POLITICAL MATTERS.
Newsy Notes from Far and Near Re-
lating to the Campaign.

Hon. Antonio Joseph reached tho city
last night after stay of several days in
San Miguel, Colfax and Guadalupe ccun-
ties. Mr.. Joseph is very much pleased
with the outlook and says that the pros
pects this fall are everywhere much bet
ter than they were two years ago. Mr..
Joseph left this morning for Taos county.
From his home he will go over to San
back in Santa Fe next week. Mr.. Joseph
was accompanied by his private secretary,
Mr.. Camilo Padilla.
The United Peoples party and Dem
ocrats of Guadalupe county held a big
convention at Puerto de Luna the other
day, denounced Republican methods in
unmeasured terms and decided to place a
strong joint ticket in the field. The
county committee is composed of such
influential men as Lorenzo Labadie,
Eduardo Martinez, ,Crescenciano Gallegos,
Luis Letestu, Geo. W. Lukens, Roman
Dodge, Pablo Aragon and Carlos Casaus.
The Democrats of Colfax county at
their convention on Tuesday nominated
the following excellent ticket: Represen-
tative, Severino Martinez; commission
ers, John Duffy, j. Abreu and John Pier
son; sheriff, John Bracket; collector, j.
j. Murphy; assessor, Santiago Valdez;
surveyor, W. A. Chapman; superinten-
dent of schools, John Morrow; probate
Judge, M. A. Lopez; clerk, M. M. Salazar.
'Democrat," in the Silver City Eagle,
takes this view of the matter: "If the
Republicans had nominated Ancheta at
Socorro they would have had a much
better chance at the polls, but Ancheta is
not the right kind of man for the purpose
of the Santa Fe ring and his nomination
was out of the question"
The Las Vegas Optic, referring to the
payment of that brick money by Mr..
Catron, says that it was paid "at time
when it best suited him and when, per-
haps, the exigencies of the hour seemed
to demand its payment" One of the ex-
igencies referred to was the fact that Mr..
Joseph was after him with a very sharp
stick.
Mrs. Alice McComas, wife of Judge Nc
Comas, formerly Of this city, is stumping
California for the Republicans and Mrs
Marble, of Kingston, is performing simi
lar service in Colorado. New Mexico
women appear to be coming to the front
Albuquerque Democrat.
"Hon. j. d. W. Veeder, until now one OF
San Miguels leading Democrats, has
come out tiat-footed for Il. B. Catron for
delegate to congress" So says the Ration
Range. Mr.. Veeder's friends in Las We
gas aud Santa Fe say there is not a par
ticle of truth in this statement
From all indications the Republicans
intend to run the present campaign with
sight drafts on sentiment. The banks
that put up SO literally put up no more
Albuquerque Democrat.
The Las Vegas Optic suggests: "The
A. 2. A., or the American Protective nsso
citation, Is seeking to ally itself with the
Republican party in strong Republican
states"
"The delegates to the Republican con
vention at Socorro are still trying to fig
ure how Tom Catron stampeded the
gathering. .'--Deming Headlight.
Col. J. p. McGrorty has been named as
Grant county's member of the Democratic
executive committee for the 8th and 9tt
legislative districts.
The Grant county Populists hold their
county convention at Silver City on Octo
ber 6. It is expected that the party vii
put out full county ticket.
Elsewhere in this issue M. Hess Dunant
announces himself as an independent
candidate for the legislative council from
Santa Fe county.
The Deming Headlight asks: "Hov
does DOM H. Kedzie, of the Lordsburl
Liberal, relish the nomination of r. H
Thlelman"
San Miguel county is solid for Joseph
80 says Assessor John Pace.
