At Terra Amarillo on Tuesday night
OF last week there WAS a very enthusiastic
meeting in the interest Of statehood
Some 500 people were present from al
parts OF the county OF Rio Arrba, anG
speeches were made by Messrs. John H
Knaebel Alexander and +. NJ. Read
On Saturday night there was similar
meeting at Chama, during which joint
discussion OF the state constitution took
place between John H. Knaebel, esq.
and j. H.. Crist. Parties who
were present say that Crist made most
senseless and bitter partisan speech, anC
that Mr.. Knaebel, fguratvely speaking
simply wiped the floor with HIM. 1t was
a big victory for the progressive element
and made friends for the constitution.
The Mora county Democrats, what few
of them are left have set Monday, Sep
TENDER 30 as the day for holding then
county convention.
Francisco Baca Y Sandoval, deputy nm
der Postmaster koogler, at Las Vegas, is
a candidate for probate clerk on the so
called peoples Ticket
The decent element of the party is no
being consulted just now in the make W
Of Democratic tickets in this county
Attempts at vindication seem to be tht
order of the day.
1t seems right well established tina
Col. }. A. Lockhart will receive the Re
publican nomination for sheriff of Gran
county and, if SO, there seems to be NJ
doubt Of his election.
Frank W. Parker, Of Hlllsboro, will, il
all probability, receive the Republican
nomination for member OF the house iron
Sierra county, and the chances are great
| ly in favor of his election.
The Democrats OF San Juan count,
hold their county convention at Aztec OF
the 4th OF October The county sea
question will very likely cut the larges
figure in the campaign IN that county.
The present very efficient and vel
known sheriff OF Sierra county, Hon. A
NJ. Story, announces himself as a candi
date for denomination, subject to thu
decision of the Republican county con
vention.
The Democrats in Rio Arriba count,
are looking for men to place upon thei
county ticket. They are after Sam Eldod
to take the nomination for the council
But Sam knows too much and gently de
clines. His head is level very level ex
tremely level.
The New MEXICAN is informed tina
there will be no regular Republican coun
ty ticket put up in Eddy county, but tina
it will be free for all, helter-skelter race
except on members OF the legislature
This is not good idea, but very likely
can not be helped. Eddy county is very
close to the Lone Star state.
The present sheriff OF Socorro county

and most efficient officials i'll New Mex.
leo, and who has collected over 90 pei
cent Of the taxes of his county and has
settled his accounts promptly, honestly
and to cent, will, according to the lates
advices, be renominated by the Republi
cans Of that county. They can not dc
any better.
A statehood meeting at Socorro was
held on Monday night and among the
speakers were Hon. NJ. 5. Otero and Hon
I. b. Catron, who spoke in both English
and Spanish. Over 1000 voters were
present and the cause OF progress was
given q big lit to the fore. From all re-
ports Socorro is all right and the discus
sion of the constitution is continuously
making for it new supporters in that To-
Cality.
The slate is pretty well fixed up in
Santa Fe county Democratic boss circles,
and will consist in all likelihood of Ro-
muo Martinez for the council, Frank
Chavez for sheriff, Abe Gold for assessor
and Luciano Baca for probate judge. Mr.
Abe Spiegelberg is candidate for the
but the New MExICAN's in
formation is to the effect that he can not
make it, although his friends are working
hard for him.
