News of the Day.

Hon. A. L. Morrison leaves tonight for
New York where he has been asked to
call at national Republican headquarters
for assignment for campaign addresses
on protection and Republican principles
in the states of New York, Connecticut
and New Jersey. Judge Morrison only
yesterday returned from twenty-tour
days campaign in company with Mr.
Catron, being continuously on the 60 and
making twenty-eight addresses, and al
though he is pretty nearly tired out, he Is
one of those men whose splendid energy
will not permit of Sinking a duty at this
vital time in the history of the country
He will reach New York on Saturday and
will take the field on Monday, delivering
some fifteen speeches in ten days, and
thence returning home i'll time to be here
on election day.
In this connection it may be stated
that this trip comes out of vacation
time" which the government vouchsafes
to all its employees each summer. In
stead of taking the usual summer vaca'
| ton from his official duties at the Lane
office, Judge Morrison worked through
1.-THE summer so as to be able to put IL
the time this fall in the interest of HI;
friends and his party-an option which
he had perfect right to. But her'
comes Mr.. Joseph chattering about thi
matter in his usual 1l1ppant style.
In one of his political harangues thu
other day Joseph charged that MORT
son does not remain in his office to at
tend to business five days in the month;
that "he is drawing a salary from thu
government of $4,000 year with oflic
fees enough to bring it up to total o
| S4,5OO.
Every word of this is false. How ig
norant a Democratic member of congres
can be of such things is aptly show
here. In the present house of represen
tatives a bill is now pending to increas
the salary of registers and receivers of |
S. land offices from $500 to $1,000; tn
very highest maximum salary registe
can receive under the present law, il
GLIDING all fees, is only $4,000 year, an
yet here is Joseph alleging that Judg
Morrison's salary and fees amount
S4,5OO. He is evidently as ignorant {
the law on this sub iect ae he is snOrar
of -vh2t % going on in the very house
which he is a member.
Judge Morrison this morning receive
letter from Hon. R. c. kerens, OF 5
Louis, requesting him to come to Nil
souri, and speak during the campaign
but he having placed himself at the dis
posal of the national committee, OF cours
he had to decline.
Sierra County Campaign.
Corresp ,ndrnce New Mexican.
KINGSTON, Oct. 16.-The campaign Is
in great shape throughout the county, an
it will be one of the hottest battles Sierl
county has seen for years.
The Republicans have named vel
strong ticket for county officers, and
will carry weight with it. The great figl
in this county will be on the sheriff al
delegate to congress. The last sever
elections have given Antonio Joseph
majority in the county.
But IL HOOu WOl II 10 UNIV "AN'>
should be done the majority will be q
the other side. There is no use denyln
the fact that the Democratic party is
work throughout the county with all /
might. and it behooves the Republican
to keep their eyes open until the pol
close.
Since the Hon. T. B. Catron and Ho
A. L. Morrison were here and gave Il
= people the inside doings of our presel
delegate
= MATTERS HAVE CHANGED SOME,
Y and the feeling, toward sending the Hon.
: B. Catron to congress is strong and Il
prospect bright. That both ofthese gentl
men created favorable impressic
r on the minds of our citizens, there is Z
doubt. The people turned out en- mass
to hear them. Miners came for distan'
: of twelve miles to hear these great oreto
speak and if Kingston had had large
hall it would of been packed, as man
were unable to gain the inside of Il
: church where the meeting was held.
The Republicans l think will elect BIZ
Chavez as representative, and he Will I
doubt give the people of Sierra count
satisfaction. He is a man of ability an
well qualified to fill the bill, and frol
! what | can learn from the lower preclnc
they are heartily in favor of his electio
His opponent ". S. Hopewell is ia
=. sort of man, but this is the way the natiN
New Mexicans view the case; the Dem'
+ cratic party during the past four yea
r has never recognized any of them, an
t it is the first time for many yea
I. that a native New Mexican has been r
u cognizeu in this county by nominatio
to the legislature. There is sure thin
