B. Fergusson will be the next Democratic candidate for congressional He would be a decided improvement over Mr. The anxiety of our Republican friends to persuade themselves and the people generally that Delegate Joseph has lost his popularity and usefulness is apparent and at times painfully so. How they would love to see him among the back numbers in New Mexico pol. But it can't be unless you can reverse the rule of law as it has received universal recognition and administration at the bar of public opinion for a time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the As a candidate he has been causing to bite the dust their most redoubtable champions in tie lists of lour successive Asa Democrat and distinguished leader of the Historic Party of the People he has so established himself in the regard of the and as to be But above as a Delegate in Congress during the past 6 he both by his loyalty to the principles and practices of his party and as well as by his unswerving and fruitful fidelity to his official made himself an invincible personality in New Mexico whether he be as a candidate before a Democratic convention for nomination or as a nominee before the people for Of his career as a Delegate in congress it may be truthfully said that it is This must be deliberate judgment of every unbiased observer who will but stop to make a comparative study of the career of every other Delegate to either from New Mexico or from any other It is therefore not surprising that our Republican friends should exhibit a painful anxiety to persuade the people that one whose invincibility both as a candidate and as a gate has been demonstrated in their own repeated defeat is likely to be Hon. H. B. Fergusson is one of the leading lawyers oi the New Mexico bar and is a gentleman of high standing and character in the Democratic party and among the The Citizen is pardons able for its complimentary reference to one of its townsmen even though it be to pay him such a very great compliment as to say that he would be an improvement over Mr. Joseph but there can be no foundation for the the Citizen to the contrary As to Mr. Joseph's candidacy for a fifth term no one within The Sum's knowledge is This much may be said however - He has not been a candidate ior nor has he indirectly sought the nom in the last two and he has only accepted the tender at the urgent call of kit That the call of his party will go up to him and that be will bow to the of ' V New as we have no and for the following prins cipal Willi all the excellent and unparalleled results of his congressional labors to his he can scarcely be content to lay down his work while he has such high and well grounded hope of passing two of the most important measures introduced by him during his congressional providing for a grant of public lands and money for the maintenance of a common school system in the and the for an act for the admission of New Mexico in union of With the fair prospect of rounding out his career as a Delegate by thi passage of two such measures as these it is scarcely natural that he should decline the call of his party to complete his honored That such a call will be and that it will be a unanimous there is no question among those who are well advised with respect to the Democratic politics of the The editor of the borough Advocate should attend the next territorial convention and the representative Democrats from all parts of the territory and thus post himself on the state of Democratic feeling and preference among the whole then he will realize something he does not seem to understand that there are no Democratic for Delegate against Mr. simply because all who are posted know would be a fruits less Mr. Joseph will be his own at least as Democratic unless he himself wills it and the Hillsborough Advocate will agree with us when it widens its view of Democratic politics and leaders so as to embrace the whole Speaking at any time of an by congress for the admission of New Mexico to statehood always calls to mind the sulky attitude of some of the leaders and newspapers who were prominent supporters of the recent movement for admission which resulted in such an emphatic rejection of the offered Several of the leading Republican newspapers of the territory meet every reference to another movement for statehood with a sneering reference to what they choose to call the verdict of the people against admission on Oct. They express the sentiments of many but if oar observation be and it is based on personal conversation with of those who were most active in their support of the last including some of the influential leaders of the Republican they do not represent the true sens timent of a majority of their Their as expressed in sneering editorial to say the sulky one and decidedly discreditable and unworthy on a subject of such paramount public importance and and one fraught with such momentous consequences to the development of the The immediate cause of the failure of the late movement was followed and strengthened by an objectionable constitution which was offered as the basis of the proposed The political wrangle arose out of the ins temperate demands of the and the result was very largely due to this but it would be just as sensible tor the Democratic party of the nation to abandon its efforts and agitation for tariff reform be cause the people apparently eudor sed Republican high protection principles in Harrison's or as it would be if the Republican party should sulkily abandon their principle of protection if the people should apparently repudiate the by the election of Democratic president next as it for those Republican leaders and newspapers to oppose all efforts at statehood because the people re the rump They either thought statehood would be good for New or they were engaged in an in supporting that Now then what change hai come upon the desired than only 10 months is not now worthy an effort to The conclusion is that they are in the sulks and that their misinterpretation of the verdict of Oct. 7 is deliberate and willful They choose to call it a verdict aginst statehood when the offered was the and that Thousands voted against it who are and always have been ardent state hood Some were led to do so by political and others for valid objections to the constitu but any observer knows barring the political squabble at the inception of the both political parties would have participated in the framing of the constitution and it would have been free of its most objectionable and would not have been subjected to the organized and powerful opposition which exposed its objectionable features in every hamlet in the and thus defeated it.
