NEW MEXICO POLITICS.
Readable and Timely Assortment or
Political Notes from ALI Parts
of the Territory.

A private letter received this morning
from Las Vegas states that Candidate
Catron left there day before yesterday
for Mora "as mad as wet hem" 1t ap-
pears that after his failure to get an au-
dience at Grants opera house in Albu-
querque on Tuesday night Mr.. Catron
took the train for Las Vegas with the
avowed intention of delivering speech
at that point on Wednesday evening, and
he telegraphed ahead advising the boys
of the fact that he was coming, as
'strong" as usual. But either the tele-
gram miscarried or the parties receiving
it didn't give out it's purport, so when "de
boss' reached Vegas he found no ar
rangements for his public appearance.
Then he gave the Mckinley Hobart
club piece of his mind and left town.
TROUBLE AT so5oRRo.
The free coinage question in general
and scrap over the local pie in particu-
lar caused heap of trouble to fall upon
the Socorro county Republicans at their
county convention yesterday. Details as
to how the play came up are not yet at
hand, but it is known that at least
dozen of the most influential Republi-
cans in the county, among them Hon
Juan Jose Baca, have openly repudiated
the high handed methods resorted to by
those who captured the convention, and
they threaten to run an independent
ticket or meet and indorse the Demo
cratic ticket from top to bottom.
