gress we earnestly request the Demo
cratic members in both branches of
the national legislature to support a
bill to that effect We denounce the
conduct of the Republican Territorial
Central Committee of New Mexico in
opposing joint statehood in it's recent
meeting as untrue to the promises
heretofore made by them to the people
of this Territory, for their failure to
endorse the only means of becoming a
state which is offered to us by Con-
gress, and for openly antagonizing the
measure, thereby showing that they
are not and, as we have constantly be-
lieved, never have been in favor of
statehood in any FORM"
After the adoption of the resolution,
although considerably after 6 o'clock
p. M. a second executive pow-wow
was held, newspaper representatives
being rigidly excluded, the meeting
thus contrasting very unfavorably
with that of the Republican Central
Committee, whose transactions were
all above deck and board.

Tho Banquet.
Enthusiasm was on tap last evening
at the banquet at the Normandie Ho-
tel rendered by the local Democracy
to the members of the Democratic
Territorial Central Committee. w. s.
Hopewell was toastmaster and proved
such a success that although covers
were laid for 80, there were 70 speech
es and several songs, which were re-
cited as J. A. Mahoney of Deming had
it this morning. OF course, the excel
lent menu, especially the discriminate
| ing selection of wines, whiskey, beer
and coffee, were also powerful factors
in loosening tongues, The Republicans
were lambasted to the kings taste, the
whole list of set toasts as published
in the New Mexican few days ago
being responded to, substitutes taking
the place of those who had toasts as
signed them but were prevented from
being present. After the set address
es followed impromptu speeches and
songs. The decorations consisted OF
profuse display of bunting and flags.
The electric light effects were especi'
ally fine and the following resolution
was offered and unanimously adopted: +:
BE 1t resolved. That the thanks OF
the Democratic Central Committee and
its friends are due and are hereby
rendered to w. H. Friedman, man
ager of the Santa Fee Water and Light
Company for the liberal Republican
spirit and the personal generosity
which he displayed in providing the
beautiful electrical effects which add
SO much to this occasion, entirely with
out cost or charge to us; and to his
capable assistant, Arthur Griffin, cleo
trician of said company, who did the
active work of placing the lights. and
did it in so tasteful manner, we also
express our full appreciation"
