Says the Las Vegas Optic: 1.-THE Re.
publican county convention was held in
this city yesterday for the purpose of
selecting delegates to the territorial con-
vention. Naturally the newspaper looks
upon the secretary of any meeting for the
minutes OF the same. This has never been
refused the Optic until to-day. When a
reporter called upon R. L. M. Ross for q
copy Of resolutions, atc., of yesterdays
convention Mr.. Ross said that there was
but one copy and IL could not be trusted
out Of his sight. The reporter asked to
be allowed to copy the same under Mr..
Ross' watchful eye. This was refused him
on the ground that II would take too long
q time, and consequently the people will
not have the privilege OF reading the dis
graceful resolutions which send delegates
TO the territorial convention with their
hands bound and their lips sealed to do
the bidding Of the BOSSES"
