THE RIGHT SOUND
The Republican Territorial Central
Committee to the Republicans
of New Mexico.
Congratulations on the Result of the Cam.
paign and the Stand for the
Future.

Santa Fe, Nov. II, 1S9S.-To the Re.
publicans of New Mexico: This com
mittee congratulates you upon the gal
liant work done at the polls on Tuesday,
the Sth, and upon the glorious results
which have followed. They are more
far reaching than at first glance appears.
BY Your votes, you have shown that New
Mexico believes in and indorses the car
dinal principles of the Republican party,
protection to American products and
industry and can honest dollar with
a chance to earn it. You have not
only elected a Republican delegate who
thoroughly believes in these principles,
but you have elected a legislature which
is almost unanimously Republican.
Forthe frsttimei in 20years the territor-
ial legislature is in political accord with
the administrations at Washington and
Santa Fe. With this grand showing, we
can demand admission as 4 state with
renewed confidence and assurance that
our PRAYERS will be favorably heard.
The Democratic and Populist parties,
the unionists and Fusionists, are prac-
tically dead. We are now together in
the grand Republican party. Let US
stay together. If we do, we will carry
the territory II 1900 by 10000 majority.
! TO do this, however, we must be honest
and earnest workers; thetime has passed
| when traitorous Republicans should be
recognized. We have done well in spite
of them at this election. If we are to
reap the fruits of our labor and gain
additional victories we must stand firmly
united, not only against the common
enemy, but even more so against in
siduouS foes from within, those who
scratch, one name on the Republican
ticket and vote and work for an OPP
ponent; those who for personal rea-
sons vote and work against our nomi-
nee, and those political Pharisees who
claim to be Republicans, and better than
their party; each and all of these should
be treated as enemies 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 present glorious
record, but to improve it, and weed out
from the party all those who do not
heartily, honestly and faithfully support
its principles and it's nominees by their
words and acts. To this great end we
must organize now for the campaign of
1900. We have organized on paper, but
it has been the custom heretofore for
the territorial and county committees to
practically disband Immediately after
election, and do nothing until the nomi-
mating convention meets two years
thereafter, when new committees are
appointed, and in the brief time of the
campaign are expected to make a new
organization. This is all wrong and
productive of much loss of valuable time.
The congressional committee is in ses-
sion all the time, and its work is done
more effectively between elections than
during the campaign. This should be
our plan. The present committees
shonld see to the more perfect organiza-
ton in their counties and precincts and
report to the members of the territorial
committee from time to time what they
have done and are doing. The precinct
is the basis of the organization from
which all good results come, and on
which we must depend for success. See
that the precinct organization is in
strong, true hands and the result is as
sured.
Again congratnlating you upon your
remarkable victory in 1898, and con-
iidently predicting a greater in 1900, we
are your faithful servants,
JOHN s. CLARK, Chairman.
MAX. FROST, Secretary.
