formed the New MEXICAN scribe and other

MEET1N' TIPS.
So Gov. Slower had to stay at home and
plant trees. It's too bad!
In the absence of Boss Catron, Gen.
Bartlett seems to have charge of the
machine.
Editor Collier, the staunchest of the
Mckinley boomers, was detained at home
by sickness
The Hon. D. G. Hobart is here from
Grant county "purely on other business
than politics. Ah-ha!
It is understood that Gov. Hadley is
not averse to representing the Oofa1 dis
trict at the national convention.
Major Llewellyn's friends say he is a
Mckinley man to the core and that the
Reed plan to fix upon a certain delega-
ton from Dona Ana Is liable to bit a
snag.
Unlike the Democratic territorial COM
mlttee the Republican junta was strictly
private-all business was transacted in
what Chairman Bartlett was pleased to
term an executive session."
They do say that there is woeful lack

rd-Betts- Hobart combine positively
forbids Dick Hudson and Joe Sheridan
sliding down their cellar door. The latter,
however, is right in it as delegate to the
national convention.
1t was real pleasure to see those old
battle-scarred veterans, Col. Hughes and
Private Kistler, hobnobbng together in
| the plaza this forenoon II rennired M
great pull on ones imagination to see a
veritable white dove of peace resting on
the Tyre that surmounts the plaza pagoda.
Talks with committeeman reveal the
fact that they are good deal at sea on
presidential preferences. Most of them
are on the fence. Like the Republican
delegations from southern states they are
all striving to fall squarely on their feet
and hurrah for the winner in order that
there shall be no trouble in case there
may be dividing up of the loaves and
fishes.
