BAYARD's OEFENsE.
Un-American Utterances Which Lead
to His Censure.

From his speech at Edinburg, Scotland.
In my own country | have wit
messed the Unsuitable growth of that
form of state socialism styled ''protec-
ton. which, / believe, has done
more to foster class legislation and
create inequality of fortune, to cor
rupt public life, to Danish men of in
dependent mind and character from
the public councils, to lower the tone
of national representation, blunt pub
lie conscience, create false standards
in the popular mind, to familiarize it
with reliance upon State aid and
guardianship in private affairs, di-
vorce ethics from politics, and place
politics upon the low level of a mer-
cenary scramble, than any other sin
gle cause.
Step by step, and largely owing to
the confusion of civil strife, it has sue
ceeded in obtaining control of the
sovereign power of taxation, never
hesitating at any alliance or the re-
sort TO any combination that promised
to assist its purpose Of perverting
public taxation from its only true
justification and junction, Of creating
revenue for the support of the Gov
eminent of the whole people, into an
efgine for the selfish and private prot
it OF allied bene6ciaries and combina-
tons called trusts" Under its dc
tation individual enterprise and indie
pendence haye been oppressed and
the energy of discovery and invention
debilitated and discouraged.
1t has unhesitatingly allied itself
with every policy which tends to com
mercial isolation, dangerously de-
pletes the Treasury, and saps the pop
ular conscience by schemes of corrupt
ing favor and largess to special class
es, whose support is thereby attracted.
Thus it has done so much to throw
Legislation into the political market,
where jobbers and chafferers take the
place of statesmen.

Your Present Need

Is pure, rich blood, and strong and
healthy body, because with the ap-
proach of spring and the beginning OF
warmer weather your physical system
will undergo radical changes. All
the impurities which have accumulat-
ed during colder weather must now be
expelled or serious consequences will
result. The one true blood purifier
prominently in the public eye today is
Hoods Sarsaparilla. It's record of
cures is unequalled. It's sales are the
largest in the world. A few bottles
of Hoods SarsapariIla will prepare
you for spring by purifying and en-
riching your blood and toning and in

CatrOn's Mission.

NJ Catron's Mission.
From the New Mexican.
Mr.. Catron's friends before the Las
Vegas convention were profuse in
promises as to the money he would
send to each county, and this had q
great influence on the faithful. Now,
it appears that he does not propose to
spend his own money, but is immedi-
ately going east to see the national
committee and get them to furnish the
fund. He tried to get Solomon Luna
to &c with him, but so far be has moi
succeeded in that. A good many peo.
pie think that his success with the
committee is doubtful, and that the
Colers and other bondholders, who
are the only people interested in biz
election, will have to put up the mon.
ey. At any rate, this is the object Of
this hurried eastern trip, though as q
cloak and to gain credit with a certain
element, it is given out that 1t is on
account of the Borregos. But every
one knows that the presentation of the
Borrego papers to 8 judge is q mere
formal affair, and that Mr.. Catron
would not leave New Mexico at this
critical time for any such object, but
would send n of the ''boys."

WaIIanai Indian Feast.

Army worms by the million have
made their appearance in Mohave
county since the late heavy rains, but
are doing little damage to vegetation.
The coming Of these worms was hailed
with delight by the Wallapai Indians
Of Arizona, who have been feastiDg on
them for weeks past.
The squaws and papooses gather
them in great baskets and bring them
into camp, where they remove their
heads and drain the contents of the
worms bodies into a big kettle. The
skins are thrown away. The kettle is
put over a fire and soup Of the richest
KIND manufactured from the contents.
10 flavor it resembles mock turtle.

and Just how 30 many ~iil-mannsred hood

opera house In that city last Saturday, was
a frequently asked question which went
unanswered.
Kindly allow The OPrIo to answer
A representative Of this paper visited

hoodlums, as the Range chooses to call
them, we're business men. mechanics,
railroad men and laborers, most Of
whom have been lifelong republicans
They came to the convention Of their
own free will and the only thing or
which the Range could ground
its charge upon, is that when q dele
gate would say a word in favor Of sill

that the gallery be cleared for this Of

For Delegate to Congress,
H. B. FERGUSON,
OF Albuquerque.
FRIDAY EVENING. OCT. 2, 1896.
THE REPUBLICAN MINORITY,

Liz pIOCccuibSo a. H"S~ f
can convention were 30 unsatisfactory
that our report was not as full as usual,
and we notice that even the Citizen
only gives a brief summary, evidently
thinking the least said the better; but
before the occasion is passed by, it is
proper 10 chronicle the action of the
minority, which is the only bright spot
in the proceedings. The minority re-
port from the committee on resolutions
was signed by Messrs. Bursum. Long,
Prince and Sheridan, representing So
zorro, Sierra, Rio Arriba and Grant.
The twenty.three votes for that report
came from these counties, together
with parts Of Dona Ana and Mora.
Unanimous consent having been given
to Governor Prince to make a state
ment, he spoke substantially as follows;
"The platform contains about twenty
planks. With the greater part OF 1t l
am heartily in accord, but l disagree
with the financial plank. As every one
here knows, l believe in the restoration
of the financial policy established by
the fathers Of the republic, and under
which we grew from a weak colonial
condition to be the greatest nation
upon earth-the free and unlimited
coinage of gold and silver, at the ratio
of Is to /. do not believe that we
can enjoy full prosperity till we have
the restoration of honest money OF
ulvaryiug value, by the reconciliation
of silver. / think we should to .day re-
affirm our financial resolution Of 1894
point. 1t was the unanimous belief
then, and it is certainly Inconsistent to
change without any cause, and es-
pecIally when the present condition OF
the country only emphasizes the reas-
ons which led us to believe in and
adopt 1t then.
ssSeveral members of the committee
agreed with me in this view. On the
other hand, there was a considerable
number who desired the adoption of
the st. Louis platform, pure and SIM
pie, without qualification or addition,
and with no provision for the silver in
dustry.
"Under proper congressional legisla-
ton, that industry IS the largest In New
Mexico. The government reports show
that for a number Of years it produced
$4,000, 900 annually here; while
through decentralization it has gradual
ly decreased, until last year the pro-
duct amounted to less than $500. 600,
showing a yearly loss to our people Of
$2, 700, 900. While failing to obtain
recognition in the platform for the i'm
mediate restoration of bi-metaliism, as
we hoped and desired, we did succeed
in inserting provisions beneficial to this
important industry.
ave have felt that this statement
was due to our consistency before the
world and to what is aver more i'm.
portant, u W personal self-res-
pect."
