POLITICAL NOTES OF THE DAY.


tia and Mr.. Julian Provencio. The
speeches were attentively listened to and
did much good for the Republican ticket.
A joint Republican and Democratic
meeting was held Saturday at San Pedro;
N. B. Laughlin appeared for the Demo-
cratic ticket as principal speaker and
Hon. r. L. rwitchell took the side of the
Republicans. Laughlin, as usual charged
Mr.. Catron and the Republicans with
everything that is bad under the sun.
However, he failed to mention the large
fees he had received from the county for
fighting county bonds, hich suits
were lost in the courts. He also failed
to say anything about the fearful assas-
sination of Faustin Ortiz, in the Jail
building, in this city, on March l, 1890,
that Democratic gang secrets might not
be given away, and he failed to say any
thing about the ballot box stolen by the
gang from the custody of the clerk of the
county, Marcelino Garcia, from the vaults
in the court house; but he did give the
other side and specially Catron, who has
done more in day for Santa Fe than
Laughlin has in ten years, particular
fits. Mr.. Twitchell made very strong and
forcible address disproving every charge
and showing the Democratic ticket in
this county up in its true light. The
meeting was a success from Republican
standpoint and made votes for the Re-
publican ticket.
One feature of N. B. Laughlin's address
deserves special mention. He took occa-
sion to assault the Santa Fe public school
system in the most vicious terms, ridi-
culing the city school board. He said
there were eight teachers employed in the
Santa Fe public schools and that there
were but eighty pupils in attendance.
CatrOn at santa Cruz.
About 200 horsemen met Hons. 7. B.
Catron and j. A. Ancheta at Espanola on
Saturday, on the arrival of the narrow
gauge train. In the midst of the greatest
enthusiasm the party was escorted to
Santa Cruz where some $50 voters listened
to the speeches and cheered Justify. At 3
o'clock in the afternoon Messrs. Catron
and Ancheta took a wagon and started for
Abiquiu where they spoke on Saturday
ulSlt' IllC IAN WAC 'pul my do"I III
torrents when they left Santa Cruz. From
Abiquiu they went overland to TERRA
Amarillo, where they are to-day, and to-
night will witness there the largest
political meeting ever held in Rio Arriba
county.
In Grant County.
Governor Prince and Solicitor General
Bartlett have just returned from Grant
county and they give very hattering re-
ports of the outlook there for Republican
success. Their meetings at Deming and
Silver City were highly successful, despite
the steady rain. From Silver City Gen.
Bartlett went over to Central and was met
by the 9th U. S. infantry band and es-
corted into town by several hundred peo-
pie. A political meeting followed, and
torchlight procession was one of the fea |
lures of the evening.
Gen. Bartlett reached Santa Fe last |
night and at 8 o'clock this morning took |
the narrow gauge for TERRA Amarillo to
represent the territory before the district
court there in session.
The Registration.
The registration of voters closed on
Saturday and the lists are coming into
the clerks Office to-day, although it is not
likely that returns from all precincts
will be in before tomorrow afternoon.
The registration in the four precincts
covering Santa Fe is as follows:
Precinct No. Observation-Disclosures. 475
Precinct No. 4.................. 1923
Precinct No. ........,..,.... POI
Precinct No. Observation-Disclosures. 307
Total ......,.....,..,... 1896
This shows an increase of 178 over the
total vote of two years ago.
In the Cerrillos precinct the registra-
ton is 1856. Some of the Democratic
down there had paid poll
tax for 290 voters, but many of them were
new corners and failed to show up when
it came down to the question of registra
ton where the law makes it penalty for
only qualified voters to apply for regis
tration.
There is small change in other pre-
cincts over two years ago.
Aqua Fria registers $50, or two more
than voted two years ago. Pojoaque
registers 1872, nine less than two years
ago; Dolores registers twelve voters;
Glorieta As voters, while San Pedro's
registration POS.
Political Pointers.
N. B. Laughlin's assault at San Pedro
on the Santa Fe city school system will
cost him numerous votes,
Mr.. Joseph is making long jumps in
his frantic efforts to keep up with the
nominee. He jumped yes
terday all the way from Dona Ana to Mora
county and is at Watrous tonight.
Thence he will probably go through
Mora county and cross the Taos noun
tains to his home at Ole Caliente.
1t never seems to occur to the Hon. An
tonic when he is expiating on the numer-
our bills he claims to have passed in con-
gress, to mention the assistance he may
have received from Others. Like the
octogenarian who was the putative father
of twins, he claims all the credit himself.
Rio Grande Republican.
Mr.. Joseph is now trying to sell his Ojo
Caliente property for the taxes he has
paid upon it since he owned it. He offers
it for sale every place he visits, He will
probably offer it for sale on the plaza in
this city tonight The Democratic ter
ritorial committee must be crowding him
for funds.-Rio Grande Republican,
