To-day.
BIG CONCERNS CONTRIBUTE
Miller & Rhoads and Rountrce
Company Each Give $1,000 to
New Building Fund.

The members OF the youn business
mems committee who have worked so
faithfully and so enersetically to do their
part in the Y. VI. c. a. new building
campaign, decided at the daily meeting
yesterday to redouble their efforts and
strain every nerve to raise to-day the re-
maindcr OF tho $4,000 they We're asked
for. To this end the time for tho mid
day luncheon was postponed from 1870
until o'clock In order that the solicitors
might have every available minute during
the business hours before reporting.
Chairman Sills made an urgent appeal
for the young men 10 close up the 5000
share of their committee. and IL the mem
beers Of the teams receive the support
they deserve they Will be successful.
What Has to Be Done.
4 little over $1,000 Is required to
complete the total desired by the COM
mittee. There are but five days left
to continue the campaign. and over
$4,000 is needed to make up the
100000. The young men are doing
moro than they were asked to do.
III the $4,000 mark is reached 10 day.
they can Justly lay claim TO a world
record. Some of the members OF the
citizens committee have become more
active during the past few days but
they Will have hard row to hoe to
report the amounts that arc absolutely
needed TO assure the success OF the
campaign.
A number of large subscriptions,
from $4,000 UP. are necessary The
announcement of the receipt of these
is being anxiousiy awaited.
The young business mems committee
again reported splendid total ycster-
day. 1t was expected that the teams
might aggregate over $4,000, but when
it was disclosed that their total was
nearer $1,000 than $4,000, the workers
felt so enthusiastic that they practi-
cally decided upon the move for $4,000
to-day The reports caused another
shakeup in the standing of the teams,
but without disturbing Captain Blllups
and his ieutenants in comfortable
lead for first place. Team NO. started
in the lead and has held that place
since the first day of the campaign.
Team No. 3, Captain Wiley, is now
yette, third. All but three OF the teams
have passed the $4,000 mark. and one,
No. S. has crossed the $4,000 line.
special meeting OF the citizens COM
mittee will be held at headquarters at
1890 O'Clock this morning. The bust
ness to be transacted Will be important.
As plans will be discussed for extra
efforts to be exerted by the members OF

! A number of minor things in your
letter call for special and particular
answer. For instance. you say that
on the whole you think l nave been
an unsatisfactory governor. This is
foreign to the matter properly in
question. If you had put my removal
on that ground, discussion would be
difficult. 1t is your duty to give New
| Mexico the best governor you can find
and o nave the power when dis
satisfied with one appointed, to make
a change without giving any other rea
son.. But you nave repeatedly said that
your action was based Upon one trans
action alone, and upon nothing else.
If there was any other reason for dis
satisfaction with me, and such reason
did not involve my integrity. 1 should
certainly have withdrawn from the of
flee on the slightest intimation from
you that such condition existed, but,
as to that. l can only say, l did not
suspect anything of the kind. and that
l steadily kept in view the public in
terest and believed that my policies
had your approval and support.
The suggestion that there is any
thing in this transaction which would
justify the inference that l was will
ing to barter the rights of the Terri

me. beg leave to say that no such
inference properly arises, and that if
my reputation for integrity is not a
sufficient answer to this suggestion,
it is susceptible of proof hat 40 such
bargain was possible of consummation
This like the insinuatiol that l bought
with lucrative offices the legislative
support of six members of the council
must emanate from the natural Sis
picion of evil-minded men, who have
no faith il the existence of human in
tegrity. 1 did appoint to lucrative of
fees three members of the Legislative
council. One was the re-appointment
of a man as auditor who held the Of

from the highest considerations of
public interest and l am aware of 10
reason why loyal support to my exc
cutive policies should be thought to
d~isquahfy men otherwise fit to receive
appointments at my hands. Their
legislative terms ended before they
qualified for the offices to which they
were appointed, and it has been the
