We charge that the city has been
robbed of land under the Santa Fe land

sons who have no legal or equitable

that a conspiracy was entered into to
rob property owners, through exorbi-

veys, and despoil them Of their lands
by false surveys, and other dishonest
proceedings. We charge that valuable
franchises have been voted away
promoters, with no benefit to the city.
We charge that had it not been for
the Jealous manner in which our pres
emit, capable and efficient Republican
city treasurer, Hon. Manuel Valdez, has
guarded the public funds of the city,
the same would have been squandere1
by the present Democratic city admin
istration for the benefit of few de-
spoilers of public interest, and We here
by tender our grateful thanks to him
for his efficient and valuable services
to the party and the people.
We call upon all good citizens to unite
with us in giving this city fair and
decent and efficient city government by
voting for the Republican candidates on
Tuesday.

and the same is hereby, adopted as the
emblem of the city Republican ticket
