Santa Fe daily New Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1885-1897, 1897-03-01
LEGISLATIVE GOSSIP.
Bill introduced in the House to Move
the apitaI-Interesting Items.

Hon. Venceslado Jaramillo is loyal to
the core.
The house session this afternoon was
short. Evidently preparing for the fray
tomorrow.
Hon. Manuel A. Sanchez and Hon.
Marcelino MARTINEZ made pleasure trip
to Espanola Saturday, returning on Sat-
urday night.
OF course Councilmen Hughes and
Finical would like the capital removal
bill to pass. Why should they not? Ah
there, are you thereS
Now our fellow citizens must be up
and doing in that capital removal ques-
tion; Messrs. Spiess, Sena and Read must
be strongly supported in their fight for
Santa Fe.
Representatives Sena and Read, rep
resenting SAINTS. Fe county, can do little
trading for votes on their own account
on certain measure. Enough SAID.
How about house bill No. So, the bill
concerning coal oil com panies. 1t should
be brought up from the recesses of the
committee room and be made to see the
light of day.
The Republicans of Santa Fe are stand
ing pat by Councilman Spiess and his
stand in the capital removal question.
He will carry out the program if neces-
sary.
If Councilman Finical votes for the
capital removal he will remember the dire
and fearful prediction made for the next
two years. He is genuine good fellow
though and may be forgiven yet.
Councilman Spiess does not propose
to be caught mapping on this capital re-
| moval question. Just stick to that plan
of yours concerning combinations and
you will come on top, Mr.. Spiess.
The com pilation bill was laid over till the
tomorrow morning session. 1t is now in
the hands of special committee consist
ing of Messrs. Malaquias Martinez, Mar
celino Martinez and o. E. Smith.
Councilman Tom Hughes wants the
capital removal bill passed because it
will help Albuquerque and help him.
The councilman is really jolly fellow
and only wants the earth and that fenced
IN.
Hon.. j. E. Saint, ex-mayor of Albu-
querque and ex-member of the council,
came up from Albuquerque last night.
The gentleman is here to look after the
capital removal question and persons in
terested will do we'll to call on him at the
Palace.
The memorial asking for the re.estab-
lishment of Fort Stanton was introduced
in the house by Speaker Llewellyn and
passed that body owing to the speakers
exertions aud work, in a jiffy. The peo-
staunch friend in Major Llewellyn and
requires.
1t is said that trade is on for the re-
moval of the University to Las Vegas for
votes for the removal Of the capital to
Albuquerque. If the San Miguel rep
resentatives and couucilmen should vote
for tine removal without getting some-
thing in return, that would certainly not
be good policy. Why give it all to Albu-
querques just because the Bernalillo
members of the council 30 desire. Too
much of a good thing, that.
As will be seen in our Santa Fe letter
bill was introduced in the house Tuesday
by Mr., W. H. Fl. Lewellyn entitled San act
requiring officers to administer oaths and
acknowledge pension papers without
pensation." The purpose of the act
is to reduce the expenses of old soldiers
desiring to apply for pensions. The bill
is a meritorious one and should pass
both houses without dissenting voice.
The veterans of the war are fast dwindlipg
away, and their few remaining days
should be made as free from care as it is |
possible to do.--Dona Ana Republican.
ANOTHER BILL TO REMOVE THE CAPITAL.
Representative Gus Mulholland this
morning introduced bill in the house
