showed Laughlin's conduct and reputation |
up in their true colors and proved con-
clusively that Laughlin was not to be

Republicans are gaining daily in the
northern precincts in this county.
Antonio Joseph and c. F. Easily held a
political meeting at Galisteo, in this
county, last Wednesday; by actual count
there were twenty-three persons present,
four of whom were Republicans. The
usual rigmarole of what Joseph had done
in congress, how many hundreds of thou
sands of dollars he had gotten for the
people and how he had appropriated all
the public lands for school purposes was
rected and then Catron came in for the
usual share of abuse. Easley gave it to
Messrs. Catron and Frost in grand style
and told the people how he loved them,
but failed to say that he did not oppose
the cutting down of the appropriation
for the maintenance of the capitol here
and that he generally neglected his duty
and probably did worse when the interests
of Santa Fe were concerned in the house
of the last assembly.
san Miguel County Politics.
Intimidation, positively as bad as ever
disgraced the south, in the days of kuklux-
ism, is being practiced, right under our
eyes, in San Miguel county, to-day, by the
rowdy element of the so-called Peoples
party.
Each campaigning outfit, consisting of
teams, wagons, speakers, musicians, cour-
iers on horseback, refreshments" ETC.,
ETC., costs the parties about $50 day.
The Republicans have five electioneering
squads in the field, at an expense of $3.50
a day.
1t is stated by reliable citizens, to-day,
that Vidal Trujillo, at the upper town,
was called out of his house. last night,
and badly beaten, simply because he had
the courage of his convictions in an
nouncing himself Republican-frst,
last and all the time.
The paragraph below from the Las
Vegas Free Press shows what appoint
ments the Democratic White Cap sheriff
of San Miguel county is making: "The
appointment of Procopio Rael as police
man is causing considerable comment in
the old town, he having stolen some cattle
from one of the Romero's on Sunday and
was handed the star and pistol on
Monday"
Tony Cahal, who is whole campaign
within himself telephoned from Sapello,
to-day, that his party of Republican cam
paigners would enthuse the people at San
Ignacio tonight. This squad has visited
Canoncito, Rociada, Penasco Blanco, at
some of the points meeting speakers of
the Peoples party, SO called, in joint
debate at other points, the opposition
put their tails between their legs, so to
speak, and skulked away, not being able
to cope with the arguments hurled
against them. In one precinct, when the
opposition withdrew from the meeting,
only eight persons left the room; at
another, only six! And SO it is all over
the country. 'Rah for the Republicans

during the week. The same old refrain
; no argument and no principles. Nothing
but personal, dirty abuse and lies about
