THE ELECTION.
Santa Fe County Elects Democratic
Ticket-The Delegateship
in Doubt.
Republicans Making Big Claims for
the Legislature--Sone Read
able Figures,

AT the hour OF gong 10 press the lndi-
cations are that the entire Democratic
county ticket has been elected by ma jor-
tiles ranging from % to $50. The
VOTE FOB DELEGATE
shows heavy and unexpected losses for
Mr.. Joseph in several counties of the
territory. A gain in other directions,
however, makes the result so uncertain
that it will require an official count to de-
eide. Very cheering news, from Dom
ocratic standpoint, comes from the Pecos
valley region and from Rio Arriba and
the. other northwest counties and if the
result shows that the Democrats of San
Miguel, Lincoln and Mora counties have
done their duty, it seems probable that
Mr.. Joseph will be reelected.

300 for Mr.. Catron. 1t is also claimed
that Dona Ana county has gone Repub-
lican by over 100 ajority and that the
whole county ticket has been elected.
The Republicans also claim Bernallllo
county by from 500 to 800 majority and
Colfax by some $50 majority.

ing a Republican councilman and three

counties the election of GALES for the
council and Armijo and Martin for the
