aged all our industries and again placed
New Mexico upon the high road 70 pros
pehty. The enactment OF the Dingley
law has enhanced the value OF the
property OF this territory by millions OF
dollars. and the idea that either Delegate
II. b. Ferguson or any other democrat
had anything to do with its provisions or
its passage is too ridiculous for serious
consideration. The wool men know
better, tbs cattle men know better, we
all know better.
We heartily endorse the national ad
ministration Of President Mckinley, the
territorial administration OF Governor
Miguel A. Otero, and commend the action
Of the republican territorial convention

We commend the legislative delegates
from this county for the active, faithful

In more economy and reform In this
direction, until the county a not only
live within Its income. but the bonded
indebtedness OF the county may be wiped
out and paid off.
Believing that q new county should be
created out OF the western part OF Berna-
lilo and Valencia counties, we pledge
the Legislative nominees Of this cOnven-
ton 10 use their best e%ndeAyOrs In socur-
ing the passage OF a bill creating the
county OF Summit, and giving 10 said
county Of Summit all the lands OF BeTnR-
lilo county lying west OF midway be-
tween the 10th and l0Sth degrees OF
longitude.
We favor and pledge ourselves TO the
construction OF a bridge across the Rio
Grande at a point tributary 70 the town OF
Bland and at such point as may be
most advantageous to the persons travel
ing between the towns OF Albuquerque
aud Bland; and we favor the laying out
and improvement OF the public roads In

thickly settled portions OF u country.
We congratulate the officials OF this
county upon the economical adminiBtra-
ton OF public affairs during the past two
years, by which they have saved TO the
county from ten 10 fifteen thousand dol
lars annually. We congratulate the
Judicial officers upon the faithful even
handed administration OF Justice with
which We have been favored, and which
has tended 10 protect the rights Of the
poor man aud conserve the Interests OF
all.
In behalf Of ourselves and OF the re-
publican party Of New Mexico, we thank
the brave sailors aud soldiers VI the great
ainly and navy OF the republic, who have
achieved such brilliant victories while
marching behind the star Spangled ban.
ner and who have made the American dag
respected and hOnoTed In every quarteTOf
the world. Particularly are we proud OF
the brave SOM OF New Mexico, who have
faced death at the point OF the bayOnet,
the rifle and the cannon, whose numbers
have been decimated by the dread feyers
G ntracted on Cuban soil. and who have
proved that our territory cannot only
furnish good citizens In time OF peace,
but also the best aghtere In time OF war
Of any nation on the globe. and as good
az are 70 be found within any Of the
states Of our own country.
We rejoice In the gallant deeds OF dar-
ing OF our Rough Riders, and pledge TO
them and their families the undying
gratitude Of the people OF this territory,
whose spirits have been exalted aud
whose patriotism has been strengthened
by the spectacle OF the flag Of the Union
being borne In triumph up San Juan hill
and raised over the city OF Santiago,
where to-day II hlats proudly over b
people whose freedom New Mexico yalOr
has contributed largely 10 achieve.
We denOnnce the action Of Harvey b.
Ferguson, delegate b. congress, In intro.
dueing and working for the passage OF a
bill 20 locate the territorial capital In
another than his home city. Such action
on his part WAS tTaitOrOns tO AlbuQuer-
que, her people and her interests, and
should be remembered by all the people
OF this county upon election day.
We denOunee the cArelessness OF Dele
gate FERGUSON In 90 drafting a bill 20
grant territorial lands for school pur-
poses, that 1t will require an unnecessary
expenditure OF fifteen or twenty thOus-
and dollars 30 enable the schools Of this
territory 80 receive the lands which they
would be entitled 20 under said bill
We believe that n "a 5000 congressman
can squRnder $4,000 on n bill, we had
better either have no congressman or In
struet him 10 pass no bills.
