inees For the council, Duncan, 1852; San
doval 30; for the house, Lucero, 307; Lu-
jan, 1856; Sanchez, 1856.
The Las Vegas papers announce that
Mr.. Catron is over there with view to
scraping up some technicality whereby
his defeated party in San Miguel might
find loop hole through which they might
throw out enough Union party precincts
aud elect part of their county ticket.
His plan is to contest the validity of the
Union ballot, on the ground that it was
voted with H. B. Fergusson's name at the
top, and this, he claims, was not in any
manner authorized by the nominating
convention of the Union party. Such
contention, however, 10 wholly without
basis. The Union party convention not
only vested its central committee with
s'full plenary power to fill vacancies,
substitute or indorse candidates and do
all matters and things that this conven-
ton is authorized to do in its vested
powers as deliberate body" but its Gen.
trail committee, in pursuance of snch au-
thority, did, on the 18th of October, for
mally endorse and substitute Harvey B.
to congress of the Union party to be
voted for at the election to be held No
vember 3, in San Miguel county"

GOOD FOR UNION.
Special to the New Mexican.
Clayton, Nov. 1O.-Fergusson's official
majority in Union county is 1853. The
whole Democratic county ticket was elect
ed by somewhat less majorities.
ALLEGED FRAUD IN MORA.
A. L. Branch, of Mora, is in the city.
He says Mora county gave Catron IL ma
jorlty. In some precincts he says three
Republicans acted as judges; in another
where Republicans controlled precinct
there we're three more votes polled than
were registered Vegas Examiner.
soooRRo COUNTY.
The Socorro Advertiser, at hand this
morning, says:
"At the present writing it appears that
the Democrats have elected R. G. Mon
toya, Manuel Pine, w. w. Jones, Luciano
Chavez, with Edward Fortune and @. s.
Bahney in doubt. 1t is possible that
both are elected, as three Democratic
precincts are yet to hear from"
From this it appears that the Demo-
cratic councilman, L. Chavez, is certainly
elected over Martin, Republican. The
Democrats claim their ticket for the
lower house is safe with the possible ex-
ception Of Reynolds. Bursum, Republi-
can for sheriff, ran away ahead of his
ticket and his election is conceded by
Democrats.

county show the following figures:
Catron 1852, Ferguson 1924, Sanchez

cha, NJ, 1885, F. Garcia 1851. Blake 1893,
Jaquez 1878.

ticket by over 100 majority.

dressed by O. A. Larrazolo and others.
| A letter received by Chairman Joseph
of the territorial Democratic committee,
to-day announces that in two precincts
in Mora county the grossest kind of cleo
tion frauds we're practiced, and the ballot
boxes stuffed in most bungling manner.
The Republicans finally conceds Mr..
Joseph's election as member of the coun-
Gil from the district of Taos, Rio Arriba
and San Juan by at least 1874 majority,
though they lay claim now to Locke's de-
feat. The official returns will be at hand
IN few days to settle this.
Col. Timmoney is undecided which he
will apply for, the governorship or score
| tary of war. 4 y Dick Young is wear
ing the placard: "Bryan, 1900, 16 to L."
and offers to bet 16 to that the Repub
lican party will steal the free silver plat
form before that time.-Roswell Record.
Hon. Juan Santistevan, who declined
to run against Mr.. Joseph for the oouncil,
arrived from Taos yesterday. He says
Taos county went Democratic by over
100 majority, though he is inclined to
think that the Republican nominee for
the house, M. Martinez, has majority of
about 80 in the county. The official vote
was to have been canvassed by the coun-
ty board yesterday.
