Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1894-10-23

The foregoing is the splendid ticket
which the Democrats OF Santa Fe county
yesterday nominated to carry forward to
victory the banner of Democracy on
November 6, and if the temper of the
convention that named the ticket and the
opinions of those who have since COM
mented upon its makeup can be taken as
an indication of its popularity, it is GER
tain that the names above given will be
those of Santa Fe's officials for the next
two years.
Such an enthusiastic and crowded con-
vention as did this great work for Dem
ocracy
HAS NavER BEEN SEEN
before in the county of Santa Fe, and
hundreds of Democrats went out from
the convention halls to vote and to work
with equal enthusiasm for the success of
this ticket.
At the hour of going to press yester-
day, the convention WAS in caucus for the
purpose of consulting as to the best in
terests of the party. Just before going
into caucus, the convention had heard
from General Easley, the permanent
chairman of the convention, few words
of counsel and advice that could not but
influence for good the important deliber-
ations upon which the convention was
entering. Gen. Easley in this address
took occasion to call attention to the fact
that this was typical Democratic con
vention. Every man had right to be
heard; there was .....
NO RING 10 DICTATE
who the nominees should be; and when
the voice of the convention was heard ii
would indeed DO the voice of the people.
The speaker laid especial emphasis upon
the niquities of the Republican party
1t stands now, he said, as in the past, foi
bigotry, narrowness and prescription. II
has in the present campaign throughout
the country revived know-nothingism in
all its contemplate features; and by its
liaison with the A. p. A., the Republican
party was attempting to array class
against class, to keep the numerous ad
herents of certain religious belief out
of any participation with the govern
ment, and thus to ingraft upon our Amer
lean institutions an un-American bigotry
Gen. Easley predicted that this course or
the part of that party would be rebuked
by an overwhelming vote both here ant
elsewhere throughout the country two
weeks hence. Gen. Easley's references to
President Cleveland, Delegate Joseph
Gov. Thornton and the approaching de
feat of the Catron club and the buttor
gang we're each greeted with great ap
plause.
