POLITICAL.

The New Mexican has the fol.
lowing political squibs of interest
here:
Secretary Thomas, Col. ]. Frank
Chaves, S. p. McCrea and Judge J.
d. Bail are candidates for delegates
to the Republican national conven-
ton.
Lorenzo Lopez and Sheriff Joe
Lopez say they met with a good deal
Of success in organizing White Cap
lodges in Taos and Rio Arriba coun-
ties, but this may well be doubted.
The good citizens of all political par
ties are keeping. away from these
lawless gatherings.
The Republican delegates to the
Republican national convention in
1884 were w. II. II. Llewellyn and
Eugenio Romero. Stephen Il. Elk
ms was member of the national COM
mittee from New Mexico. The del
egates in 1888 were Il. b. Catron and
Frank Chaves, with w. J.. Ryner-
son as a memberof the national COM
mittee.
District Attorney l.. G. Fort will,
in all probability, be a candidate for
the council on the Republican ticket
in San Miguel county during the
next campaign. Mr.. Fort is a shrewd
campaign worker and will just about
get there, if he runs.
ii. II. Pierce, now managing the
Las Vegas Stock Grower, according
to late reports is laying wires to cap
turc the White Cap nomination of
county clerk from Rox Hardy, who
is making very fat thing out of it,
say $1,000, IN. the coming campaign
in San Miguel county. Let her go,
Gallagher; that fight can do only
good.
Juan Jose Herrera, proprietor of
Ell Defensor del Pueblo, the White
Cap organ published in Albuquerque,
is trying hard to get sufficient "spon-
dulicks" together to pay off some of
the money, $500, advanced him by
the Democratic central committee
and some of it's members in Albu-
querque.
The White Cap leaders in San
Miguel and Santa Fe counties are
hattering themselves. that they can
WELD some influence in the com
ngcampaign in this, Santa Fe county.
They will find White Capism rather
pastime in Santa Fe coun-
ty. If-there is any night riding to
be done the depaty sheriffs will do
it after the White Caps.
