sat ON the
bench in New Mexico, and steps down
and out with the best wishes of every
citizen whose business eve. led him be-
fore the judicial tribunal"

pa ers that Mr.. Edward Medler is a can
dldate for U, S. inspector, whatever that
may mean. The Times wishes to say
that it is in favor of Mr.. Medler for U. S.
special agent, the position he seeks.
More than that, we.are for the gentleman
with all our might, and main, and believe
he is deserving of much better Office.
He has fought the battles of his party
with splendid courage and earnestness.
He strikes from the shoulder and asks no
quarter from the enemy. Such man al
ways commands respect and admiration.
His wide experience and knowledge OF
affairs will equip him for the position OF
special agent of the government, while
HIS integrity and high character en-
phasize the fact that his selection would
be wise one.- Albuquerque Times.

ing them to endorse Hon. A. B. Fall, OF
Las Cruces, for U. S. attorney, and E. L.
Hall, of Silver City, for U. s. marshal for
New Mexico. When Democrats have to
work through such channels as these for
endorsement to high political hon"rs

Tor all self-respecting Democrats to set
