Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-06-05
The New Mexican,

The New Mexican, with the single eH-
| ception of the Denver Rocky Mountain
News, is the oldest paper in New Mex
leo, in Colorado, in Arizona and western
Texas. The thirty-seventh volume of
the Daily New Mexican is now being
| published; in addition to the daily edi-
ton the New Mexican Review is pub
lished weekly in the English language
and Ell Nuevo Mexicano weekly in the
Spanish language, by the New Mexican
Printing Company.
The thirty-six completed volumes of
the New Mexican present a most val
liable and complete history of the terri
tory since 1863. The paper is Republic
an in politics. and has been so during
it's entire existence, except for three
years during the second Cleveland adj
ministration, when a large majority Of
| stock was held by citizens who were
| Democratic in politics. While Repub-
lican in politics and a strong supporter
of the present national and territorial
| administrations, the paper is conducted
fairly, and treats it's political opponents
courteously and decently. It has been,
since 1863, from it's very first number up
to date, when the ninety-first number
of the thirty-seventh volume is pub
lished, a most powerful factor in the
upbuilding of the best interests Of the
territory, in shaping political events, in
advocating what is just and right and
for the good of the people, and in aiding
in every possible every section
of the territory toward prosperity, hap
piness, wealth and peace.
Messrs. Manderfield and Tucker were
the first publishers. The paper con-
tinued under their management until
the winter of 1880, when the New Mex
lean Publishing and Printing Company
was organized, and the paper was sold
by Messrs. Manderfield and Tucker to
that corporation. This company had
control Of the publications named above
until June, 1883, when the New Mexican
Printing Company was organized, as
it's successor, which from that time to
the present day has been in control.
The president of the company is Max.
Frost, of Santa Fe, and its business
manager, J. D. Hughes, also of Santa
Fee. In it's various departments the COM
pany employs on an average all the
year around about thirty people, at
good wages,and has the largest printing
and book-binding establishment in New
Mexico. The finest blank books that
can possibly be made are manufactured
by the New Mexican Printing Com
pany. Every kind of blank work, book
and job printing and binding is being
done at it's offices.
There is scarcely a postoffice where
the paper in one Of its editions is not
taken at, and some of them in large
numbers.
Citizens of New Mexico who have the
welfare Of the territory at heart frank
ly acknowledge and appreciate the
services Of the New Mexican, the New
Mexican Review and Ell Nuevo Mexi-
cano in working for the upbuilding of
this commonwealth. The city Of Santa
Fe, especially, has reason to be proud
of it's daily newspaper, which would do
credit to a city many times its size, and
which is untiring In bringing to the no.
.tice Of the world the advantages, the
beauties and the Of the cap
ital city. But appreciation or no appre-
citation, gratitude or ingratitude, the
New Mexican will continue to labor for
the welfare of Santa Fe and the terri
tory at large, and will advocate those
principles which time and experience
have proven to be the foundations of
prosperity and progress.
