The Chairmanship

As the time for the meeting of the ter
ritorial Democratic committee draws
nearer it becomes more and more ap-
parent chat the chairman will be San
ia Fe man and that either Secretary
Miller or Surveyor General Easley will
be selected. 1t has been urged, and
Justly too, that the chairman Of the ter
rltorial committee ought to be- resi-
dent of the territorial capital and this
is generally admitted BY Democrats
throughout the territory. 1t has been
known for some months that Chairman
Crist would resign at the first meeting.
Neither Secretary Miller nor Gen. Easley
is seeking the place, but It is asserted
on good authority that neither will re-
fuse to serve the party in that capacity
in case OF his selection BY the commit
tee as both men feel that they are under
great obligations to the party.-Silver

Further FROM the Washington Strike

Glowing reports continue to reach
Santa Fe respecting the fabulously rich
strike in the Washington mine, near
Bland, in the Cochiti mining district. In
the face of thirty-foot drift and at a
depth of fifty feet, six and one-half fee.
of ore has been encountered, carrying
laminated and wire silver and being
heavy in gold. The supposed value OF
this ore is from $500 to $4,000 per ton
and probably more. A number of per
sons in Santa Fe are interested in proper
ties located in the neighborhood of the
Washington and naturally they are elated
at the grand showing of mineral the lat
ter mine is making. Before 1896 melts
into the past the most extravagant
claims that have been made in behalf OF
the Cochiti district will be more than
verified. Mark this prediction.

Some of the arguments advanced by
Democrats who will swallow their con.
victions and support Bryan are ingen-
ious, though they can hardly be self.
satisfying. 1--WE must obey the party
call, !" is the general tenor of their re-
marks. Bryan and Sewall will receive
the votes of thousands of Democrats
who will ut the same time pray fol
their defeat. This is partisanship run
mad Parties are but means to an
end. That end is the prosperity of the
nation, so far as it can be promoted
by the government. A voter should
support whichever party he believes
best qualified to achieve that result
Whenever, by the shifting sands Of
politics, a party takes Il stand that does
not commend it to the voter who has
formerly acted with it, his duty il
plain. lie should bolt. To follow his
party into wrong or what he believes
to be wrong is unpatriotic. 1t is plac-
ing party above country. Hide-bonnd
partisanship is one of the worst foes OF

Each party is figuring now on il
chances of success in the November
election. The contest is sectional in
nature. the East against the South an(
West. There is no reasonable doubt
| that all the New England and Middl,
states will go for Mckinley, though
Delaware and Maryland should BIZ
placed in the doubtful column. These
states will give the Republican ticket
III electoral votes. The Democrats
are only certain of the Southern states,
with the exception OF Tennessee, Ken
lucky, West Virginia and Missouri.
They can count on 100 votes in these
states. Here are only 2l7 OF the Az
electoral votes accounted for. We
should place all of the remaining $50
votes in the doubtful column, because
any Of them are likely to 90 to either
candidate, though some states are GER
tain to be closer than others. The
states of Republican tendencies are
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa. The
vote of these states, which are very
probable to 90 Republican, is 40.
California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana,
Nevada, Missouri, Kentucky, Tenn
essee and Utah are pretty sure to 90
tor free silver, which would raise the
Democratic electoral vote to 1866,
against 227 Republican. There are
still ga votes remaining, cast by the
states of Kansas, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, Wyoming, Delaware, Nebraska,
North and South Dakotas, Oregon
and Washington. 1t requires 224
votes to elect, so that the Republicans
will win If they can only carry the
states reasonably certain to them,
while the Democrats must add to
solid South solid Westand then carry
some one of the central OF eastern
states. The chances are all against
them. 1t is much more probable that
some states of the West and South
will give Republican majorities. The
great battle ground will be in the re-
yion between and adjacent to the Ohio
md Missouri rivers. 1t will be a warm

A not uncommon combination OF
campaign buttons worn in this section
is one for Mckinley for president and
one for DR.. Jackson for governor. We
welcome all such evidences of ten
dency to turn toward the light, but
wish our boiling Democratic friends
could see their way clear to drop a
vote for the Republican candidate for
governor in September. Then, and
not in November, is when they can
most effectively vote for Mckinley and
rebuke their party. The November
election in Vermont is a mere matter
of form, while a rousing Republican
majority in September will carry its
glad tidings from ocean to ocean.

The country was greatly shocked
by the sudden death last week OF ex-
Gov. William +. Russell of Massachu-
sets, which occurred while he was on
fishing trip in Canada. He died in
his sleep, from heart failure, without
any apparent pain. His exertions at
the Chicago convention and his disap-
pointment in the outcome are held to
be in large part responsible for his
early death. He was only 80 years
old. Gov. Russell was one of the
most prominent figures in American
public life. Few men in the course OF
long lives achieve the great successes
that he attained in few brief years.
He had wonderful hold on the peo-
pie of Massachusetts, rs was evinced
BY his three successive elections to the
governorship as a Democrat, though
the state is unquestionably Republican.
His views were always clear, his exc
cution firm. As an orator he had few
equals. The state and nation mourn
his untimely death.

they will adopt some fiat paper money

The plank in the Chicago platform
denouncing federal interference with
riots was put there at the bchest OF
Altgeld who has never forgiven
Cleveland tor ordering national troops
to Chicago to suppress the Pullman
riots when the local and state authors
ties had failed to do so. This is a
startling declaration against law and
order and in favor Of anarchy. 1t
needs no further attention.
For the first time comes a demand
for no life tenure of office. The effect
of this change would be to place the
supreme and minor courts Of the ma
ton and the states within the control
of the politicians, who could influence
them according to their desires. This
is the browning intamy Of the platform.
1t aims at the heart Of law, order and
Justice and can find no defense except
in the depravcd minds of the political
plotters who would overtllrn orr form

the minor issues--if they may so be
called-that the Democracy has forced
into the campaign. A mere statement
of them is enough to condemn the
patty that could conceive them. Free
coinage of silver is one OF the best
