The Campaign.

Only one week yet remains of
the campaign of 1892. Never has
q campaign been fought with less
demonstration or with less appar-
ent activity than the present one.
Indications of general apathy are
on every hand.
The surface of the political sea
gives no indication of what is going
on below. The national canvass
is going on quietly but it is safe to
say that never before in the his
tory of this country has there been
more real earnest work done than
has been and Is being done in this
contest. The republicans, weeks
ago, gave up all hope of breaking
the solid south and no we'll inform
ed republican has the remotest
idea that his party will carry either
New Jersey or Connecticut. The
fight will be in New York and
Indiana W ith the latter state al
most sure to go democratic. The
battle will be in New York and the
conditions there are all favorable
for decisive democratic victor y
next Tuesday. The registration
in the democratic cities in the
state is much heavier than it h as
ever been before and the leaders
in both parties agree that of the
increase in these cities the demo-
Gratis will get two votes TO the re-
publicans one as this is about the
ratio of strength Of the two parties
in these cities. There are few re-
publican cities in the state and
the gain in these is not SO large
as in the democratic cities.
In addition to the increase in
the democratic vote there is nc
hope of democratic detection lin-
gering in the breats of republicans
Tammsny is out unequivocally for
Cleveland and the Tammany ticke
in the city is the strongest which
has been nominated in New Yorl
for years. No further PROOF Of
this is needed than the fact that
the ticket was endorsed in It's en-
tirety by the New York democracy
The county democrats put another
ticket in the field but this will no
ieopardizo the prospects of elect
ing the entire Tammany ticket so
therefore, there will be no incen-
tive for Tammany to oppose Cleve
land.
OF the reported detection of ol,
soldiers in New York little is :,
be said. Republican papers al
over the country have been print
ing statements that Gen. Sickle
is opposed to Cleveland; that h
would vote for Harrison and tha
thousands Of old soldiers woul
follow his example This is on

intensely Amusing.


OF all the political documents
ever issued in all the political cam
paigns in all the history Of old
Time, the two-column letter of
Chairman Twitchell in the New
Mexican, charging Delegate Jo-
seph with the drouth in the Rio
Grande Valloy,was the most laugh
able, ridiculous, sapheaded and
jackassinine. The Sun is really
sorry that lack of space prevents
its publication in these columns,
as we'll as the comments thereon
by the chattering editor. The
mere reading of them convulses
any sensible man with laughter.
Twitchelrs letter is the subject of
joke and jibe and "joshing" on
every corner. Several old-time,
experienced campaigners and pol
iticians almost fell off their chairs
in the enforced abundance of their
ha has, when they read this now
celebrated epistle to the 'Watsons.
Some of his best republican friends
are chagrined over such n ridicu-
lous break on the part of the
chairman of their central commit
tee. The Sun, agreeing with
many people, has always regarded
Mr.. Twitchell as one of the rapid
ly rising young men of ability in
New Mexico and we are sorry to
see him give such unmistakable
evidence of unreliability and lack
of sound judgement at critical
times. Let everybody read his
letter entitled Joseph Water, "
and, considering the times and its
purpose, they will agree with us,
that it is, to say the least, rattle
Drained. Yet the soundest, shrew-
dest politician would be likely to
become groggy under the great
strain now on Chairman Twitchell
He realizes too late the mistake
he made in allowing the democrats
to put Catron on such a completely
defensive campaign. A defensive
campaign never was won by n can
dldate in the history of politics,
and realizing this fully but too
lately, chairman Twitchell is now
straining every nerve to "turn the
tables" but it can't be done. The
democrats are immensely pleased
with the complete success of their
attacks on Catron's discreditable
public record, attacks based solely
on the facts thereof, and they can't
be diverted from their set purpose
to expose the record of this man of
"brains and energy" by any coun-
ter attacks on Joseph, particularly
by such utterly ridiculous ones as
that under discussion. Joseph's
record during his seven years of
congress needs absolutely no de-
Tense. 1t speaks for itself and the
people read and approve. Mr..
Twitchell should try again-next
time in the line of good sense.
Joseph responsible for the nova
ter condition of the lower Rio
Grande valley?-hR, ha, hall!
And Mr.. Joseph was so immens-
ely tickled when he read Twitch-
ellis letter that in the immodera-
ton of his laughter he forgot him
self and let it rain all over New
Mexico during the past two days.

KILLED BY A BALL.
Sad Ending Of the Life Of Young
Fred Quinn.
MIstook an In-Shoot For an Out-Curve
and Reached Out to Mcetit.

What promised to be hotly contested
ball game last Saturday afternoon on the
Dexter street grounds, between the mines
abruptly brought to termination In the
second inning by fatal accident, the like

Cured before IN base ball game.
The Lonsdales had scored two runs I'm

the bat In the second inning and Maroney
was pitching for the Lonsdales. Fadgen
made two-baser and sent a man across
the home plate, tieing the game. Then
Fred Quinn OF the Berkeley nino stepped
to the bat and got into position.
Maroney knew he was the best batter.in
the team and he started In to outwit him
on n strike. The first ball was an out
curve and Quinn missed it, lie felt con-
ident from the way Maroncy handled
the ball that the next one was'another out
curve and he leaned slightly forward to
meet It,
AS Quinn squared himself TO meet the
ball his body faced the pitcher. He made
a sweep with his bat, but the ball, instead
of being an out-curve was an in-sboot,
and 1t came in with terrific force and
struck tho batter In the pit OF the
stomach. lie fell like log, not uttering
a single sound. He was picked up tender
ly and placed on the turf near by and a
physician sent for Immediately.
Rev. FIR. St. Arnaud, who was on visit
here and who was in the grand stand and
saw the accident, hurriedly lett his seat
and was soon kneeling beside the uncon-
scious man. The reverend father saw thai
Quinn's life blood was fast ebbing away
and he administered the last church rites
to him. Hardly had this been done when
young Quinn breathod his last, his COM
panions standing about In stupefiod
amazement. DIR. Nickerson arrived In q
few minutes and pronounced life extinct.
Medical Examiner Kelliher was sum-
moned, and after inquiring into the cir
cumstances decided that an inquest was
unnecessary, as the hitting of Quinn was
purely accidental, and he gave permission
for the removal Of the remains OF Quinn to
his parents residence at Berkeley, to
which place they were taken by Under
taker O'Neill.
Young Quinn was an exemplary young
man. He was In his 18th year and q
favorite with his companions.
Pitcher Maroney felt terribly, being
completely broken down. lie says he has
played his last gamo OF base ball.

DIED IN HER CHAIR.
Mrs. Ellen Campbell
Found Dead Today.
SHE LIVED ALL ALONE.
Death Caused by Heart Trouble Super
induced by Malaria.

Mrs. Ellen Campbell, who resided alone
in a small house on the McGinn estate
at 220 East avenue, was found dead this
morning by Chief Perry.
The deceased was an old lady about 65
year OF age who did washing for several
families, thereby earning an honest livli-
hood.
Some of the neighbors to whom she was
talking last evening were aware that she
had an engagement early this morning to
go TO some house to do washing as usual.
Not seeing her at the usual time little
boy was despatched to wake her up. This
he proceeded to do by rattling the door.
AS this brought no response he looked
in through the keyhole and ho saw the
woman sitting on chair apparently asleep
and only partially dressed. He reported
this fact to his mother, who In turn
visited the place and confirmed the state
mcnts OF the boy. II was observed that
the key was in the lock on the inside.
Accordingly the police were notified
and Chief Perry Immediately repaired
there and broke open the door. 1t was
at once discerned that the woman was
dead, but when she died could not be
determined. II was apparent, however,
that she either died last evening In the
act OF undressing or this morning while
dressing.
The latter theory was the more proba-
bly, as the bed was somewhat tossed as IL
used within short time. She probably
sank into the chair and died without re-
covering.
Chief Perry sent word for Medical Ex-
aminer Kelliher but tho latter being out
OF the city, word was sent to DIR. Garvin.
lie gave it as his opinion that tho woman
died from heart trouble superinduced by
an aggravated attack OF malaria.
1t Is not known that the deceased had
any relatives here, but brother Ia at
LOCUS, Me-, and word was sent to him by
Chief Perry.
