The PEOPLE ARE MOI BLIND.

Keeping quiet and pointing to the
price of wool is all that the Republicans
need to DO to carry this territory by
large majority. Vegas Optic.
If we had discovered the foregoing
paragraph in the pig-headed Albuquer-
que Citizen, we should not have been sur
prised, but we were good deal aston
shed to find such frivolous and ridicu-
lous editorial utterance in the Optic. If
the Optic sincerely believes (Which is
very questionable) that the eyes of the
people of New Mexico can be blinded to
the importance of the overshadowing
money metal problem, and deluded into
returning Catron to congress, by such
chat as this, it is strangely ignorant
of public sentiment. The people of
this territory realize that the depressed
condition of the wool market is due to
the same cause as the depressed condi-
tions of other commodity markets and
business generally; that the seat of the
trouble is found in the characterization of
silver and the attempt permanently to
foist upon the country gold monemetal-
lism; that the restoration Of silver to its
rightful and legitimate place in our cut
rency system will stimulate ali prices, re-
duce debt burdens and bring about a
fresh era of prosperity to the country in
which the producers of wool as well as
the producers of all other frnits of the
soil and human industry and skill will
share alike.

ARiZONA'S WAY.

Arizona Republicans have business
man to represent them in congress. That
body has just passed an act authorizing
the funding of all outstanding obligations
of the territory and the counties, munlci-
paltles and school districts thereof This
will help Arizona out of financial mud
die that has long stood as pail over the
territory. As a result Territorial Secre-
tary Bruce has just placed with New York
and London capitalists 100000 of Arr
IONA bonds for which he obtained trifle
more than par. Arizona makes no loud
boasts for her men of "hrains and energy"
but when it comes to sending man to
congress she prefers business man to a
tricky politician. 1t pays well, too!

PENETRATING A FRAUD.

SO Delegate Catron sent a written COM
munication to congress asking that the
Brio e-Coler fake bonds be validated, did
he? And Congressman Lacey remarked
that eff he (Catron) is perpetrating a
fraud upon his constituents in asking us
to validate these bonds, his constituents
will notify him Of the fact next Novem-
ber." Mr.. Lacey's political foresight
does him credit. Delegate Catron has
perpetrated fraud upon this people in
pushing these unlawful bonds before con-
gress, and he will be notified of this fact
next November in no uncertain tones.

Total delegates.

The county central committees of the
respective counties are hereby req uested
to call county conventions to be held in
due time for the selection of the author
lied number Of delegates to said terri
torial convention in accordance with the
rules and regulations, or the usages and
practices of the party in each county. 1t
is suggested that primaries be held in the
various counties not later than May 30,
and that the county conventions be held
not later than June 6, 1896.
In carrying out the orders of this COM
mittee at it's said meeting, all Democrats
ard all those who intend to act with the
Democratic party are hereby invited to
participate in the primaries in the re-
spective counties.
In view of the great weight which the
Dem ocratic delegation from this territory
had in the last national convention in the
selection of candidates for president and
vice president, and in view of the magni
tude of the interests involved in the COM
Y ' national convention and of the re-
CURING possibility for the exercise of po-
tent influence by New Mexico's delega-
tion, particularly in silver's cause, the
Democrats in all counties are urged to
make their voice heard in the primaries
and in the county conventions to the end
that our territorial convention may be
largely attended and representative
one, thus assuring the election of a dele
tion to the national convention composed
of Dem ocracys strongest and truest sons.
This is vital year for silver's cause and
it is the hope of this committee that New
Mexico Democrats will take vital part,
beginning down at the primaries.

PRESS COMMENT.
CatrOn is OdiOus.

The following Washington special to
the Denver News is interesting:
There are several reasons why New
Mexico was not given favorable consd-
Grafton at the hands of the present con-
gress. tn both houses bills are pending
which have for. their purpose the admit
tance of the territory of New Mexico into
the Union. Great pressure has been
brought to bear by the citizens of this
territory for the passage of the bills.
Perhaps the greatest hinderance toward
favorable action has been the fact that
President Cleveland is understood to be
averse to admitting the territory into
statehood. Another great obstacle in the
way is the present delegate from the ter
ritory, Thomas B. Catron. Mr.. Catron
has made himself obnoxious to members
and senators during the present session
and there are many Republicans who
would vote, out of mere hatred for Catron,
against any thing he might espouse. Mr..
Catron cameinto congress with the i'm
preston that bull-dozing would work in
the halls of congress. But he found himself
mistaken. He was soon sat down upon.
Every time he would bob up some mem
Der would hit him lick which would
keep him under water for several more
weeks. II is hoped that the people of
New Mexico will send to congress man
who is their real friend when they are
again called upon to elect a delegate.
