B1oGRAPHIoAL-REPREsE CLANcEY.
Hon. John g. Clancy, who represents
the county of Guadalupe in the lower
house, comes, like Speaker Dame, from
New England. He was reared in Brattle-
boro, VT, where he received high school
education from one of the best institu-
tions in Vermont. When still quite young
he, took to the sea and for eighteen years
was engaged in that arduous yet alluring
calling. He was for many years COM
mander of vessel that piled between
New York and Sar Francisco and many
are the interesting stories of adventure
on the high seas, with which he regales
his friends in his leisure hours. After his
sea service Capt. Clancy took up the
occupation of stock broker in San Fran
cisco, in which business he was as highly
successful as in his other enterprises.
Noting, however, the great natural re-
sources of New Mexico, he decided to
locate in this territory; and accordingly
in 1872 he settled in the vicinity of Puerto
de Luna, now the county seat of Guada-
lupe. Here he now lives on magnificent
ranch of 1000 acres, stocked with
$4,000 head of sheep and equipped
with all the conveniences of modern life.
Mr.. Clancy was married in 1878; and the
family which las grown up as result of
this union fills to overfowing the cup of
happiness of the genial head of the
household. Mr.. Clancy was a member
of the last constitutional convention
held in this territory and last fall he was
elected to the legislature in what has
been regarded as a Democratic county.

preciated BY him because they were un-
eought.
1t is simply recording facts as they are
to say that there is no member of the
present house more highly esteeme6-it
might almost be said, beloved-by his
colleagues than Capt. Clancy. His cool
judgment, untiring industry and sociable
temperament all 60 to make up the model
representative that he is. He is man of
strong conviction as any one who will
converse with him on the wool aspect of
the tariff question can discover; and it is
this very firmness In what he considers
right that gives him the enviable pos
session of the affection of his neighbors
and constituents and the esteem of the
people of New Mexico.
THOSE MILITIA CLAIMS.
In reference to the militia warrant bill
introduced yesterday in the council by
Mr.. Gales no mistake should be made
connecting these with the so-called cold
war warrants" The fact is that in 1885
Geronimo, with his murderous gang OF
Apaches, was terrorizing southern New
Mexico and the militia we're called out by
Governor Sheldon to assist the regular
army in driving these rsnsgades out OF
the territory. That the militia did good
and efficient service can be we'll attested
by looking over the records In the ONCE
of Adjutant General Knaebel, whore
every muster roll of troops who served,
and every voucher for supplies furnished
is open to inspection. These accounts
have been investigated by committees
appointed by the territorial legislature
