THE CONVENTION.
Last nights convention was the largest,
either city or county, ever held IN Santa
Fe, and the enthusiasm manifested was of
that sort which presages victory.
When Chairman Valentine Carson, of
the city central committee, assembled the
rostrum to call the meeting to order, the
large room of the district court was
crowded almost to suffocation, and they
we're all Democrats that crowded into the
building. Never in convention in this
city was such confidence displayed and
never was there more earnest enthusiasm
manifested. The rooster, emblematic of
the Democratic party, was in his element
and crowed Justify. A few Republicans
presented themselves at the door just be-
fore the convention was called to order,
but made their escape with downcast eyes
when they witnessed the large number of
Democrats assembling. The size of the
assembly was surprise, but pleasant
one, to even the Democrats.
