| tlOn, IN In6 event OF tnelr election, TO
present to that body law for the crea-
ton of the national guard, or for the or
ganization of the militia of the territory,
upon such footing that it will be an
honor to the territory as well as of SER
vice should the necessities of the future
unfortunately require them, for the pro-
lection of human life as also the preser-
walton of the property of the citizens.
Resolved, That as Republicans we leave
the convention with the fullest determine
ton and resolution to do everything that
lays in our power to do, day or night,
rain or shine, to obtain the triumphant
election of the Hon. T. B. Catron, and the
dissemination of the ever glorious prin-
ciples of the Republican party, liberty,
education, protection to home industries,
free ballot and fair count.
The convention was the best and most
harmonious ever held in the county.
The san Miguel Peoples Party.

CONVENTION HALL, LAS VEGAS, Oct. IL,
Midnight.-At 1920 o'clock, after ses-
sion of ten hours, the Peoples party
convention had failed to adopt rules or
take definite action on the report of the
conference committee named to confer
with the Democratic convention.
The chairman is debating every ques-
ton, and certainly if this is free and
open convention of the Peoples party,
Felix Martinez is its boss, and he never
fails to crack the whip. The rules were
finally adopted after stormy debate.
At ll;3O P. IN. the
COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS
reported, indorsing Joseph, favoring
statehood and free and unlimited coinage
of silver; the passage of law similar to
the Wright irrigation law of California;
that the present system of taxation be
abolished, and the county treasurer made
collector of all taxes, and disqualifying
him for reelection; the enactment of a
law of squatter sovereignty on land
grants; demanded the repeal of the poll
tax, and the passage of $500 exemption;
the passage of general law for the cree
ton of new counties; the election of the
county attorneys by the people; the aboli-
ton of the libel law; finally took great
credit to the Peoples party, and claimed
the benefit of everything they might have
forgotten to mention. There were eight
cen planks in the platform,
THE CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
then reported that the Democrats of East
Las Vegas should have the nominations
of Juan Pace, assessor; T. W. Haywood,
county commissioner of Sd district; j. j.
McMullen, member of lower house, and
r. B. Rice, surveyor. Then until 2
o'clock a. M, the fight ragged. J. j. Her
rera, Segura, Drs. Milligan and Desma-
rails Feliz Martinez, and dozen others
spoke again and again, and the matter
was finally quoted by a motion that the
report be received and the names pre-
scented be considered in nomination for
the four respective Offices without pre-
judice to any one. Felix Martinez took
the convention into his confidence by
telling them that while the new town
seemed to have four Offices they really
only had three, because R. B. Rice was
fixed and he knew it because he did the
fixing.
Nominations were then in order and at
8 o'clock on the morning Of the 18th the
convention is still wrangling over its
work. The delegates are tired and testy
The weak concession proposed by the
whole county to East Las Vegas rubbed
up raw place, and the outcome will be
ticket that neither side will support. Felix
Martinez
RAN BRACE GAME
on both sides. No one is satisfied, and
the convention will probably come to an
open row before the list of candidates is
finished. The tact of Martinez was never
before strained so near the breaking
point as now. He is, however, holding the
reins like Hank Monk ona perilous drive,
and never spares the whip when a faction
seems inclined to break the pace.
