Progress at the Court House
This Afternoon.

ms Afternoon.
large and enthusiastic gathering of
the Democracy of Santa Fe county oc-
CURED this afternoon at the court house.
1t was generally remarked that larger
attendance an more enthusiasm was never
seen upon similar occasion in this city,
and the spirit which was displayed by all
present was taken as foreshadowing of
the victory which the Democracy will
win at the polls in November. In addi-
ton to the delegates chosen from the
various precincts, large number of the
most substantial men of the county
men who seldom interest themselves
about politics-was on hand; and the cen
Germ which
THE BUSINESS MEN
of New Mexico are showing in the success
of Democracy and the attainment of
statehood this fall was easily to be seen
in the interest with which so many of
them witnessed and participated in this
days proceedings.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at 2 o'clock by Chairman j. P.
Victory, Mr.. Donaciano Vigil acting as
interpreter. Mr.. h. L. Ortiz, in highly
euloglstic manner, placed in nomination
for the position of temporary chairman,
Mr.. Pedro Delgado. Mr.. W. E. Dame put
in nomination the name Of DR.. j. H.
Sloan. It was decided to elect by rising
vote and upon count 1t was found that
Mr.. Delgado was
ELECTED CHAIRMAN.
Upon motion of Mr.. Dame the election
was made unanimous. Messrs. Ortiz and
Dame escorted Mr.. Delgado to the chair.
In taking his seat the temporary chair
man thanked the convention very heart
lily for the honor.
Mr.. George Marsh was nominated for
temporary secretary and duly elected.
Mr.. H. l.. Ortiz was elected as interpre-

and responded with an earnest speech.

At 4:4O the speech making was still in
progress and it seems that the delegates
will not be named for an hour, too late
for publication in to-day's NEW MEXICAN.
POLITICAL P1nK-Ups.
Tranquilino Labadie is mentioned as
the probable nominee for sheriff on the
union ticket, SO says the Optic.
The Colfax county Democrats hold a
convention at Springer on September "a,
for the purpose of nominating full
county ticket.
Abran Abeytia, of Socorro county, says
lie has been deceived and lied to for four
years, and he is now out for the scalps of
several Republican bosses.
The Ration Reporter rises to remark:
| 'Haye Won noticed that Republican
speakers are not much in demand lately
to address labor conventional"
The Democratic county committee of
San Juan county met last Saturday in
Pennington to arrange matters in regard
to holding their county convention.
Charley Magraw, the universally prais-
ed justice of the peace of La Plata, was
in Pennington Tuesday, looking up his
chances to the Republican candidacy for
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Juan Times.
The Roswell Record is of the opinion
that it will require a popular and able
man to beat Sparks, the Republican
nominee for councilman from the 9th
district. Fortunately there are such
men in the Democratic party of that dis
trict.
This is the way the Socorro Advertiser
puts it: candidates for the delegateship
are becoming as numerous as cottonwood
leaves in the Rio Grande valley. From
the present indications Socorro will be
overrun with aspirants on the Goth inst,
and Las Cruces filled up with them few
days sooner"
