POLITICAL POINTERS,

The Republicans of Chaves county are
very anxious that Mr.. e. A. Cahoon, OF
| Roswell, should be nominated as a can
didate for representative from the 9th
district. Mr.. Cahoon is a young man of
great ability and highly respected and
would make a gallant fight if nomin-
ated, although the chances for his cleo
tion in that strongly Democratic district
are not very good. But he would cut
the Democratic majority down nightly.
1t is said that there is some friction
among our Democratic friends in the
9th district as to the nomination of a
candidate for the assembly. Eddy
| county Democrats wish to re-nominate
Hon. L. S. Bateman, and Lincoln
ty Democrats favor M. A. Cisneros. 1t
is claimed, that by rights, the nOmlna-
tion should 60 to Lincoln, as Eddy nom
mated a candidate for the 1896 cleo
ton.
This is the way the political wind
blows in Bernalillo county:
