and influential has petitioned the
president asking that the wooden urn,
containing Hidalgo's remains, may be
exhumed from its present resting
place under the altar of the kings in
the cathedral and placed in the Ma
tional museum, that all may look on
the sacred relic and venerate it. The
president has, as vet, given no answer
but it is thought that he will concur
and in that case it will be a grand
gala day for the city.
Writing of Hidalgo / am reminded
that MeXicos liberty bell = that which
hung in the old parish church of Hi
dalgo Dolores and which Hidalgo, it
is said, ON the 10Th of September,
1919, rung to call the people not, as
usual, to church, but to arms against
Spanish dominion, has been brought
to the city and is now in the National
palace, where it rests. An handsome
cupola is to be erected on the palace
for the bell and there it will be hung
and preserved. This new addition
will be completed forthwith and the
bell hung therein. On the night of the
10Th of September next the tones of
that bell will be heard in the City of
Mexico. The president will ring it
before pronouncing the celebrated
lei Critic" and its tones will go roll
ing through the city not, as of old,
calling to the bloody conflict for lib
erty, but celebrating the glorious
struggle began by HidalgO, and won
by his noble compatriOts.

true that 'Old Glory" was flying gai-

so considerable festive bunting dis
played but there was no general cele-
bration as might have been expected
where there is an extensive American
colony. Some Americans took a holt
day and spent the day in gaia pleas
antry among their friends, but this
was personal and not general. There
would have been reception at the
American legation, but the death of
the charge d. affairs brother prevent
ed this, but that was the only recOg-
nized public thing on tapis. The only
attempt at public celebration was
that made by the Baptist Union ex-
cursfon party from San Antonio.
These met in the parlors of the Hotel
Jardin and held a semi-religious cele-
bration among themselves, but those
who wished were free to join them.

When Bombastes Furioso Bartlett,
chairman of the committee on resolutions
at the late Republican county convention,
brought in his type written report, he
explained that Messrs. J. G. Burdick and
Patrick Pagan, of Madrid, had exchanged
committee assignments, Mr.. Burdick
going to the committee on credentials
(which had reported and been discharged)
and Mr.. Pagan to the resolutions COM
mittee.
Chairman Bartlett then read the reso
tions, which were chiefly devoted to vio-
lent denunciation of the sheriff and dep.
uty sheriffs, and they were adopted.
Mr.. Burdick, who is manager of the
Madrid Mercantile company and in that
capacity has to handle large sums of
money, informs the New MEXICAN that he
declined to sign the resolutions because
he is himself deputy sheriff that he may
lawfully carry arms for protection and
because he knew of no reason why the
sheriff and his deputies should be 80 saw
agely assailed.
Mr.. Pagan was then called into the
committee room and hastily signed the
resolutions without reading them on the
assurance that they we're all right. He,
too, repudiates them, saying that he did
not know their contents till they we're
read and would not have signed them if
he had known their purport.

About His Splendid Cam

Hon. II. B. Ferguson, unquestionably
the next delegate to congress from New
Mexico, was a welcome visitor in the cap.
itol city this forenoon. He arrived last
night from the northeastern part of the
territory where he has been campaigning
all week, and at 1880 a. m. he left for
points in Taos and Rio Arriba counties
where he will put in the better part of
this week. Arrangements have been made
fol conveying the Democratic nomine 9
rapidly from one point to another. His
itinery in many respects is remarkable
one. He will be at Penasco tomorrow,
going thence to Rincones, Ranches de
Taos, Ell Rito, TERRA Amarillo and a
dozen other points in rapid succession.
When seen by New MEXICAN repre-
sentative this morning Mr.. Ferguson
appeared ia the best of spirits and as full
of vigor and enthusiasm as ever. He was
asked about the conditions in the several
counties and replied that everywhere af-
fairs indicate signal victory for Demo-
cracy and the cause of the people. He is
certainly making very industrious and
effective campaign and when he brings to
bear in Washington the same splendid
energy and earnestness that has charac-
terized his campaign work during the
past two months the people of New Mex
ice will reap for themselves those lasting
benefits which only the conscientious en-
deavor of their public servant can Sc
cure.
