the Star fails to note or make known
his own feelings as to the two

cases where the ru]able spirit of
the man seeking the office is in
evidence.

expected, as il had been known

Socorro and entered into law
partnership with Colonel Bree-
don. Six years ago lie was APP
pointed District Attorney for the
district including Socorro county.
Three years ago he and his fam
lily went to Hillsboro. where
they have resided since.
Deceased was a native of Penu-
Sylvauia. In 1856 he was mar
ried to Miss Aurora Chavez of
Hillsboro. Five children, three
girls and two boys, were born of
the union. Bright's disease was
the cause of his death. He had
been i'll for many months and
his friends here knew that the
announcement of his death might
be expected at any time. Death
came to his relief Thursday at
his Hillsboro home and funeral
services were conducted there to-
day.

The charges of official crooked
ness recently brought against
Hon II. O. Bursuni, cx-superinteu-
dent oithe territorial penitentiary,
evidently have not shaken the
confidence of his fellow members
on the republican territorial cen
trail committee in his honesty
and integrity. That fact is we'll
set forth in a resolution passed
by the committee at its meeting
in Albuquerque Wednesday.
Hon. w. II. Andrews also re-
ceived handsome and we'll
merited endorsement for the dis
tinguished services he has
rendered New Mexico and his
party during his present term as
delegate to congress. On the
question of joint statehood there
was some difference of opinion,
amicably expressed, and the
final action of the committee is
fair expression of the sentiment
of the party on that subject.
The following is a part of the
compittee's proceedings as con-
tanned in a report to the Albu-
querque Citizens:
BE it resolved, that we, the
central committee of the republic
can party of New Mexico. here
by congratulate the republican
party of New Mexico upon the

and tirelesS leader, who by his
great executive ability has so
harmonized the different ele-
ments in our party that today il
presents a united front to its OPP
position, and we further hereby
express our complete confidence
in the honesty and integrity OF
the Hon. H. O. Bursum."
