SANTA FE, N. M. TUESDAY. OCTOBER ~ 1896

of justice of the peace at Espanola, being
the first Demo ocrat elected to that position
in the precinct named for many years.
He is strong with the people and will be
elected.
Higenio Martinez, the invincible can
didate for probate judge, is merchant
and farmer and resides i'll the Sd precinct
Of the city of Santa Fe. He is son of
Jose Maria Martinez y Sandoval, who
years ago served as county commissioner,
and has himself filed the offices of county
commissioner and school director. His
record is clean in all respects; he is hon
est and competent; he will be elected as
election day arrives.
Adolfo p. Hill, who is a candidate for
reelection to the responsible o flee of
probate clerk and exoficio recorder, was
born in Collar county, but has lived
from childhood in Santa Fe. He was
educated at st. MichaePs college and the
University of New Mexico; was elected
city clerk in 1894 and most faithfully
discharged the duties of that position for
one term; was elected probate clerk two
years ago and no stronger argument need
be offered in favor of his reelection than
the admirable manner in which the rec
ords of that office have been kept under
his personal supervision. He is at pres
ent captain of company B, 1st regiment
of New Mexico militia The people ap-
preciate his worth as they will soon
prove by their votes.
Sol. Spiegslberg, candidate for re elec-
tion as county collector, has been actively
engaged in business in this city since
1858, and probably no man in the county
is better known or more highly esteemed.
He served term as chairman of the
county commissioners; was long custo-
dian of the capitol, and trustee
of the Territorial Historical society.
His name is synonym for honesty. Dur
ing the past two years he has proved an
almost ideal collector of taxes and the
people will see to it that he is retained in
that position for at least one more term.
William T. Cunningham, whom the con
vention nominated for reelection as sher-
if by acclamation, needs no intro suction
to the people of Santa Fe county. He
came to this county from Colorado in
1881 and has resided here ever since; he
was appointed to the office of sheriff by
the governor on June 26, 1898; was
elected to that I'm portant Office two years
ago, and, in spite of the fact that he has
not endeared himself to the lawless ele-
ment, stands very excellent chances of
reelection.
For the Office of assessor, John s. Can
delario, native of Santa Fe and we'll
known man, was unanimously nominal
ed. He is actively engaged in business
here, is acquainted with the affairs of the
county and the needs Of the people and
his friends believe would make good as
SCISSOR.
Eugenio Sena, the popular and deserv-
ing candidate for perintendendent of
county schools, is native of Santa Fe
and commands universal respect. He is
honorable in all his transactions as a
business man, we'll educated, liberal in
his views, progressive and Industrious.
The county schools could not be trusted
to safer hands than those of Eugenio
Sena.
In the person of Peter M. Doan, the
we'll known merchant of this city, the con-
vention made selection for county treas
urer that will undoubtedly be ratified by
the people. Mr.. Dolan came to New Mex
leo from his native town of La Crosse,
Wis, fourteen years age and first settled
at Mora; thence he went to Taos, where
he was successfully engaged in the mer-
camille business for two years and where
he married his estimable wife; during the
past five years he has been an active
member of the firm of Gusdorf & Dolan
and the Santa Fe Mercantile company in
this city. The funds of the county will
be safe in the custody of honest Pete
Dolau.
The ticket was completed by
the nomination of Albert F. Easley for
county surveyor and Ascencion Rael for
coroner.
