by the sincere. straightforward re-
Spouse which he made to the plaud-

where an elaborate program OF
speeches was carried out
The speeches can best be classified
a. good, bad aud indifferent The
good speeches vers made by Gover-
nor-elect Mcdonald ana Hon "a. w.
Ferguson. the bad pnes by George
". Pritchard and II tkagd ". Hanna
and the Indifferent ONES by q. \. Mar
ron and the other gentlemen who
spoke.
Taxing them IN the order OF their
classification rather than that in which
they we're made. ths speech OF Mr..
Mcdonald WAS a calm. dispassionatc
and patriotic appeal 10 the people OF
the state TO hurry faefional differences
and present & united aroai IN tho cam
pasgn 20 come for the upbuildlng ol
New Mexico. No trace Of bitterness
married the utterancsA OF the speaker.
ON the contrary. his feeling seemed 10
De one OF gratitude for the honor
which had been conferred upon him
and OF deep apprs elation OF tho re-
sronslbllltics which the honor carried
with u. That Mr.. Mcdonald struck a
responsive chord In the hearts Of his
hearers was shown by the protracted
| and enthusiastic applause with which
he Was greeted by the big crowd
which completely filled the thaater.
of the same general tenor was the
speech OF Mr.. FERGUSON, Mf. Fer.

| speech. and In fact, owing 10 a slight
indisposltion. had not intended TO BE-
present, lie came In late. however
and took n seat IN the audience. and
when his presence Wa discovered the
cells for him were 10 itisirtent that he
made his way 70 the stage and de-
liyersd a brief talk. Those who heard
Mr.. Ferguson last nighs have no cause
20 wonder that ne Is the idol OF the
Democratic masses in New Mexico
Briefly, out eioquently. he expounded
the principles OF his party. and the
i.bsolute fairness Of the speaker. COM
bined with his strong personal mag
netlsm, ELECTED the greatest enthus-
asm on the part OF his hearers.
Not so fortunate IN their uiteranees
were Messrs. Prltchard and Hanna.
The principal trouble with colonel
Pritchard was that ne seemed not 10

speech was bitterly partisan, and diff
fered hut little from those that ne
had been making for the last month
