night, coming from his home county of
Taos where he spent election day and did
good work for the straight ticket as lndl-
Gated by the estimate, which Is most con-
sentative, that Taos will give Demo
cratic majority OF 200.
Mr.. Joseph was met by New MEXICAN
representative at Democratic headquar-
ters this morning, and, serene as usual,
he said 81 believe an official count will
show New Mexico to be Democratic and
I think l shall be returned to congress"
Mr.. Joseph did not 60 into details but
simply cited his experience of two years
ago, saying:
ssIt is impossible to make anything
like an intelligent estimate of the result
at this time, owing to the isolated rural
districts where from three to ten days
must be allowed to get the returns. l
remember how it was two years ago.
After the election came here to Demo-
cratic headquarters and waited ten days.
At the expiration of that time | took the
train for my home at Ojc Caliente, feel
ing confident that my opponent had car
ried the day, but when l reached Espan-
ola telegram came to hand from head
quarters informing me that the returns
showed the Democracy to be 270 votes
ahead in the territory. So [ returned, and
still later figures, received along about
the twelfth day after the election, showed
that had received a very comfortable
majority.
81 think" added Mr.. Joseph, shat sew
eral days must yet elapse before anything
like definite information can be looked
for on the result of the territorial vote on
delegate"

based upon late intelligence from Sscorro

if it should turn out on an Official count
that Mr.. Victory is successful IN Santa

with the executive IN matters OF public

! As to the next house the Democrats
are rubbing their hands and claiming 1t
amidst much show of good feeling, and
while it IS a significant fact that their
political opponents are not loudly dls-
uniting their claims, at the same time
some assert that the vote in the house
will be a tie in case Hardesty, Republi-
can. from south Santa Fe county, is
elected. and an official count must be had
before this is positively known. The
Democratic claims for the house are that
they will have from Union county l; San
Miguel and Guadalupe counties 4; Taos,
Rio Arriba and San Juan 4; Santa Fe 2;

REPUBLICAN CLAIMS.
Republican headquarters confidently
claim the election of Mr.. Catron by a
ma iority upwards of 1000. Gen. Bart
lett is of the opinion that with Mr.. Spiess
success in Santa Fe county the Republi-
cans are certain of six members OF the
council.
Since hearing the vote from San Pedro
AZ given in the New MExIcAN's table,
however, Mr.. Spiess comedies his defeat
by about 20 majority. Gen. Bartlett says
that the Republicans will have fourteen
out of the twenty-four members OF the
house.
