Hon. T. b. Catron, Hon. A. l.. Morrison
and Hon. j. A. Ancheta. The coming of
these prominent gentlemen was announced
in the usual way, and the citizens of this
booming mining camp of the southwest
took steps to receive them in a royal
manner. Upon the approach of the dis
party salute was fired. The
streets were thronged with people, anx-
ious to become acquainted with and to
greet the Hon. Thos. B, Catron, our next
delegate to congress. A large platform
mad been erected near the court house, as
the old court house was not large enough
to accommodate the crowd. The meet
ing was called to order, and Silas Alex
lnder, esq, acted as chairman. He in
few brief remarks advised the audience
of the manner in which the Hon. 7. B.
Catron was selected as the standard
bearer of the Republican party by the
conventions; assured the
people that instead of Mr.. Catron being
the bulldozer as represented by the Dem
ocratic speakers and papers, he, Catron,
was bulldozed by his party into
ACCEPTING THE NOMINATION.
Mr.. Catron when introduced was greeted
by prolonged cheering by more than
$50 people and held an audience standing
for more than an hour speaking in En-
glish, after which he addressed the assem-
bly, in the Spanish language, amidst con-
slant applause. Mr.. Catron's address
both in English and Spanish was one of
the most respectful and argumentative
political speeches that has ever been
made in any campaign, and received marked
indicating thinking element
that could not have been more respectful.
Mr.. Catron stated his position clearly
before the people and argued the propo-
sitions which interests US most in a man
ner that carried conviction, and he
made the comparison between Mr.. Jo-
seph and himself, and placed the cold
facts in unmistakable terms to his hear
ers as to the manner in which Mr.. Joseph
was conducting his campaign of
UNwARRANTED ABUSE
against Mr.. Catron. He left the case in
their hands as jurors to determine from
the evidence which of the two candidates
was best calculated to serve the interests
of the people of the territory of New Mex
leo, and whose verdict upon the question
will be returned together with the other
voters of Sierra county by giving Mr.
Catron at least $50 majority at the COM
ing election.
HON. A. L. MORRISON.
was then introduced and made few we'll
timed remarks and in a forcible way
handled the tariff question
Hon. j. A. Ancheta was then introduced
and in his accustomed manner made an
enthusiastic speech both in English and
urging the election of the Hon. Thos. B
Catron as the person who could render us
the greatest and best service in congress
after which the meeting adjourned.
At Kingston.
Special Correspondence of the New Mexican.
KINGSTON, Oct. S.-Messrs. Catron, Nor.
rison and Ancheta left here this morning
for Grant county. We sent them out OF
Sierra county with the feeling that the
visit has been of great benefit to the Re.
publican party and the Republican candi,
dates. Judge Morrison stated this morn.
ing that so far their meetings had been
lot tho, +bn L..
the Kingston meeting had been mag
nificent success.
At that meeting Col. Geo. W. Gregg
presided as chairman of the Republican
county committee; Mr.. Catron and party
were met by large procession near town
escorted to the hotel and thence to the
church where the meeting was held. A
torchlight procession and drum and fife
corps led the van.
The church was crowded to its utmost
fully 300 people being in attendance; the
platform was filled with flowers and a
choir OF eight voices was present and
sang patriotic selections.
Mr.. Catron was happily introduced and
made powerful and convincing speech
for an hour and quarter and was then
followed by Judge Morrison, who spoke
for an hour and a half in his very hap
piest mood both speakers treated the
questions at issue and before the. people
at length and to the great advantage of
the Republican party.
Thereafter the speakers were introduced
to the ladies and the audience and tom
Catron" got such handshaking as he has
not yet had anywheres. Specially were
all the ladies anxious to see him and
speak to him. The fair sex in this sec
ton are for Catron and "forninst" Jo-
seph, and it is always good thing to have
the ladies on ones side.
thorough canvass of the 900 votes in
this county shows that the Republican
ticket will be successful and Tom Cat
ron" will received majority of the votes
cast Col. Geo. W. Gregg as chairman of
the county committee, is doing magniti-
cent work and the campaign is thorough
ly organized and being prosecuted. AS
soon as Joseph gets into the county and
speaks, Republican speakers will follow
him and show up his shortcomings, and
catch him at his lies and fabrications and
convince the people that he is not the
proper man to be voted for.
Put Sierra down for Catron and the
Republican county ticket.
