Talk With MIR. Manzanarez.

Talk With MIR. Manzanarez.
Hon. Frank A. Manzanares, of the
great wholesale house of the Browne Man
zanares company, of Las Vegas, who
ably represented New Mexico as dele
gate in the 48th congress and is now New
Mexico's representative on the Democratic
national committee, was recent visitor
in Santa Fe. Recognizing Mr.. Mama
mares, not only as one of the most hon.
orable, successful and influential business
men of the west, but as gentleman of
broad and enlightened views touching
political and economic questions, rep
resentative of the New MEXICAN sought
and WAS graciously accorded an interview
with him.
TOUCHING NATIONAL POLITICS.
Touching national politics Mr.. Man
zanares entertans no doubt that the re-
markable campaign of education now
rapidly drawing to close will result in a,
victory for the plain people as against
the plutocrats, that Mr.. Bryan will be
elected president of the United States
and that the American people will signally
and overwhelmingly approve the doctrine
of American bimetallism. As member
of the Democratic national committee he
was present at the memorable meeting of
the committee in Chicago when the plans
for the~campaign were outlined and ma
tured; says that Mr.. Bryan then i'm
pressed every member of the committee
with his wonderful mental and physical
vitality and inspired all with fresh hope
by his evident confidence in the successful
outcome of the election; that he frankly
offered to do anything in the campaign
that the committee thought best; and,
when the committee indicated it's wish
that the candidate should personally 60
before the people on the stump and ad-
dress as mary different meetings in as
many different parts of the country as
possible, he seemed we'll pleased and
pledged all his energies and powers to
the work.
"But," continued Mr.. Manzanares, 1--WE
did not dream that Mr.. Bryan was the in
tellectual and physical prodigy that he
has proved himself, that he would de.
PObo0ooAOA
and mental endurance and resources Of
veritable giant, and would actually be
abe to carry the major part of the cam
pagn of education on his own shoulders,
reaching almost every city and village in
the land with his musical and penetrating
voice and always speaking so wisely and
we'll as to gain hundreds and thousands of
converts to his cause every day. He is q
brave man, a man of marvellous resources,
thoroughly earnest man, and a patriot
of the noblest sort. He believes precisely
what he breaches and can be depended
upon as president to labor with untiring
and unselfsh zeal to promote the prin-
ciples he is now advocating with such
masterful ability and to give the country
an administration that will have for it's
motto the greatest good to the greatest
number"
AS TO CHAIRMAN JONES.
In response to a query as to Chairman
jones' conduct Of the campaign, Mr.. Man
zanares promptly said "The manage
ment of silver Dsmocracy's campaign
could hardly have been placed in better
hands than those Of Senator Jones, OF
Arkansas. served in congress with him
and am happy to say that know him
we'll and that he is my personal friend.
Heis thoroughly honest and conscientious,
possesses ability of high order, is ex-
ceptionally we'll versed in the science and
art OF politics, and best of all ls imbued
with the same earnest devotion to the
principle of American bimetallism and
the cause Of humanity that inspires and
renders virtually invincible our peerless
candidate. The selection of Senator
Jones for chairman was most fortunate,
as time will plentifully prove" (.
"What of our campaign in New Mex
ioof" asked the reporter.
Mr.. Manzanares did not hesitate. "Un-
der all the circumstanS 1885," said he, II am
fully persuaded that Mr.. Ferguson will
be elected as our next delegate to congress.
He is peculiarly we'll equipped for the
position, his views are in such perfect
harmony with those of MIR. Bryan on the
paramount coinage question that he has
been we'll dubbed the silver Knight of
New Mexico,' and the people know that
he can be depended upon to do every
thing in his power in congress to ad-
vance all the interests of this territory
regardless of personal or selfish consid-
erations. The election of Mr.. Bryan as
president and Mr.. Ferguson as our dele
gate will nquestionably result in state
hood at an early day"

ests have brought you in close contact
