formation which discloses some re-
markable actions on part of ex-Goyer

Is being held high aloft for the vener
alton, the respect and the esteem Of
the good people Of New Mexico by the
yellow sheets and the fake reformers
and on whose account the Albuquerque
Morning Coyote Journal and other vel
low Democratic sheets of the Terri
tory have called President Roosevelt
a despot, a tyrant prevaricator
have charged him with having "com
mitted great crime against civlliza-
tion." and IAN outrage on honor and
decency in New Mexico" with having
destroyed whatever little official hon
esty and integrity was left in New
Mexico; with having been fooled by
the worst ring of corruptiOnists and
thieves that ever disgraced any COM
monwealth, and with having sold out
to this desperate gang Of thieves in
order to secure the New Mexico dele
cation to the Republican national
convention.
Trains With Democratic Crowd.
This man Hagerman was ap-
pointed as a Republican by a
Republican administration. It was
therefore his duty as such Republican
to support party principles and not to
give aid and comfort to the enemy.
Among the records is found conf
plete list OF the Democratic orsaniza-
ton of the Territory, Territorial com
mittee, county committees, precinct
chairmen and precinct committees; to
all of these it is understood literature
and newspapers hostile to Republican
party principles and Republican can
ddates were sent from the executive
Office, by whom and by whose order
can well be imagined, before during
and after the last campaign
More Evidence of Fake Reform.
The New Mexican has managed to
secure also true copies of a lot of
choice kilograms sent by the ex-Gov-
ernor to various citizens during the
session of the Thirty-seventh Legis-
lative Assembly These speak for
themselves and are published that th'
people might know the kind of an Of
fetal whom President Roosevelt justly
and timely displaced for the good of
the commonwealth and in the cause
Of honest, fair and just government.
They need no comment. They speak
for themselves. The most unique
feature about them is that they were
sent to be paid at government rates.
What connection they had with the
business Of the government of the
United States does not appear upon
their face. That they may have had
good deal to do with the strenuous
efforts during that session, before it
and after it to build up the Hager-
man machine, to destroy the regular
Republican organization of the Terri
tory and to place the Ex-Governor as
the dictator and Boss Tweed into
power and to give him absolute con-
troll for his own use and purposes and
for his own ambitious ends against
the will of the party and to it's detrl-
ment appears very plain and patent.
Why Government Should Pay is Con-
undrum.
Why the government Of the United
States should pay for the sending OF
these dispatches may be very clear to
the Ex-Governor, but it is certainly not
clear to the 'plain people" who have
to pay full rates over Western Union
and Postal telegraph lines If they want
to engage in a political campaign, IL
they want to pass legislation and de-
sire political help, to boost themselves
and to undo their political enemies
and to gain personal or political VIC
tories. In addition, conduct OF that
kind on the part of an official who
does not hold himself up as a saint,
who does not attempt to wear flve
haloes about his head, and who is not
exalted by yellow sheets in his pay
as a paragon Of official virtue as
model of official excellence, and as a
symbol OF official truth and veracity,
might be condoned or laughed at; the
New Mexican says: might be con
doned or laughed at" although it
should not be, but in this case 1t is
certainly such contrast to the pro
fessions Of a great reformer, reiterat-
ed and reiterated while in the exec
