Keep This.

The total vote at the last president
election, as reported so far, is less
than 12,4OO, 900. Cleveland's s.
53S, 900, which is only 292 more
than he had in 1883. Harrison's
vote was 1877 1878 less than his vote
in 1888. The Prohibition vote
Appropriated 2S5,OOO, or about 10
per cent. gain on their vote of 1888.
1t is now claimed that the total vote
cast Nov. 9Th, 1892, was 100000
less than was given out during the
few days following the election.
The vote for Weaver and Field
keeps growing, and it is now nearly
1850, 900, as shown by the canvass
ing boards over 100000 were count
ed in the Southern states, and over
600, 900 were counted in the North
ern states. 1t is believed by many
that the honest vote cast for the
Populist candidate for candidate for
president was not less than 2,000,-
900 and possibly more than that.
This is the nearest to correct
statement of the case that we are
able is give at present.-Colorado

When you study the above, you
will probably find that the landslide
did not move in the direction of the
Democratic party, as has been claim
ed. We don't know how many ne
gro women dressed in mems clothes
were voted in the Southern states,
but when the Democrats got in elev-
en- thousand votes where there was
only total of three thousand voters,
we are Of the opinion that, after all
the beating of drums and clashing of
cymbals, Mr.. Cleveland is only
minority president.

Ex-Secretary FairchfId.

EX-Secretafy-OI-Cn e- treasury L air
child is out with an interview de-
handing the repeal of the Sherman
silver act. He says:
"The fear which fills mems minds
is that the treasury will not much
longer be able to fulfill this task.
1t is this fear that causes Europe to
sell our securities whenever the
market is favorable for that purpose,
and decline to invest in them, the
net result being the drain of gold
from our banks and from the treas
ury. Unless something is done
soon to quiet this fear, it will be i'm
possible for our government to sus-
tain at par the great volume Of cur
rency in circulation among our
people. The only effective remedy
is the absolute stoppage of the issu-
ance, in any form, of any more
money which must lean upon the
treasury for support"
This is Fairchild in 1898. Below
is given a portion. of his report as
secretary Of the treasury in 1888.
1t will bear careful reading:
"The $346, 900, 600 of greenbacks
are the weak point in our currency
system. The gold coins and certifi-
Gates stand first, the national bank
notes next, the silver coins and GER
tifcates third, and the .greenbaeks
last in order of assured value, and
it would be a great benefit to the
whole mass of the currency if this,
it's frailest element, could be elimi-
mated from it.
"The present state of things seems
favorable to the substitution of ma
tional bank notes for greenbacks,
and to that end / venture to submit, !
for the consideration of congress,
the following measures {:
Il. Funding in bonds the green
back debt of $346,6S1,O l6, or so
much of it as may be presented at
the treasury within limited period
of time, say three years.
20. The bonds to be issued only
to national banks presenting green
backs for that purpose to bear a
low rate of interest, not exceeding
10 per cent, and to mature only
upon the failure of the bank or upon
its dissolution, whether voluntary
or upon expiration of it's corporate
existence.
THE bonds are so issued to be
available only as a deposit to secure
national bank circulation, and to en-
title the banks depositing them to
receive circulation notes to the
amount of their face"
Any man who will advocate the
retirement of the greenback and the
issue Of bonds for that purpose is
an enemy of the people. The idea

airy to Senator Martin, and thinks
that when the excitement is over,
Topeka will be proud of the new

whether Topeka will be proud OF
it's daily newspapers when the ex-

will surely end in time, and the low
down, measly gang that is now en-
gagged in throwing filth at Gov.
Lewelling and the legal house OF
representatives will get the benefit
of the boomerang they are now
throwing. When paper gets so
low as to characterize the governor
of Kansas as a chicken dealer from
the back alleys of Wichita, it shows
more than anything else the neces-
sty of a general cleaning up,and all
this because Gov. Lewelling is
striving to do his duty according to
law, instead of recognizing lot of
rotten-hearted anarchists and politi-
cal bummers who are trying to COM
pei Kansas to sanction perjury and
fraud. 1t will not be long until the
moral sense of the whole people
will be quickened to that extent as

disgrace the profession shall be sum-
marily boycotted. Topeka Popu-

much one sided-they are nearly all Re-

cratic ascendency, they appear to keep
their course as evenly and prosperouely as
under the sway of tho lamented Ben amin

standby of those who have long held the
welfare of the territory nearest to heart,
comes to our desk with its page space re-
duced from eight to seven columns: but
It's eminence i'll other respects is in nowise
lesscned, and we greet it cordially as Of
old. The Albuquerque Citizen now
wears new dress of latest style, and
points with pride to tho rapid increase
in its subscription list showing that the
people of Albuquerque are quick to APP
preciate merit and reward it. We could
not well do without the Citizen. And tho

columns before us every morning in SO
pleasing q manner that VIC should be re-
luctant to forego its perusal for year

SfatchONN NOW. OF Iatpr2

In the opinion of the Daily Times, the
delegates who, at the recent convention,
carried the day for statehood Immediately,
and arc not satisfied with anything else
than to digest it with their breakfast to-
morrow morning, made serious mistake,
and we are afraid that the gentleman who
is SO anxious to have the resolutions
framed, as being the ones which obtained
statehood, will have to wait awhile for his
entire qualification. .
We do not desire to throw cold water
on the praiseworthY enthusiasm which
was SO marked feature of the conven-
ton, but we believe that it is running a
great risk to change the provisions of
Delegate Joserh's bill in the way de-
manded by the convention. Tho Times
touched upon this point editorially some
days ago, and Gov. Ross communication
in Wednesdays issue still further OK
planned our ideas. The Daily Times is
IN favor of getting tho enabling act just
as soon as possible, and constitution
adopted as soon thereafter as Ia consist
ent with the framing of Il wellordered in
strument, but we are not in favor of vot-
ing on the constitution until the lapse of
many months allows for its wide publica
ton aud large gration.-- Albuquer-

MISLEADING REPORTS.

The Associated Press dispatch on GOV
Thornton's annual report sent to the
secretary of the interior does that official
and New Mexico a great injustice. Hard
times at the east seem to permeate
everything and everybody, and the news
paper men back there seem to think that
all business in the west is at stand-stiil
because the Cleveland administration has
taken the contract to force congress to DO
its bidding and down silver.
There are really many good points in
the governors message. He reviews the
progress of territorial affairs in detail
and on the whole makes q good showing,
but few of these good points found lodg-
ment in the mind of the press agent, sent
by the Associated Press to the interior
department to gather facts.
However, New Mexico has become
quite accustomed to this sort of busl-
ness. She has been long misrepresented
in the public prints at the east, but
nevertheless her progress is steady and
substantial, and her future is to-day
brighter in all respects than that of any
other section of the whole west.

1t will Take Hard WGrlS to Get Sd


The question of New Mexicos immedi-
ate admission as a state is growing in
favor, and is entirely non-partisan in its
following. The bill introduced in the
house by Delegate Joseph, and which was
referred to the committee on territories,
is an excellent one in many of its details,
but in accordance with Mr.. Josephs
established practice in this matter,
the bill provides for admission Ill
1895, or eighteen months hence. The
OBJ iect is plain-to allow his po-
litical henchmen to complete their
unexpred terms of Office, and SO
gain their gratitude by the act as to
win their support in his race for the
U. S. senatorship from the new state.
That his efforts will prove nbortive, is
fore gone conclusion, from the fact that
the prominent Democrats in the territory
are working hard to secure admission
with the hope of securing election to this
aud other high offices in the gift of the
people. 1t is not believed that there are
good reasons for postponing admission
for year and q half; but if there are, all
that is necessary to prevent it is inaction.
Admission won't come without hard work
and lots of it, and Mr.. Joseph's bill is
plainly one to prevent rather than to
secure admission. He seeks to subvert
the interests of the people of New Mexico,
to those of few petty Democratic office
holders.-San Marcial Bee.
