REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL.
The Republican County Convention
Selects Ten Delegates to
Las Vegas.

The Republican county convention was
called to order at the court house at 2 p.
m. pursuant to call, by Hon. T. B. Cat
ron, chairman of the county committee.
Mr.. Facundo Pine acting as interpreter.
In calling the convention to order Mr..
Catron stated that in the coming election
more important questions were at stake
than at any election heretofore held in
New Mexico. There was the most i'm
portant question of statehood, which he
concisely, but eloquently and fully ex-
planned. There was the injustice OF the
alien act which worked great hardship
on the people of New Mexico and re-
tsrded the growth and advancement Of
New Mexico. He dwet upon the fact
that the people Of New Mexico were justly
entitled to statehood and selfgovernment.
The Republican party was more favor
able to New Mexico aud her claims than
the Democratic party. If the Republic
cans carried the coming elections here
there would be an enabling act passed,
and New Mexico, in the speakers opin-
ion, would be a sovereign state within the
coming six months; would elect its own
officers and become a self-governing
commonwealth.

nent chairman.
