The Report Confirmed.
BosroS, July 16.--The report OF the
death In Canada OF ex-tiov. Russell, oil
sachusetts, is confirmed at the
office of Mr.. Russell in this city.
A private message received here says
that ex-Coy. William f. Russell died
in bed during the night at Little
Pabos, Quebec.
Ex-Gov. Russell arrived there from
Boston Wednesday afternoon, and
pitched his tent for few days hsh-
ing. lie was accompanied by his
brother and Francis Peabody. They
all retired early last night, the gov
ernor apparently In good health and
spirits Upon his companions trying
TO arouse him when morning came
they discovered that he was dead
The position of the body and the eS.
pression on the dead mans face showed
that his death was painless.
[IIon. William Eustis Russell was
born in Cambridge, Mass, In 1887, lie
was educated in the public schools and
I In Havard college, where he graduated
t In 1877. lie then began the study OF
r law under his fathers direction ana
3 took course OF three years In the
. Roston University law school. He was
: admitted to the Suffolk bar in the
April term Of 1880.
Mr.. Russell was only 2s years old
when. in 1885, he was elected mayor o.
e his native city, having already served
as councilman and alderman. In 1881
=. he was nominated for governor, bu'
" was defeated by Ames. 1t was In thu
"a year that Gov. Russell gave evidenc'
of his gifts as a stump speaker. III
> worked and talked incessantly, goini
n about from one place to another. y
was renominated for governor II
in ,sse. This time his competitor wa
t;oy. Bracket. Mr.. Russell, at the en-
Id of a vigorous campaign, reduced tn
lv nlurality Of his opponent from 2s,Ooo
es airs. Next year, on his third trial, \
el was elected by plurality OF 1000
his inaugural message he suggeste
b- many reforms in state management
pr hut few of them became operativ
hv owing to hostile legislature and
10. hostile council. Russell was re-eiec
tic ed governor of his state twice. II
retir cd at the end of his third term
mn resume the practice of law.
Russells name was mentioned BY h
admirers in New England as one whit
would look well at the head OF v v
democratic national ticket. AT '
'r'' Jefferson celebration in Monticel
early in this year, the ex-govern
Oh made strong declaration in favor
ora honest money. He was associat
lol- with Senator Hill and ex-Seereta
vas Whitney in the contest over the pl
leu form at the recent Chicago'convenI..l
pa and kept his state in line with N
York against free silver.

believe it to be the best expression of
Democratic faith ever emanating
from an assembly of Democrats, and,
while thus indorsing and adopting
the Chicago platform, we desire par
ticuiarly to express our gratitude to
the members of that convention for
those portions of that platform which,
without equivocation, and in lam
guage which can not be misunder-
stood, favor the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
!, without waiting for the consent of
any other nation, and which declare
for tariff for revenue with duties so
adjusted as to operate equally
throughout the country, and not dis
terminating between class or section,

OF protection which is accorded by
law to the manufacturing industries

REMEMBER that vote for the return OF
Delegate Catron to congress can be con-
strued In no other way than as a vote in
favor of the valuation of the fraudulent
Brice-Coler railroad bonds, which would
result in the virtual confscation of fully
half the taxable property in Santa Fe
county. These bonds, including accrued
interest, amount in round numbers to
S750,000. Their valuation would min
this city and county beyond the hope of
redemption; would rapidly drive all
forms of movable personal property out
OF the county; would render it impossi-
bic to do business here; would thus place
the entire burden on the real estate,
which would thereby be so deprecated
that it would not be worth the face of
these bonds. These are plain, unvar-
nished, undeniable facts. They merit the
most serious consideration of every tag
payer and especially of every owner of
real property.

BRYAN'S ELECTION CERTAIN.

Last January the New MEXICAN con.
tldently proclaimed the conviction that
if the Democratic national convention
adopted an uuequivocal silver platform
and placed aggressive silver candidates
thereon, it would triumph in November
We then commended that such candi.
dates would be sure of 2O3 electoral votes
in the states west of the Mississippi and
south of the Ohio river, and would easily
pick up the required twenty-one votes to
makeup amajor in such doubtful states
as Illinois, Michigan and Indiana.
The Democratic national convention
did adopt American bimetalism as its
battle cry and selected the ablest possible
champions of that patriotic principle for
president and vice president. And now,
as the most memorable campaign in the
history of American politics is nearing
its close, we rejoice that our prediction
OF ter months ago seems certain to be a
great deal more than verified.
All the signs now indicate beyond
reasonable doubt that Mr.. Bryan will not
only carry the 203 electoral votes claimed
as sure for silver In January, but will
just as certainly carry the sixty-two cleo
toral votes of Illinois, Minnesota, Michi-
gan and Indiana, giving him 265 votes
In the electoral college or forty-one more
votes than he needs.
1t also appears more than probable
that he will carry the twenty seven votes
OF Iowa, West Virginia and Maryland,
and the actions of the goldbug managers
make it perfectly evident that they place
Ohio, New York, New Jersey and Della
ware, with total of seventy-two votes, IN
the doubtful column. Certainly, under
the inspiring leadership of Mr.. Bryan,
the silver supporters are making a gal
liant fight in those states and would un-
questionably win if the campaign of edu.
cation could be prosecuted there for a
few weeks more.
Under the circumstances, however, we
10 not claim the four states last named. We
imply predict that Mr.. Bryan will emerge
romthe battle of the ballots with 265 and :
probably 292 electoral votes. His cleo.
ion we candidly regard as certain az the
coming of election day.
