POSITION ON DELEGATES.
Every Man has a Right 10 His Own
Conviction and Op,n,on.
La \oz Publica:

In out initial number We made
mention ol several prominent men
IN the republican party IN conncc.
ton with the nomination tor Dele.
gate to the SiXty.hrst Congress.
In that issue We admitted the good
aud efficient works our worth, dele.
gate Hon. W. II. Andrews has
done Tor New Mexico; Since that
issue We have noted a lev com
ments by some newspapers upon
the question Ut those papers which
are not entirely in accord and iav.
orlng a denomination vi MIR. An
drrws this tall tor delegate to con.
gress. Few OF these papers not IN
accord with SAID denomination
nave given aud expressed their
views upon the proposition as they
see It. They have that night aud
we admire and appreciate the stand
taken III the premises. Now comes
our position upon this question as
We see It, We are not opposing
MIR. Andrews should he receive the
nomination We SIMPLY give our
views OF the possibility oi ms cleo.
ton IN case ne Is nominated. Take
only II item, Tor instance, his
small majority two years ago; COM
pare that with the same conditions
OF las. election, add the possible
two third Democratic majority OF
the new vote which has come INTO
the Territory, IN the last two wears
conser vativcly estimated from land
office records at something over
10000, and YOU have the situation
perfectly clear. Now, under this
conditions can the Republicans
elect MIR. Andrews We think not,
this is oar frank aud sincere opln.
ION oil the proposition.
1t has been SAID 10y few news
papers that the narrow margin up
on which MIR. Andrews was elect
ed, was due to some extent to tn,
dissatisfaction created among
many Republicans on account OF
the removal OF Governor Hagcr.
man. We cannot see a single
county ~ the Territory that could
have taken It so much AT heart, To
abandon their principles on that
account except, possibly in Chavez
and Edd\ counties where the Re.
publlcans cut very little ice, II any.
Dad san Miguel county Tor wears
the Empire republican county
OF New Mexico, Rio Arriba aud
Guadalupe counties, give MIR. Lar.
razolo such large malorlties due TO
the removal OF liagcrman1 We
again say nc.
Then under this condition is the
Republican party willing to nom.
mate Mr.. Andrews IN the iace OF
defeat. Ii is true that nearly the
entire Republican press advocate
Mr.. Andrews nomination again this
tall, but we say, a the press un-
tie the party 10 the extent OF as
surfing his election. We are rot
from Missouri, and don't are TO
hc shown to see that unless the
party could be completely united
defeat would strike us at the polls
in November. In our issue OF last
week we said in an article, remem,
her 1884. That year and ten con.
secutIve years afterwards are still
fresh in the minds OF the people in
| New Mexico under Democratic
rule,
In our opinion we believe that
our party has n IN who could
unite the entire party IN New Mex.
leo to victory next tall the Hon.
Edward a. Mann, at present Judge
OF the sixth Judicial District.
Judge Mann could get more votes
IN the Pecos Valley than any can
didate that the party could nomI.
nate. The Judge is not an active
candidate but many oil his friends
all over the Territory would like
TO see him nominated Tor Delegate.
His name uEquestionably will he
before the convention and we pre-
diet that il will receive the due con.
sideration at the hands OF the Re-
publicans when assembled Tor such
purpose. We have expressed our
position in this matter and all We
ask lair play, we are entitled to it,
and will see that we do get it, We
respect the opinion and conviction
OF every man and expect the sam,
consideration, let us act Tor tn,
welfare OF our party and let us not
be guided by pure selhshness.
