MS MON LA L w
ed in silence. He then took up the Chica
go convention, constituted, he said, by ar
"anarchist from Illinois, a tramp from
OHIO and a secessionist from Soutl
Carolina"
The convention being thus happily dis
posed of, he gave delighted audience q
short eulogy on Cleveland, Whitney, Car.
Isle and all others who took his views oi
the financial question. He referred to
son and Cleveland" but as the first named
two gentlemen are dead no action can be
brought for using their names in this con-
nection. Mr.. Childers said he would deal
with the A B G of the money question;
whether this was on his own account or
on account of the limitations of his au-
dience he at first neglected to state, but
as he noticed later that the silver men
were in the majority, he said it was for
them. Some of Mr.. Childers' remarks in
regard to Mr.. FERGUSON and Mr.. Bryan
seemed little bit severe, but will not
necessarily prove fatal. Chairs on the
platform we're occupied by j. W. Young,
JAS. Boyce, DR.. Harrison and E. l.. Med
ler; four vacant chairs seemed significant,
but may have meant nothing. Probably
owing, to some extent, to the large mum.
ber Of political speeches We have had in
the past few weeks, the seats of the opera
house were not more than half filled.
POLITICAL GOSSIP.
Mr.. Carr, of Grant, seems to have been
merely bluffing, like Mr.. Cooney, of Socor-
70. The Silver City Enterprise says: sd.
P. Carr has withdrawn as an independent
candidate for probate clerk, and will sup
port the Republican nominee for that
position, Mr.. William Watson, of Pinos
Altos"
The Chloride Black Range, always Re.
publican, has followed tho example of
the Las Vegas Optic and bolted the Re-
publican territorial platform. In a
vigorous editorial the Range declares that
it can not stand the Catronist methods,
and it hoists the names of Bryan, Sewall
and FERGUSON at its masthead. Next!
The Bryan and Sewall Silver club met
Thursday evening at Jaramillo hall for
business meeting and added to the list
of officers by naming Nepomuseno Tor
res as sergeant-at-arms. A number of new
names we're added to the roll of member
ship.-Socorro Advertiser.
Messrs. E. 7. Webber, Arthur Boyle, 7.
B. Mills and other Populist leaders will
have conference at Las Vegas to-mor-
row. No letter of notification has 40 yet
been sent to the Populst nominee for
delegate in congress, Hon. L. B. Prince.
This matter will be discussed at to.mor-
rows conference.
Hon. H. B. FERGUSON arrived from Las
Vegas this morning and was Welcome
caller at the NEW MEXICAN Office this fore
noon. Mr.. FERGUSON expresses much
qualification over the manner in which
his nomination for congress has been re-
ceived by the press and the people of the
territory. He has an immense amount
of work laid out for the next thirty days.
The Republicans of San Juan county
have nominated the following ticket:
For county commissioners, R. Archuleta,
A. ID. Mcintosh, H. King; for clerk, A.
White; for sheriff, j. Taylor; for school
superintendent, W. H. Waring; for treas
urer, W. H. Williams; for assessor, ". L.
Paddock; for probate Judge, 3. Martinez;
for surveyor, G. E. Andrews.
The New Mexico Democrats I'M thai r
convention on Tuesday nominated Fl. B.
FERGUSON as delegate to congress on
free coinage platform. There is very lit
tie doubt that the majority of the voters
of New Mexico are in favor of free coin
age, and since Mr.. Ferguson is person
ally we'll liked, it is certain that he should
defeat the Republican nominee, who
stands on gold platform and is bad
man besides.-Denver Republican.
The Republicans of Grant county have
nominated the following ticket: For the
council, 9th district, Grant aud Dona Ana
counties, Albert L. Christy; for represen-
tative, 18th district, Grant county, Rich
mond P. Barnes; sheriff, George O.
Perrault, collector, Arthur L. Goodell,
assessor, T. N. Childers; treasurer, W. d.
Murray; probate judge, R. :. Knight;
probate clerk, William E. Watson; county
commissioners, John Spiller, Michael
Fleming, @. B. Allaire; superintendent of
schools, Edward Pennington; coroner, A.
K. Watts; surveyor, James 7. Reed.
Says the Las Vegas Examiner: "Last
evening very enthusiastic meeting of
the Las Vegas Bryan Silver club was
held. Judge Longs address was ex-
cellent and has been praised by q
great number of people on our streets
to-day. The orators in the Bryan club
are just aching for chance to meet
the McKinleyites in debate, and all seem
to express preference to meet Sir
Ralph, the Santa Fe orator. Now Mr..
Twitchell, don't back out but give the
Bryan boys chance to slaughter you.
You are looked up to by the goldbug Re-
publicans as their most promising cham
pion and surely you would not have your
constituents come to believe that there is
no argument on the Mckinley side of the
fence to champion. If there is side
why won't you manfully defend it,"
The Grant county Democrats have
taken note of county finances and Dele
gate Catron's scheme to validate the
fraudulent Brice-Coler bonds in these
words: "Resolved, That the Democratic
party of Grant county favor the payment
Of legal and binding obligations of the
county, but believe that, in these times of
depression of all industries and over bur-
den of taxation the people should not be
com mpelled TO pay either principal or in
terest of bonded indebtedness issued in
excess of the legal limit and the candi-
dates nominated by this convention for
county commissioner are hereby instructed
to take measures to ascertain what por-
tion of the bonded indebtedness of the
county has been illegally issued and to
protect the tax-payers by refusing to levy
