The republican party OF BernAlillo
county reatilrms its alles lanes 10 the
principles Of that party as% enunciated at
the st. Louis convention In 1895; the
practice OF those principles has encDur
aged all our industries aud again placed
New Mexico upon the high road 10 pros
pefity. The enactment OF the Dingiey
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 TO do with Its provisions OF
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 our leading and
most progressive citizens for the position
OF delegate 10 the next congress. Hon,
Pedro Perea Is 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 and reform In this
direction, until the county can not only
live within its income, but the bonded
Indebtedness Of the county may be wiped
out and paid of.
achieved such brilliant victories while
marching behind the Star Spangled ban
ner and who have made the American flag
respected and hOnOred in every quarterOf
the world. Particularly are we proud OF
the brave sOns OF New Mexico, who have
faced death at the point Of the %bayOnet,
the rifle and the cannon, whose numbers
have been decimated by the dread fByers
G. ntracted on Cuban soil, and who have
proved that our territory cannot only
furnish good citizens In time OF peace,
but also the best fighters In time OF war
OF any nation on the globe, and "a good
a. are 10 be found within any OF the
states OF our " country.
We rejoice In the gallant deeds OF daT-
Ing Of our Rough Riders, and pledge TO
them and their families the undying
gratitude OF the people Of this territory,
whose spirits have been exalted and
whose patriotism has been strengthened
by the spectacle OF the flag OF the Union
being borne In triumph mp San Juan hill
and raised over the city OF Santiago,
where to-day IL floats proudly over a
people whose freedom New Mexico YalOr
has contributed largely 10 achieve.
We denOunce the action Of Harvey B.
Ferguson, delegate TO 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 TO Albuquer-
que, her people and her interests, and
should be remembered by all the people
OF this county upon election day.
We denOunce the c~aTelessness OF Dele
gate Ferguson In 30 drafting a bill 20
grant territorial lands for school puT-
poses, that II will require an unnecessary
expenditure OF fifteen or twenty thOu4-
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 squAnder tl5,0 900 on n bill, we had
better either have no congressman or In
stTuet him 10 pass no bills.
