The republicans OF BernalillO county
In convention assembled. do hereby re-
affirm our belief IN aud adherence 10 the
statement OF the principles Of the repub
licaG party as adopted at the national
convention held at st. Louis In June,
1886. Time has tested the strength and
proved the truth OF the doctrines therein
enuncisted. while the country at large
has under the Influence OF their enforce
ment grown in riches aud happiness.
We endorse the able and patriotic ad-
Diinlstration OF national affairs by
William Mckinley, our president, whose
wise conduct Of public affairs hae won
for him the plaudits OF all the people,
democrats and republicans alike; we
likewise commend the administration OF
Governor Miguel A. 0torO In cur own
territory, as being wise, conservative and
patriotic, and calculated 10 conserve the
best interests OF all the people OF New
Mexico.
In behalf of ourselves and OF the re-
publican party OF New Mexico. we thank
the brave sailors and soldiers OF the great
army and navy Of the republic, who have
achieved such brilliant victories while
maThing behind the Star Spangled banner
and who have made the American flag re-
spected and hOnOred In every quarter OF
the world. Particularly are we proud OF
the braye Sous Of New Mexico, who have
faced death at the point Of the bayOnet,
| the rifle and the cannon, whose numbers
hays been decimRted by the dread feyers
contracted ON Cuban soil, and who have
/ proved that our territory cannot only
| furnish good citizens In time OF peace,
but also the best lighters In time OF war
| NJ any nation on the globe, and as good
states Of our own country.
We rejoice In the gallant deeds OF dar.
ing Of our Rough Riders, and pledge 10
them and their families the undying
gratitude OF the people Of tLis territory,
whose spirits have been exalted aud
whose patriotism has hsen strengthened
by the spectacle OF the Il x OF the Union
bsing borne Ia triumph up Sau Juan hill
aud raised over TIE city OF Santiago,
where to-day IL dOats proudly over n
people whose freedom New Mexico yalOr
mas contributed largely 10 achieve.
We believe la the doctrine OF terri.
tOrial expansion, and think the national
welfare will be advanced by the reten-
| ton by this government OF Porto kicJ
aud other West India Islands coming
under Our c0ntrOl, and as large a pOr-
| tiOn of the Philippines "a the commits
sion appointed by President Mckinley
shall determine we Are justly and equit.
ably entitled %.
We denOunce the action OF Harvey B.
FERGUSON, delegate TO congress. IN in-
Producing and working Tor the passage
of bill to locate the territorial capitol
in another than his home city. Such
action upon his part Was traitOrOus q
Albuquerque, her people and her inter
rsts, and should be remembered by all
the people Of this county upon election
day,
We denOunce the carelessness OF Dele
gate FeTgussOn In 80 drafting a bill "a
grant territorial lands for school pur.
poses, that Il will require an unnecessary
expenditure Of fifteen or twenty thousand
dollars 20 enable the schools OF this ter
rit0ry to receive the lands which they
would be entitled 20 under said bill. We
believe that II a 5000 congressman
can sQuandeT $4,000 on one bill, We had
better either have no congressman or In.
stTuct him 10 pass no bills.
We favor the principle OF protection tC
home industries, the retention OF higt
protective duty on wool and all Othel
productions OF New Mexico, and believe
that through the success OF the repub
lican party OF BeTnalillO county the ter
ritOry of New Mexico and the UniteC
States OF America, the interest OF thu
whole people OF this country will be bes
served and their welfare most certainl!
secured.
