The LOrdsburg Liberal Reviews the
Situation and Gets Things Badly
MiXed-Crumbs of Moment
from the Counter.

Says the Lordsburg Liberal: Our be
loved friends, the politicians, in the CEN
trail and northern part of the territory,
are already commencing to divide the
loaves and wishes. Eugene A. Fiske
wants to be United States attorney and
says he has been promised the place al
though he voted and worked against Mr..
Catron's reelection. He says he did this
in the interest of purity and honesty in
political affairs, and furthermore says
that Major Mckinley has promised to
give him the office. William Berger, of
the same burg, called Santa Fe, has gone
east to get the receivership of his town
and says he will have it although his op-
ponents are mean enough to say that he
did nothing during the campaign for
Catron's election and never gave cent
for campaign expenses. Pedro Perea, of
Albuquerque, says he does not want the
Office of governor, but the people want
him and he will sacrifice himself upon
the altar for the public good, although
some people say they do not want him
and will fight him as being an improper
man for the place. Ex-Governor Prince
looks longingly in the direction of the
old governors palace in the Ancient. A.
l.. Morrison would like to grace the d.
plomatic mission to the City of Mexico,
and is aiming for high game and thinks
the higher the better. L. G. Fort, of Las
Vegas, E. l.. Bartlett, of Santa Fe, Frank
Parker, of Hillsboro, William d. Lee, of
Albuquerque, and last, bat not least, Col.
Williams, of Sooorro, are casting longing
eyes toward the judgeships and SO are A.
A. Freeman, of Eddy, q. w. Prichard, of
White Oaks, and few other gentlemen of
supposed legal ability. "A. G. Voorhees,,
of Ration. Charles Spiess, of Santa Fe,
Judge McFie, of Las Cruces, and Frank
Clancy, of Albuquerque, are all in the
field to combine against Fiske for the
United States attorneyship, but the latter
says success is assured and that Major
Mckinley is fixed as far as he is concern
ed. Levi Hughes and Will Griffin, of
Santa Fe, and Silas Alexander, of Socor-
70, and few Others are ready to step into
Charlie Shannon's shoes. For the score
taryship and for the marshalship they
are just buzzing around like flies. And
why not? Office getting is the privilege
and right of the average citizen and why
should he not try? The Liberal wishes
them all success, but would like to see the
chaff winnowed from the grain and the
best man appointed to each Office.
PIE COUNTY CRUMBS.

for the postmastership at

Fischer is also mentioned as is I. j. Cur
rem, the photographer.
Hon. L. G. Fort is over from Las We
gas to-day. He is being pushed for the
chief justiceship by his friends, but ad-
mits that the chances are good for the ju-
dietary to be named from the outside.
Hon. Sol. Luna, of Valencia, is in town
to-day having "iunta" with the pie
counter fraternity. 1t is generally under
stood that Mr.. Catron is pushing Mr..
Luna's claims as the next U. 8. marshal.
Judge 7. G. Tillotson, of this county,
is said to be an applicant for the office of
register of the Roswell land office. While
it is none of our business, we would like
to see Lincoln county's worthy citizen
thus honored.-White Oaks Eagle.
Messrs. J. 8. Clark and Miguel A. Otero
are camping hard on the trail of that U.
8. marshalship. They are still in Santa
Fe, but friend at our elbow may let the
cat out of the bag by asking this i'm
portant question:: "What's the matter
with Gillie for territorial secretary under
Mr.. McKinley's administration?
Should George q. Wallace be named
for governor of New Mexico, the people
of this territory could depend upon it
that they would have man above all
petty politics and who would do his duty
at all times as is given him to see the
right. Here in Las Vegas we know Mr..
Wallace, and would be satisfied to see
him made governor.-Las Vegas Optic.
Hon. A. A. Freeman left last night for
Socorro and Eddy, carrying with him the
best wishes of his friends at the capital
and fattering Endorsements for the chief

can't for the United States attorneyship

he would like the chief justiceship and he
and his friends propose to work hard and
Use all honorable means to land him in
that position. No man is more worthy,
,om petent or capable for the place.
