The above are the nominations made
by the city Republican convention held
at the court house last night.
The convention in point of numbers did
not compare at all favorable with the
Democratic convention of the night be-
fore. The crowd which attended the Re-
publican convention numbered not more
than one-half of that which attended the
Democratic meeting.
If the convention is any criterion, the
Democrats will have an easy victory.
With a few exceptions, the leading mem
bers of the party were conspicuous by
their absence. The speeches were remark
able, in that they we're all abusive. No
criticism of Gov. Thornton seemed too
harsh for the speakers to indulge in. His
attempts to suppress crime were de-
nounced as hypocrltical and he was ira
duced in terms almost too vile to publish.
Sheriff Cunningham was also denounced
in fiery terms.
CALLED TO ORDER.
City Attorney Chas. A. Spiess called
the convention to order. Gen. Bartlett
nominated May or Twitchell for permanent
chairman, and he was unanim ously elect
ed. Judge Sloan was likewise unanimous
ly elected secretary and Atanasio Romero
assistant secretary.
The mayor upon assuming the chair
made brief speech.
w. M. Berger moved that committee
consisting OF one from each ward and one
at large be appointed on credentials. The
molten prevailed and the chair named the
following as the committee: w. NJ. Ber-
ger, Antonio Jose Rael, Carlos Domin-
guez, J. V. Conway and Joseph Conklin.
On motion of Gen. Bartlett a like COM
mittee was appointed on resolutions con-
sisting of E. L. Bartlett, Q. A. Spiess,
Juan Garcia, Victor Garcia and A. P.
Hogle.
A TIREsoME SPEECH.
On motion of Antonio Ortiz Salazar,
Judge A. L. Morrison was invited to ad-
dress the convention. He exhibited no
hesitancy in accepting and made long
harangue. He journeyed from national
to city politics, INDUCED in eulogies of
himself and ex-Sheriff Conklin, abused
Gov. Thornton, delivered dissertation
upon the evil of carrying concealed
weapons and altogether exhausted the
patience of those present. His eulogy OF
Conklin was ridiculously absurd.
He said: "a year ago gentleman
was elected sheriff of this county by a
majority of 300 or 400 The name of
that man, against whom the voice of
SANDER can find nothing to say, is Charles
-Conklin. He is an honest man and one
of the poblest works of God, The pres
emit governor OF. this. territory stifel and
nullifed the voice of the people by re-
moving Conklin on account of an alleged
defalcation, of which no attempt has been
made to prove it true. The hypocritical
attempt of Gov. Thornton to suppress
crime needs no comment, as it's hypocrisy
is too palpable
"Next November will soon roll around
and then Conklin will be vindicated by
the voice of the people,"
He protested against what he pleased
to term the usurpation of the Office. He
launched forth in half hour TRADE of
abuse of the Democratic party, and in
dulged in vaporous platitudes to such an
extent that good many in the audience
arose and left the hall.
REPORTS OF COMMITTEES.
Mr.. Berger presented the report of the
committee on credentials. The commit
tee reported the names of forty delegates
entitled to seats in the convention.
c. A. Spiess presented the report of the
committee on resolutions.
The resolutions were in line with the
speeches of Mr.. Catron and Mr.. Morrison,
except that they deal at length with the
case of N. Mondragon, the defaulting city
and school fund treasurer, whom the Re-
publicans last year nominated and elected
to office.
NOMINATION OF CANDIDATES.
Judge Morrison, in an eulogistic speech,
nominated Mr.. Levi A. Hughes as can
