about 200 over W. A. Finlay.-Eddy Cur

cncts in Socorro county slaughtered him

newly elected officers of Grant county will
| make competent officials and give the
county clean acknowledging
Headlight.
Assessor John Pace came over from
Las Vegas last night. Mr.. Pace says
that the Indications are that Desmarais
and Duncan are elected over in San
Miguel county.
Hon. W. E. Dame is in from Cerrillos
10 4 a%nh ha nf
vote. He allows the Republicans all they
can lawfully claim and is still in the lead
for the lower house.
When it comes to counting up mem bers
of the legislative assembly the Republi-
cans, as usual, this year adopt their old
tactics of "claim everything" But just
wait few daya till the official count is in.
Grant county looms up like an oasis
in very sultry desert. 1t elected the
ma ority of the Democratic ticket, says
the Hillsboro Advocate. What's the mat
ties where change of nearly 1000 votes
was made over two years ago?
Hon. G. M. Shannon is of the opinion
+ that the Populist vote in Arizona defeated
the Democrats over there. The Republl-
can majority is about 900. The Demo
cratic papers in Arizona are unanimous
for statehood in December and believe
they will redeem themselves handsomely
at the next election.
Mr.. L. W. Lenoir, clerk of the Sd Judi
cial district, is visitor in the city to-day
from Las Cruces. He says Dona Ana
county, on a fair count, has unquestion-
ably gone Democratic, and that IN any
event, Horace Stephenson is elected coun-
ty clerk. He also says Judge Fall is
thinking of resigning his position on the
bench.
Hon. F. A. Manzanares is in the city
from Las Vegas. Mr.. Manzanares says
that matters are SO close in San Miguel
that it will take the official vote to decide.
The returns are being canvassed to-day.
1t seems certain that Catron has carried
San Miguel county by a small majority,
and the union party claims the election
of it's entire ticket.
The official count will be necessary to
determine the result on the legislative
ticket in Dona Ana county, and it may be
that Young and Pine are elected. The
Republican admits how close the count is
when it says: Gas near as we can learn
Fresnal precinct, the only one not heard
from, gives the Democratic ticket ma
iority of from 10 to 43. If this is the
case probably three of the Republican
! candidates will be defeated. We will then
lose the county clerk, assessor and coro-
ner."
Lincoln county Democrats saved much
of the wreck, eleoting superintendent of
schools, assessor, surveyor, coroner and
the three commissioners. The Republi-
cans have sheriff, probate Judge, probate
clerk and treasurer as the figures stand at
this writing, with the Upper Penasco to
be heard from, which will increase the
majorities few votes on those elected,
it is thought, but will hardly be sufficient
to change results. The majorities for the
Democrats elected to county offices, by
the figures at hand average %; the Re-
publcans elected have average MAORI
ties of Al.
Grant county gave Joseph 25 majority.
Ancheta for the council is elected, having
carried both Grant and Dona Ana coun-

county ticket with the exception of sheriff,
Superintendent of schools, county sur
veyor, probate clerk, probate Judge and
one commissioner. d. p. Carr, Repub-
lican, led his ticket for representative, re-
ceiving 176 majority. For the two coun-
ties there is possibility of Young's, d.
election, as he was ahead of his ticket in
Dona Ana. The pluralities for the legis-
lative candidates in Grant county are:
Aucheta, R., 46; Curry, D., So; Carr, B.,
176; Young, D., 80. These are without the
Black Hawk precinct.
