TERRITORIAL POLITICS.
FERGUSON Making Clean and Ener-
getic Campaign-MOra County
Nom

Hon. H. B. Ferguson reached the city
this morning and left at 1850 for Rio
Arriba county. He will speak at Chamita
to- night, returning here tomorrow. When
q uestioned by a New MEXICAN repre-
sentative this forenoon the Democratic
nominee for congress said he was more
than gratifed over the outlook for party
success two weeks hence. He comph-
mented the legislative tickets thus far
named by New Mexico Democrats and
said that never in his long experience IN
territorial politics had he noted county
tickets of such general excellence as had
this year been placed in the field by the
Democrats of the respective counties.
Mr.. FERGUSON is certainly making a
clean, able and brilliant campaign, and
one, too, that is characterized by splen'
aid energy. Unlike his opponent, who
has only visited four of five counties and
has failed to fill his dates for speeches IN
two of these, Mr.. Ferguson has already
visited and spoken in every county IN
the territory. 1t is needless to say that
he has made many new friends and con-
verts to Democratic principles in north
ern New Mexico during the past ten days
