statehood Busted.

There is no longer any room to doubt
the truth of the report that Speaker Reed
has made up his mind to slaughter New
Mexico and Arizona because they enter.
tain sentiments different from His on the
money ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Citizen.
And, after all, it was only wind! How
the Republican newspapers howled at Jo-
seph for not securing statehood; and how
they lied about the wonders Catron would
accomplish if only elected to congress.
Only few days ago, after the introduc-
tion of the statehood bill, they were
shouting that Catron had accomplished
more in a few weeks than Joseph had
been able to do in as many years, be-
cause, with the delusion of poor slaves,
they were unable to see defeat for their
master, and imagined all his bills would
pass. Because their masters will is law
to them, they could not conceive of a
greater power; but it is all there, the
same overbearlng, tyrannical will al
ways, and there will be no statehood for
the present. But what fall for the proud
boaster who was going to pueh that state
hood bill through in his spare moments,
when not occupied with his little bills for
forwarding his own personal interests.
Even the much despised Joseph could
pass his statehood bill in ths house, and
now why should the great political idol
of New Mexico Republicanism allow any
man beneath president to defeat his
purpose? Another thing that should be
attended to ia the disregard paid to the
editorial utterances Of the Citizen, which
only last week said something to the ef-
feet that no Republican aspirant for
presidential honors would dare to go
back on silver, and yet no one questions
the aspirations Of the czar of the Repub-
lican house. Now the following questions
arise: Will the Citizen 60 back on Reed
or on silver? Will the Republican candi-
date-if not Reed-have any more favor
able views on the silver question than
the czar? Will the Republican party op-
pose silver, and, if it does. will the Citi-
zen bolt the cause of the white metal?-

Democratic Call.
HEADQUARTERS DEMOCRATIC
Tnrriinrial Committee,


Santa Fe N. NJ, Jan. %, 1896.
Whereas, A written request has been
filed with us, signed by several members
of the committee, for a meeting of the
whole ommittece in the near future; and,
Whereas, There are several important
matters which the interests of the party
demand should have speedy and careful
consideration by the committee; and,
Whereas, The time is rapidly approach
ing when in the usual course of party
practice meeting OF the committee
would be necessary to authorize call for
a territorial convention, and to apportion
the county representation thereto, for the
election of six delegates to the national
Democratic convention, to be held at
Chicago on July Z, next;
Therefore, by virtue of the authority
in us vested by the rules and regulations
of the committee, meeting of the Demo
cratic territorial central committee of
New Mexico is hereby called to be held, at
it's headquarters in the city of Santa Fe
on Wednesday, the 5th day of February.

1t will be perceived from the foregoing
figures that Democratic silver candidates
would only need 81 votes from the doubt
ful column to insure their election; that
the votes of Illinois and those of any one
of the states we have classified as doubt
full, except Minnesota, would supply this
deficiency With votes to spare; that the
votes of Indiana and any other two of
the so-called doubtful states would furn-
ish the required 81 votes with handsome
surplus. And we honestly believe that 1t
is possible for the Democratic national
convention to act with such discretion
and wisdom as to make it certain of car
rying the votes of Illinois and Indiana,
Kentucky, Michigan and perhaps all the
other states we have placed in the doubt
full column. We are certainly persuaded
that all silver men would do we'll serious
ly to ponder these figures in the light OF
reason, common sense and experience.

PRESS COMMENT.
Follows Reeds Cue.

But there are other considerations
which are worthy of attention in discuss
ing so important a question. One of the
principal objections to an immediate
admission of the territories is that it
would increase by six votes the free coin
age contingent in the senate, to say moth
ing of the three full-hedged congressman
of the same stripe. This is serious re-
flection, and, in view of the present per
nicious activity and influence of the free
silver senators, it is sufficient to call for
great caution and deliberation in the de-
Termination of this proposition. 1t is a
we'll known fact that the free silver
strength would to-day be unimportant
but for the twelve added senatorial votes
by the recent admission of North and
South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho
and Utah. 1t behooves us to 60 slow in
this matter.-New York Mail and Express

FACTS FOR SILVER MEN.

The goldites of the eastern states are
manifesting good deal of quiet yet sig
nificant apprehension these days touch
ing the possible outcome of the presi-
Dental election next November. They
realize full we'll that an overwhelming
majority of the American people are
earnestly in favor of the restoration of
silver to it's rightfal place in the none
tary system of the country, regardless of
the action of other nations, and that, If
the friends of the white metal really get
together in support Of genuine silver
candidates on an nneq uivocal silver plat
form, they are destined to triumph in the
pending campaign.
Hence the strenuous efforts of the ad-
vocates of gold monometallism to prevent
aunion of the silver forces, and particularly
to avert an honest and outspoken recoRni-
tion of the free coinage idea by the Demo-
cratic party, are easily understood. They
know that, If the Democratic party should
adopt silver as its battle cry and nomi-
nate candidates in whom all silver men
could safely confide, Democracy and sill
yer would win, and that their only hope
of success lies in packing both the Re-
publican and the Democratic national con-
ventions in the interest of gold and there.
by forcing the radical silver men to nomi'
nate third ticket, in which event they
would feel reasonably certain of securing
Republican administration that would
be subservient TO their selfish purposes

The Albuquerque Citizen claims to
have information to the effect that Speak
er Reed never said he was opposed to the
admission of new states. This is "im-
portant-if true" We sincerely hope the
Citizen is correctly informed, but the
Citizen has been 80 often caught and cor

will require something more than its
declaration In this instance. Produce

THE NEW YORK REPUBLfCAN PLAT
FORM

The naked and unequivocal declara-
ton for sound money which the Republic
can convention OF the State Of New York
put out day or so back is the first dis
tinct and unclouded sign of returning rea-
son the country has had for a long time.
That declaration has set the pace,
and we look for others to follow in the
Republican conventions of the Eastern
States. until 1t becomes manifest that
10 man can hope TO be elected President
Ct the United States unless the people
believe that he is unalterably opposed
10 interfering with our standard of value
and TO cheap money. We look upon 1T
now as a foregone conclusion that the
National Republican Convention Will
either declare outright for the single gold
standard. or else will frame their iinan-
clal plank in such terms as Will SATISFY
the people that the Republican party has
no idea Of permitting the standard Of
value 10 be lowered, or of allowing any
dollars worth less than one hundred cents
10 be put out amongst the people.
As we have many times before asked
What Is the Democratic party going 10
do in the face Of this fact? 1t is now
under suspicion; the country is almost
persuaded that majority OF the party
IL really in favor of debaslng our money.
il will require the most positive and IN
mistakable utterances from it TO satisfy
the country that ii is. not for cheap
money. WIN the party make those ut
terances, and place in nomination man
who will satisfy the people that the ut
terances will be a living. vital principle
81 he is entrusted with the reins OF au-
thorlty? The blindest man ought 10
be able to see that the parry will have
no chance whatever to elect It's nominee
unless II satisfies the public upon this
point, and he should equally be able to
see that If the country is satisfied upon
this point the patcrnaiism OF protection
will handicap the Republican party. and
will give the Democratic party walk
over. VIII the party have the sagacity
TO see its opportunity?

Nose HANDY.

with Apologies to J. @. Whittier)
Nose Handy on cold March day,
At his writing was banging away
Beneath his old hat glowed the wealth
OF patulous whiskers and Chicago health
Singing. he wrote. and his brilliant work
He sent upstairs by the copy clerk.
But when he thought Of the work 10 do
1t made his soft blond whiskers blue.
The sweet song died, and vague unrest
And namless longing filled his breast
A wish. that he hardly dared to own,
For something better than he had known

OF Moses room on the nineteenth floor
He stopped a moment 10 see Nose write
The things that filed his soul with de-
light,
And TO ask draught from the spring
that flowed
From Moses pen with its brilliant load.
Nose stopped where the rich spring bub-
bled up.
And filled for Mckinley new tin cup.
And blushed as he gave II, looking down
At his large cold feet and his ink-stagned
gown.

He talked Of the prospects, and wondered
The cloud in the East would bring foul

And Nose forgot his ink-stained gown
And his large cold feet and his battered
crown,
And listened while pleased surprise
Glanced from his whiskers 10 his eyes.
At last. like one who for delay
Seeks a vain excuse, Mac went away
Nose Handy looked and sighed: by gosh.

Mckinley looked back when he reached

But Nose wasn't looking his way at all.
Then closing his lips, Mckinley went on,
And Nose was left at his desk alone.

Deeply buried from human eyes.
And in the hereafter Mckinley may
Do something for Nose and his whskers
