Santa Fe Daily New Mexican

So there is more talk of an extra session of congress. Shouldn't wonder.
The initial number of the Weekly Examiner, a new Las Vegas publication, is gladly welcomed to our exchange table.
The anti-state Republicans continue to chuckle in their sleeves over the success of the A. P. A. in defeating our cause before the late session.
The New Mexican violates nobody's confidence in announcing that the next municipal government of New Mexico's capital city will be Democratic.
There are no Pacific railroad strings tied to Secretary Hoke Smith. Those roads must pay their debts to Uncle Sam before they get patents to any more public land. Good.
"In view of the advancing spring time," the Republican Water street organ may rest assured that golden Cochiti scarcely stands in need of legal advice at the present writing.
The Las Vegas Optic's high estimate of the San Miguel county delegation in the late legislative assembly is significant, to say the least. The Optic's party may need some of 'em in the campaign of '96.
The Grant county press is painfully silent touching the endeavors of Representative Carr in the late assembly. Mr. Carr wasn't really very bad, but his conduct touching the repeal of that disgraceful Catron change of venue act hasn't been explained as yet to the entire satisfaction of his friends hereabouts.
The New Mexican believes that, unless the question is settled and settled right during the year 1895, an unequivocal free silver coinage platform will be the national Democracy's only hope for success in 1896. Silver must not only be the watchword in New Mexico, but throughout the length and breadth of the land. We might as well take sides on this question now as later. We know that the Albuquerque Democrat has given its "editorial indorsement" to the anti-Democratic move in this matter. Now let's hear from the balance of the territorial press.
The Albuquerque Democrat, judging from its boastful utterances, has quite made up its mind that it must part company with the Democratic party in order to try and help along the true interests of silver. In this the New Mexican must take issue with its contemporary. Jones, Stewart & Co. have been tried and found wanting. Let's give Jones, Bland & Co. a chance and settle this great problem within the ranks of Democracy.
And now the thrifty little town of White Oaks is in mourning over a mine disaster. The keenest sympathies of all New Mexicans go out to the people there and those whose loved ones went down to death in the Old Abe mine shaft. Thirty deaths in the mines of New Mexico inside of fifteen days is a terrible record. Those hardy sons of toil who go down into the bowels of the earth to develop our resources are surely brave men. We who delve in the sunshine can well pause and reflect how illy paid they are, as a rule.
