| CONVENTION ECHOES.
Hon. T. B. Catron came home from Las
Vegas this morning, and despite his all
night journey was at his Office bright and
early, up to his eyes in business, as usual.
Hons. Juan Santistevan and Pedro
Sanchez, delegates from Tsos county, got
in from Las Vegas this morning. They
are much pleased with the work Of the
convention.
They do say that Santa Feans cheered
Yesterday when Mr.. Catron was nomi-
mated. The crowd went wild and for
FIVE minutes the chairman was unable To
! restore order,
Ramon Sanchez, scho oil superintendent
OF Taos county, and one of the delegates
returning home from the convention said
the Democratic county Of Taos is safe for
Catron by 200 majority.
The Santa Fe delegation which went on
the excursion to Las Vegas yesterday re-
turned home this morning in fine spirits
despite the fact that it required six hours
to make the return trip.
The reelection Of Hons. Ralph E,
Twitcheil and L. A. Hughes as chairman
and secretary Of the Republican central
committee was a deserved compliment
worthily bestowed. They are workers.
Aside from those noted above the fol
lowing named made speeches seconding
the nomination Of Mr.. Catron B. M. Read
Of Santa Fe; Alex. Read, of Rio Arriba
and s. M. Alexander, of Sierra county.
