TO make a long story short, and tell
IL In plain English. without any cir
c~umiocution. this territory had been
IN the clutches Of q band Of thieves
for 20 long = time that they had come
to believe they owned II. and they
used Il accordingiy-and any n who
had the audacity 10 object to their
perversion Of the public interest o.

Ia fact. than va can take the space to

Thon Il 50 happened that the prcsi-
dent Of the United states appointed a
man 10 be governor Of New Mexico
who Was not In sympathy with the
policy Of robbery above referred to,
and az once entered upon an effort
10 give the territory o government Of
the people. by the people and for the
people. and thereby gave the mem
beers Of the gang above mentioned
mortal offense. They saw that a
change must BE- effected. or their oe-
capation would be gone, and there
fore they liked up . story by which
they deceived the president and caus-
ed him TO remove his appolntec,
whose only real offense consisted Of
tho fact that ne was honestly n
~deavorinE to carry out the presidents
orders. and give the people 90 New
Mexico an honest and decent govern
ment. The character OF The new APP
pointce has nothing to do with the r.
sue. The victory for plumber was
achieved when the man who, for In
slsting upon honest methods. was
forced TO step down and out.
The essence Of the story through
which the band worked the president
and secured the removal OF the COVER
nor. consisted of The fact mat the gov
ofnor had sold TO the Pennsylvania
Development company a small body Of
territorial lands ~ a price which was
too low. The persons who we're using
his story for this purpose knew that
They were making false representa-
lions and giving The president a false
impression. they knew that the lands

a part Of the purchase money had
been paid and notes Of hand taken for
