Special Correspondence of the Optic.
CERRILLos, N. M, January a.
The following heavy editorial which

excites great deal of comment among
mining men here and among the
friends Of the free coinage principle
in general:
1t Is n It known, how may free silver re,
pu biicans there are in New Mexico, but II
looks as II they, no matter how many,
were getting ready to flock by themselves
during the coming campaign.
The above. II 1t means anything,
means that the gold bug wig Of the
republican party, with which Frost
ind his kind ere affiliated, have served
notice on tho 'sffee silver republicans
Of New NJ. xico that they need, expect
nothing during this year OF grace at
the hands Of the goldite machine

words, il free coinage republicans

miners come pretty near holding the
