Extends his paw.
| The silver republicans Of this city should
issue a manifesto, such as those courage
GUS silver republicans Of Albuquerque did
Major Mckinley say that the people OF
| the United States can always be trusted.
Let him remember this after the election
is over.
Parties arriving In the city from Los
| Alamos, to-day, state that the republican
| meeting out there, last evening, was almost
a complete fzzle, only a handful OF people
being present.
II any of the silver men OF Lss Vegas
are in doubt MS to the final outcome OF the
national election, let them read the letter
from Chairman Jones to +. A. Manza-
mares, received recently.
According to the registration books OF
the two city precincts, down In A~lbuquer-
que, 1, 500 names were registered. In pre-
cinct No. 10, q total registration of $50 10
shown, and in precinct 26 there are $50
names.
The cheering news comes up from Albu-
querque that Hon.. Mariana s. Otero q
his army OF followers ia the republican
ranks OF Bernalillo county, have deserted
Catron and W III support H. B. Ferguson
for congress at the polls, next Tuesday.
The colored citizens did not hold a meet
ing at the office of Judge H. B. Wooster,
".
last evening, as was billed. These people
of Las Vegas have minds Of their W and
it's mighty few of their votes that will go
to Catron. They remember too well the
respect which he accorded them recently
by answering their letter nit.
The Durango, Colorado, Bimetallic
league writes to Judge l.. Bradford Prince
that it has just printed 10000 more copies
of his st. Louis speech and is sending them
east. This makes 1870, 900 that he knows Of
as being printed. 1t was the Durango
league which bought all the remainder OF
the edition which the late Walter G. Had
ley had printed of this speech for distribu.
tion.
The republican press seems to be making
great capital out Of the fact that F. A..
Manzauares, Ia an interview published In
THE Optic, some months ago, said, that
the words s'protection on hides, wool and
other products Of the west" were not 10
the democratic platform. Mr.. Manzanares
does say that the platform implies protec-
tion to these products and that the silver
question is paramount to any other ques.
ton in this campaign, and he Is in bust
ness where the wool interest is above
everything else to him.
sLIMLY N F
At the old-demo-republican meeting
last evening, there were by actual count,
thirty eight people present, made up of
republicans, democrats, silver republicans
and N. B. Roseberry, the one lone gold
democrat of this city. Both speakers. W..
E. Dame, of Cerrillos, and W. B. Childers,
had the respectful attention of the audi
ence, but the distorted facts which they
gave out, found little sympathy with the
majority of those present.
SANTA FEE REPUBLICAN
Below will be found the complete ticket
placed in the field by the republicans of
Santa Fe, Saturday:
Council, Chas. A. Spiess; house of repre-
sentatives, Larkin g.. Read and Jose ID.

I. Mclaughlin; third district, Jose Amado
Lucero; superintendent of schools, Facun.

Il. B. Cartwright; probate
judge, Telesforo Rivera; probate clerk,

liam White; coroner, Pablo Ortiz.
A SIGNIFICANT FACT.
Isn't it a rather singular thing that q
secretary o. a republican central commit
tee, and a candidate for office on the re-
publican ticket, should go down to the
train when a democratic speaker is to ar
rive and before that speaker lie off the
platform of the car, for this self same can
didate to reach up his hand to himyskheIp
him out of the car, take his grip and then
proceed to hold a little love feast with
him? This is precisely what Robt. l.. M. |
Ross, the republican candidate for the
and the secretary of the repub- |
lican county central committee, did with
W. B. Childers, of Albuquerque, the dem
gold bug leader, last evening. Ana
does this not show that the men In the
gold party, calling themselves gold demo-
in this Territory, are 10 reality but
stool pigeons for the republicans?
