The Republican bill to authorize the
issue of 8 per cent. "coin" bonds to
strengthen the gold reserve, passed the
house last Saturday by vote of ITO to
1876. All the Democrats but one, Mr..
Hutchinson, of Texas, and Al Republicans,
voted against the bill. Mr.. Crisp was the
leader of the opposition. He took the
ground that there was plenty Of money in
the treasury with which to pay interest
and other government expenses, and
there is no need to borrow any more
money. He told the Republicans that if
they believed that the government obli-
cations were payable in gold, they should
provide for gold, instead of coin, bonds
and be done with it, as this would save
the country Sl6,OOO,0OO. He said that he
would not vote for such bill but that if
money was to be borrowed at all there
was no reason why congress should not
make provision for gold. There is no
reason whatever to believe that the bill is
going to pass the senate. The admins
tration is thoroughly disguised. Mr..
Cleveland wanted authority for gold
bonds or nothing, and, under the circum-
stances, will not wait for further develop
ments. 1t has been given out that he has
already announced his intention to make
another bond issue under the old law
that authorizes interest at the rate of 4 per
cent. but what the amount of the issue
will be, has not yet developed. 1t may
be anywhere from $4,000, 900 to S4OO, O,OOO,-
600.

BANOUETED THE CLERKS.

Quite pleasant event of the Christmas
holidays was sumptuous banquet to the
clerks of the Ganson Dry Goods company,
rendered under the auspices of Mr.. M. F.
Jones, the clever and energetic secretary
of that well-known concern, at the Parish
hotel, on last Friday night. With one

The banquet commenced at 8 o'clock
and lasted until nearly IL. 1t was most
jolly affair, hugely enjoyed by all the
participants. There were no speeches /;
but pleasant sentiments ran riot during
the evening all the same, and when the
happy company disbanded, it was with a
mental resolve of every member to con-
tinue to put forth everv effort for another
year of success for Secretary Jones and
the Ganson Dry Goods company.

With heavy war cloud lowering over

Certain Spartanburg people are
moving for the establishment of another
dispensary in the city. They claim
that under present conditions, the best
people of the city have to take their

MODEL POSTOFFICE.
Santa Fe Now. Boasts of a POst0fIict
That 1t Has Just Cause to BE
Proud Of.

Recent enduring and much needed i'm
provements in the historic government
palace in this city have resulted in giving
Santa Fe the neatest, most convenient
and commodious postoffice in the terri
tory of New Mexico with the possible
exception of that at Albuquerque, which
is rented and equipped by the postofice
department.
Heretofore, in making repairs in the
government palace as per acts of con-
gress making appropriations for the
purpose, the postoffice end of the build
ing has been neglected, chiefly on account
of the fact that the building was under
the custodianship of the interior depart
ment and the difficulty If bringing about
an understanding whereby the latter de-
partment and the postoftice department
could work in harmony.
Through the active and patient efforts
of Postm aster Gable, seconded by Secre-
tary Miller, an understanding was
reached some months ago between the
two departments, whereby it was agreed
that reasonable share of the appropria.
tion should be devoted to flooring, cell
ing, painting and otherwise improving
the interior of the postoffice.
These Improvements have just beer
completed, and in connection Herewith
Postmaster Gable has remodeled, re-
paired and freshly painted the furniture
and interior appointments OF the Office al
his own expense, very much improving
the appearance as we'll as adding to the
convenience of the Office and command
ing the applause of an appreciative pub
lie.

SWEET MARRIAGE BELLS.
MIR. George Lewis WHY'S and Miss
May NJ. X eller Married at the Pres
bytcrian Church Last Night.

Miss May M. Keller, one of the accom-
plished daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. W. H.
Keller, of this city, and Mr.. George Lewis
WHY'S, clerk of the New Mexico supreme
court and clerk of the United States and
territorial courts for the LIST judicial dis
trict, were united in marriage at the
Presbyterian church in Santa Fe last
night promptly after the hands on the
dial marked the arrival of the hour of 8
O'Clock.
Pursuant to the announcement without
cards) that all friends of the happy con-
tracing parties would be welcome, the
attractive auditorium of the church was
crowded with ladies and gentlemen some
minutes before the sweet and fateful
sounds of the conventional wedding
march gave warning that the stout yet
silken cords that had isresistibly drawn
two lives together were about to be firm
| ly tied in the beautiful double.bow knot
called marriage.
At 7:3O O'Clock the SIX ushers in full
evening dress, Messrs. George B. Brady,
R. 9. Gortner, W. H. Pope, Charles A.
Scheurich, j. T. Reeves and Albert Jones,
began to seat the incoming and expectant
friends, and a half hour later the bride
and groom attired in travelling suits, at
tended by DR.. J. B. Brady as best man
and Miss Maud Keller as bridesmaid, en-
tered the church. Moving in harmony
with the music of the wedding march the
bridal couple passed slowly to the altar
preceded by Mr.. Geo. B. Brady and Mr..
Gortner. There half circle was grace
fully formed by the ushers and at
tendants with the high contracting
parties appearing as the central figures,
altogether forming most interesting
and attractive group.
Then followed the simple yet impress
slve marriage ceremony of the Presby-
terian church faultlessly performed by
Rev. r. M. Craig, whose blessing upon
the two lives he solemnly pronounced one
was evidently heartfelt and met with are.
sponsive amen in every heart present.
After the ceremony the wedding party
and a number of intimate friends re-
paired to the BRIDES home, where an hour
was pleasantly passed in bestowing con.
CALCULATIONS and good wishes upon the
newly named Mr.. and Mrs. WHY'S. Then
came carriage and the manifestly happy
bride and groom of an hour before were
whirled away to the Santa Fe railroad
station whence they soon after took the
night express for wedding trip to Kan
sas City and Chicago. They expect to bt
absent about. two weeks.
The New MEXICAN joins their many
other friends In tending cordial congrat
ulations to Mr.. and Mrs. WHY'S and il
expressing the sincere hope that theil
future may be flooded with the pure sun
shine of health, happiness and pros
perity.

P0P0CRATs ALARMED.
Them to Quake, and With
Reason. TOO,

Causes for alarm multiply daily at the
headquarters Of the gang which is mas
querading as the Democratic party OF Jack
son county. Up to a few days ago the
gang leaders viewed with complacency the
sound money genuine Democratic move
ment. They do not and never have cared
a snap whether Bryan carries Kansas City
or not, their only concern being the saw
ing of the offices in Jackson county, which
have afforded them a living for so long.
They believed that while the sound money
Democrats would vote against Bryan and
might vote against Stephens, they would
not carry their animosity to the ticket so
far as to vote against the county ticket.
Last week they began to hear of so many
Democrats who had made up their minds
to vote the entire Republican ticket-re-
pu6iating the gang at the same time with
Bryanism-that they were greatly alarmed
over the threatened loss of votes
Shannon and the other bosses held a con-
suitation over this new danger which had
appeared to disturb their serenity, and de-
cided that q desperate effort must be made
to induce the genuine Democrats to at
least support the gang county ticket To
this end it was decided to make a per-
sonal appeal TO a number of the leaders
of the sound money Democracy in behalf
was prepared. Every one Of these 100 were
seen and personally interviewed on the
subject Of how they were going to cast
Kansas City daily journal., 1896-10-27

their ballots as regards the county ticket.
The Representatives of the gang pleaded
with thsrn, that if they voted the Repub-
Gcan national and state tickets to at least
take the time to write in the names of the
gang candidates for county Offices. To the
dismay of the gang bosses the reports
which these representatives brought in
after seeing the 100 sound money Demo-
Gratis was highly discouraging. They re-
ported that fully so per cent of the sound
money Democrats stated openly that they
had made up their minds to vote the
straight Republican ticket, and they did
not need any instructions as 10 how they
should scratch the ticket so as to vote for
the gang candidates. AS the gang leaders
realize fully that the few converts to Bry-
anism who have been made among the
Republicans do not intend to vote the gang
county ticket and as they will gain moth
ing from this source to offset the heavy
loss of the sound money Democrats they
are in despair. Confidentially they admit
that the jig is up with them, and they are
cnly hanging on in vain effort to save
Lowe and Stone, at the expense of the
other candidates.
