@. H. Gildersleeve, who held
the position of chairman Of the
democratic central committee of
New Mexico for several years, was
interviewed by a democratic re-
porter the other day.
Il am out of politics and attend
ing strictly to business, but from
all l can see and hear, +" replied the
astute politician to the reporters
question, "there never was such a
cyclone in New Mexico as is now
asserting itself for Joseph in San
Juan, Rio Arriba, Taos, Santa Fe,
and San Miguel counties. If the
election could be had tomorrow /
venture to say that from 70 to so
per cent of the native people
would vote for Joseph, and 1 see
nothing to change them between
now and election day. Catrou
hasn't dollar to put into the cam
paign."
"Why should Mr.. Joseph be
more popular now than two years
agoT" asked the reporter.
"This is a democratic admins
tration and our native people are
generally favorable to the party
in power. 1t is simply a whirlwind
for Joseph up in those counties.
They are betting in Santa Fe that
Joseph will carry San Miguel
county by 5000 majority"

The Republican is informed
that the Casey affidavit, now in
possession of Mr., Thos. p. Gable,
charging Mr.. Catron and the late
Gen. John a. Logan with com
phcity in the American Valley
murders, will be published this
campaign. The columns of this
journal are open for its publica-
tion. The ghouls that will violate
the grave of the honored dead can
not of course be expected to re-
spect the reputation of the living,
consequently slander and libel are
TO be as surely looked for this cam
paign as that the sun will shine.
The republicans were very anxious
last campaign to get that affidavit
eitherin the original OF through the
columns of some dirty newspaper.
The democrats, however, weakened
at the last moment. Santa Fe
Republican.
The Republican is mistaken
about the contents Of the affidavit.
1t does not charge Gen. Logan
with completely in the American
valley murders, but it does prove
that Thomas B. Catron paid the
expenses of the scoundrels who
committed the murders and tried
to ring in the bill on his expense
account against the company. 1t
is true that Mr.. Catron was very
anxious to get the affidavit aud
tho original receipted bills for
murderer Courtwright's expenses;
so anxious that he got Casey into
a back room aud tried to forco him
TO give up the papers. The Re
publican aeedn't worry about the

The Baltimore Americana Rep. ],
in an editorial, intended to brace
up the Maryland republicans
against the movement for free
coinage of silver says;
Senator Voorhees, has sounded
the keynote Of the democratic
campaign in Indiana, which is free
silver coinage, and he has at the
same time sounded the death-knell
of democratic success, for, as in
Ohio, so in Indiana, there are
enough sound-money democrats TO
vote with the republicans and
overthrow those who would delib-
erately wreck the national finances.
The Philadelphia Press[ Rep. ]
makes these comments on the
same subject:
Chairman Voorhees,, Of the SEN
ate finance committee, says that
the action Of the Ohio democratic
state convention in declaring in
favor of the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver is the keynote Of
success. He adds that there are
not 5000 democrats in Indiana
opposed to such legislation. AS
bad as he is, Voorhees, is the idol
of the Indiana democrats. He
speaks for them. With the Ohio
and Indiana democrats ready to
Join the solid south in carrying
through such a measure the pros
pect for the country ia case Of
democratic success is far from
fattering. With free trade and
debased currency ii O.. free silver)
the nation would soon be in the
throes Of a collapse.

The San Lazarus gold mining
company is steadily at work with
a number of men on its property
at San Pedro.
There was a celebration at Ros-
well yesterday in honor Of the
arrival Of the railroad at that
thriving town.
The present indications are that
Antonio Joseph will carry every
county in the Territory with possi-
bly, one exception.-Ra Ration Re-
porter.
In Luna Valley, in western So
corro county, Che crops are very
poor, there having been little or
no rain in that part of the county
in time to benefit them.
Badly mining camp, up the
country, has made quite a growth
in the last few months. 1t now
has two stores, two saloons, tour
hotels and several other places of
business, and all seem to be doing
well.
The miners of southern Santa
Fe county are about convinced
that Catron wants to get into con-
gress for the sole purpose of de-
feating Joseph's bill for throwing
open the mineral lands on grants.

lights furnished by the company's
own plant.
Messrs. Easley, Bryant and

CATRON's CHARACTER.

John r. Merle Authority for the As
sertIOn That lie is a ScOundrel.
Independent Democrat:
Mr.. r. L. Young, candidate for
member of the legislature from
Dona Ana and Grant counties,
made a speech at the primary last
Saturday night and struck out
straight from the shoulder He
said:
"The republican party at So
corro threw down a challenge to
every honest citizen. As no stream
is purer than ITS source, so no
party is better than its head. The
republican party nominated at the
head of its ticket man who, we
know, will lead it to defeat; a man
in whom you cannot find single
honest trait; man whose hands
are red with the blood of the best
citizens of the Territory, and it
asks you to support him to replace
man against whose integrity no
word can be said. The republican
party asks you to support a man
who stole brick enough from the
Territory in one year to build the
finest block in Santa Fe; man
who stole enough stone from the
United States to erect residence
so fine that an ordinary citizen
cannot get through the front door.
Gas men opposed to thugs and
murderers, to force and fraud, to
lying and Misrepresentation, you
cannot support him. 1 am not
drawing information about this
man from democratic sources. My
authority for the statement that
Thomas B. Catron is an uncon-
scionable scoundrel is John r.
McFie, chairman of the republi-
can county Committee. He told
me that Catron was too big
scoundrel for him to support, and
1 challenge John r. McFie to
deny it.
"The democratic party also
throws down a challenge. 1t
challenges the republican party
and every man in New Mexico to
put a spot upon the character Of
Anthony Joseph.
"The crowd manipulating re-
publican politics in Dona Ana
county is the same old ring, but
the machine is broken. Their els
not a solid wheel in it. 1t has only
a few cranks left. If the democ-
racy does not put up a clean,
honest ticket, we don't ask you to
support it. A word about myself.
The party has seen fit to honor
me with a nomination, and with
your assistance L expect to be-
elected. l shall go to Santa Fe,
as 1 believe, a clean man. 1 ex-
pect to come back a clean man. /
intend to watch and Ryomote the
interests Of Dona Ana and Grant
counties and the Territory and
follow out the principles of the

whole story of the American valley
murders probably will be publish.
ed in due time. Independent De
mocrat.
The case which the lawyers Of
Odessa have recently had to settle
as to the presumption of survivor
ship in a husband and wife, both
drowned (for all that could be
known to the contrary at the
same instant, has been spoken Of
as though it we're an unusual CIR
cumstance, but in the English
courts there have been many sim
liar cases. The Odessa catastrophe
was caused by a collision, and it
has been decided that the wife
survived-a woman, as the doctors
considered, being likely to Goat
longer than man. In England.
iuries-or at least judges-are less
inclined to be moved by the views
of experts. In the case of General
Stanwix, who was lost with his
wife, and every soul on board, in
the Irish Channel, administration
was granted to the representative
of the husband; but the judge
expressly observed that he was
not deciding that the husband
actually survived the wife, but
that both parties had perished at
the same moment In case
where a mother and daughter both
were drowned in a cabin through
the sea coming in at the skylighr,
1t was held, though physical
strength was much in favor of the
younger woman, that neither could
transmit to the other. In the case
of Underwood VS.. Wing, it was
shown that the husband clasped
his wife in his arms, when q heavy
wave swept both into the sea, and
though the man was strong and a
good swimmr, it was decided (after
two appeals, however) that their
property Mould go the same way
as though they had died at the
same instant The effect of this
was to set aside the Wills of both,
and the property was handed to
one whose name was intentionally
excluded from both documents.
There was a case of presumption
of suryivorship in Sir John Frank
Inns expedition, which was decided
upon opinions of other Arctic
voyagers, notably DR.. Rae and Sir
John Richardson. They both con-
CURED that no member of the ex-
pedition could possibly have sur
yived 1852. A very small amount
of proof though proof there must
be--is REQ uired for evidence of
survivorship. "a father and son
were seized as joint tenants and to
the heirs of the son." They were
also seized as joint accomplices in
a murder and hanged accordingly.
They were turned off at the same
time, but because the legs of the
son shook after the father was still
it was held that he survived and
that his wife was entitled to her
dover.

the gratitude Of all persons who
are not rascals. Rebuking sin in
the abstract and shielding the sim
ner is a waste of time, and if all
knaves were to enjoy immunity
from exposure until attacked by a
man without sin and without re-
proach, they might go their way
rejoicing and knaving until the
second coming of the Messiah.
In the present campaign, the
republican party has the bad luck
or the i'll judgment to be headed
by man whose acts have made it
impossible to touch his character
without stirring up loud and Of
fensive smell. Mr.. Catron is what
he is because of what he has done,
and in telling what he has done
and suborned others to do, one
cannot avoid personalities" tt
is personality" to state that Mr..
Batron would not pay for bricks
until he was sued. 1t is a "person-
ality" to say that Mr.. Catron is a
member of the Button Gang and
the protector and friend of mur-
derers, but it is nevertheless true.
1t may be 'indulging in personali-
ties" to protest against the election
as Delegate to Congress of a man
who is known to be reckless, un-
scrupulous and dangerous, but it
is the duty of those who know the
man and his methods to protest
and to show why they protest.
We have not seen in any paper
the remotest allusion to Mr.. Cat
ron sprivate affairs or character,
and we have no reason for suppos-
ing that he is not as good as the
average man in his family and So
cial relations. A man may be
kind husband and father AMI live
decent, cleanly life in private,
and still be utterly unscrupulous
in business and politics. Jay
Gould was irreproachable in hrs
private life, but he was the great
est thief on earth.
All of Mr.. Catron's acts that
are now being criticized were pub
lie in nature or affected public in
terests. When he obtained brick
from the penitentiary for his pri-
vate use and neglected to pay for
them, he used public property and
kept out of the Territorial treasury
money that should have been
available for public uses. When
he allied himself with a secret po-
htical organization and promised
protection to its members, he
became a public enemy and ex-
posed himself to public attack.
When he armed his followers with
weapons from the prison armory
and assembled them in the Capt.
tol to intimidate the Legislature,
he proved himself to be a danger
GUS disturber of the peace and a
reckless revolutionist.
Such acts constitute Catronism, I
and it is puerile to talk of attack
ing Catronisnr without attacking
Catron. The mans character
and the mans actions as a citizen,
lawyer and politician are insepara-
BILE, and Notwithstanding the
Stockman's pious condemnation
and the infantile wailing of the
Republican press the campaign
against Catronism must be conduc-
ted as a campaign against the per-
of Mr.. Catron.
AS Mr.. Coils Huntington said
when one Of his partners COM
planned Of newspaper attacks: ga
man has a right to shin up a pole |
in public, but if he paints his rear
elevation red before going up, he
must expect to attract attention
and elicit remarks"
