This second lot of nominations are yet
in the hands of committees. The first
lot above referred to were considered in
executive session yesterday forenoon and
all were confirmed save j. A. Whitmore
of San Marcial, appointed a regent of the
agricultural college, and e. V. Chavez, of
Socorro; w. H. H. Llewellyn of Las
Cruces, and M. Salazar, of Las Vegas,
Worlds Fair commissioners.
In objecting to these appointments it
is understood that party lines were in no
wise concerned, several Republicans vo-
ting with the five Democratic councilmen
against confirmation. In some cases the
vote was six to six, in Others seven
to five, in one case eleven to one
against confirmation. This morning
the council again met in executive ses-
sion and reconsidered its vote by which
it declined to confirm three of the above
named. The previous question was
sprung, which cut off debate, and Messrs.
Llewellyn, Chaves and Salazar, as Worlds
fair commissioners, were confirmed, but
the appointment of j. A. Whitmore as
regent of the agricultural college was re-
jected through southern New Mexico in
fuence. It is also understood that Dem
ocratic influence was the cause of E. V.
Chaves' rel lection in the first instance.
