THE POPULIsT NOMINATION.

Whatever may be the result Of the
populist nomination OF Gov. Prince
for delegate, it is certainly a strong
personal compliment to that gentle
man. For a party to go outside Of Its
own membership and select q prom
inent member of another organization
as its standard bearer, simply on ac-
count of acknowledged qualifications
is a rare occu rrence. When, as in this
case, they 60 further, and formally state
by resolution that they do not ask him
to subscribe to all their views or to
charge his party connections, but are
satisfied with his we'll known person..
character, it Is even a greater ccm-
pliment. By 10 doing the populists
have shown a patriotic spirit, and that
their only desire is that the Territory
shall be ably and satisfactorily repre-
sented at Washington.
They claim to have nearly 5000
votes. But supposing their strength is
but 1885, polled two years ago, the
republicans have now an opportunity
of adding thas number to their own
strength and thus insuring the election
without trouble and carrying the legls.
lature and many county tickets. On
the other hand, should those 1885 be
added to the Ferguson column, the re-
suit is easy TO see The path OF wisdom
and success is obvious. Whether the
republican convention will take adj
vantage Of the situation remains to be
seen.

THE "AMERICAN PRODUCT,

Now it appears that many Of thu
goldites in the convention are anxious
to compromise by a resolution for thu
coinage of the "American produst.'
If this is expected to conciliate the bi
metallists in the Territory it will be 9
failure. 1t would not suit anybody.
IL is out of harmony with the old plat.
forms of the party in New Mexico,
which declare for the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver.
1t is entirely out OF harmony with
the St.Louis platform, which declares
for unlimited coinage, after an interna-
tional agreement. To talk Of an inter-
national agreement as to the American
product is ridiculous.
The difference between the St. Louis
platform and the New Mexico platform
is as to time, the latter calling for i'm
mediate action aud the former for a
prior agreement with other nations.
Both recognize the de~sirabllity of un-
limited silver coinage, but disagree as to
the method of obtaining it. The Gamer
lean product" idea Is opposed 10 both.
But the great objection is that it Is H.
logical. 1t would do nothing to raise
the standard of the world, aud thus
raise the prices of our wheat, cotton,
wool, corn and other products; but
would be recognized as simply a piece
of selfish legislation for a single inter.
and SO rigLtfully open to all the
criticism which the eastern press ma
liciously pours on the bi-metallic cause
In general. The so-called sssilver men,
OF New Mexico are we'll informed on
the whole question and their support
be had by any such chsff as
talk of the "American product" Per-
haps some common ground of agree
ment may be found, but it will not be
in this line.

THE PARTY IN NEW MEXICO,
On to. morrow the republican con.
v~entIon OF New Mexico will convene in
this city. The s.sober, second thought
OF every true republican will be for
measures that will keep the party in
power 10 this Territory. II will be BIZ
a few weeks now until the election
will be over and II any man so far for
gets himself as to do an act that will
for the next ten years assist to turn
New Mexico over to the democratic
party, he certainly will have cause ia
regret 1t as long as he lives a republi.
can, for the republicans are in the
majority in New Mexico, and 1t would
bs criminal were an abstraction to SO
divide the party that the rule OF the
state would be given over TO the de
mocracy.
The wise course is easily to be seen.
In 1894, all republicans were satisfied
with the Socorro platform, which was
friendly to silver. 1t is the same to-
day, except that the feeling OF some is
all the more intense. With a plank In
the platform, tomorrow. that Is friend.
ly to silver and with a candidate who
Is known to champion the cause Of the
white metal, there can be no doubt but
that the republicans can sweep every
thing before them in this Territory
this fall; and not only that, but they
can make New Mexico forever, and
stronger than ever, a republican Ter
ritory and a republican state, when 1t
enters the sisterhood. II we turn from
our course Of duty to make ourselves
agreeable to the national leader, ignom-
minious defeat and disruption will be
the consequence. The OPTIC sincerely
hopes that the leaders will waive any
personal interest they may have and
stand cut honestly for the preservation
of the party in New Mexico. Let it be
so and all will be well.

UTAH is a ull.fedged state and her
political movements are of some cor
Germ to the national parties. In this
connection it is pleasing to note that
Utah republicans have reached a com.

then, rather ridiculous that a few men
in New Mexico should insist upon the
disruption Of the republican party for
the sake of berg in accord with the

REPUBLICAN MONEY PLANK 1894


We affirm that the demonstration of sill
yer has not only reduced the value Of that
metal, but by increasing the purchasing
power of gold, has correspondingly de-
pressed the value of all products and COM
modities and increased the burden of all
debts, thus crushing the agricultural and
other producing classes, as well as the ell
yer miners of the country, and no perma-
nent return of general prosperity can be
expected until bi-metallIsm is re-estab-
lished by the free and unlimited coinage
of god and silver, as it existed from the
foundation of the government TO the year
1873, at the ratio of 16 to l, which we insist
shall be done without waiting for the CO.
operation OF any nation or nations, and we
call upon all opponents Of silver to point
to any good hat has come to this country
or the world at Jorge by demonetizing
silver.
We arraign Grover Cleveland as the
arch-enemy of silver coinage, and the
chief supporter in this country of the
mono-metallic creditor class of Europe
for the corrupt use of the executive power
and patronage in coercing the action of
congress on the repeal Of the Sherman
purchase act; and for the veto of the bill
to coin the government silver now lying
useless in the treasury, and We charge that
the democratic party, while having su-
preme power 10 the government. has not
passed any measure whatever favorable to
silver coinage, or to the lessening of the
burdens of the people.
