j. r. johnson again obtained the floor
and offered a resolution that the conven-
ton should proceed to the election Of 16
delegates to represent. Silver City pre-
cinct in the County republican conven-
tion that none but republican voters Of
this precinct be allowed 70 vote, and that,
as they offered their. votes their names
should be given to the secretary, who
should record them and give them to the
republican committeeman, and that a
copy should be given to the democratic
committeeman for reference. Frank ].
Wright moved to amend by striking out
all that pertained to recording the names
Of these who voted in the primary. This
created quite a commotion and called
forth remarks by E. NJ. Hand, d. p Carr
and Frank j. Wright. The amendment
was carried by a large majority and the
resolution, as amended, was adopted.
The candidates for sheriff we're then
called upon to name tellers, and Robert
Black stated that any republican was
good enough for him. A. B. Laird stated
that he believed any republican would
act fairly and that he hoped that no
democrat would attempt to take any
part IN the primary; he was candidate
for sheriff and didn't want any demo
cratic interference. The chair then ap-'
pointed w. A. Leonard and E. NJ. Hand
tellers and the balloting began. There
we're 149 votes cast, and the entire ticket
nominated by Mr.. Hand and Mr.. Porter
field was elected. The ticket is recog-
nized as the auti-Catron ticket, and the
majority Of the delegates elected are be-
lieved to be in favor Of the nomination
Of Black for sheriff and Miller for clerk
The majority was small, the highest man
on the Catron ticket receiving "a votes
and the lowest on the opposing ticket
receiving 75. Some OF the names ap-
peared on both tickets, and one of these
candidates for delegate, John Spiller,
received 149 votes q.
The anti-Catron men we're jubilant
over their victory, and will make strong
fight in o'County convention today to
send delegates to the Territorial conven-
tion who are opposed to Catron and his
, lieutenants.
