POLITICAL POINTERS.


TO-. MORA COUNTY IN LINE.
Mora, oct 3.-On Thursday, at the
county seat of Mora county, the delegates
of the Peoples party of Mora county,
being the Republicans and the best ele-
ment OF the Democratic party, met in
convention to nominate candidates for
the territorial and county officials. Out
of the twenty-nine precincts twenty-three
had full representation of three from
each precinct, and one precinct had one
delegate. There were only the two
furthest precincts, Tequesquite and
Tramperas, which are nearly $50 miles
| from the county seat, not represented
owing to the great distance and the
shortness of the call. 1t was generally
remarked that never before in the his
tory of Mora county had such full and
intelligent delegation attended conven-
ton. 1t was fine body of men, all
imbued with the desire to nominate a
county ticket which will carry reform
into our rotten county affairs. The de-
lberations were quietly and earnestly
carried on, and as result they put up a
ticket which is universally accepted as
satisfactory, and which will be carried at
the next election by great majority.
Following is the ticket:
Senator-Gov. o. A. Hadley, OF Wa
trous.
Representatives Romaldo Roibal, Of
Wagon Mound; Seferino Trujillo, Of
| Coyote.
Sheriff-John Doherty, of Mora.
County Commissioners-Mateo Lujan,
of Mora Bernardo Romero, of Watrous ;
Justus J, Schmitt, of Wagon Mound.
County Clerk-Rafael Romero, of
Mora.
Assessor-Serapio Romero, of Wagon
Mound.
Treasurer-Simon Vorenberg, San An
tonic.
Superintendent of Schools - Miguel
Martinez, Mora.
Probate Objectionable Gonzales.
The Democrats on the Democratic
ticket are already demoralized. Some of
them have already resigned. Agapito
ALeytia, jr., the candidate for sheriff on
the Democratic ticket, is not quite so
sure, in spite of all his tender years,
that he will get there, and right he is,
for the people of Mora county are deter
mined to make an end of Democratic
misrule, and will have new deal out
and-out, and look into that court house
swindle, and mete out justice. The out
look of the future is bright for the Repub-
lican party in Mora county.

ing statehood meeting at Mesilla the other

In the line of hard work no man has
done more for the constitution than Col.

show its results. AS matters now look,
some underhanded work
by the enemies of progress, Dona Ana
will give safe majority for the constitu-
ton.
