versally esteemed delegate!
1--WE desire u distinctly understood
that we are a staunch friend " New
Mexico Many ot our most pleasant
rec0llections of western life carry Us
back 20 that sunny cline. For eight
years we mingled with the Spanish.
Americans " that territory and they
are people whom we esteem and be-
tween US thvre grew mp warm
friendly feeling. We respect them
and at the same time we believe that
we merit their respect We have at
heart the best interests Of the peop q
and Il IL for the best interests of New
Mexico that we pen these few llues
The effort to retire Mr. FERGUSON eau
az hest be hut feeb q, and even before
any such effort is made the republi
cans Of the territory would do as well
10 lay aside tor "A moment all party
prejudice and give the candidacy OF
each political standard boarer calm
and serious consideration, after which
we believe that the honest verdict VII
be for the retention of Mr FERGUSON
as New Alexico's representative IN the
halls of the national congress, beliey
ing that II would at this time better
promote the interests Of the people
OF the territory regardless Of politics.
Inusmuch as Mr. Fergussuns election
is absolutely certain, IL would ue bet
for New Mexico 20 make his majority
as large as possible.
"The times are now distressingly
severe and hard and they Will never
get any better until successful legis
lation is had on the money question
putting silver back % is rlgtful place
as money The gold standard policy
of the Mckinley adm nistration, has
brough starvation, dlscontentment
and desoation 20 our once happy
country, aud such policy has worked
untold hardspips not on,y on the peo
pie OF New Mexico, but In every part
of the United States, and the hyhra-
headed gold bug monster has been
a great dptriment 10 old Mexico The
gold bug munster has but sholt life

unhonored and unsung, aud the veil
Of oblivion must hide Us sponcers and
propagators from the scorn and con.
tempt which they justly merit. These
gold bugs at the pinnacle OF fortune
have planted nothing but misery IN
the land, aud u the poor people would
save themselves from the awful fate
Of menials and scuhions they mus
cast their votes for candidates known

has always gone With the constitution
and where that has led the way II has
followed, and no farther II is a par y
Of principles, whose teachings We have
been all our life, accustomed 20 give
ear, and no man can make mistake
by espouslnR the cause OF the great
democratic party, which stands today
for the coinage OF both gold and silver
az the ratio OF 10 90 1.
"Ilon. II IS. FERGUSON the demo
cratic delegate 20 congress for New
Mexico stands squarely on the plat.
form upon which William j. Bryan
stood when he made such splendid
race Tor president In 1895. Mr. Fer
gusson Is credit 10 any country In
which he lives. he has labored with
zeal aud warmth Tor all New Mexico
and Tor an Endorsement by all the peo.
pie In the territory, be has preemnent
claims and qualifications. lie Is man
of splendid talens, brilliant orator
and man learned In the law. lie is an
able and ndriatigdble worker for the
interests, honor and x ory OF New
Mexico The next congress will be
democratic and for silver, aud New
Mexico will want Mr. FERGUSON In
that congress
