CRATIC PARTY.
Two separate county conventions
were held on the same day at the coun-
ty seat. The popullst c9vention was
presided over by j. D. Bone, chairman,
and Andy Kelley. secretary. The de-
mocratic convention was presided
over by d. S. Miller, chairman, and
Col. Crawford, secretary,

missioners Of the End and 9rd districts
and the treasurer; the democrats to
name the clerk, commisslgner LIST dis
trict, probate judge, supt Of SCHOOLS,
coroner and river commissioners.
The populists made the following
nominations. For sheriff. August

ers, W. S. Hopewell and D. s. Miller.
After the separate conventions had
made their nominations a joint con.
vention was held with Chairman Bone
and Chairman Miller occupying the
platform. 1t was in that convention
that a new political party was formed
and consolidated as the Silver Demo
cratic party of Sierra county and the
nominees of the joint convention
were ratified.
AS to Legislative members a delega-

Our Position.

A republican subscriber having
asked THE BLACK RANGE why. as
as a life long republican, 1t favors
The Bryan silver democracy of New
Mexico instead of standing by the
grand old republican party and free
silver, and in reply it SAYS;
THE BLACK RANGE does not hest
tate to make the announcement
that it indorses the ticket put into
the field by the SILVER Democratic
party of Sierra county.
Well-meaning republicans tell US
chat the great republican party al
ways fulflls its pledges to the peo-
pie. Generally admitting the truth
Of that assertion, it moves us to
admit that that Is the very reason
why THE RANGE Endorses W. J..
.L
Bryan for president and why it
stands IN favor of the Silver Demo
cratic party of Sierra county. The
republicans in national convention
at st. Louis ~emphatically declared
TO the American people that they
would establish gold monometallism
in this country, and believing that
the republicans will, if Mckinley is
elected, carry out that promise, con-
s%equently we advocate the uncon-
taminated silver advocacy of the
party that emphatically declared for
the free and unlimited coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to /.
Eighty per cent of the state re-
publican conventions sent goldite
delegates to the st. Louis conven-
ton to assist in nominating Nc

The jury in the murder case OF the Ter
ritory Us. Jose Padilla, after being out
since Saturday evening, brought 10 a YER
dict this morning Of guilty in the first de-
gree. This means that the death sentence
will be passed.
HISTORY CT THE CASE.
Juan Garcia was found dead one half mile
3lst, 1895. 1t was at first thought he was
killed by lightning, while out hunting his
| horses, but, after the body was taken to
his home and examined, 1t was the opinion
| OF all who saw him that be was murdered,
as the wound on his body was evidently
quiet citizen, about forty years Of age.
Sheriff Hilario Romero was at once no.
titled and he left for Ribera, taking with
him DR.. M. M. Milligan and Judge II. s.
Wooster. A coroner's jury was called and
a verdict OF death by a gun-shot from the
hand Of q person unknown, was returned
The matter was not allowed to rest at this,
however, and there being but two guns in
the village, they were called for. Padilla
was the owner OF one of these guns
and when asked to produce it denied
having IL, A search was made, and the
gun was found secreted between the mat
~tresses of his bed. The cartridge, found on
the spot where the murder was committed,
fitted the gun exactly, and the qua showed
that 1t had been used recently. A man, in
| the employ of PadilIa. swore that shortly
before the murder he had seen Padilla go
ing up on the mesa, with his gun. Z
The motive for the murder was that
Garcii and Padilla were partners in a
grist mill and Padilla held a two-third in
terest. He probably simp'y wanted Gar
cha out Of the way as a matter of business.
Padilla Is a pious looking old fellow, and
would be taken fer any thing else than a
murderer, but il reports are true, Garcia's
blood Is not the fret that he has had upou
his hands. His doom now seems certain.
