patches-Political Gossip.
There seems to be some question as 10
whether the appointment of Gov. Prin-
os's successor has yet been made. The
Washington dispatches to the morning
papers of Saturday announced that he
"would be appointed" and the Denver
papers of Friday afternoon stated in their
Washington dispatches that he "had been
appointed" The NEW MEXICAN on Fri
day was wired to the same effect by
its regular correspondent at Denver, but
however this may be, nothing confirm
ing the news of his appointment has yet
been obtained from Washington. In
fact, kilograms we're yesterday received
at Las Vegas and Deming from parties
who ought to know saying the appoint
ment had not yet been made. This would
seem to be correct since press dispatch
of Saturday night says that Secretary
Hoke Smith would this afternoon "see
persons interested in the appointment of
a governor for New Mexico, with view
of obtaining information for the presi-
dents use in making the selection"
Hon. H. L. Pickett, who has been in
Washington since the Inauguration, passed
down the road on Saturday night for his
home at Silver City.
A telegram to the New MEXICAN an
nounces that the president to-day APP
pointed Chas. Bull postmaster at White
| Oaks.
Hon. A. 3. Fall for judge. What do
the labor organizations think of Grover
now? In the last campaign they were
| for Cleveland and reform. They have
got him now to their hearts content
Socorrc Chieftain.
James A. Lang, of Albuquerque, is in
Washington and is at work for success.
He writes friends in Albuquerque that he
is sanguine of appointment as United
States marshal for New Mexico.
Charges have been made against Hon
w. 7. Thornton i'll the matter of his can
didacy for governor of New Mexico and
they come from his own political as
sociates. Stabbed in the house of his
supposed friends.
Judge Seeds commission expires one
year from the LIST of July. There is sale
to be such a wrangle among the faithful
over his successorship that the chances
are all against the filling of the place by
any one from this district.
| W. T. McCreight, of Albuquerque, il
another applicant for collector of inter
nal revenue, and filed his application a
the treasury department on Friday last
An application has also been filed by San
Neustadt, of Albuquerque.
T. Hon. A. B. Fall has been appointed as
sociate Justice of the supreme court O
this territory and Judge of the thire
district. Mr.. Fall was opposed by all tn,
labor organizations in New Mexico Blu
his name was Eli and he "got thar
Springer Stockman.
Judge H. l.. Warren, of Albuq
is candidate for chief justice of the su
preme court of the territory and is be
ing pushed for that position by Fl.
FERGUSON, member of the Democrats
national committee from New Mexico.
The New MEx1oAN's information from
Washington is to the effect that one o
the next appointments out this way to b'
made is the one of collector of interna
revenue and that this is in the balanc.
between G. M. Shannon, of Arizona, ant
B. Seiigman, of Santa Fe.
Col. A. L. Kane, of San Marcial, is al
applicant for agent of the Mescalero
Indians. Col. Kane is an A. No. l mar
and from his endorsements in New Mex
leo and outside of the territory, stands
very good chance of being appointed
Socorro Chieftain.
The failure of Gov. Ross to secure the
appointment of governor is no doubt {
bitter disappointment to the old man
| He felt so confident that his services
would be recognized that he had made al
his arrangements to assume the duties Of
governor. Republicans and political
parties are often Observation-Disclosures
que Citizen.
What with candidate for interna
revenue collector, one for U. s. marsha
one for U. S. district attorney, another
for Indian agent and one or two more
who are laying in the dark for anything
that comes up, Socorro is pretty W, Il
supplied with candidates for office and
there is fun ahead Gentlemen, the posi-.
ton of the boy and frog has changed. =
Socorro Chieftain.
In Washington at present are just 100
Now Mexicans engaged in walking
match for half-dozen offices, with the
president as the target. Each one is
saturated with the belief that because he
has come so far, and spent 80 much
money, he will inevitably win, nor can he
be persuaded that distance trave.ed and
an expense account have small influence
with Mr.. Cleveland. What will happen in
the land of Spanish myth and memory
when ninety-four of these gentlemen re-
turn to it and begin to discuss how this
one did up the other one is easier to i'm
agine than describe. 1t is rather unfortu-
nate, because the territory is an insistant
applicant for statehood, and has no popu-
lation to spare. The most prominent
New Mexican candidate for the governor
ship, and the generally considered to be
certain of the prize which he covets, is
Capt. Eads, of Las Vegas. He has the in
dorsement aud backing of Delegate
Joseph, as we'll as the cordial support
of Senator Vest member of the finance
committee. As the term of Governor
Prince expires on April 9, it is presumed
that his successor will be soon named
