A Lively Budget of Local News Re
specting the Movements Of
Politicians.


Politicians.
During the past few days New Mexico
has been flooded with copies of Spanish
pamphlet containing Archbishop Ire
lands goldbug address and calling on the
inhabitants of this territory to sustain
the visionary views therein expressed by
voting for Catron. AS many of the
ablest prelates in the Catholic church
have denounced and repudiated Arch
bishop Ireland's utterances in behalf OF
the inhunan gold standard, and as the
gold advocates are the organizers and
leaders of the A. p. A., which is to-day
actively and secretly at work opposing
the Catholic church, as elsewhere, we
rather think this petty appeal to relig.
ious zeal will serve as a boomerang for
the Catronists and their crew of public
plunderers.
ED. d. JONES.
Mr.. Ed. d. Jones, the nominee for the
lower house from the Madrid district,
paid the New MEXICAN pleasant call to-
day. He appears to be very sensible,
long headed man of practical experience.
Mr.. Jones is native of Wales. When he
was years of age his father immigrated
to this country and settled in Macon
county, Mo. There Mr.. jones grew to
manhood, was educated In the public
schools and learned the occupation of
coal mining. He has been resident of
New Mexico for six years, about half of
which time he has resided in Santa Fe
county. He has always been an active
leader in the labor movement and enjoys
the respect and confidence of all who
know him.

MR.. JONES Positively DECLINES
To the Editor of the New Mexican.
The fact having come to my knowledge

proffered nomination.

POLITICAL NOTES.
q. A. Spiess is campaigning in the
lower precincts of the county. Jose Sena
is working the north end.
Messrs. L. g. Read, T. j. Helm and s.
G. Cartwright left this forenoon for a
tour of the southern precincts of the
county.
The nominees on the Democratic ticket
for county commissioners are all worthy
men, payers and clean honest citi-
zens. They should be elected.
The New MEXICAN has it on the best
authority that, in the recent Colfax coun-
ty convention, Candidate Catron's name
Republicans up that way are on to Cat
ron's methods it appears.
Chairman Faulkner, of the Democratic
congressional committee, has sent to the
Democratic territorial committee 5000
copies of Mr.. Bryan's great income tax
speech and Congressman Towne's mas
terly argument in favor of silver remone-
tization for distribution in New Mexico.
No, thanks, we decline Catron, even
with his woolen promises. We under
stand it ia the votes of the sheep and not
their wool that he is most interested in,
or if he should take fancy to their fleece
it would only be for the benefit of his
son John or for the purpose of hiding
his own wolfish character, says the Ros-
we'll Register.

"Fighting Graham from the SOUTH" was
