1t is said that 1t cost the republican
managers twenty five cents a head, to bring
the majority Of the native enthusiasts over

place as advertised.
The county executive committee of the
peoples party at Santa Fe made the fol-
lowing changes in their county ticket:
Arthur Seligman, nominated for the legis-
lative house, was displaced at his request.
and the name Of w. o. Alexander, Of Ger
rillos, was substituted. In lieu Of the
name of w. L.. Jones, declined, that Of H.
b. Cartwright.

this city makes the plea to his personal
friends that unless Catron receives a good
showing In this precinct, the aforesaid
politician will stand a poor chance Of get
ting the government Office he is seeking, in
case Mckinley is elected. While the peo-
pie OF this city have no objection to the
gentleman referred to obtaining a federal
office, IL does seem O little cheeky that he
should ask that the Territory suffer Catron
to disgrace II again In order that one man
should get a fat job.
