A Few Lines 10 Bre'r Morrison.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, Nov. "a, 1S95.-It
really seems too bad that our beacon light
of G.. O. P "A. l.. Morrison,) should have
| to go so far from home to work off his
inspiration of bile and gall in such a
weakly" so-called newspaper as the
Ration Range. 1t can be accounted for
possibly by repeating the old saw "that
birds Of a feather will flock together" as
we'll likewise swine, and just by the mer-
est accident it has come to my notice that
some of our worthy and respected citi-
zens and Democrats were being maligned
in this remote effusion, the editor of
which states in the self same copy: "that
no lawyer, politician or both combined,
has written anything for the Range"
which is in truth and perfect accord with
his rag, for Morrison appears to have
signed said flood of thought; of rot and
lies. He would have it appear that all
our Dem ocrats in Office in New Mexico
are dishonest; boodlers, drunkards and
other like sweet things did he say of
them, from the governor right down
along the list, in rotation; nor did he
omit to make mention of and condemn
the supreme court for their light sentence
of Editor Hughes, who after having
pleaded guilty and apclogized to said
court, he contends, should have had
jury trial, land, of course, he means a
packed and bribed jury, such as once
washed him whittier than SNOWY
The editor of this narrow minded sheet
seems to have gotten inspiration from
Morrison's rot, and, in what purports to
be his editorial columns, is discernable
evidences Of the slop-over, in harmony
with said article, and there are ear marks
of said Morrison in other parts of the
territory. These editors must be in
nocent and susceptible indeed.
The Democrats are trembling in their
boots for fear of an investigation which
such saint as Bro. Catron will cause, says
Morrison, and will try to stave the same
off by making it appear that this would
injure our chances for statehood. What
stuff; as if any of our Democrats do not
court an investigation, which will never
come, for the reason that it might reach
back too far and dig up rottenness and
shortages, such as we're in vogue during
the time said Morrison was in Office. The
Democrats, too, know how much of q
chance there is for this territory becom-
ing state under the present G. O. p,
majority In congress, which for your in
formation, is controlled, body and
breeches, and made up largely of
society known as the A. P. AS, which
said society is only composed of G. o.
P's., and has for its object and bylaws
the ostracising, politically, in business,
socially and otherwise of all who belong
to the Roman Catholic faith.
The edict has long since gone forth to
their henchmen and people in congress,
that the Catholic territory of New Mexico
shall not be admitted, and he who coun-
tenances such will be RECALLED to the back
ground by said society. 1t matters not
that it is unconstitutional, it is fact.
Get out of your narrow sphere and look
about you at what is being done in all the
eastern and northern states, as also many
of those in the west, and you will find it
is far-reaching, and strikes even the
smallest offices in the municipalities.
What, then, can you, Mr.. Morrison, expect
of your delegate under such conditions,
except, mayhap, little more wool cover
ing for the eyes of those who will not see.
One of our esteemed citizens and Office
holders comes in for roast, because he,
forsooth, did as much as to ask the board
of canvassers of certain section to re-
canvass the returns by which Democrat
was being cheated out of his rightful seat
in the council of this territory by cor
rupt Republican territorial official. Our
worthy secretary, too, did wrong to or
ganize Democratic Legislature when he
had the voters back of him; (which ia
"an illegal Democratic mob,")
and other and like Doodle, drunken things,
did the Democrats do at divers times
which hurt the sensitive heart and eager
longing for pelf, of this man Morrison, and
for which they must pay the penalty of
their crimes?
Did it ever occur to such as Morrison
that the heat of his G.. 0. P-ism might
melt the frail glass of his castle-which
pebbles would penetrate,-and that 1t is
not for such frail and weak beings as he
10 attempt to write or speak of his bet
ters, in or out of office? Men who are
above his petty tricks and are not the
ick-spittles of one who cracks the whip,
md who do not have to be white washed
~ partners in crookednees.
Can his memory reach back far enough
20 recall the time when he and bondsmen
we're sued by the q. s. government, for
'hortages as U. 8. marshal; and can he
nform longing public why and how a
district Judge could adjust said account
the books of the treasury depart
nent?
Are you fond Of your brother Reps
Who are awaiting homeopathic dose of
ope, and who once used to run your cleo
ions in this city, and for whose crimes
Democrats, (even those who we're in
Washington, D. CO. were indicted as a
'lind by packed grand juries9
II You would care to monkey with the
'uzz-saw, the memory of the writer is
ar-reaching, and your abuse of our citi-
ems and Democratic office-holders will
ot be tolerated. Please to remember
his when you are again afflicted with q
freak of G. O. PA. P. A. hilarity.
