This election has at least shown that the
people want bi. metallism.
Ten river precincts In Valencia county
give catron, $40; Ferguson, SO.
Mr.. Catrou, your nance Of ever going
TO the senate from the state OF New Mex.
leo are very slim.
The report that there was rIoting In
Chicago vest erday does not seem to have
been founded on fact.
In Albuquerque, Finical beats Field

are a tie for the council.
The whole republican ticket is reported

county will give Ferguson q majority OF
200.
ALBuouRRoUR, N. NJ, November 3d.
Catron's friends claim that his majority In
Berpali,lo county will be 100. 1t will GER
tainly not exceed that figure.
II Won have money that Is burning for a
bet, just take IL home and give it to your
wife aud bet her even that you will never
get it back. That's a good bet il you lose.
You can see how little the republicans
of San Miguel county knew about politics
when 1t is remembered that they honestly
claimed that Catron would carry this
county by 700 majority. f
Fergusson's majority will be more than
100 in Dona Ana county, but an official
count is necessary to decide the legislative
ticket in the eighth district. Garrett is
elected sheriff beyond Q doubt.
Enough is known from Santa Fe county
to make it certain that the entire demo-
cratic legislative and county ticket has
been beaten by majorities ranging from
100 to $50. This is the last estimate made
by Mr.. Lacome. Delegate Catron has run
somewhat behind his ticket.
A certain untiring politician OF this city,
is bitter in the thought that a personal
fight was made against him Ia his
endeavors to elect Catron, when In fact IL
1t had not been for his personal popularity
In Las Vegas, Catron would not have re-
ceived 100 votes 10 this city.
Returns from Trinidad and outside pre-
cincts indicate that the silver republican
populist ticket has carried the city by a
majority OF about $50 and that the demo-
cratic county ticket Is elected. 1t Is q
foregone conclusion that Barela, for sena-
tor, Sweeney, Anderson and Woodward
for representatives, and Widderfeld and
Taylor for commissioners have been elect.

publican, 1875; Nathan Jaffa, republican
candidate for representative of the ff-
teenth district, ia; U. s. Bateman, demo-
crat, 403; one precinct Of 20 votes to hear
from. The democratic county ticket Is
probably elected.
HERE IN SAN MIGUEL oUNTY
The race in San Miguel county is close
for sheriff, but it is estimated that Hilario
Romero will win by from so to 100, and
the balance OF the union ticket is elected
by from l0O,to 600 majority. Ferguson
will carry this county by from l50 to 200
votes. The above estimate is made from
the reports of 40 out of 81 precincts, though
a few of the reports are unofficial. Patri-
clio Gonzales majority is 1854.
