LEGISLATIVE CHAT.
News Notes Concerning the Lcgisla-
tors and Their D0ines.

The Especial ORDER will hold the floor
from this on.
Hon. Perry B. Lady is not jeopardizing
his peoples interest by mixing IN any
fight
From the indications Santa Fe seems
to have had the best of it in any itinerant
lobbying done on the capital question.
Things political are very dull during
the recess. There arc only two or three
legislators in town and they have little to
say.
Senator Saint has not yet made that
twenty-five minutes speech be threatened
some time ago Probably he will on his
return from Denver.
Rio Grande county will be the next to
plead for Legislative recognition, but just
look out for Florida when it comes to
the home-stretch.
There are forty odd bills on the speak
er's table and about as many more in
committees. Some pet measures will be
left over for two years or more.
All the Union county boomers except
Tom Gable have disappeared from Santa
Fe. But with Thursday morning we may
again expect the old familiar faces.
Hon. Robert Bland will be dangerous
competitor for some of the rising politi-
cal lights of the northwest. Look out for
"Bob" when the federal plumbs are pass
ing.
Mr.. McMullen keeps his hand on the
house safety valve; and when things get a
little too hot he generally by few timely
remarks brings them back to orderly
motion.
Senator Hall is working hard to post
himself for the closing days of the SEES
sion. He will also make strong fight
for his school bill, Fl. B. No. 10.
Dr. stovall and Harry Clancy sit side
friendship has grown up between the
two. 1t is rare thing not to see them
together during the recess.
The minoritles of both houses have
found the victors generous foes. 1t would
be hard at this stage of the session to in
tluence a party vote. Both sides have
been working i'll harmony.
htpItStHIdtINt l. Idul pun 10 gnu
legislator. He makes few mistakes and
advocates all good measures. The New
MEXICAN only voices the general opinion
as it knows no bride or tlattery would in
fence the reverend gentleman from
Mora.
Said prominent Democratic member
to the New MEXICAN short time ago:
"You put up the best paper in the terri
tory, and an establishment that carries
the pay roll you do is a benefit to any
town. There are very few corporations
In New Mexico that disburse more money
than the New MEXICAN.
Hon. G. W. Lane, ex-secretary; j. II.
Crist, editor of the Sun; Representa-
tive Perry B. Lacy, and Fl. Fl.
PIERCE editor of the Stock Grower, are the
prominent candidates for the position of
secretary of the territory. 1t is reported
that the appointment is carralled for Mr..
Crist. A great may believe this story,
others do not. Time will tell.
John Swarts is circulating three petit
tions which are receiving numerous sig
natures both OF the county officials and
influential citizens, praying President
elect Cleveland to appoiM as U. S. mar
shall, L. l.. Hall, of Grant county; Charles
Easley, of Santa Fe, as surveyor general,
and Filadeltio Baca as consul represent
ing the United States at Juarez, Mexico
Las Cruces Times.
Politics have been eschewed in this
legislature. The house finance bill, while
it reflects the unanimous opinion of
Messrs. Hopewell Hinkle and Clancy, was
drawn by the latter. There has never
been dispute on any clause or item; and
when the bill comes up for discussion it
will be found that the committee will be
a unit. The common veal and not party
advantage has been the motto of these
gentlemen.
The New Mexico legislature will return
to Santa Fe next Thursday, and it is
claimed will get right down to work till
the end Of the session. The Colorado
legislature will arrive in Santa Fe the eve
ming of the oath, and after a short visit
with the hospitable people of the ancient
city, will proceed to Ell Paso, accompanied
by the New Mexico solons. 1t is prob
able that the visitors will be invited to
accept the hospitality of this city on their
journey to Ell Paso.-Albuquerque Citi-
zen.
The New MEXICAN in the first part of
the session, as a plain business PROPOSE
ton, promised its readers an honest re-
port of the legislative proceedings. Its
circulation has greatly increased; and
strange to say largely among Democrats
1t has been showered with encomiums
