No doubt Delegate Andrews spoke
| just as he felt when, in reply to a
civil and proper question by a rep
~resentative of the Journal he said,
What the hell do l want to talk
about that for?" Tine subject referr-
ed to in this elegant and Andrews
like remark by he delegate, was the
report which had been current for
spme time, that certain gentlemen
of this territory had filed. charges
against Governor Hagerman, in which
they alleged n the governor had
"demoralized the republican party of
New Mexico" the said decentralization
being evidenced by the fact that
whereas the normal republican major
ity in the territory is, % ten thous-
and, Mr.. Andrews had beer able to
pull through with only a beggarly
two hundred and some odd, on the
face of the returns-and we may
fairly assume hat this would be a
very unpleasant matter for Mr.. An
drews to think about, as well as to
talk about, especially in view of the
fact that there is a very strong i'm
preston prevalent among men of all
parties throughout the territory, hat
the republicans of New Mexico on
the Gin of last month, repudiated the
action of the packed convention at
Las Vegas in forcing Mr.. Andrews On
the party again as its candidate for
delegate. an that it required a good
of very active manipulation on
the part of his friends, who happen
ed to have control of the election ma
chinery in most of the counties, to
make a showing of a are majority
for him on the face of the returns,

suppose that Mr.. Andrews may have
fears that Mr. Larrazolo, in pre-
senting his ase beofre the committee |
privileges and elections of the
mex congress-, may be able to show !
up some of the methods by which this |
bare majority on the face of the rel
turns was made to materialize. That, |
of course. would be very unpleasant
for Mr.. Andrews,~an that, we take
it, accounts for his pious rejoinder
to our correspondent at Washington, |
who had the temerity to suggest this
d~isagreeabfe topic of conversation.
We believe that MI. Andrews knows
that a majority of the republicans of
territory did not want him for
q second term, and that If they had
been permitted to send to the onven
ton delegates representatives of their
will in the matter, he would not have
been nominated. But when his nomi-
nation was forced upon the party by
/ convention packed for that purpose
some of these men thought it bet
.er to vote for him lest the chances
IF statehood might be injured by the
Of a democrat, and others
supported him under protest out of
for party discipline; but not
all these, there are
good reasons for believing that a.
ieal of crookedness had to be resort
I'd to in order to give him even a
bare majority OF the face of the re-
.urns. And since Mr.. Andrews knows
well what these reasons are, and
upon what substantial foundations
hey are based. it is not surprising
hat he SHOULD inquire. what the
nell do I want to talk about that
or2"@especially in view of h fact |
nat the whole republican ticket, ex
,ept the delegate, was elected BY
than the normal majority-tne
being almost unanimously
in both branches.
