To the Republicans Of Nss MsIicoi
This committee cOngrstuistes you upon
the gallant work done at the polls o.
Tuesday. the sth, and upon the glOriou,
results which have followed. They are
more fs~r-reaching than at hrst glsne,
appears. BY your votes you have shown
that New Mexico believes In and endorses
the cardinal principles Of the republican
party, protection to products and indus
try and AN honest dollar with q chance
10 earn It," You have not only elected q
republican delegate who thoroughly be-
lieyes 10 these principles, but you have
elected q Legislature which is almost
unanimously republican. For the first
time In twenty years the territorial
legislature is In political accord with IN,
administrations at Washington q
Santa re. With this grand showing we
can demand admission as q state with
renewed confidence and assurance that
our prayers will be f~avOrably heard. The
democratic and populist parties, the
u~niOnists and f%usionists are practically
dead. We are now together In the grand
republican party. Let US stay together

and gain additional victories we must
stand firmly united. not only against the
common enemy, bat even more NO against
insidious foes within. those who scratch
one name on the republican ticket and
vote and work for his opponent; those
who for personal reasons" vote and WORK
against our nominee. and those political
pharisees who claim TO be republicans.

worse and more dangerous than the open
democrats. Let us from this day until
the close OF the polls at the election Of
1900 strive not only to sustain our pre-,
ent glorious record, but to improve IL
and weed out from the PARTY all those
who do not heartily. honestly and faith
fully support its principles and Its nom

great end we must organize now for the
campaign Of 1900. W" have organization
