MORE ELECTION NEWS.
H. l.. Warren and W. 5. Hopewell in
a Fair Way Safe for the COun-
cll-Territorial Notes.

The canvass of the vote in Bernalilo
county is in progress at Albuquerque
The Democrat says:
"The greatest interest is felt in
the disposition of the three precincts,
Nacimiento, Gonzalitos and La lara.
The supervisors have been enjoined from
counting these three precincts on the
ground that they are part of Rio Arriba
county. This question can only be settled
in court, and his honor, Judge Collier,
has set Thursday as the day of hearing.
The Importance of decision as to which
county these three precincts belong can
be seen when it is admitted that the cleo
ton of four county offices is dependent
thereupon. If Judge Collier decides
these precincts are IN Rio Arriba county,
it is more than probable that the election
of Judge Warren, Spitz, Skinner and
Burke is assured. If on the other hand,
be decides they are part of Bernallllo
county, then the election of the entire Re-
publican ticket, with the exception of
county clerk, is certain. H. V. Harris Is
in an event elected clerk"
HOPE FOR HoPEwELL.
SIT is possible that the far western
precincts will pull Hopewell through"
says the Socorro Advertiser, and it would
seem to be fact. Returns have been
received thus far only from fifteen out of
forty-two precincts in Socorro county.
In Socorro town, Hopewell got ia votes;
GALES, 2ll; at La Joya, Hopewell, 66;
GALES, "a; at Cooney, Hopewell, So;
GALES, 6; at San Pedro, Hopewell, AZ;
GALES, 10. In these precincts thus far
heard from Gales has ma ority of 1876,
and as Hopewell has carried Sierra
county by IS ma ority the odds against
him are only 81 votes with twenty seven
Socorro county districts yet to hear from.
GALES election to the council is therefore
by no means assured

Mr.. 7. P. Gable is in receipt of te,e-
gram from W. B. Bunker, which states
that the official count elects Messrs. Bun
ker and Desmerais to the council. This
insures two Democrats from San Miguel.

Las Vegas water works plant, has been
elected to congress, and Las Vegans are
feeling right good over it.
One of the questions likely to come up
at the approaching legislative session is
the repeal of the law cutting down sal
aries of county officials. Let the law
alone.-Las Vegas Optic.

the banner Democratic county of New
Mexico. Antonio Joseph, Democratic

jerity, and the whole Democratic county
ticket was elected.-Eddy Independent.
DR.. Tomlinson, Populist, who received
Sc over Hinkle in this county, is defeated
by about 800 ajority by Hinkle. We're
it not for the fight made on Hinkle

have received so votes in Eddy county

Considering the fact that this was a
bad year for Democrats and that the OPP
position made a mountain of capital out
of the removal of the tariff from wool,
New Mexico has emerged from the fray
with record to be proud of. The legis-
lature will be Democratic on joint ballot
and we have Democrat in the governor
chair whom we may we'll admire.-Eddy
