swish 70 dictate the policy u the whole
county Of which We are but very small
part;v that the late bills we're neither In
equity nor fairness, end were wholly ln
the ln.crest Of Dcmlng. The Luna
county bin waa entirely In the interest
Of Silver CITY. Il gave them the largest
population, The most valuable agricul-
turEl, mining and stock raising portion
OF the county, one hnif Of the railroads,
all Of the public buildings mud county
property Bnd assumed our proportion of
tho Indebtedness, the most Of tho lalter,
which has been Incurred for the benefit
OF Silver City. To anybody but a rosi-
dent OF Silver City II would seem that
this offer only Indicated "lnsanIiy" on
our part and ahons that an "equliable
adjustment" was not what they wanted.
Eow these 'desIrabio citizens" care but
little about the contempt" Of which the
Independent thinks them deserving and
locate the "ccninnptp upon tie few
cItlxens Of Silver city, who arc deserving
of II. That they "entorlEln q kindly
feeling toward DemIng and would do.
Hight In her prosperity, n attained
through honorable menns," We take Tor
what our experiences sh0we II 70 be
worth. Ito then airs tho old "cheetnut'
that II would be insanliy 20 divide the
county with no proeent Indebtedness
The wrIter knew full well that the
county Indebtedness Is steadily lncreas.
