friends who would like to see him dele
gate to the Republican convention at
Minneapolis.
Col. j. Frank Chaves has numerous
admirers who would like to see him go as
delegate to the Republican national con
vention at Minneapolis.
Lorenzo Lopez has the delegate bee in
his bonnet. No go, Don Lorenzo, the
White Caps may carry San Miguel county,
but that is as far as it will go.
Register s. P. McRea, OF the Las Cru
ces land office, would not be averse to
going to the Republican national conven-
ton as a delegate from New Mexico.
The delegation to urge the admission
of New Mexico will not reach Washington
till after the conclusion of The Irrigation
convention at Las gas.-Denver Tim es.
Hon. Justo r. Armijo, one of the best
men in Bernalillo county, is spoken OF
for the Republican nomination for sheriff
of that county. No better nomination
could be made.
Grant county will likely present the
name of Judge j. d. Bail for delegate to
the Republican national convention at
Minneapolis; the Judge would make a
| tirst-class delegate.
Capt. John H. Riley will in all likeli.
hood be nominated for the council by the
Republicans of Dona Ana and Grant coun.
ties if nominated he will be elected. That
! is established.
1t is now beginning to look as if the
New MExIcAN's work for a ticket COM
posed of good and energetic men and tax
payers at the coming city election in
Santa Fe is bearing fruit and good fruit
The New MEXICAN is informed that the
order of Mutual Protection in San Migue
county has over 1900 members on ltt
rolls. The order favors the maintenance
of law and order and is opposed to White
Capism.
There will he no discussion over the &c
lection OF delegates to the Democratic ma
tional convention from New Mexico; two
will be sent and the pontifex maximus
w. B. Childers, and his little gang a
Albuquerque, have already agreed upor
the names. All tie Democratic terri
torial convention will have to do, will b,
to ratify the commands Of the bosses.
Lorenzo Lopez and Sheriff Joe LOPEZ
say they met with good deal Of success
in organizing White Cap lodges in Tao
and Rio Arriba counties, but this ma.
well be doubted The good citizens o
all political parties are keeping away from
these lawless gatherings.
The Republican delegates to the Re
publican national convention in 1888
were W. H. H. Llewellyn and Eugene
Romero. Stephen B. Elkins was mem
Der of the national committee from New
Mexico. The delegates in 1888 were I
B. Catron and j Frank Chaves, with W
L. Rynerson as member OF the nationa
committee. .
District Attorney L. G. Fort will, in al
probability, be candidate for the coun
Gil on the Republican ticket in Sal
Miguel county during the next campaign
Mr.. Fort is shrewd campaign worke
and will just about get there, if he runs
Hon. Pedro Sanches, of Taos, write
the New MEXICAN, that the territory c
New Mexico should send Harrison dele
, gates to the national Republican conven
ton. Correct, Don Pedro; your head
very level.
The White Cap leaders in San Migut
and Santa Fe counties are fiatterin
themselves that they can yield some ir
/ fuence in the coming campaign in this
Santa Fe county. They will find Whit
Capism rather dangerous pastime i
Santa Fe county. If there is any nigh
riding to de done, the deputy sheriff
will do it after the White Caps.
H. H. Pierce, now managing the La
Vegas Stock Grower, according to late n
ports, is laying wires to capture the Whit
Cap nomination of county clerk fror
Rox Hardey, who is making very fs
thing out Of it, say, $1,000, in the comm
campaign in San Miguel county. Ii
her go, Gallagher, that fight can only d
good.
Juan Jose Herrera, proprietor Of th
El Defensor del Pueblo, the White Ca
organ published in Albuquerque, is tryin
!, hard to get sufficient "spondulicks" tt
gether to pay off some of the money
$500, advanced him by the Democrat
] central committee and some Of its mem
bers in Albuquerque.
