A POLITICAL FoRECAsr,

Now that Hon. j. G.. Clancy has
stated, wi'h assurances, that his bust.
ness interests will not permit him to
accept another term in the legislature,
it becomes the duty of every public
spirited citizen in Guadalupe county t.
nominats a candidate who can
be relied on to foster the inter-
ests of the new county. Any one who
is familiar with the political situation
down in Guadalupe couaty knows that
the republican ticket can only succeed
with a very strong name at its head
1t requires a man whose honesty of in
tention rises above the thought of
gain. 1t also requires a man who
holds not only the confidence of the
stock-growing interests, but more par
ticularly the native, laboring class.
Capt. Clancy fulfilled all Of thes
requirements with unanimous satisfa
ton, and it is with deep regret W
learn of his intention to retire. 1t Is
needless to enumerate the long list OF
services he performed during the sss-
sion. The law enforcing the dipping
of range sheep was sufficient to endear
him in the minds of the advanced class
of sheep-growers.
We hear it rumored that the name Of
Simon Frankenthal is being considered
by the more influential candidate
makers as a probable successor. |
Mr.. F%rankenthal would make a
most desirable candidate for many
reasons. He enjoys the confidence Of
every voter in the county, personal
,s eanpes eilsss 1Saf from duty, his
of the native population,
James guage and customs, is COM
opera nd his influence extends over a
Cri,to part Of the Territory. Mr..
~Jamykenthal is a strong believer in a
p~opnantial tariff on wool-a disciple OF
ms silver coinage-and will willingly
nd his aid to any measure that is for
he trne good Of the Territory. His
long business experience 10 the Terri
tory will enable him to easily sift
Of good and evil intent and
Ehe latter will never enlist his support.
