REPUBLICAN NEGOTIATIONS.

The republican party OF Bernalillo
county reatirms Its allegiance 10 the
principles OF that party AS enunciated at
the 50. Louis convention In 1895; the
practice OF those principles has encOur
aged all our industries and again placed
New Mexico upon the high road 10 pros
perity. 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 ~ do with its provisions or
Its passage Is too ridiculous for serious
consideration. The wool men Know
better, this 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. 0terO, and commend the action
OF the republican territorial convention
In nominating n OF u leading and
most progressive citizens for the position
OF delegate TO the next congress-. Hon
Pedro Perea IL In accord with both the
territorial and national administrations
and deserving the active support Of all
republicans OF this county.
We commend the legislative delegates
from this county for the active, faithful
and successful work done by them In the
last legislative assembly In the interests
Of reform and economy In the admins
tratiOn Of county affairs. And we believe
In more economy aud reform In this
direction, until the county eau not only
live within its income. but the bonded
Indebtedness Of the county may be wiped
out and paid OIL.
achieved such brilliant victories while
marching behind the star 5pangled ban
ner aud who have made the American II "
respected aud hOnOred in every quarterOf
the world. Particularly ara we proud Of
the brave sons OF New Mexico, who hayt
faced death at the point Of the bayOnet,
the rifle and the cannon, whose numbers
have been deeimated by the dread levers
G ntTacted on Cuban soil, and who have
proved that our terri DRY cannot only
furnish good citizens In time OF peace,
but also the best lighters In time OF WAT
OF any nation on the globe. and a. good
rs are to be- found within any OF the
states OF a W. country.
We rejoice Ia the gallant deeds OF dar-
ing OF our Rough Riders, aud pledge 10
them aud 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 dag Of the Union
being borne In triumph up San Juan hill
and raised over the city OF Santiago,
where to-day IL floats proudly over n
people whose freedom New Mexico YalOT
has contributed largely 10 achieve.
We denOunce the action OF Harvey b.
Ferguson, delegate 10 congress, In intro
ducing and working for the passage OF a
bill 70 locate the territorial capital in
another than his home city. Such action
on his part was traitOrOus 10 AlbuqueT-
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 80 drafting a bill TO
grant territorial lands for school puT-
poses, that II will require an unnecessary
expenditure OF fifteen or twenty thOu3-
and dollars 10 enable the schools OF this
territory 80 receive the lands which they
would be entitled 10 under said bill
We believe that II a 5000 congressman
can sQuRnder 1900 on q bill, we had
better either have no congressman or in
struct him to pass no bills.
