CANDIDATES FOR coyERNoRsnIp.

The New MEXICAN elsewhere reproduces
an article from the columns of the Repub-
lican, published at Las Cruces, as to its
choice for appointment as governor of
New Mexico under the new administra-
tion. The list therein given is not COM
plete however. There should be added
the name of ex-Gov. L. Bradford Prince.
There can be no reasonable doubt but
that the ex- governor is in the field. He
is strongly recommended by Chauncey
M. Depew, Senators Platt and Hawley, @.
P. Huntington, the Republican member
of the New York state legislative assem-
bly, and has Endorsements from other in
fuential sources. He relies upon the
good record he has made as governor OF
New Mexico under the Harrison admins
tration. He is also obtaining some
strong territorial Endorsements.
There should also be added the name
of Hugh N. Price, an ex-member of con-
gress from Wisconsin and now a promi-
nent mining man of Socorro county.
The candidates therefore are Judge A. L.
Morrison and ex-Gov. l.. Bradford Prince
of Santa Fe, Hon. G.. H. Wallace, also of
Santa Fe, Hon. Pedro Peres of Bernalillo.
Capt. 7. w. Collier of Ration, Hon. F. G.

THE Mining and Scientific Press and
Pacific Electrical Review of San Fran
cisco, in its issue of February 20,
devotes the front page to an illus
trated account of the La Belle gold
fields. This journal has the largest
circulation of any mining review in the
United States, and the good that it has done
the mining interests of New Mexico dur
ing the past three or four years, is simply
incalculable. It is seldom that an issue
of this widely read paper appears, with
out an extended account of some of our
mines. As matter of reciprocity, this
journal deserves the support of the min
ing interests of the whole territory. 1t
follows closely the very latest inventions
in mining machinery, contains reliable
mining news from all parts of the world,
and is simply indispensable alike to the
working miner, and the mining investor.

TERRITORIAL COMMENT.
Leading Questions as Treated by the
Territorial Papers.
A. n. Morrison Its Choice.

As the time approaches for change in
realize the difference it will also make in
our territorial affairs. The most i'm
portant office in the territory is that of
governor, and, of course, we need and
want the best that can be had in the way
of an able official. The Republican has
watched with interest the names of the
various candidates, discovering good ma
terial in all.
Capt. r. w. Collier, editor of the Ration
Range, is man of high standing at
home and abroad, has some eastern in
auence at work in his behalf, is favora-
bly, known in the territory, and will I'M
doubtedly receive some support from old
soldier friends.
Hon. Pedro Perea is the accepted
leader of Bernalillo county Republican
politicians and will receive the support
of that county, and his name has been
fairly we'll received in various parts OF
the territory.
q. II. Wallace, who has allowed his can
didacy to be promoted by San Miguel
county friends, is said to be worthy
man, but being comparatively new
conner to New Mexico, is little known
over the territory.
f. G. Foster of Pennington, is receiv-
ing some support at home as well as from
eastern friends of himself and his wife, j.
Ellen Foster, who is a good politician
and is said to be bringing her influence
to bear on behalf of her husband.
j. ID. Pray, OF Iowa, who is chairman OF
the Republican financial committee of
that state, is an owner of property in the
Pecos valley, and on the strength of this
some of his friends are pushing his name
for governor. Mr.. Pray himself, how
ever, is quoted as saying he doesn't de-
sire it, and thinks the Office should be
given to New Mexico man.
There is yet another name on our list,
to be considered. Without desiring to
detract from the merits of any one of the
other candidates, truth compels US to say
we consider Hon. A. L. Morrison, of Santa
| Fe, the peer of them all. His name has
for many years been associated with New
| Mexico's best interests, and he we'll de
serves the aprellation of "Republicar
war horse" An able as we'll as gooi
man, of cultivated intellect, he has proven
himself of answering integrity, In al
things honorable. He has held positions
of honor worthily, demonstrating that hs
considered "public office public trust.
His record is clean one, and one Of
which any man might be proud. Mr.
Morrison is not only receiving the largest
Republican support of any of the candi
dates but fairminded Democratic friends
who are interested in good government
heartily indorse him. In addition to hit
strong home support, Mr.. Morrison has
many strong and influential friends al
over the country who will be glad to see
him receive the appointment.
The Republican heartily admires Hon.
A. l.. Morrison and hopes to see him the
next governor of New exico.-Rie
Grande Republican.

NOTHING is to be gained by misrepre-
sentipg the situation as to the respite OF
the four men condemned for the murder
of Frank Chavez. The NEW MEXICAN is
treating the case with fairness and mode
ration. The city of Santa Fe and its
citizens have suffered enough and more
than enough by false reports by news
paper correspondents and others. The
truth, in all reality, will do we'll enough,
and the truth the NEW MEXICAN proposes
to tell, and does tell. There exists reason
able ground for the belief that large
majority of the good people of this city
and county would regard executive elem
ency with much satisfaction.

AN rFFETs ADMINISTRATION.

THERE has been q time in the history
of the U. s. government, when an
open and flagrant Insult to its flag and
honor, called for an apology at the point
of tho bayonet or at the black mouth of
shotted cannon. That time, however,
seems to have passed, and we have fallen
upon the days of an effete and cowardly
peace, which must be maintained even at
the cost of national pride and honor.
Not once, but half do1e4. lanes during
the progress of the Cuban revolt, Amer
;aan ships flying the American flag, have
been overhauled for spies, and other per-
sons charged with political otfenses, and
despite the protests Of the COMMANDER
in several cases persons 30 charged have
been arrested and removed from the pro-
lection of flag which has ceased to pro-
tect, even its own subjects, Only q
few days since, the American passenger
steamer Olivette, was boarded in the port
Of Havana by Cuban officials who forcibly
seized, stripped and searched three Cuban
ladies who were supposed to have about
them information Of value to the Spanish
soldery. The Spanish officials in this
case, were not even called to account for
their brutal conduct by our government,
and the affair was passed unnoticed, ex-
cept as the subjec for brief press dis
patch. The right of persons charged or
suspected of a political offense to pro-
lection from interference while on board
an American ship, was clearly defined by
Mr.. Blaine while he was secretary Of
state.
His decision on this subject was occa-
stoned by the murder of Gen. Barrundia
on board an American ship by Guate-
malan soldiers. The American minister
who had submitted to this insult without
protest, was Immediately recalled, and
Guatemala was glad to render a prompt
and abject apology. Mr.. Blaine at this
tlme ueclhTou tnht Poiuiooi ohohooio
we're not to be molested while under the
American flag. How long would Eng
land tolerate the insults that have been
heaped upon our citizens and subjects
since the opening of the Cuban revolt.
In foreign ports, we have heard Ameri-
can citizens bemoan the fact of their
citizenship, and wished themselves SUBJ
jects of the British government, for the
superior protection afforded by the Eng
lish flag The foreign power, great or
small, that i'll treats subject OF the
British government, has fight on it's
hands, or else gets down on its knees
with an apology and purse containing
damages. Thus ia national honor upheld
and other people made to mind their own
business.

i'll reply the Spanish government wss
asked TO see that Consul General Lee was
granted his full rights as an American
representative. This is not the first
time during the revolution now in prog
ress, that the Spanish government has
been requested to see to the same thing
in reference TO other Americans, who are
generally supposed to enjoy the rights
of non combatants. Spain pays no at.
tontion to this sort Of thing. Not salts
lied with throwing our subjects into
prison, with political offenses charged
against them, in some cases, she has raised
the red hand of murder, striking them
down without warning, while suffering
the horrors of confinement.

the RUIZ CASE.

The murder of DR.. Ruiz, an American
dentist, imprisoned by Spanish officials
on trumped up charge, is the latest out
rage reported from Cuba. Spanish Of
ficers claimed that Dr.. Ruiz came to his
end by suicide, but when Consul General
Lee requested that an examination Of the
body be made. for the purpose Of de-.
termining the manner of death, his re-
quest was haughtily refused, nor could
subseq uent argument on the part of the
American representative change this de-
cision. Lee promptly wired the Wash.

that the work would be "big printing
