Shortly before p. m. the commit

vention which had taken a recess
while the resolutions were being pre-
pared The resolutions were read by

and English. They were as follows:
We. the Democrats of Santa Fe
county, in regular convention assem-
bled, do hereby declare and adopt the
following:
Whereas. the Democratic central
committee of this Territory at a reg
ular meeting thereof held in Albuquer-
que on the 18th day of last July did
formulate and adopt a suggestive
platform for the party for the consti-
tutional convention campaign, enun-
ciating therein certain principles
which if engrafted into said constitu-
ton would insure honest. economical
and desirable government, and all Of
which we most heartily commend and
endorse, and
Whereas, the Democrats of this
county generally, waving their right
to place a party ticket in the field
generally, openly and actively partici-
pated in nOn-partisan county con-
vention held in Santa Fe on 22d day
of last August, which convention Sc
lected a non-partisan ticket to be vot-
ed for as delegates to said constitu
tional convention in this county and
adopted platform of principles there
for which platform of principles we
deem worthy of our unqualified en-
H. CyH oh 10 nhy rrix nd
I Whereas, the constitution as franz
ed and now presented for the consid-
Grafton of the voters of this Territory
does not embody such provisions as
will safely insure such right and pro-
lection as was and is deemed right
and proper, if not necessary, and there
fore said constitution is not entitled
to the endorsement of this party. In
view of the foregoing and the fact
that the Democratic partS has here
tofore and does now regard the max
ing of the constitution a non-Dartisan
affair we do not regard the adoption
or rejection of the constitution as a
party question and hereby declare
that it should not be considered and
| made such.
Therefore, be it resolved. that it is
the sense of the Democratic party of
Santa Fe county, that as a party we
should not attempt to commit the par.
ty in the premises but that each and
every voter thereof is expected to ex-
ercise his own personal views and
wishes as to his position and vote on
the question of the adoption or rejec-
ton of said constitution without sub
Jecting his party fealty to question by
the party.
