A Word TO San Miguel County Republicans.

In compiling the vote of the territory
for the year 1896, a few days ago, q sin
gular discovery was made. 1t is shown
by the records that the county commits
sioners of San Miguel county failed to
return the vote Of the county by pre-
cincts to the secretary of the territory
for that year as the law requires. The
only report made is the total vote of
the county for delegate to congress.
That vote shows thai Mr.. Ferguson
beat Mr.. Catron just two votes out of a
total of over 1900 votes cast. 1t will be
remembered that it was charged at the
time that the Union party board Of
county commissioners and the Union
party county officials and politicians in
that county committed extensive frauds
in that election, and this fact, that they
| were afraid to return the vote in detail
to the secretary, Is strong proof in that
| direction. OF course, they could not be
punished, because there were Demo-
cratic officials and a Democratic judge
in office, all either wilfully Ignorant or
the election frauds committed in San
Miguel county, or indeed aiding and
abetting. There is no doubt in the
minds of we'll informed persons that the
Republicans carried San Miguel county
at the last election by over 400 majority
and that they were boldly and shame
lessly swindled out of the majority by
the Union party gang in W In h a
county and by territorial officials. 1t
| therefore behooves the Republicans OF
that county to keep a sharp and con
slant lookout for the gang and it's do
ings. The boasts made by present
county officials of that county and theil
hangers-on and strikers, that they vii
be successful in the coming election,
that they cannot be punished, that
there is no jury in San Miguel county
that will convict them, that they have
the election machinery grabbed, and
the like, show we'll that they will again
attempt to commit election frauds. Gun
Republican friends in San Miguel coun-
ty are warned in time. Let them take
steps accordingly. There is no corrupt
Democratic judge on the bench now
and there are honest and fearless terri.
torial officials in office, and the law viii
be enforced if the authorities and the
judiciary are called upon. regardless OF
where the chips may fly.

missioners Of the county Of San Miguel
on the bonds Of those officials, for not

see to it that county commissioners and
county officials enforced the laws more
strictly and obeyed them more in the
spirit and in the letter than Is the case

would be less dishonesty and less cor
ruption In the administration of finan-
