TAME AFFAIR.
The Republican county convention on
Saturday was such mild-mannered affair
that not dozen people in town, outside
of the professional politicians, knew that
it was in progress. By liberal use of
the proxy system there were present one
or more delegates from fifteen out of the
nineteen precincts in the county. The
same old gang ran things exclusively in
the interest of L. B. Catron, the colts
having made it convenient to be else
where about this time. The officers were:
A. l.. Morrison, president; Antonio Ortiz
y Salazar, Demetrio Leyba, vice presi-
dents; W. B. Sloan, secretary; Eugenio
Gonzales, assistant secretary, and R. l.
Baca, interpreter. Mr.. Catron made a
speech and the committee named for the
purpose reported the following delegates
to represent Santa Fe county in the terri
torial convention at Socorro: T. B. Cat
ron, Antonio Ortiz Salazar, G. A. Spless
Aniceto Abeytia, Trinidad Alarid, R. E
Twitchell, W. B. Sloan, R. L. Baca, BENZ
M. Read, L. B. Prince, Max Frost, E. l.
Bartlett. For the first time in years thi
convention failed to come to the from
with any sort of platform or any resolu
tions of any kind.
