THE BRAVE OLD GUARD.
COmmander-in.Ch Chief Walker Re
views the Year Before the q. A.
X. National Encampment.

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept. 3.-In his annual
address Gen. l. N. Walker, commander-in-
chief of the Grand Army of the Republic,
said to-day:
"The total membership of the Grand
Army of the Republic is 1885, ,4O6, OF which
340,610 are in good standing and 1851
are carried on the suspended list for nom
payment of dues. The decrease in this
list during the past year was 1850. The
gain by muster during the year was 49,
467. The total loss during the year was
IL ,406, of which number 1928 was by
death. When we take into account the
great business depression of the year,
the lack of employment, the fact that so
many veterans are possessed of such
small portion of this worlds goods, ETC.,
our membership has held its own remark
ably well. The report of the quartermas-
ter-general shows our finances In good
condition and that there has been a re-
duction in expenses. The fraternal feel
ing between the north and the south has
been steadily growing for generation
and the unpleasant memories of the late
war will soon be as completely obliterated
as were the angry passions of our English
ancestors in the great civil conflict known
as the war of roses.'"

NATIONAL POLITICS.

THE SITUATION CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.
Observation-Disclosures Gardner, sec
retary of the Democratic congressional
committee and of the National Associa-
tion of Democratic Clubs, is very we'll
satisfied with the political situation. He
was asked what truth there WAS in the as
sertion that the silver enthusiasm was dy-
ing out in the west.
'None Whatever" he promptly said.
"The masses in the west are profoundly
convinced of the wisdom of bimetallic
policy and they will express that convic-
tion in November. 1t has been the Re-
publican policy always to claim every
thing in sight and to prosecute their cam
paigns with bluff and braggadoclo, but
the sentiment of the people this time is
too deeply rooted to be disturbed by
glamor and brass band tactics.
"The sentiment is increasing and ex-
tending all over THE country wherever
men till the soil or work with their
hands. There is in every heart among
the great common people, as Lincoln
called them, warm pulse of patriotism.
They see the inconsistency of the Repub-
lican cry of protection to our industries
from foreign competition while they as
loudly cry that we must have financial
policy dictated by foreign powers"
Mr.. Gardner added: SIN my visit to
Pennsylvania found that the working
men were perfectly familiar with the
sophistry of the talk about a 50-cent dol
lar. They know that such claim is the
veriest sort of twaddle and il will be
gratifying to me if the Republicans keep
up this kind of Misrepresentation, for it
is strengthening the Democratic cause
every day. The wholesale charges of ig-
norance which the advocates Of a bimetal-
lie standard independent of foreign ma
tions are assailed with is also having
good effect for our side in the fight It
comes home In the nature of direct in
suit to An American citizen of humble
surroundings to call him fool and to
confine all the intelligence of the country
to the rioh and powerful.

is shown in the activity Democrats are
everywhere displaying in campaign work.
have been secretary of the National As
ISOLATION of Democratic clubs ever since
it's formation, and never before has there
been such deluge of applications for
charters as that now in progress. The
demand comes from every point and near
ly every application states that former Re-
publicans are among the members of the
organizations.
The reception to Mr.. Bryan everywhere
shows how deep hold the principles he
is advocating, and especially the money
question, have on the minds of the peo-
pie, The Republicans pretend to rdicole
this and to attribute the Bryan crowds to
mere curiosity. If they would think
moment they would remember that
curious person is the most impression
of all. The history of evangelism in re-
ligion shows that the curious were at

"And that is the way with Bryan. He

Surprising Paper Filed.

surprising F6per FllcOs
At the incoming of the New Mexico
supreme court at o'clock yesterday
afternoon the following surprising paper
was filed:
In the supreme court of the territory of
New Mexico, July term, 1896.
Francisco Gonzales y Borrego,
ct AL,
Plaintiffs in Error.
The Territory of New Mexico,
Defendant in Error.
Now comes the plaintiffs in error in
the above entitled cause and move the
court to set aside the Judgment entered
herein and to grant new hearing in
said cause, for the reasons:
1st The supreme court in it's examina
tion into said cause has neglected to look
feet of the omission in the record to
show that any arraignment of plaintiffs
in error was ever had in the court below
before or at any time during the trial of
said cause.
End. Because it does not appear from
the record in said cause that either of the
plaintiffs in error were ever arraigned or
pleaded to, or had an opportunity to
plead to, the said, Indictment against
them.
3rd. Because it does not appear in and
by the record herein that there was any
issue Joined in the said cause before the
trial thereof or during the trial thereof.
And plaintiffs in error further move
the court TO award a new trial of said
cause.
OATRoN, Sp1Ess & GoRrNER.
Attorneys for Plffs. in Error.
And in support of the above motion,
plaintiffs in error cite the case of
Grain vs. United States, 1862 U. 8. 625.
The undersigned counsel for plaintiffs
in error in the cause mentioned in the
foregoing motion, hereby certify that the
facts as alleged IN the foregoing motion
in regard to the record in said cause, are
true, and that the said motion and the
reasons given therein for rehearing are
we'll founded in point of law.
CATRoN, SPIEss Il GoRrNER.
Attys. for Plffs. in Error.
The authority cited in support of this
motion, Grain vs. United States, 1852 U.
s. Rep, 625, holds that if the record does
not show that the accused were not for
merry arraigned, or did not plead to the
indictment, a verdict of conviction must
be set aside.
The court denied the motion on the
ground that the omission upon which 1t
was founded was mere clerical error of
the clerk of the district court, that as
matter of fact the defendants were form
ally arraigned before their trial was COM
menced, and that the record could be
amended so as correctly to show the fact.

In order that the omission in the rec
ords of his court might be supplied in
their presence, Judge Laughlin this morn
ing sent for Francisco Gonzales y Borre-
go,Antonio Gonzales y Borrego. Lauriano
Aarid and Patricio Valencia and their at
torneys, Messrs. Catron / Spiess, to meet
him in chambers.
Accordingly, soon after II O'Clock, the
four condemned defendants named, their
attorneys, Solicitor General Victory, Dis
trict Attorney Cr!st, and few others as
sembled In the court room before Judge
Laughlin. In order to avoid needless con-
fusion and risk, the general public was
excluded from the room.
District Attorney Orist thereupon pre-
sented written petition reciting the
fact OF the clerical omission in the record
of the district court, stating that as
matter of fact the four defendants were
duly arraigned before their trial began,
and praying the court to order the record
amended accordingly. The petition was
founded upon the following afiadavit:

An Ugly Domestic Mess.

Denver, Sept. 3.-Herman Metzler, a
rancher living eight miles northeast of
this city, shot his wife in the head early
this morning, then shot himself in the
head also. The wound not proving i'm
mediately fatal, Metzler attempted to cut
his throat with jack.knife, inflicting a
horrible wound. He was brought to the
hospital in this city. 1t is thought he
may recover. The woman will probably
die. Metzler is 35 years old; his wife 23.
He was jealous, accusing her of intimacy
with Joseph Winston, farm laborer.

Catron 4 spiess Protest.

Messrs. Oatron & Spiess protested
against the correction Of the error in the
record as prayed for in the petition. Mr..
Catron contended that Judge Laughlin
had no power to make the amendment to
the record contem plated, that it certain
" could not be done during vacation in
chambers, and that the record could only
be amended before Judge Hamilton, who
was the trial Judge.
District Attorney Crist stoutly contro-
verted all these propositions, quoting
numerous authorities to show that the
prayer of the petition should be granted
in order that falsehood might not be
perpetuated.
Mr.. Catron then stated that, regardless
Of the affidavit of Mr.. Renehan, he dis
tinctly reoollected that the defendants
we're not arraigned, and offered to sustain
this proposition by his own affidavit and
the affidavits of Mr.. Spiess and the four
defendants.
Judge Laughlin then announced that he
would not accept or consider afIidavits az
against the sworn statement of the official
stenographer of the court.
Mr.. Catron then asked for further time
to examine the books and Judge Laugh
lin told him that he would await him In
