SILVER Cry. Aug. 25.-Our county con
vention is over and the ticket is in tht
field. Hon. Numa Raymond, of La
Cruces, will certainly represent the Doni
Ana and Grant county district in tht
legislative council. The Democracy vii
nominate Idus L. Fielder against him, &c
am told by the bosses. D. P. Carr anC
Frank j. Wright on the Republican tickeI
for the assembly will be confronted by
Edward Hall, OF Central, and p. B. Lady
of Silver City; so it has been decreed,
understand. Mayor Fleming has the pins
get up for the sheriff's nomination and
will likely capture it on the Democratic
ticket; it will be close race between him
and Andy Lara.
Geo. W. Miles, present school superin-
tendent, will run against 7. N. Childers
for assessor, and will probably run
ahead of his ticket. The Repub.
lcan nominees for county commissioners
are good men. Walter G. Hadley should
certainly be elected He is active, bright,
well acquainted with public affairs and
would prove very valuable man in that
position, for order would he bring out of
the chaos of the Democratic corruption OF
county finances and the tax payers would
then ascertain what the county owes.
E. w. Young, present county clerk, is
to run against John A. Miller, but the
latter will be elected ; he'issaD old resilient
Of the county, is thoroughly identified
with it, has aided largely in building it
up, has been one OF its best and most pro.
gressive citizens for many years and is
fully competent tor the position. John
A. Miller will receive many Democratic
votes besides pulling the full Republican
strength.
The Republican county convention
last Tuesday here was certainly
funny in one respect; during recess OF
the convention a storm came up and thu
streets were flooded; on reassem bling
some OF the delegates found it impossible
to get back to the convention hall and a
nomination or two, that would otherwise
not have been made, was, however,
rushed through.
Hon. 7. B. Catron, from all appear
ances, will carry the county by at least
100 majority; his nomination is well
received and many Democrats will vote
for him, believing him TO be the man
whom the people need at this jnncture
and knowing him to be man of great
ability, experience and force.

GRANT COUNTY REPUBLICAN RESOLUTIONS.
The following resolutions were adopted
by the recent Grant county Republican
convention;
The Republicans of Grant county in
convention assembled here do re.affirm
their devotion to the principles OF the
national Republican party, believing that
the prosperity of the territory and the
country depends upon the continuance of
the Republican party in power; and we
condemn the efforts OF the Democratic
party to destroy two OF the leading indus
tries of New Mexico by the removal of
the tariff upon wool and lead ores.
Resolved, That while yielding loyal
allegiance to the party the Republicans of
Grant county are in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver, but can not
therefore, be drawn into iavoring the
election to the presidency of Grover
Cleveland, the most pronounced, viru-
lent and uncompromising enemy oil BIZ
metallism in America and the restoration
Of an oppressive, corrupt, extravagant
and dishonest Democratic Federal admin
istration in New Mexico.
Resolved, That New Mexico is enti-
tied to immediate admission as a state in
the Union. '1
Resolved, That the present change Of
venue law should be 30 amended as to
leave the granting of the change Of venue
to the discretion Of the Judge OF the court
the present enforced change of venue
imposing great additional expense upon
the county, litigants and witnesses, and
