ed in the Rincon Shaft. Yet We quote
the following from it: II addres w.
II. Thornton from the exalted position
of a partizan in partiZan politics, be-
cause that is a lofty plane which the
noblest citizens have heretofore occu-
pied still do occupy and upon which |
have u%ndisputed right. Had he shown
sufficient public spirit to have become
a sincere partizan, New Mexico and
the United States would not be sham
med by the spectacle of one, who, with
in a month after his Inauguration, aye,
even before that Inauguration took
place, scheming with mugwumps and
those criminally inclined to villfy and
displace honorable officials and politi-
cal opponents, who would not allow
him to appropriate the public service
for his very private schemes, of one,
who is SO scantily equipped with the
wants and desires of New Mexico, as to
propose that some of its chief indus
tries should be Kindred and harmed by
foreign competition duty free. Had he
attained the position eve of an honor
able democratic partlzan these letters
would never heen written. He seems
incapable of taking good advice and
like "lhe father of lies" preverse in his
ways, pursues the wrong instead of the
right. Thornton's policy which is
'blundering and his actions which have
a similitude to crimlnality stand as a
barrier to statehood for New Mexico

Taking Advantage of His Ego

The democratic bosses had an object
in view when they raised the cry that
the republicans has but n available
man for delegate and that man being
Mr.. Catron, and they are crowding hard
to gain that point-they are working Mr..
Catron's egotism which furnishes them
with an abundance Of raw material
free from duty. Their experience in
last election showed them that they
had an easy Victim, and now the demo
cratic bosses propose to take advantage
of MI. Catron's egotism that makes him

ter than his party, and the democratic
bosses are not only assisting MI. Catron
to cultivate this bigoted idea but they
stump him to come out and meet his
late and victorious opponent Mr.. Jo-
seph, which is equal to shaking a red
rag at an enraged bull. This is a sharp
piece of generalship on the part of the
democrat bosses, for they well know
what the result will be it they can sue
coed in nominating both CONGRESSIONAL

The Santa Fe New Mexican cares
nothing for the free coinage of silver,
in fact it is TOO tritling and dislOyal to
the interests of its birthplace and the
people of New Mexico to allow itself to
even support the democratic cry for
the free coinage of silver. The fact is
when Thornton got his appointment he
surrendered his rights as a free-born
American citizen and so binding are
the stipulations that the New Mexican
dare not oppose the administration by
making a manly stand for silver. In
its imbecile attack on Mr.. BANDS
silver policy the New Mexican, in
genuine administration fashion, said !;
"What the west wants is to win, and if
the presidents idea is given a fair
trial we believe victory will result"
The New Mexican's set of demagogues
care nothing for silver and far less for
the vital interests of New Mexico and
its people; all they want is to
win "A political victory for Cleveland
and his infamous administration to
whom the members of the gang traded
off their birth rights to for pie. Gro
yer Cleveland's idea" is their only god.
