The Grant county Democratic conyen-
ton assemblies at Silver City this after
noon and red hot fight is in prospect.
There are three candidates for the
sheriff nomination-Gill of Silver
City; Moore of Deming, and Upton, of
the Mimbres. According to the election
of the delegates at the primaries last
Saturday evening, each candidate will &c
into the convention with almost an equal
following. Gillett is the candidate OF
what is known as the "Silyer City ring,
political combine which has exerted @
strong influence upon the politics of the
county for years, and its leaders are leav
ing no stone unturned to nominate him
Moore is supposed to represent the Dem
ing Lindauer-F Florida county faction. 1t
is stated openly that the edict has been
issued from the headquarters Of the 'ring'
that unless Gillett is the nominee the
November election will result in
the victory of a Republican can,
didate. The other fellows are equally as
determined. This has naturally excited
the candidates to strenuous efforts, and
rent every hour. The candidates for the
offices of probate clerk, assessor, probate
judge and minor positions are taking a
hand in the battle, and delegations are
being divided in the most startling man
ner. There will be warm fight and it is
simply impossible to offer an opinion as
to the successful ticket.

The manner in which Juan Jose Herrera
made his exit from the court house last
night, after raising a disturbance in the

he was not in his crowd, and that safety
for him depended on quick action. The
bossing business is not so popular as it
was two years ago.-Las Vegas Free
Press.
