TURN DOWN CATRON.
Editorial in Denver News.

Editorial in Denver News.
The people Of New Mexico owe it to
themselves, and to the reputation OF
their Territory, to defeat Tom Catron
as delegate to congress. One term OF
his services ought to be quite sufficient.
During the single session in which he
sat in congress he brought a wealth of
odium on himself and on the name of
New Mexico from which it will not re-
cover for years. To a great national
body, he brought the small tricks of a
Territorial legislature, and the natural
result was that he soon made for
himself a reputation anything but en-
viable.
One OF his tricks was an attempt to
introduce political legislation into an
appropriation bill, and secur a change
in the manner of organizing the Terri
torial Legislature of New Mexico. He
did succeed in sneaking it through the
house, and with the aid of his old partner
and co-laborer, Senator Elkins, antici-
pated clear sailing in the senate. But
Senator Hill exposed the job, and Mr.
Catron's scheme of controlling the New
Mexico legislature by means of an act
of congress, came to grief.
Another OF Mr.. Catron's legislative

1t stands for good government. It
has brought law and order, protection
to life and property, where before
armed desperadoes rode. unmolested
through our streets, assassinations were
numerous, and no man Knew, on re.
firing at night, that his house would
not be burned over his head before
morning, his stock be slaughtered, and
his own life imperiled. Under the
government Of the union party, these
things have not been.
1t is not a political party, but is com.
posed OF the best elements OF all the
parties. Better republicans than Hila.

canno be political, and a be bound
together only by a desire for the best
interests of the county.
1t Is the party of economy. To save
to the county $40, 900 in one aiminis-

of, and it is n which the people will

For these reasons, the people of San
Miguel county are much pleased with
this party Of good government, and in

Two years ago, THE OPTIc had the
pleasure Of supporting j. s. Duncan
for the Territorial council, and the
paper is glad that in the combination
of political interests, it is able to do so
again. There are few men in New
Mexico more worthy OF the undivided
support of the people than Mr.. Dun
can. A man Of the people himself, he
cannot be other than a friend Of the
people. Sagacious %inplanning, honest
in dealing, industrious in business BY
bis own efforts he has arisen to q con-
dition of comfortable competence,
while no man car lay aught of i'm
propriety at his door, He has been a
large employer Of labor, paying good
wages with promptness and regularity.
No man a say that Jim Duncan has
grown rich, by grinding the face of
the poor. He is, as he always has
been, the friend Of the poor man; and
when he takes his position in the Ter;
ritorial council, of which there is not
a shadow of uncertainty, nj one can
doubt that his voice and his vote will
be for every measure conducive to the
public good.

For the second time, Henry Coke
has been selected by the dominant
party of the county, as their candidate
tor treasurer. Nomination, in this
case is equivalent to election, and it il
well for the county that it Is 80. Mr..
Coke is the president of two banks,
the Ration National and the Las Vegas
Savings, and is reputed 10 be the
w~ealthiest man in San Miguel county.
Yet he came to this county, years ago,
a poor and unfriended boy, and his
present prosperity is the result Of a
laborious, frugal, honest and sagacious
business career. He has not blunder-
ed on to his wealth. as many have done;
he has not accumulated it by misery
or parsimonious savings as is often
the case; he has not defrauded others
for his own gain, as too frequently has
been the custom 10 America during
recent years; but Mr.. Goke's success
in life has been secured by close at
tention to business, by sagacity In in
vestments, by honorable dealings with
all. These characteristics have made
him hosts of friends, who desire him
for county treasurer, and who will see
that he obtains the position for which
he Is SO eminently fitted.

far as developed tends to show that
an endeavor will be made-is now
being made in fact-to show that
Hirsch Harris was the man who was
responsible for the shortage. The
only crime SO far that they have been
able to fasten on Harris is in discover

per authorities and using every effort
to detect the thief. Whether they
will ask for an Indictment on this

ore was followed from the surface and
is about ~ in width and is of an OK
cellent smelling character and aver
ages from % to 80 per in copper.
The indication at the bottom of the
shaft is favorable to striking a big
body of ore soon. Over 400 tons of
high grade copper ore have been taken
from this mine in the past.
