| POLITICAL MATTERS IN SAN MIGUEL COUNTY
To the Editor OF the New Mexican.
LAS VEGAS, July 5, 1S90.-If there ar
those who are deluded into the though
that the Republicans of San Miguel count.
are disorganized, they will realize thei
mistake after the election.
Personal differences between members
Of the party here, though subject of re
greet, will not in the end affect the allegi
ance of Republicans to their ticket. A
Republican convention as usual will be
held; Republican ticket will be nolni
mated, and a determined and organized
effort will be made, not to elect the ticket
simply, but to elect it with majority,
that will be satisfactory to our friends
throughout the territory. There is no dis
satisfaction among Republicans here, out
side of half dozen soreheads who have
always been uncertain factors in political
matters. We have always had few
boodlers and would-be disorganizers here,
but even this class of unfortunate people
are materially reduced in numbers. We
never had as many Republicans in the
county as We have now, nor fewer in
tluenced by individual grievances or per
sonal motives.
In one case the Democrats of whole
precinct have bodily abandoned the
Democratic party and are now actively
cooperating with the Republicans. 1t is
thought the Democratic party with its
empty meaning will entirely lose its
identity and merge in what is called the
Peoples party, headed by the feverish
leaders OF the late Burro party-a party
that showed its strength last election
by receiving about 200 votes out OF a
total of 5000 votes cast here two years
ago.
Republicans are Indifferent whether
they are to oppose the Democratic party
or the other. Like the famous sons of a
mythical parent, they "are as much
alike, can not be told apart, save by
name" We shall make q clean fight to
the finish on sound Republican prin-
ciples. We will hew to the line, and
watch with delight the chips fall where
they may.
Last Friday evening a strong Republl-
can club was organized here, to be known
as the Las Vegas Republican club, David
Winters was chosen president; G. W.
Prichard and Stephen Booth, vice presi-
dents; Juan Marcus and Antonio Lucero,
secretaries, and Benigno Romero, treas
urer. This club, in Las Vegas alone, will
be l 900 strong, and will be most effec-
tive organization for the Republican party.
The club champions no mans candidacy,
but will bodily support the party nomi-
nees.
You will hear from the Las Vegas Re-
publican club during the coming election.
VERIFY.

-Lordsburg Liberal.
The New MEXICAN says the Democrats
OF Bernalillo county will run II, V. Harris
for sheriff. Mr.. Harris is the strongest
man in the Democratic party in this coun,
ty and he is too good a man to be slaugh-
tered in the race for eritf.-Albuquer-
que Citizen.
A San Pedro Republican writes the
New MEXICAN, that the San Pedro Re-
publican club is being reorganized, that
meetings will be held regularly and that
a great many Of the San Pedro Republi
cans are in favor of the nomination CT
Hon. T. B. Catron for delegate.
