The republicans of the city OF Albu-

firm our allegiance TO the principles Of
the republican party ~ enuncihted IN
the platform at the 81. Louis convention,
and congratulate the country on the sue

ADMINISTRATION OF President Mckinley. VI
congratulate the people OF this territory
on the appointment Of Miguel A. 0terC
AS governor OF New Mexico, and upon
the other lieutenants selected by the pres.
ldent 10 assist In the administration Of
affairs In this territory.
The country Is rapidly recovering from
the ~blighting effects OF democratic mis-
government. This territory has again
become prosperous and progressive, a
the result Of the national policy OF the
republican party. Albuquerque has agaiI
assumed an air OF progress, aud begun u
improve; and TO permit the metropolis o.
New Mexico TO again be placed under thu
unhallOwed Influences of the democratl,
party, would DO a calamity 10 be deplOre,
Oy the people Of this city and OF this ter
ritOry.
The past four years OF republican rul,
In this city have been prOm0ttye OF tn
best interests OF all our people. Undel
them the republicans have continual.
and continuously reduced the public OK
pendituTes. From the effects OF the pre-
, yiOus years OF democratic misrule AN
acknowledgement, we have 30 far emergel
=, that now the expenses OF the city AT
kept within It's income, and soon we viii
: DO able 10 begin 20 pay the large burdel
: OF debt with which the democrats hAy
: loaded the city In the past.
We point with pride 10 the fact tina
; under the contrOfof the republican part
! the restraints OF the Bateman act. passe
by the last legislature, have been un
! necessary, because, while that law merel
\ prohibits the city from allowing its "a
penditures 10 exceed its income. the out
|. going administration has kept expendi
: lures 30 far below the income that II vii
J leave on hand IN the city treasury nc
y less than $4,000.
. We believe that Cuba should be free
o from Spanish control; that the expense
OF the city should be kept within Oh
limits OF our income; In all things tha
will tend 10 promote and build up gu
city; In the erection OF a sugar beet fa'
a tory at Albuquerque; In continuing III
republican party in power In this cit.
In this territory and throughout the 81
tire country. And to this end we plede
our nominees 10 the continuance Of ii
present economic policy OF the repuI
!. lican party, aud 80 the maintenance
, law and order within u city.
