HARD ON THE SOLDIER.
o. P. MCMAINs.

The Hardest, Most Trying and Least Honor
able Positions Reserved for Him.
The present administration owes It's
position to the soldier vote. Without
that support the present officers would
never have given up private life. They
never would have been elected to office
for the brief term of two years, to be
summsrily turned down.
1t has already been shown that res-
sonsble sense Of appreciation of the
support given by the soldier has not
been apparent. In the state house
twenty-five old veterans were displaced
and only sixteen were named in their
stead. In the state charitable institu-
tions less than 3 per cent. of the new
employees are veterans. After all these
places had been filed, nothing re.
NAMED but the penitentiary. Here,
then, was the place to square them
selves with the soldier. It is stated
that out Of about 100 employees, fifty.
FIVE are boys who wore the blue. This
great soldier-loVing set of officers could
not see their way clear to give these
men places at the top, where honor
and easy positions 60 hand in hand.
No. The positions reserved for them
were on the wall as guards carrying
Winchesters watching the outcssts
from society. They were placed in
these positions where sble.bodied men
find the duties very onerous, very ex-
hausting and an extremely hard strain
on the physical and nervous system.
If careful, systematic effort had been
made to locate the loyal and brave boys
in menisl, undesirable and unsuitable
places, these are just the jobs that
would have been meted out to them.
1t 10 certainly a condition which Is
discreditable to men who owe their po-
sitions to these same men who proved
their love for country by their record
thirty years ago, but who sadly erred
in casting their ballots last year.

About Nomination Panera.

Two kinds of papers are filed in nomi-
mating a candidate. The first, a certif.
cate OF nomination signed and sworn
to by the secretary and chairman of q
convention; and the second, a petition
signed by the requisite number of per-
sons. The latter is referred to in the
statute as q nomination paper, the
former as certificate of nomination.
In nomination by petition the num-
Der of petitioners is regulated by the
nature Of the Office to be filed. IL
state office, 500 signers are required; If
a county or district or division less than
the state, twenty-five Signers; and if a
city, town, precinct, ward or township,
ten signers. Each signer is required to
attach his postofice and place of bust
ness in signing petition.
The law in regard to filing either
kind of papers is the same. For state
offices, not less than thirty nor more
than sixty days prior to election; for
county or district offices, not less than
twenty nor more than sixty days; and
in cities, towns, wards, precincts and
townships, not less than ten nor more
than forty days prior to election. All
certificates are filed either with the Sec
retary of state or the county clerk.
Those filed with the secretary Of state
are for state or district offices, where
the district is greater than q county.
All other certificates, except in the
city elections in the spring, are filed
with the county clerk.
Either certificate of nomination or
q nomination paper must, in addition
to the names of the candidates, specify,
first, the Office to which he was nomi.
mated; second, the party or principle
represented, expressed in not more than
five words; third, his place of residence,
with street and number thereof. The
certificates must be sworn to and &C.
knOwledged before some person au.
thorized to administer oaths.
Populists everywhere should use
due care in preparing papers for filing,
and see to it that the papers are in
such shape that no advantage may be
taken of technicalities by the opposi.
tion where candidates are elected.

THE UNEXPECTED.
y Happened to Be the Two ConspiratO1s,
ElEins and williamson.


con May 26, 1877, Mr.. Stephen B.
Elking had applied to have a private
survey that had been made by VIII
llauA w. Griffin In 1870, in the interest
0f the grant claimant, and embracing
BOTne 100000 acres, adopted and ap.
proved as the official survey Of this
claim, and on May %, 1877, the sur
veyor general had, apparently without
instructions, entered into contract
with said Griffin and Charles Ell. Fitch
for q survey Of said claim. The spe.
cial instructions submitted with the
contract for approval were found OBJ
Fashionable, and the proposition of Mr..
Elkins to formally accept the Griffin
survey was considered imprScticable."
commissioner Sparks.
SANTA FE CONSPIRACY.
While Congressman Elkins was con-
spring with Commissioner William
son at Washington for "a survey
thereof" Hon. T. B. Catron (Steve's
partner), who held the tax-title certia-
cate, was at the same time conspirinR
with the surveyor general Of New
Mexico for "ssurvey thereof" Hence,
the unexpected happened. Immedi-
ately after the application by Mr.. Ell
kins May 26, 1877-to have the Griffin
survey Of 1870 approved, there came to
COmmmissioner Williamson a contract
BY Surveyor General Atkinson-Msy
28, 1877--with Messrs. Griffin and
Fitch for the survey of the tsx-titled
Maxwell grant. This was the unex-
pected-so soon, too, after Steve and
Jim had it all fixed to save our poor
government the cost of re.surVey by
adopting the Griffin survey of 1870.
DISTRACTION.
Surveyor General Atkinson, guided
by the decision of the supreme court
IN s'the Tameling csse," had contracted
with his deputies for a survey Of the
alleged Maxwell grant by the descrip-
ticn Of boundaries as set forth in the
petition Of the grantees, and with what

have resulted, namely, instructing his
deputies to meander the south summit
Of the Ration mountains and to thus
leave out all the land in Colorodo In.
clnded by the Griffin survey of 1870
that Elkins wanted approved. ) How"
you ask, "did this contretemps affect
Congressman Elkinsp Did he swear ?"
I know not; trust not; for such con-
duct on the part of congressman also
engaged in grand larceny would, to
say the least, be, like petty larceny, un.
dlgni6ed and unseemly. That Ste
phen, however, was mad when he
found that Atkinson had left out the
Colorado part of the old Griffin survey
Is unquestionable.
CRAFTSMANSHIP.
A statesman, however, bent on
steal, is not to be outdOne by the un-
expected. When the decision of Sec
fetary Cox came like q flash of light
ming upon the Colorado statesmen,
Caffee and Chilcott 1000 acres or
nothingP it blinded and psrslyzed
them, as we have seen, only tempo
Earily; for upon their speedy recovery,
they calmly faced the problem: "What
shall we do to beat Secretary CoxP"
And Elkins shows that he, too, had in
him the stuff that the Colorado states
men were made Of; for, although
The advocate., 1895-10-09

and the New Mexico statesman hG(
triumphed; he had stolen the COLORADO
coal and timber land in spite Of Sur
veyor General Atkinson.
''MY SURVEY.
The survey, then, of 1877, is em
phatically the Elkins survey. Sur
veyor General Atkinson's contract fol
ga survey thereof" is rejected because
Congressman Elkins is not willing tt
give up the Colorado part of the tax
title steal. A survey, then, including
in spite Of Surveyor General Atkinson
the Colorado part of the Elkins &
Catron tsx-title Maxwell grant, must
necessarily, be under the supervision
and control Of Congressman Elkins
He must have his man in charge oi
such delicate piece Of work as that
And this brings us to an instance oi
Commissioners Willismson's hypocrisy
as disgusting as that of the diagram
matter. He instructed the surveyor
general of New Mexico to ''select q
capable and disinterested deputy who
had no connection or business trans
actions referable to the interests of the
owners Of the grant, either in survey
ing the same for them or purchasing
lands falling within the grant, so thai
the deputy selected for the responsible
duties may be free from any bias or un-
due influence in the faithful execution
Of the survey" But Surveyor General
Atkinson knew, by the diagram in.
closed, that this severely yirtuous in
struCtion was all put on; for he at once
proceeded to select John I. Elkins, g
brother of S. B. EIkins, with s. B. Ell
kins on his brothers bond, and that
too, when he (the surveyor general
knew the survey was being made fol
Elkins & Cstron. Here is what Com
missioner Sparks says:
"The commissioner instructions tt
the surveyor general that a disinter.
ested deputy should be selected tC
make the survey, who had no connec.
ti0n or business transaction referable
to the interests Of the owners Of the
grant, appear, however, to have been
ignored by the surveyor general, and
his neglect of such Instructions does
not appear to have been dissppr0Ved,
for the contract Of survey was given
to brother of an alleged owner Of the
grant, and the alleged owner himself
was the bondsman, and this contract
obnoxious as 1t seems to be to public
morals and official obligations, was sp!
proved, and the survey thus made sp,
proved and patented. ."-(Lsnd Office
