PRESS COMMENT.
The Boys Take n Hand.

Notwithstanding that their fathers are
of exactly opposite political belief, little
Clarence Clark and Mr.. Felix Martinez
little 5-year old boy have compromised
their own political beliefs admirably.
Desiring to initiate the two big parades
young Martinez brought out Union and
Master Clark Republican transparency
They Immediately stripped the canvass
off of the Republican frame and carefully
tackled it at the bottom of the Union
transparency, then lighted the candle in
side, each securing torch, they carried
the combine emblem of Union and Re-
publican victory between them and led a
procession of little tots around Mr.. Mar
tinez's spacious yard, the maternal eye of
Mrs. Martinez seeing that no accident
occurred to mar their youthful pleasure.

Possible but Not Probable.

The Santa Fe correspondent of the
Denver Republican gives to that journa
the story. which has been current in the
territory for the last ten days, that an eff.
fort was to be made by the gold Demo
Gratis to have Mr.. Miller, the territorial
secretary, removed, before the meeting
of the legislature, and Mr.. Dame, late
gold standard candidate for congress, ap
pointed in his stead.
After giving the rumor above referred
to, the correspondent says: "Miller is the
personal friend of H. B. FERGUSON, the
delegate elect to congress, and both the
Republicans and sound money Demo
Gratis are after his scalp, especially as he
will be called on to swear in the men,
bers of the next legislative assembly,
which opens here in January. Miller has
made an admirable officer, but partisan
spirit runs high here, and it is said a
strong effort will be made to retire him
before the legislative session opens"
All this, of course, is possible, but it is
in nowise probable. Mr.. Miller is a
thorough-going Democrat, but has never
been, from Mr.. Cleveland's point of view,
an ''offensive partisan" While he is in
accord with his party on the currency
question he has never pushed his views
conspicuously before the public, and
while he did what he could in the late
campaign as citizen and without neg
Letting the duties of his office, or being
absent day from his desk, to secure the
election of Mr.. Ferguson, he
was astuated in common with
a large majority of the
people of the territory, BY desire to
protect the good name of New Mexico by
the defeat of Catron, rather than by any
partisan motive-and in this his efforts
were seconded by the gold Democrats of
the territory, the most of whom, together
with some thousands of Republicans,
voted for Mr.. Ferguson. So far as the

it was in no sense a partisan fight, but
strictly a contest between decency and

5000, which shows that at least ~ per
cent of the Republicans of the territory
voted for Ferguson.

would remove him at this late day for

parties in New Mexico for the suppression
Of most corrupt and disreputable ele-
