j. Eulogio Will, county commissioner
Of Taos county, has resigned and Govern
or Thornton has appointed Alloys
Scheurich as bis successor. Mr.. Vigil is
Republican while his successor is
Democrat. s
The Denver News (Populist) takes
occasion to say that the prospects for
election, as delegate from New Mexico, are
now con the side of Antonio Joseph, the
Democratic nominee" The News shows
that it knows what it's talking about.
The Democrats held rousing meeting
at Cerrillos last night Speeches were
made by Messrs. SOL Spiegelberg, Geo.
W. Knaebel, G. F. Easley, J. P. Victory
and T. F. Moore. The registration at
Cerrillos aggregates 6s6 voters and the
Democrats are going to get big major
ity of these.
Some good Democrats, among them
Mr.. Camille Martinez, Of Pojoaque, are
making complaint that Republican Coun-
ty Clerk Romero, known among his Mex
lean friends as eel tejon," refuses to show
them the petition for the division of pre-
cincts making precinct No. 10. Frequent
calls at his office have been met with a
uniform refusal to show the public REQ
ords on this subject.
Santa Fe Democrats are preparing for
} a rousipg old time rally to take place on
Saturday night. Col. T. F. Moore, Mr.,
H. L. Ortiz and Gen. O. F. Easley con-
stitute the committee on arrangements
and they ask every Democratic voter to
take part in the parade ON this occasion
A large number of unique transparenoies
will be carried in the parade. And ct itl
conclusion there will be address by many
: prominent Democrats.
Hon. Sam Eldoat is in the city from
San Juan. He has lately had advicea
from most of the larger precincts in Rio
' Arriba county and feels satisfied that Mr.
Joseph and the Democratic ticket are all
right up there despite the Doodle the
Catronists have sent into Rio Arriba
, In one precinct alone seventy-sight
voters who heretofore have always voted
q the Republican ticket held meeting last
i week and resolved that they would this
\ year vote solldiy for the Democratic
{ ticket.
' 1t is understood up this way that Off
:, cials now connected with the Albuq uerqus
I National bank have information Of Ger.
tain parties who got "boodle" in the last
+ legislature for assistance rendered in max
y ing that banking institution depository
). for territorial funds, information that
] would make mighty interesting reading
just now. Only for one sharp-eyed citl
En-, the bank would not have been re-
= quired to observe even the formality of .

Delegate Joseph was given a grea'
Welcome yesterday by the citizens Of
Gallup. The sensible people in that sec
ton have about agreed that only through
Democratic success can they secure theil
just deserts as respects the organizatior
of that new county, and aside from that
they will support Mr.. Joseph because h'
represents statehood and progress al
against Catronism and political peonage
The fact that the Republican convention
In Valencia county, representing the Cat
ron Chaves-Perea combine, last week
adopted resolutions denouncing the Sum
NIT county proposition has also served tt
show the Gallupites who their friends ar,
in this matter.
