Santa Fe, N. NJ, Sept. 3, 1S96.-Where.
as, at a meeting of the Democratic terri
torial central committee, held in Las We
gas, on June Is, 1896, the city of Santa Fe
was selected as the place for the meeting
of Democratic territorial convention
for the nomination of Democratic can
di9ate for delegate from New Mexico to
the 55th congress of the United States;
and
Whereas, The date of the holding of
said convention was left to be fixed by the
chairman and secretary of this committee
at such convenient time as would IN their
Judgment best serve the interests of the
party; and
Whereas, Said proposed convention was
authorized to be constituted, as to repre-
sentation from the various counties of the
territory, on the basis of one delegate for
each 100 votes east for Antonio Joseph in
each of said counties at the last general
election and one additional delegate for
each fraction of 100 votes 80 cast amount
ing to fifty or more,
Now, therefore, by virtue of the author
ity in us SO vested, convention of the
Democratic party of New Mexico is here
by proclaimed to be held in the city of
Santa Fe, at the hour Of l o'clock p. M,
on the Goth day of September, A. D. 1896,
for the purpose of nominating Demo-
cratic candidate for delegate from New
Mexico to the 18th congress of the United
States and for the transaction of such

That Omen Letter.

The open letter of Gov. Thornton to T
B. Catron, which appeared in yesterdays
New MEXICAN, lie published elsewhere in
this paper. II is called forth by the re.
peated attacks on the governors official
and private character and while the letter
is strong in denunclation of Catron and
his methods it does seem that the coca.
sion demands it. It is a pity that honest
men must be attacked 10 such vile
manner as has Gov. Thornton and more
pity that newspapers can be found which
will publish, without the shadow of proof

Total delegates. ...,

The county central committees of the
various counties are requested to call
county conventions for the election of the
designated number of delegates, accord
ing to the rules and regulations govern
ing party practice, in the respective coun-
ties, and it is suggested that such conven-
tions and preliminary primaries be held
at such times as are convenient to the
party in the respective counties.
In those counties in which party inter-
ests have advised the holding of county
conventions prior to this call the dele
gates there selected to represent such
county in the proclaimed convention will
undoubtedly be held to have been duly
elected, according to the purpose of this
call.
In carrying out the instructions of the
committee, at its said meeting, all Dem
ocrats, and all those who intend to act with
the mocratic party on the leading
principles enunciated in its Chicago
platform, and especially on the great
declaration in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver, are hereby in
vited to participate in the primaries, in
the respective counties, and in the pro.
posed territorial convention, il so it be
that they are chosen as representatives
at county conventions.
In view of the great issues involved in
the national campaign, now on, and of
the high and advanced ground taken by
the Democratic party in favor of the
restoration of the money of the common
people to its constitutional place in the
financial policy of the nation; and, in
view, further, of the utter failure of the
Republican party to give the terri
tory an influential and useful delegate
in congress from New Mexico, IL is
tho hope of this committee that the
convention hereby called may be fully
attended and memorable gathering Of
representative Democrats from every
county in the territory. To this end all
citizens of this territory, within the pur-
view of this call, are urged to take an
active interest in the preliminary steps
TO constitute said convention and in the
important work Of the same.

BIRDS of a feather are focking to-
gether this year as usual. An exchange
observes: "Tom Carter does not believe
in free trade, though he does believe in
free silver, and hence he intends to vote
for Mckinley. The gold standard Demo-
Gratis do believe in free trade and don't
believe in free silver. Each would seem
to have been taking lessons in the same
school of logic"

A GREAT many kindly things are being
said by the free coinage Republicans
about ex Gov. Prince and not few of
them would like, evidently, to follow the
lead of the Las Cruces Republican and
support him for the nomination for dele
gate to congress, but none Of them dare
to. Boss Catron and Bose Perea have
got the whole outfit "cowed" to that ex-
tent that they dare not do otherwise than
follow in the same old time political rut

A Compliment.

Editorially as we'll as locally, the men
are decidedly optimistic. That is good
thing. The world has ten croakers where
it has one person possessing good ma

one who has the most healthful illusions. >
