Office Seeker Notes.

The New Mexico Democracy INDUCED
III verltable love feast at Democratic
territorial headquarters last night. Some
forty of the party leaders were on
hand. Delegate Joseph came in from his
home at Ojo Caliente via the narrow
gauge early in the evening and commit
tee was at the depot to greet him and es-
cort him to the committee rooms. This
reception committee consisted of Messrs.
L. A. Grunsfeld, of Albuquerque, A. L.
Branch, of Mora and j. W, Fleming, of
Silver City. Mr.. Joseph's greeting was a
very cordial one, of course.
The conference that followed lasted
until near midnight Statehood was the
chief topic discussed and it was the unani-
nous sentiment of the party leaders pres
ent that Delegate Joseph should, upon
reaching Washington, resume his original
line of action and leave nothing undone
calculated to advance the statehood move
meut. Mr. Joseph and many delegates
said that it was extremely doubtful If the
senate would take favorable action on
the pending bill, but some thought that,
i'll view of the certainty of New Mexicos
admission by the SD congress, possibly
some favorable action from the present
senate could be lookt d for. Mr.. Joseph,
however, has made up his mind to OPP
pose in the house one of the senate
amendments to the pending bill, said
amendment referring to the public schools
of the state of New Mexico being con
Quoted in the English language" Mr..
Joseph thinks such schools should teach
both English and Spanish.
Felix Martinez brought up the ques-
ton of trying to secure some unanimity
of action between the Democratic and
Republican central committees on the
statehood movement, and it was agreed
that the Democratic committeeman should
take the initiative in endeavoring to
reach some harmonious understanding.
HERE AND THERE.
j. NJ. Mathews, of Ration, is candidate
for the postotlice in that town under Gro
yer Cleveland.
1t is pretty well settled that E. A. Gruns-
field is to have the postoffice at Albuquer-
que. The junta has so decreed.
Col. T. B. Mills, of Las Vegas, is so far
the prime mover in the attempt that may
be made for the removal of the capital.
They say that L. Fisher, the curio man,
is pulling several strings for appointment
as postmaster at Las Vegas hot springs.
The Democratic bosses appear to be
against recognizing the claims of Col.
Albright. He will be compelled to mash
several of them in the cramble.-Albu-
querque Citizen.
The Silver City Sentinel has undertaken
the task of removing the capital from
Santa Fe to Albuquerque. 1t is scarcely
probable that its efforts will be crowned
with success.-Deming Correspondence
FL Paso Times.
If You watch you will see that Frank A.
Hubbell will be the lea Ter of the Repub-
licans in the territorial council. He has
the ability and is every way qualified to
make a good Legislative record.-Albu-
querque Citizen.
The Democrats are very much opposed
to Col. Chaves being president of the ter
ritorial council. He will have seven votes,
a majority, and will fill the position to
the entire satisfaction of the Republicans.
Albuquerque Citizen.
1t is said that the Grant county COM
missioners have discovered that the law
only allows members of the boards of
registration So for the six days, instead
of SO per day. This new law will save
the county $l,125, but it is hardship on
the registrars, and if the law is not
changed it will be impossible to get regis
trars in this county again at so cents per
day.
