for Joseph" and Free Lead.

Some 300 citizens accompanied by
! band of music assembled at the SocorrC
depot on Monday morning at o'clock tt
greet and welcome Mr.. Catron ant
Judge Morrison to that city. Unfortu
nately the train was several hours late
but at 80 p. M, when the train arrived the
platform was packed with people and as
Messrs. Catron and Morrison stepped
from the cars they were surrounded on
every side by enthusiastic friends. and the
warm Misunderstanding and beaming faces
showed that Socorro's heart is in the
right place. A long procession headed
by the American flag and the band was
formed: about 500 men and thirty car
riages fell into line and escorted the
speakers to their hotel. An informal
meeting was called on the street and an
address of welcome to Mr.. Catron was
made by Hon. j. S. Sniffen, one of the
leading Democrats of the city, amidst the
warmst demonstrations of approval on
the part of all the people. From the
moment Mr.. Catron finished dinner to the
hour of the evenings meeting he was
kept busy receiving troops of men many
OF whom had come from twenty to forty
miles to consult with the Republican
standard-bearer and formulate means for
perfecting the organization of the Repub-
lican forces in this county.
THE RESULTS OF THESE coNFERENoEs
we're cheering in the highest degree, and
when the men from the mountains turned
their faces homeward to continue the good
work all felt that victory was assured
if the same energy and determination
which marks the present progress is kept
up to the end.
At 7 p. IN. the court house contained
about 600 ladies and gentlemen. and fully
as many packed the stairs and corridors
unable to get even standing room in the
spacious auditorium. The chair was taken
by Major Luis NJ. Baca. and when Mr..
Catron was introduced such scene of
chouCu 40 illuSt nave convinced
tho Democrats that the star of Joseph is
rapidly on the wane. Mr.. Catron spoke
about an hour and half and though his
of Joseph's numerous mendaci-
ties was digniied and gentlemanly his
exposure of the filthy billingsgate in
which the Democratic leader has INDUCED
since the beginning of the campaign was
such as to convince any honest man that
JOSEPH AND vERAcITY
nave parted company permanently.
Judge Morrison devoted his time to Jo-
'eph's wool and lead ore record, and tho
Meeting adjourned amid loud cheers for
Jatron and the whole ticket.
AT MAGDALENA AND KELLY.
Messrs Catron and Morrison left So
orro at a. m. and arrived at Magdalena
t 8. A meeting was held at midday, at |
which Mr.. Catron spoke on the Demo
ratio policy of free lead ore and the anti
lien law TO large audience which evinced
he greatest interest in his address. 1t
,oes without saying that the Socorro
'hieftain Williams was ubiquitous and is
n high glee over the prospects of the
ampaign. The meeting at Kelly was at
ended by the whole town and could not
ave been more satisfactory in any re-
pect. The Republican vote here
7ill be almost solid; there will
ot be more than half a dozen
otes against Mr.. Catron. They know all
bout Cleveland's free lead ore ruling and
IcKinley's protection, and the following
1uti OF H., Ill
hey regard both and also how they feel
bout the candidates:
THE MINERS SPEAK OUT.
Resolved, That we, the lead miners of
ELY, N. NJ, in mass meeting assembled,
ereby declare that the ruling of Mr..
levelands administration which ad-
lifted the lead ores of Old Mexico free of
uty and endeavored to degrade us to the
w level of Mexican poems, was ruinou.
D the interests of employees and en-
loyers alike.
Resolved, That the Mckinley tariff
Nv, by shutting out said ores and open
ng our markets to ourselves restored i'm
lediately to this locality all of its former
and secured to US living wages
Or our labor.
Resolved, That we emphatically con
emn the non-American action of the
Democratic majority in the house of re-
resentatives in placing foreign lead ores
n the free list and that we will oppose
v every means in our power the re-
lection of Antonio Joseph who permitted t
aid action to be taken without making a I
ingle effort in behalf of our industry.
Resolved, That we recognize in the
Ion. T. B. Catron man who is thorough {
7 in sympathy with American labor and :
ho will devote his time and talent to the {
rejection of American interests from |
chasing competition with the pauper /
aid labor of the world, and we hereby I
ledge ourselves to give him our best I
lpport inYthe coming election. p, II
