Be it resolved by the Republicans of
the City of Santa Fe, in delegate con-
vention assembled:
That we heartily indorse the adminis-
tration of President Mckinley, which
has brought to the nation at large peace
and glory, and to this territory unprec-
edented prosperity.
That as part of such administration
we most heartily approve of the course
pursued by Governor Otero, since he
has been the chief executive of the ter
ritory, under whom it's affairs have been
administered efficiently. honestly and
for the best interests of the people.
That the conduct of the last Demo-
cratic city administration merits the
severest condemnation of all citizens
and taxpayers without regard to poll
tics, for it's high handed methods and
utter disregard of law. We charge that
the present city administration has ap-
pointed officers in violation of the stat
ute: that it has caused the public money
to be paid out to personal favorites in
utter disregard of law, and has failed to
pay just and valid accounts against the
city, in direct violation of the Bateman
law; that it has failed to repair our
sidewalks, or clean our streets, until
now they are disgrace to the city, as
that it has attempted to violate solemn
contracts of the city, and to issue bonds
for a large amount of money, without
any consultation with the taxpayers,
and for which there was no necessity;
that it has appointed officers who We're
notoriously unfit persons for the posi-
tions and has generally shown an utter
disregard for the wishes of the taxpay-
ers, and contempt for the laws of the
territory.
Resolved, that this convention ex-
tends it's sincere sympathy to Hon. J. d.
Sena in his illness, with it's hope for his
full and speedy recovery, and also ex-
tends to Mr.. Sena it's full appreciation
of his unselfish and patriotic action to-
ward this convention.

nent Republicans. An emblem will be
