Democratic. III they would reach the
people In this coming campaign they
must do n through the newspapers.
Not only for the reason above stated.
but also On account Of the fact that

Of sufficient and great importance.
The population Of New Mexico has
grown greatly since the census year
Of 1870 and Ii estimated an al least
100000 above the figure given In that
year. The greater part Of this In
crease has taken place In the past two
years and the settlers aud immigrants
who have come here are mostly un.
acquainted with generaN~conditions
N they exist In the territory. and with
the legislation that should be enact
ed for the advancement and proper
administration OF government affairs
here.
The territory Is extensive; its non.
ulation Is ,still very sparse: MAS
meetings OF great dimensions cannot
be easily O often arranged and
prove successful on account Of the
great distances between settlements,
because OF the loss Of time to country

and immigrants who have, within the
past few years. settled In the farming.
