carry torches, there will be couple
Of hundred horse-men in line, represent

Several brass bands and the drum corps
will supply the music, and the chances

Jose Padila.
Precinct No Tn front of the capitol,

Isr, CatrOn's up Country Trip.
Solicitor General L. l.. Bartlett, who re-
turned from Rio Arriba county last night,
said the Republican meeting at TERRA
Amarillo was one of the largest and most
enthusiastic gathering of voters ever held
in northern New Mexico. There were
| fully GOO voters present, very many OF
| them settlers on the TERRA Amarillo
grant. Messrs. Catron and Ancheta made
| able speeches. The former referred to
the scandals started by Joseph and the
| Democrats and asked his hearers if they
were dissatisfied or had any complaint to
make respecting his treatment of them as
residents Of the grant, or if they knew OF
any Of their neighbors who had made
com plants. The answer was prompt and
Of one accord -"Now
Gen. Bartlett says Rio Arriba citizens
are working with will for the Repub-
lican nominee and the opinion of the
most conservative is that the county will
give about 500 majority for Catron, the
Republican legislative and county ticket
1t was showing when Messrs. Catron and
Ancheta left Chama on Tuesday for trip
through Taos county in buggy, and six
to eight inches Of snow covers that whole
region, but Mr.. Catron didn't seem to
mind little thing like this. He was in
the best of good spirits and evidently
feels certain that New Mexico will vote
| all right on Tuesday next. Mr.. Catron
will be at Taos to-day and will probably
return to Santa Fe on the narrow gauge
train tomorrow evening.
Convict Coal Miners.
The question of legislation in favor of
convict labor is becoming an important
Issue in the present campaign as was
demonstrated at political meeting at
Los Cerrillos on Saturday night last at
which joint discussion was had between
N B, Laughlin, Esq Democratic candi-
date for the council from Santa Fe
county, and Hon. R. E. Twitchell. All
went serene with Mr.. Laughlin till his
antagonist sprung the record of the
Ross-Laughlin combination in the legis-
ative session of 1887 wherein they sue
ceeded in passing crippled bill provid-
ing for the purchase of coal lands by the
territory and the employment of the peni-
Tertiary convicts therein, when the au-
dience Immediately demonstrated to Mr..
Luughlin that he must seek greener fields
for gullible voters. But when Mr.
Twitchell went further and produced the
bill introduced by Anthony Joseph in
congress for the purpose of curing the
defects of this convict labor bill, and to
make it effective, it was then that the au-
dience gave expression to their indigna-
ton at such downright treachery to the
miners, whose support they have now the
unblushing temerity to ask at the polls in
the coming election. Mr.. Laughlin imme-
diately took the back track for Santa Fe
to consult with Secretary Gable as how
they might meet this their direst dilemma,
and if possible explain to the miners that
Mr.. Catron made them do it.-Albuquer-
que Citizen.
