Election Figures.

The beautiful weather is serving to
b ring out large vote to-day.
A very marked contrast over two years
ago Is to be noted In tina law and order
that prevails. At each of the polling
places are assembled large crowds and
the party workers are buckled right
down to their tasks, but the utmost good
feeling prevails and in not single in
stance have there been repeated the
scenes of brutality and offensive inter
ference with voters that so frequently
we're to be seen at the last territorial
election.
Shortly after the noon hour Republi-
cans conceded that the Democrats we're
safe to carry the city and as the afternoon
wore on this view of the situation was
confirmed with every half hours report
coming from the polling places. One
we'll advised Republican said his oppo-
nents had the cinch on precincts No. g. II
and Is, bat he felt that precinct No. was
in doubt.
About p. IN. telephone message
from Cerrillos announced that Sheriff
Cunningham was then some 1875 votes
ahead of Pine in that precinct and that
the regular Democratic ticket was run
ming close to Cunningham's figures. As
a result of this intelligence, and after
making later canvass of the four city
precincts, the Democratic workers CON

entire ticket and many there were who
emphasized this view by Offering consid-
cradle sums of money on the Democracy,
in both the county and territory, but
there were no takers.
Appended are the latest available fig
ures:
In precinct No. 4 up to 3 p. III. there
had been polled 357 votes out of reg
istration of 465. This is the precinct in
which Antonio Ortiz resides and is count
ed on generally as Republican, but
watchers at the polls on both side admit
that it is very close to-day. The Repub-
licans rushed in their voters early, and at
$50 had about all their votes polled. At
this hour Republicans claimed the pre-
cinct by Is votes, and while some Dem
era who had been ON duty there all day
held that the vote was about even with
the chances that tardy Democratic voters
would bring the result up to a small
Democratic majority.
In precinct IS, which some Republi.
cans have all along conceded would give
Democratic majority of 60, votes to the
number of 235 had been cast up to 2
o'clock. The registered vote in this pre-
cinCt is 341.
Precinct No. II showed at $50 p. m. a
vote of PIG and of a registration of 301.
TIL ose who have been Watching the result
in this precinct say that the Democrats
are leading by comfortable margin
and that when the polls close a good
round majority will be shown for the en-
tire ticket from Antonio Joseph down.
In precinct 3 at 3 o'clock 355 had
voted out of total registration of 491.
A Democratic majority of not less than
rs seems certain in this precinct.
AS to the results in other parts of the
territory nothing is as yet at hand.
ESTIMATES ON THE REsULT.
Gen. E. l.. Bartlett, chairman Of the
Republican territorial committee, in re-
spouse to request for prediction as to
the probable outcome of the election to-
day said that, in his opinion, Mr.. Catron's
majority would be not leas than 1000.
He thought that Mr.. Joseph's loss would
be in the Democratic counties, Mora, Col
fax, San Miguel, Lincoln and San Juan
while Mr.. Catron would lose in Valencia
and Rio Arriba. He predicted that Ber-
nalile would give Catron majority of
500, although the committee was informed
that it would be as high as 500; that Mr..
Joseph would carry Chaves by 400; that
Mr.. Catron would get majority in Col
fax, and Mr.. Joseph's Dona Ana majority
would be reduced to 100. He predicted a
Republican gain in Eddy and Guadalupe
and said that Mr.. Catron would carry
Grant by from IS to $50. Gen. Bartlett
said that CatroB would be lucky to carry
Rio Arriba by so majority and that in
San Juan it would be stand-off between
Catron and Joseph with about 1875 votes
for Mills. In San Miguel the result is
doubtful-lt may be ESQ majority either
way. In Socorro Catron would get be-
tween SO and 100 majority and in Taos
Mr.. Joseph would win by small ma jor-
ity. The vote in Valencia county will
show majority of 900 for Mr.. Catron.
The territorial council, in Chairman Bart
lett's opinion, would be Republican by
about one majority.
In the absence of Chairman Crist the
territorial secretary, Hon. Lorion Miller,
who is always conservative, made the fol-
lowing predictions: Mr.. Joseph will carry
the following counties with the major
tiles mentioned: Chaves, $50; Collar,
200; Dona Ana, 275; Eddy, $50; Guada
lupe, 1876; Lincoln, $50; Mora, 300; Rio
Arriba, so; San Juan, 100; San Miguel,
400; Taos, $50. Total, 1880. Mr.. Catron
will get the following majorities: Ber-
nalillo, $50; Sierra, 80; Socorro, CO.; and
Valencia, 800. Total, 1850. Thus giving
Mr.. Joseph a majority of 1890. The
general opinion among leading Demo-
Gratis ia that these are inside figures and
that Mr.. Joseph's maj ority will be greater
than the prediction above made by sew
eral hundred votes.
ELECTION KcHoEs.
Remarkable good order has thus far
characterized the day.
Mr.. Johnny Adams, the Alamosa horse
man who failed to get away to cast
straight Dem ocratic vote against Waite
ism, is making amends for it here by
loaning several of his fine teams to fur
ther the cause Of good Dem ocracy.
Eight extra policemen are on duty
about the polls to-day. A Democratic
city administration displayed fair and
courteous spirit toward its political OPP
ponents by selecting these additional
officers half from the Democratic party
and half from the Republican party.
Mr.. Nestor Montoya, who has been
serving as interpreter in Judge Golfers
court and lately doing excellent campaign
work along the Rio Graude, arrived
