WATRoUs, Sept. 27.-The Republican
meeting at Springer on Saturday last was
one of the best possible. Over 500 people,
among them fifty or more ladies, were
present, and the meeting did not adjourn
until after II o'clock at night.
Mr.. Catron addressed the meeting in
both English and Spanish, and paid his
respects to Antonio Joseph in no uncer-
tain language; he made many telling and
good hits that were fully appreciated by
the audience and greeted with loud
laughter and applause.
Judge Morrison spoke on reciprocity
and free trade and the effect free trade
would have on New Mexico industries,
and the ruin that would follow in this ter
ritory should free trade in wool, lead ore
and fruits be the rule. The meeting and
the speeches were productive of good re-
suits both to the Republican territorial
ticket and the Republican county ticket
of Colfax county, and it is asserted that
the Republican vote in this section of
Colfax will be increased fully 25 per cent.
GRAND OVATION AT ooATE.
On Sunday morning the party started
in a carriage for the pleasant town of
Ocate About two miles from town the
party was met by procession of 200
mounted men and thirty buggies, contain
ing ladies. The procession opened order
and Mr.. Catron's carriage was driven
through the lines amongst loud hurrahs
Then the men crowded around the car.
rage shaking hands and assuring Mr.
Catron of large vote in that part OF
Mora county. Then, headed by the vii
lage band, the party proceeded to Ocate
where, under the auspices of Messrs. Girls
tobal Sanchez and Saul Padilla, rousing
meeting was held that was attended by
nearly 1000 people. Mr.. Catron spoke
in the Spanish language for over two
hours, making very forcible and elo
quent speech. The hall was crowded tt
suffocation and every few minutes cheer:
and hurrahs encouraged the speaker.
Judge Morrison followd in a speech OF
the wool and sheep raising interests O.
New Mexico and held the audience spell
bound; he convinced his hearers fully
that the Democratic policy and the &C
tons of the Democratic congress of which
Joseph was member would certainly
make them paupers and take away theil
means of making living; as nearly every
man in this section owns sheep or is con
nected with the business, Judge Morri
sons speech was most timely and bene
fetal one.
Should Joseph ever come here and at
tempt to tell his little fctions and preva
relations and abuse Mr.. Catron he viii
find the ground fully gone over, planted
and narrowed and his vocation gone; hi!
fibs will take no longer in this com
munity.
Mr.. Catron also explained to the peopl,
present his connection with the Mora lane
grant and proved to them conclusivel,
that many years ago and ever since he a.
one of the attorneys and interested in tn
grant had insisted that the rights of al
settlers thereon must and should b.
! respected and had compelled other owner
to abide by his views. He had the docu
ments to prove this and did so fully an,
to the satisfaction of his hearers,
The trip of Messrs. Catron and Morri
J son so far has been q continued ovation
and the reception of the party at ever,
place visited has been marked by grea
courtesy and enthusiasm on the part o
p the people. 1t is the first time in tn
, history of the territory that candidat
for congressional honors is making
thorough canvass and showing the peopl
that he knows them, the territory, it
wants and needs, and the plan is certainl
telling.
a Joseph may paddle along after Nj
:, Catron and prevaricate and endeavor t
i, smirch character and that sort of bus
! ness, but the people of New Mexico hav
. learned much in the past eight years an
Mr.. Joseph's plan will work no longer.
