The Black range. (Robinson, Socorro County, N.M.) 1882-1897, 1896-05-08

The Albuquerque Citizen. the
champion republican goldite organ
of New Mexico, has officially an
nounced that Mckinley will get the
six solid votes of New Mexico at
the st. Louis convention. That an
nouncement will probably stimulate
the money changers Of Wall street
to double their bets on Rothschilds
favorite candidate-McKinley.

An Infamous Plot.

"THE BLACK RANGE continues to find fault
with the republican territorial convention
which met at Albuquerque to nominate dele
gates to the national convention. THE BLACK
RANGE pretends to believe that 1t would
have been more effective In the interests Of
silver, If the convention had hurled defiance
at a gold-majority congress and placed q
positive bar to the admission of the territry
to statehood. AS a state the resolutions
passed at party conventions, as well as votes
cast for president, senators and congress
men would carry with them weight and
would render valuable aid in the cause OF
silver remonitization The republican con-
vention did not care to indulge in futile
barking like q fice."-Silver City Enterprise.
We had all along expected that, If
the Enterprise ever attempted to de-
fend the infamous plot enacted at the
republican convention held at AL
buquerque, that 1t would, at least,
present a reasonable excuse for SO
doing, but the so-called defense. of
that usually intelligent paper, is a
miserable failure. According to the
doctrine Of the Enterprise, in order
to secure the reconciliation of sill
yer, the people must elect another
gold-bug president and more gold
bug senators and representatives.
The gold-bugs who controlled that
convention accomplished their OBJ
ject-to support the goldite republi-
can presidential nominee-and to &C.
compllsh that object they prostltuted
every honorable principle Of their
party. THE BLACK RANGE does be-
lleve that it would have been more
effective in the interest Of sill
yer, if the convention had hurled
defiance at a gold.majority In con-
gress. Statehood for New Mexico
has been prostituted at the hands
Of goldite ofice-seekers who use it
as a campaign dodge to attract the
attention Of the people from the
silver issue. That convention was
packed and run by the goldite state
hood boomers In the interest of lie
Kinley, Elkins and Catron. Should
New Mexico be admitted to state
hood during the present session Of
congress, Catron would be the gold
ite standard bearer Of the gold-bug
statehood wing of the republican
party Of New Mexico. and that was
the %treacherous scheme the goldite
republicans of that convention, so
far as electing gold-bug mckinley
delegates to the republican national
convention, is concerned. The fail
nre of congress to admit New Mex
ico to statehood has brought upon
the republican goldite press the bur
den of re-attempting to fool the
people by "piously" advocating gold
lite statehood which means. If sue
cessful, the election of more goldite
senators and representatives to the
congress of the United States. The
unsophisticated Enterprise openly adj

majority Is a republican majority
