Silver City gentlemen, Lawyers I. F.
Conway and II. L. Picset.
Serapio Romero az delegate from
Mora cast his vote with neatneSs and DIS
patch. He thinks he might have done
better had he bad more votes
Dick Hudson, the genial host of the
Thinner house, looked happy and stun
ming IN his new spring SUIT and high hat
and he voted rs often rs he got chance
L. K. Whtmore, of the Rio Grande
Republican, made handsome and com.
petent temporary secretary. He handles
business well and looks like Il millionaire
Hon. 7. b. Catron heads the delegation
and in all likelihood will represent New
Mexico on the national committee during
the next four years. No further remarks
are necessary.
Hon. T. b. Buns cast the ten votes oi
Rio Arriba with dignity and Impressive
ness. lie was ably assisted by Mr.
Broad these two delegates made very
handsome pair.
Messrs. Carruth and McDougal, oI
San Miguel, stood out boldly for tiiIli
Otero and got there. The Iatters ell, ctlon
is high honor for young man aGd he
may well be proud.
Col. w. L. RynersOD, much to the
satisfaction Of his many friends demon
strated durng the debates in the conven-
ton, that "Richard is himself again
Congratulations, colonel.
W. S. Williams as chairman of tue So.
corro delegation, looked as wise rs Solo,
mon and cast the vote Of that dele 1ation
in highly impressive manner as be-
comes man Sky years OF age
Tom Hughes, editor OF that able and
frst-cIass paper, the Albuquerque Citizen,
could not boss the convention, but he
bossed all the newspaper men there,
which is glory enough for one man.
Willie s. Prayer and Alonzo Lucky rep
wisely; one voted on one side and the
other on the other, so whichever side
won, they we're fright side up with care" d"
Tom ]. Walton, mine host OF the Walton
house at Mora, stood up soidly every
time, and the four votes of Mora counted.
Mr.. Walton said che was for Tom
Catron, and did not care who knew it,"
Delegate Jose Julio Vigil, from Taos
county, upon gancing around the conven-
ton hall, said to himself il choice Cas-
lillian: How happy could [ be with
either. were tn other fair Charmer away"
Reeder said he thought lie knew some
thing about politics, having lived in In
diana and Kansas, but he found lie was
like "a babe in the woods" in sunny
Nam tn
matters.
Ex-Delegate Tranquiino Luna, as chair.
man OF the Valencia county delegation,
was highly complimented on all sides.
His friends all over the territory are
numerous and increasing His popularity
is well deserved.
AS presiding officer, Col. j. Frank Cha
yes, from the banner Republican county
OF New Mexico, has few equals and no
superiors His ability and fairness are
fully conceded. The colonel also stands
by his friends through thick and thin.
The Sierra delegation worked hard and
successfully for Hon. Nicholas GALES
The latter is delegate. He is a mighty
good man for the position and an old and
valued friend of this journal. That's
about as much as is necessary to be said
OF any one man.
The fellow that can get away with
Charley Hunt in political convention
must stir around early; smooth, suave,
managed to get away with him--probably
because they are both OF 80 decidedly
blonde complexion.
Under the able leadership OF Hon. NJ.
s. Otero the fourteen Bernallllo County
votes were solid as phalanx. This is
the remark made about the Mr.. Otero by
the Silver City Enterprise Hon Ma
riano Otero, an Apollo of intellect, was at
the head of the Bernalillo deleg cation"
County Commissioner and Editor Col
ler made ss good fight as he knew how
and voted his four proxies with the air OF
graDde, but it was no go, this time.
Golfers dry humor at times was simply
terrific and shook the rock-ribbed silver
hills of Grant to their foundations on sew
eral occasions.
Hon. James II. Reeder, clerk OF the U.
8. land court, says he would like to be
abducted, but only by some fair New
Mexico damse. The Hon. James knows
thing or two, when he prefers New
Mexico damsel to q towheaded, big
footed Kansas girl
Hon. E. S. Slower, OF Bernalillo county,
is right good man in every way and can
be depended upon in an emergency. He
is still very fond of the Reed rules of the
5lst congress and justly 20, although that
previous question business, it must be
acknowledged, was bit hard on him for
few minutes.
Joe Saint, mayor OF Albuquerque, says
he is bound to have the capital at Albu-
querque anyway, but that Tom Catron
must be downed before the capital can
be taken from Santa Fe. He will try
again the coming session. The oftener
he tries, the more experience he will
gain. Experience is mighty good thing
in this life.
Editor Leonard, OF the Enterprise,
could not be induced to accept the posi-
ton of secretary OF the convention; he
said he was too busy looking after his
babies and, looking handsome, 80 the next
best man, ex-Sherif A. B. Laird, was Sc.
lected, and by manv it is thought be
looked even handsomer than Editor Leon
ard. Hard to tell.
Hon. T. B. Catron on yesterday re-
ceived the following, which needs no ex.
