Presidente de la Comisi6n Cen
trail Republican, del Condadc
do San Miguel.
Apreciable CaballeIo;
Tenemos el placer de informar I'd
que por cuanto nosctros hemos COM
batido las fllas Republicans por ha-
ber estado en- 10 pasado afiliados al
partido Dem6crata, al que hemos per
tenecido toda nuestra vida desde que
somos votantes legales. De ahora en-
adelante nos declaramos fieles adhe-
rentes del partido Republican,, por-
que estamos satisfechos que sus prin.
cipios son en- todo y por todo los que
favorecen las masas del pueblo pobre
Y trabajador. Pues estamos desenga-
ilados y satisfechos que en- la Demo-
craeia no hay mas de servilismo y
OPPRESSION Ojala y todos los Dem6cra-
tas de principles llegasen & compren-
der esto; ahorita no quedaria en- su
rebaho nj qui6n guiara su barca y to-
do seria desolacion. Nosotros hemos
comprendido aunque tarde que el par
lido Republican, es al que realmente
debian de pertenecer las masas del
pueblo, porque sus principles son sa-
grades, por la principal razon que
siempre han sostenido la libertad &
igualdad de-derechos, hacia el pueblo
sin hacer distinction de razas nj de CO.
lor y tamano.
Por 10 tanto hacemos saber q todos
aquellos quienes concierna que de
hoy en- adelante entraremos la lid
como soldados Republicanos y pelea-
remos sus batallas, procurando su
triunfo. Esto 10 hacemos sin ningun
intsres pecunario y 10 hacemos libres
y espontaneamente, como libres ciu-
danos americanos de los Estados Uni
dos. Pues estamos convencidos que
estamos en- nuestro pleno derecho. Y
asi queremos ser bien eutendidos de
que desde hoy en- adelante detesta-
mos al partido Democrata y les anun-
ciamos q nuestros ex-amigos de que
no cuenten mas con nosotros nj con
nuestra ayuda. Nos retiramos de sus
filas porque estamos convencidos de
que sus principles nunca favoreceran
al pueblo pobre. Pues la experiencia
en- 10 pasado cuando han estado en-
poder son una insignia muy poderosa
para mostrar 10 que han sido, 10 que
son y 10 que seran. Asi pues, por Ill
timo, espero de listed, que tenga la
bondad de publican en- su apreciable
semanario "El Independence esta
protesta, para el conocirniento de to-
dos nuestros amigos. Tambien desea.
mos expresar que no tenemos resen-
timiento nj ojeriza personal en- con-
ira de nadie. Y solamente nos dc
claramos politicamente para que se-
pan nuestros amigos cual es ahora
nuestra determination y nos reeonoz-
can de ahora en- adelante como defen-
sores y amigos fi6les del grande y gio-
rioso partido Rrepublicano.
Quedamos de I'd. sus Amigos que lie
deseamos felicidades.
