The Doomed Men.

Sheriff Felix Garcia, of Rio Arriba coun.
ty, with W of his regular deputies and
Special Deputies Tucker, Hagan, King aud
Vipond, of this city, will leave o-morrow
morning for TERRA Amarillo, with Per-
fecto Padilla and Rosario Ring, sentenced
to be hanged in Rio Arriba county, for
murder, on next Thursday forenoon, says
the New Merican.
From Cbamita, the prisoners will be tax
en- overland to the county seat OF Rio Ar
riba county. To guard against the posi-
bility Of an attack from %rescuers, the gov
ernor has ordered a detail of the local cav
airy company to meet the train at Chami-
ia this afternoon, and form an armed es-
cort for the party to its destination.
The detail, under command of Lieut..
Sherrard Coleman, left for Chamita this
afternoon. 1t consists Of Sergeant La
bouche aud Privates Herlow, Strong, Ote-
70, Goldorf and Wesley.
The question of Dionicio S~andoval's
sanity being brought up, Governor Thorn
ton appointed a committee of physicians in
Albuquerque to make an examination Of
the condemned man.
after a very thorough examination at
the county Jail yesterday" remarked
DR.. Hope to a Citizen reporter, "with the
aid of q good Interpreter, we agreed to ad-
wise the governor that we were unable to
find any insanity either personally in the
prisoner or in his family. He is thirty
seven years old, OF sound physical health,
and according to his own statements has
n,ver been sick in his life. HIS mental
equipment is not of a high grade, neither
is it In a marked degree below that of men
Of his opportunities"
Since the above examination was made,
there seems to be no possible escape of
Sandoval from the gallows, next Thurs
day.
By order of the supreme court Of the
Territory of New Mexico, on Thursday
next, the oath day of September, the sher-
if of Chaves county will take Antonio
GONZALES to some convenient place within
said county and hang him by the neck un-
til he is dead. This is the demand OF just
ice and the verdict of the court. 1t Is all
that can be done, but it is a poor recon-
pense for the cruel midnight murder of
poor Charley VanSycle.
Eugenio Aragon, who was implicated in
this murder, and who was to have been OK
ecuted at the same time with Gonzales,
cheated the galIows by committing suicide
a few days ago.

that they will stand up and look you In the

They avoid discussion on the money ques-

The republican county convention was
held In this city, yesterday, for the pnr-
pose of selecting delegates to he TerrItori-
al convention. Naturally the newspaper
looks upon the secretary Of any meeting
for the minutes Of the same. This hal
never been refused The OPTIC until
to-day. When a reporter called upon X
l.. M. Ross for a copy Of resolutions
etc. OF yesterdays convention Mr.. Ross
said that there was but one copy and It
could not be trusted out OF his sight. The
I reporter asked TO be allowed to copy the
same under Mr.. Ross watchful eye. This
was refused him on the ground that II
would take too long a time and consequent
ly the people will not have the privilege OF
reading the disgraceful resolutions which
send delegates to the Territorial conven-
ton with their hands bound and their lips
sealed to do the bidding Of the bosses.
Nearly every other county In New
Mexico has sent to this ofice,
without the asking, q report Of its county
conventions and 1t is pleasant to relate
that most Of them are In favor of bi-metal
lism. and that 1t now looks pretty certain
that the grand old party Of this Territory
will harken to the voice of the people and
stand out as the friend of bi-metallism

Dona Ana County VIII Send a Delegation Repre-.
senting the Honest Sentiment Of
That Section.

To the Editor of the Optic.
LAS CRUCES, N. NJ, September 21st, 1896.
The Dona Ana county convention to elect
delegates to the Territorial convention to
be held in your city on September 28th,
was held at the town of La MesiIla on the
10Th inst. and the following delegates were
elected: Hon. John R McFie, Judge Mar
cial Valdez; Hon. Martin Lehman, Hon. s
P~edregon, Hon. A. L. Christy aud Major
w. Fl. II. Llewellyn.
The delegation 10 uninstructed, but is
opposed to the adoption Of the financial
plank In the st. Louis platform, for the
reason that it means the loss of the legisla-
tive ticket In the six southern counties. 1t
Is understood that the approval o a plan
to coin the American product would be a
happy compromise.
The course Of THE Optic on recent politf-
cal uttsrdnces is approved By nearly erery
republican in the southern half of the Ter
ritory.
We believe that the fight this fall, SO far
as we are concerned, should be on local
issues.
We have confidence that Major McKin-
ley is a true friend Of the white metal, bas-
ing this conclusion on his past record and
his able address on hat subject at Toledo,
Ohio, in 1891.
We do not think thatsto please a few fell
lows who are looking, as we believe, to the
fishes and loaves, that we should swamp
out local tickets in this Territory and en-
danger the election Of the delegate and
the legislative ticket.
We believe that Major Mckinley would
prefer that we win in New Mexico and not
make asses Of ourselv es in doing the heroic
to please the bread and butter brigade and
thereby go down to certain defeat.
From private sources received through
Senator Allison Iowa will give Mckinley
any where from so, 1000 to $4,000 majority.
Yours truly,
m LAS CRUCES.

Building and Loan Esectjon

At the election Of officers of the Mutual

but very few changes were made in the

The matter OF the removal Of the office
was discussed and it was decided to move
the office in with Wise & Hogsett on CON
dition that the landlord would build a
suitable fire proof vault In the room.
The association appears to be in a most
healthy and prosperous condition.

which is to the various organizations of wage
earners both an example and an encourage
ment. Associated effort for the Improvement
Of the condition of the worlds workers is
one OF the inspiring features Of modern life.
The drum-beat Of progress, to which the on
ward march of an uplifted humanity is keep
ing glorious step, gives out no more tunefUl
cadence than that which marks time for the
marshaling hosts Of toll. The National Asso-
citation of Letter Carriers, to which your local
society is subordinate, is working out con-
spicuOus platform, under the eyes of all
men, some of the hardest problems of the
age. You have fought the battle of an eight
hour day, and won a notable victory You
have demonstrated that enough good work
can be done in an eight-hour day to- satisfy
any reasonable demand, and you have not
abused the privilege. You have submitted
to what you deemed an unjust interpreta-
tion of the eight-hour law until it could be
judicially tested. The highest court in the
land has sustained your contention; the in
justice has been corrected, and you are to be
literally paid for your overtime You are
impregnabiy intrenched in your advanced
position, unless through ill-advised demands
for too much you cause a reaction in public
sentiment. By the earnest, well-directed ef-
forts Of your praiseworthy organization you
have secured your fair but not eXtrayagant
salary and your eight-hour day. You earn
all you get both of public favor and official
emolument. You are entitled to it all, and
more. But you would never have reached
your present position without organized ef-
fort. have cheerfully recognized your local
association and at my suggestion you have
chosen conference committee for consult
ing with the postmaster on all questions Of
interest. The department approves your ma
tional association and co-operates with It.
So long as you merit that approval and secure
that cooperation you will succeed. That you
receive it is the best possible answer to the
carpfng critics who see in your efforts to
better your condition menace to the inter-

ience to regulations. the St. Paul letter car
riers are equal to any body of men in public
or private service anywhere on earth.
That l have not sighted my official duties
during my term you will doubtless bear
cheerful witness. l have certainly averaged
nine hours a day on duty six days in a week
during the entire four years. I have been at
and have. as rule, found plenty to occupy
my mind. l have found the work not only
exacting, but absorbingly and Increasingly
interesting. The postal service is a Wonoer-
full piece of business mechanism. There is
science and philosophy in it; there Is poetry
in 1t; there is romance in it; there is also
plenty of hard work in it. / am glad 10 avail
myself of the presence here tonignt Oh many
Intelligent citizens to say few words ABOUT
the history and magnitude OF this service.
/ sincerely regret that have not time to de-
tail to them some of its inside workings.
To go back no further than the period of
the Declaration of Independence, we find the
mail department Of this country to be very
crude inefficient and insignificant affair. The
postage on letter from Boston to New York
city in those days was "a cents; from Bos-
ton TO Virginia, As cents. The speed Of trans
mission was in very fair inverse ratio to the
expense. In 1890 the total income of the post
office department of the United States was
S37, ,945 for the entire year-an amount Whlch
is now frequently exceeded by the income OF
the st. Paul postoffice for a single month.
Verify, those days were of small things. The
successive steps by which postage has been
reduced, while the speed of transmission and
accuracy of delivery have been enormously
augmented, need not be narrated here. The
increased volume of the postal business OF
the country from one decade to another Is
fair measure of the increased intelligence,
prosperity and happiness of the people. 1t

IN THE ST, PAUL P0STOFFICE,

In September, 1886, the letter car
riers Of St. Paul, not to be outdone
by any other city in America, formed
a temporary organization for the pur-
pose of presenting a unanimous opin-
lon upon the (to them) all-important
question, at that time before congress,
of lessening the hours Of labor for letter
carriers, which then ,anged from twelve
to fifteen hours daily. Frank H. Grant
was chosen president and Henry A
Monroe secretary of this organization,
which. while working Independently,
kept up continuous correspondence
with all similar Organizations through
out the country, also with the represea-
tatiYes in congress, setting forth the
justice Of an eight-hour day. But it
soon became apparent that closer union
and better organization were absolutely
necessary in order to accomplish any
thing, and as though by a common inn
pulse the desire sprung up almost
simultaneously throughout the country
for a national organization, which was
"A. B. Foster and Thomas O'Dea repre-
sented the local organization at this
meeting.
& Upon receiving their report the st.
