Santa ". hafxh L. TIE latter part OF
hast week hIll was introduced In the
tpuneIl providing iof the removal " the
territorial capiiul frcm this place 70
Albuquerque. Il touk munt Of the ftsi
dents Of this place BY surprise and many
we're unwilling 10 tsllevs that nnyshina
SERIOUS vas meant. This feeling was
soou changed, however, and the leading |
citizens bsran 20 str themselves 4
Was aaceFiuIned that there was q clear
majority n both houses Ia favor Of re-
movnl and this fnts was enough 20
arouse the ancient city thoroughly. All
day Sunday and Monday groups " men

Ne places and IN places oi buuinesa die
tusslna the situation. There were 9th
o. groups of men who could not be
seen, but who we're earnestly engaged
hi devlslng schemes 70 defeat the rsmoy
II bill.
Az ls well known the ierrlierini coun-
eli stands 0 democrats aud republicans.
The democrats we're anxious 70 have the
appointments made BY the governor
confirmed, but they were not strong
enough 10 carry the cOnnFmnilona Re-
publlcan help wac necessary, and this
was just what the republicans dId not
want 10 give. They wanted to prevent
ihe confirmation Of the democratic APP
poInteen until tcpnbIlcan governor
should 30 appointed. To thIs end they
wers playing politics. Some Of the
republican members Of the council we're
more deeply interested In keeping the
capital At Santa Fe than IN preventing
the confirmation Of the governors np-
polnieea and II was net a dlmcull matter
10 arrange fcr the confirmation Of all tho
appointments sent In by The governor.
This, OF course, waa a bitter doee for
many Of tbs republican politicians who
we're congfatulaslng themselves tlatthey
would be able 70 prevent the conhsmar
iIon OF any appointments at thia session
Of the legislature which might 10 mado
