methods advocated by the large majority.
Those are the figures of the vote upon
the question.

Star special says that Senator Weissinger
is dead. Weissinger had been i'll for sew

into pneumonia. He WAS made much
worse by the excitement Of Saturday.
Weissinger has constituted the back

Hunter or Blackburn would have occurred
weeks ago. But for his release of Cham

The only immediate effect of his death

of Nearly S500.000.
BILL TO LEGALl2E FRAUDULENT BONDS
Righteous Indignation Among All
Glasses of CitiZens-PublicM Meeting
in Progress-Fraud and Collus-
ion Vehemently Denounced.

Under decision of the u. s. supreme
court $434,000 of the bonded debt of
Santa Fe county have been declared
illegal. Theseebends were issued in con-
sequence of most flagrant bunco game,
in which certain speculative influences
got control of the legislature and secured
the passage of an act which, contrary to
the plain provisions of the Organic Act
!. of the territory, purported to legalize the
voting of bonded aid to railroads by
counties in the territories. After hard
fought legal contest the U. s. supreme
court nearly two years ago held in n
strong and exhaustive opinion that the
territorial Legislature was specifically for
hidden from authorizing the voting of
such bonds. This decision was received
amid great rejoicings by the people of
Santa Fe county. They had blindly, and
fooishly, been "worked" by unscrupulous
persons until they found themselves face
to face with confscation of their prop.
erty. They had paid interest on this
illegal debt for many years until they
were we'll nigh bankrupt. Their county
debt was nearly 100000 and two-thirds
of this consisted Of this bogus railroad
bond debt. After the supreme courts de-
cision the county authorities resolved to
cease paying interest on this class of
bonds and practically repudiated the
whole transaction so grossly forced upon
them by fraud, collusion and official cor.
ruption. After the supreme courts dec
laration that such bonds were unauthor-
ized by law County Treasurer H. B. Cart
wright served public notice that no more
Of the peoples money would be used to
meet the oppressive demands of the shy
locks. Public sentiment unanimously
approved of this stand and the county
board of commissioners adopted the fol-
lowing:

NATIONAL POLITICS.

Washing gton.-Mr. Jefferson NJ. Levy,
an important factor in Democratic pol
itics IN New York, tells the st. Lous Re-
publc's correspondent this:
u believe the prospects of the Demo-
cratic party are frightening every day.
In New York state the Republicans are
demoralized beyond any hope of getting
together again, and it will be surprise
to every intelligent student of politics in
that state if the Democrats do not carry
it at the fall elections by 10000 majority.
Why! Because the business men are dis
gusted with the attitude of the Republi.
cans, both in congress and in New York
state. Particularly is the Indignation
and anger widespread in the latter in
stance. The Republicans have had con
troll OF the city government of New York
less than year and half, and in that
time have increased the amount collected
by the way of taxes and bonded indebted
ness from the people of the city over
$l9,0OO,O0O. The present year will see
those figures 60 to $25,O00,00O, and there
is to be still further increased taxation
on basis Of an increased assessment of
valuation. The Republican Legislators
has been rushing the gag laws through
with outrageous effroutery. Bills have
been passed largely taking away the
power of cities to govern themselves and
placing their most vital interests in the
hands of state commissioners"
MIR. Levy says that New York will have
no candidate to present in the Dem ocratc
national convention. "It is taken for
granted" said he, shat the candidate for
president will be western man. New
York will support any good Democrat
that the west unites on. II western man
is nominated for president on sound
money platform and when say sound
money do not necessarily mean the
single gold standard then the New York
delegation may present the name of ex-
Gov. Roswell P. Flower for vice presi-
dent

A BIT OF HISTORY.


In order to fully explain the situation
it is necessary to go into history bit.
Senator Calvin Brice, of Ohio, and Moore
& Schley, of Wall street, own the T., $. f.
authQrities decided to abide by the su-
preme court decision and refuse = to pay
them because they were not lawful. Brice
ct al took the best legal advice to be had
and learned that they conld not hope to
establish their validity by filing suit
against the county. Coler & Son, of New
York, who own $262,0O0 of the same class
of bonds, had similar advice. Then Brice
looked to congress fnr relief. After the
bill TO approve the bonds for the rebuild.
ing of the capitol had passed the house
and gone to the senate Brice saw his OPP
portunlty, so he went before the commit
tee on territories and added this amend
ment, and after brief explanation by
Brice, An explanation as plausible as it
was devoid of truth, the senate passed the
bill.
The measure now goes into a confer.
enoe between members of the two houses
and if much time ia lost the job may be-
come law before our friends in congress
can be made aware of the real motive of
the amendment.
As for the Coler bonds they also will no
doubt be legalized unless the protests by
our people are made vigorous enough to
show up the whole fraud. The wires have
been kept pretty hot to-day aud the con-
ferees on the bill have been urged to
withhold final action till they can be com
municated with by letter.
AS the New MEXICAN goes to press a
public indignation meeting is in progress
at the court house, snch meeting having
been called un behalf Of the Board of
Trade by it's president +. 7. Webber, and
on behalf of the county authorities by G.
W. Dudrow, chairman of the comfy board

cause, it appears, from the Congressional

word of protest against this seandalous
attempt to perpetnate fraud. Indeed,
it was stated by one member of the sem
