We're adopted with cheers:
We, the Republicans Of the City of
Santa Fe in convention assembled:
Hereby renew our pledges Of devotion
/ to the grand principles Of that great
party Of progress, prosperity and ex-
pansion which has placed the United
| States In the forefront Of the nations
of the world, and we most heartily in
dorse Its administration in the territory
of New Mexico which for five years
past has placed the territory before
the people of the country in better
and more favorable light than ever be-
fore, has improved its credit and
standing financially and morally until
| yfo1
sition in all that goes to make a pros
porous commonwealth, and we con-
gratulate the people Of the city of
Santa Fe upon its last city administra-
ton, which under Republican princi-
pies was free from any taint of scan
dal or maladministration. Under this
administration the poor people of the
city were given titles free of cost to
their holdings of lands within the linn
its of the city, and under which no new
debts We're attempted to be created
and many of the old obligations left
over from the past Democratic admin
istration were paid.
We denounce as an illegal, unjust
lawless attempt to saddle the city with
a burdensome debt, the action Of the
late Democratic administration, in at
tempting to pledge the city to the pay
ment of interest on 100000 Of bonds, is
sued by a private corporation, and
pledge ourselves that such attempt
will never be recognized as having any
force or effect whatever and that any
attempt to enforce the same will be
resisted by every means at our COM
mand.
We pledge ourselves to use every
possible endeavor and all the means
within our power to construct the
sewer on Water street, and bridges and
sidewalks where they are needed ana
that no portion of the city revenue
shall be diverted to personal benefit by
any means whatever. That the Bate
man law will be strictly observed and
Legitimate creditors Of the city will be
paid so soon as funds will admit.
