A WISE CHOICE

The Chicftein. In referring TO Mr Ro.
dey's big meeting az Socorro. says:
The chieftain last week contained
the abatement that Hon. Is. =. Rodey
was man Of more than average ab,.-
iiy. that he was honest, that he was
eloquent. ana that he had wide ac-
qualntanee In New Mexico. The state
ment was made on the strength Of re-
ports and the probability that the re-
publioan party OF the territory would
nominate no man without those quail
ficatlons FOR the highest political po-
sitlon In iis Rift
Monday night Mr. Rodey delivered
before a crowded assembly IN the court
house of this city an address that must
have proved every point ia the state
ment cited 60 the satisfaction of repub.
leans and democrats alike. Tho state
ment that Mr Rodey 10 able. honest
and eloquent was supported By the
strongest possible evidence. That he
enjoys a wide acquaintance IN New
Mexico ia extremely probable from the
fact that he has been a resident u the
