speech to the Spanish speaking people
he claimed to be u native of the territory
and an hijO del pals, and paisano OF
this country, and appealed to them tC
support him for that reason; charged
Catron with being anti Mexican and
treating Mexicans with brutqlity when
they entered his office, and alleged that
he was poor Mexican, both by birth
and nationality. Mr. Catron charged that
Mr. Joseph was neither a Mexican By
birth or by descent; that his father was
Portuguese and his mother had come
from 81. Louis, Mo. That neither OF
them possessed a drop Of Spanish or
Mexican blood in their veins That Mr.
Joseph himself was not born in the terri
tory of New Mexico, but was born in
Kansas or Colorado. That furthermore
his name was not even Antonio Joseph
but that he had changed it several times
in his eventful career. That on his
fathers tombstone in Taos county
are the words, Pedro Jose de
Tevis,' which was his proper name;
BUT THAT MR.. "JOsEpH'
had seen fit to disregard that, and had
called himself, first, in broad English,
Anthony Joseph" That, after his first
election, he thought it might be well to
tickle the Spanish speaking people of
the territory somewhat, and 80 he changed
his name again to "Antonio Joseph"
The audience listened with surprise to
these revelations, and were apparently
disgusted with the practices of Mr. Jo-
seph in these matters.
Upon closing, Mr.. Catron was loudly
applauded. From all appearances he is
in excellent favor with the people here,
and will receive the lions share of the
vote of Dona Ana county in November.
At the close of Mr.. Catron's remarks,
Mr. Morrison was introduced. Owing to
his acquaintance with the people from
having served well and faithfully as
United States marshal, he was rec
ognized at once and greeted with
enthusiastic applause. He delivered
an excellent address in his usual happy
style. Mr.. Joseph's various attempts to
discourse upon the tariff question re-
ceived some attention at Mr.. Morrison's
hands, and it did not take long to satisfy
his hearers that Mr.. Joseph's main stock

which he dealt out with a method that
showed his
DENSE IGNORANCE On THE SUBJECT.
Mr. Morrison spoke ably on the sub
ject of the wool tariff and set forth the
benefits received by this territory there
from. As to the Temescal tin story which
Mr.. Joseph has so widely circulated, he
produced and read the telegram from Mr.
Carter of the national committee, deny
ing that the Republican management
had anything to do with that mine His
remarks were well received and he was
heartily applauded during his address.
Mr.. Ancheta followed Mr.. Morrison,
speaking in the Spanish language, and
made one of the able and convincing
speeches for which he has already wide
reputation. He exposed various mis-
deeds and Misrepresentation of the Dem |
ocratic bosses and managers; asserted |
that two years ago, when he was elected |
senator from this district, they had at
to kidnap him into Mexico, in
order to secure the control of the council. |
That, failing in this, it had happened |
that one night, during a session of the |
Judiciary committee of the council, he |
and the other Republican members had
been present, but that only one Democrat |
had appeared, and had excused himself |
and departed that on this occasion Mr..
Chas. H. Gildersleeve, who had an ap-
pointment to meet this committee,
WAS UNAccOUNTABLY ABSENT;
and that,.wh all the Republican mem
bers were in session. two shots had been
fired in their midst with murderous in
tent, and that he had been struck and
injured by them; that on that
night and the next day his friends had
without avail sought the sheriff of the
county, who was Democrat, and his de-
puties; who were all Democrats; but that
they were not to be found. Mr.. Ancheta
said it had been attempted by irrespon-
sible Democratic politicians to induce
him to condemn Mr.. Catron for this out
rage; but that he could not believe that
Mr.. Catron ever had anything to do with
it; that he was far more inclined to be-
lieve that the attempt at his assassination
was Democratic plot from beginning to
end Mr.. Ancheta stated that never in
his life had he stated to Mr.. A. B. Fall or
to Mr.. Boone or anybody else that he be-
lieved the Republican candidate for dele
gate was connected with that shooting in
any way, except as one Of the parties
shot at; that he had been surrounded with
Democratic politicians who tried to con-
vince him that the Hon. I. B. Catron had
instigated the shooting, and that he had
replied to them that if they would bring
two reliable witnesses, or even one. to
swear that that was true, he would make a
Q very effort to defeat Mr.. Catron in the
race for delegate. But that they had
NEVER PRODUCED ANY WITNESS,
had never brought forth any affidavit and
had never verified their statements in
any way; and he now believes that they
made them maliciously and without
merely i'll order to bring
about coldness between Mr.. Catron and
himself, and that he is satisfied that their
were entirely false and un-
true. Mr.. Ancheta's remarks on these
matters we're strongly delivered and were
listened to with close attention. He was
interrupted with applause.
The three speakers made an excellent
upon the people of Dona Ana
county and from the enthusiasm appar-
ent at this meeting it is with confidence
that the Republican managers of Dona
Ana county look forward to the election
on November 8, when they declare their
county will swing into line with several
hundred majority for Catron and prog
ress.
