STRONG RESO' i'TIONS.
San Miguel County Republicans Arraign
the Democratic and Union Parties.

The following resolutions were pre-
sented by Col. r. E. Twitchell at the
county convention Of the Republican
party held at Las Vegas last week, and
were passed with cheers:
This convention of the Republican
party of the county of San Miguel an
nounces it's allegiance to that great po-
litical organization which has accom-
plished more for the people of the Unit
ed States than any other since the birth
Of the American republic.
We declare that the Republican party
is the party Of progress. of patriotism,
Of prosperity and of protection to all
the people. regardless of their position
or occupation in life.
We declare that the political conglom-
crate now arrayed in opposition to the
policies of Republicanism as announced
in the Philadelphia platform is a men,
ace to the prosperity that now exists in
the nation, and is attempting, by fake
issues, to mislead the unthinking and to
arouse in the minds of the people a
class distinction wholly un-American
and unworthy of the antecedents of the
party whose name it Is now using as a
mask to deceive the American people.
We declare that William Mckinley
has proven himself a careful, patriotic
painstaking statesman, and president
worthy of the place he has so ably filled,
and whose administration we indorse in
every particular.
We declare that for many years the
territory of New Mexico has had no
ADLER executive than our fellow towns
man, Hon. Miguel A. Otero, and we con-.
gratulate him upon the record he has
made in upholding the dignity of his
office, in administering the affairs Of the
territory, and invite a comparison of his
official acts with those Of his immediate
Democratic predecessor, and we indorse
mis- administration, saying, "Well done,
good and faithful servant"
Resolved. That we in.szcrse the career
in congress Of ofr del, gate, the Hon.
Pedro Perea, and commend his course
there as the representative of the peo-
pie of the territory of New Mexico.
We declare that the present admins
tration of the affairs Of the county of
San Miguel is worthy of the party
which put it's officials in office. We take
pride in their official acts, and state that
all debts are being paid as they are in
Cured, the countys interest charges
are met as they accrue, and the credit
of the county, destroyed or dissipated
under Demo-Pop- Union party rule. Is
being restored, and we believe that a
continuance of the policies of the Re-
publican party. in its desire to restore
the county's credit, will in short time
reduce the rate of taxation to such an
extent as to make the burden, now so
onerous, easier to bear by rich and poor
alike.
We unhesitatingly condemn the Union
party, heretofore existing in this county
as an auxiliary, alder and abettor Of
Democratic ideas and Democratic prin-
ciples, and declare that vote for
Unionist is vote for Democrat,
whether for county office. or seat in
the territorial legislature, or for dele
gate to the congress of the United
States.
Being New Mexicans, whose ances-
tors became part Of the United States
under policy of American progress
and American expansion, we condemn
as the idle creation Of disordered po-
litical fancy. the issues of Imperialism
and mllitarism now announced as being
paramount" and declare that New
Mexico stands as an example Of expan-
sion Of the United States, along with all
that portion of our glorious Union lying
west of the Mississippi river, and we
assert that the blatant demagogery and
despicable deception as to the real is
sues before the people, now so popular
with the Democratic party, are slam
der upon, and an insult to, the intelli-
gence Of the citizens of the most united
and most enduring republic in the his
tory of the world.
