Review Of Conventions Work.

Elsewhere in this issue of the NEW Mex
loan will be found a detailed report of the
proceedings Of the Democratic conven-
+tion, which convened in Santa FeF yester-
day, adopted ringing series of resolu-
tions touching the local issues of the
hour and placed in the field candidates
for the various elective legislative and
county officers. The convention was one
of the largest, most harmonious and en-
thusiastic political gatherings ever held
in the county, and, while its results are
naturally not entirely satisfactory to
everyone interested in Democratic sue
cess, it is conceded that the ticket as
a whole is strong and no doubt of its
election is entertained by persons who
are familiar with political conditions in
this county.
Alois B. Renehan, who was unanimous.
ly nominated for the territorial council,
was born in Alexandria, Va; was care
fully educated at st. Johns, Washington,
and st. Charles, Maryland; served for a
time as French translator of the Paris
exposition report for the department of
agriculture; became resident of Santa
Fe five years ago; studied law and was
admitted to the bar here three years ago;
married a charming daughter of Santa
Fe, Miss Gold, about two years ago.
He is bright, we'll educated, honest and
ca pable, and will prove a most useful
councilman.
Edward D. Jones, of Madrid, whom the
convention wisely selected for represen-
tative in the legislative assembly, is re-
spected and influential miner in south
Santa Fe county. He is bright, intelli,
gent and aggressive in the defense of the
principles that he cherishes. He is famil.
lar with the needs of the mining industry
in this county, and, best of all, has earned
and enjoys the confidence OF the miners
who were almost unanimous In soliciting
his nomination. His calling and election
are sure.
As will be perceived by reference to
the proceedings of the convention, Arthur
Seligman, of this city, was nominated
for the third place on the Legislative
ticket by acclamation. But Mr.. Sslig,
man has since declined the nomination
and the central committee has named
Joseph E. Lscome for the position. Mr.
Lacome represented Taos county dis
trict in the last legislature and then made
record in favor of the labor and mining
classes of the territory that renders hin
especially strong with those importan
elements in the community. He intro
duced tive bills IN the interest of miners
particularly those engaged in coal min
ing, that ought to have become laws.
Dr.. Enos Andrews, whose honored nam,
adorns the ticket for county commission
or for the let district, has been a residen
of Santa Fe for thirty odd years, and, in tn
multiplicity of the business transaction
he has had with the people OF this cit,
and county, he has established mos
enviable reputation for honesty and capa
bility in both public and private affairs
His interests are thoroughly identified
with those Of the plain people and the,
can be depended upon to see that hi
nomination is handsomely ratified at tn
polls on the coming Tuesday.
