SANTA FE, Sept. 27-The conven-
tioa has just taken recess for half an
hour. At the afternoon session the
committees on credentials and perma-
nent organization and resolutions made
their reports. Judge Trimble was
> made permanent president, after which
a caucHs was held. The evening ses-
sion was begun with the nomination
of candidate to be voted for as nom
inee for Delegate. Col Craig and
Judge Thornton were placed in NOM
fnation, and each supported by lengthy
speeches. No other nominations being
made, a recess was taken, and on re-
assembling the chairman of The Mora
county delegation made statement
which threw the convention into great
confusion. 1t was to the effect that
l Mora county would not support either
of the gentlemen before the conven-
ton, and asked that he be allowed to
name new man, who would be ac-
ceptable to that county Leave was
granted, and in glowing speech
he presented the name OF Judge
. L. s. Trimble, of Albuquerque. This
was a great surprise, which was height
ened when Judge Thornton followed
in an impassioned appeal for harmony,
withdrawing his own name and urging
Trimble to accept. There was circus
8 for few minutes. Then Col. Craig
called out thai he was opposed to the
camp meeting, excited way of doing
things, and insisted on proceeding reg
ularly and with dignity. Mariana Lari-
: agaito, of Taos, followed, denouncing
Thornton's movement as a trick, and
Laughlin. of Cerrillos, insisted that it
q was unfair, and was an effort by
Thornton to beat Craig, who is bAckei
by the solid vote of Santa Fe county. 1
should have stated above that Trimble
returned thanks and repeatedly declin
ed the use of his name, but Thornton
beseeched him to become the. Moses Of
the party in this hour Of distress, and
it now seems pr obable that he will be
prevailed on to do SO, and that he will
be the nominee.
The recess just taken at II O'Clock is
DO for the purpose of convincing him that
he ought to offer himself up as Il sac
rifce.
On reassembing two oalIots were
70 taken with the following result. First
ballot, Trimble, 80; Thornton, 13;
Craig, 10. Second ballot, Trimble, 81
Thornton, %; Craig, II. No choice.
10 Adjourned until 10 O'Clock to-mor-
y row morning. Trimble still declines
$ to run.
