concern to the Mexicaus, the resolu-
tions should be interpreted to them.
The name OF Joe Escsjeda was suggest
ed as an interpreter, out he refused on
the grounds of being a cand date.
/. E.. Archer said that be was not a
candidate and he would act in that ca
paclty. Cheers from the Boone lac
tion.l
Archer was pressed forward to the
chsirman's seat and be mounted the
table and then instead of giving the
Mexicans literaln iterpretetion of the
| resolutions he commenced to give Them
a red hot speech in favor of Boone AMI
Alderete. Those OF the opposition who
understood what he said tried TO stop
him but the chairman was unable to do
so and Archer shot it into the MeXlcans
Assem- bled for about ten minutes, when
he was fuslly stopped by the chair,
and then he resd them the exact mean
ing OF the resolutions aud told them
that the 9th side didn't want them to
vote. When they fully understood
what he said they began oyeli viva
Archer"
Patterson yelled for his motion to
Ia BILE the resolutions and on its being
placed the resolutions were tabled.

Of FL Paso County, Texas.
f Paso, Texas, October %. 1898.
Bridgers took advantage of the chair
TO express h ; views on the Mexican
proposition by saying that he was not
ia favor OF di-fraochising the Mexican
vote as tnst would be nothing more
than turning it over TO the repu oiicans,
and this he was against.
Charles Davis moved that there be
three judges appointed to receive the
votes from the voters, and that each OF
the candidates have q representative
in these three judges, and besides these
judges that SIX tellers be appointed to
keep tally.
Here occurred much wrangliug. The
names of Dick Blacker for Ten Evck,
[ Z. Archer for Boone, and Mr.. Ford
for NJ 1t Robinson were announced.
J. G. Jones objected To the appoint
nts, for, he said, as Ten Eyck was
fighting Boone and Robinson aud they
were together IL would give Ten Eyck
only one of the three and that was not
s.. 4 L
thought that the chair ought to make
the appointments.
After much talk the chair acted
upon the motion of Jones and appointed
as judges or receivers Stanton, Jim
Dryer, and Archer, and for the tellers
Gay Porter, j. II. Fulkerson, George
Harper, and +. l.. 5 nackleford.
While this was going on j. G. Jones
jumped on a table aud said that he was
there for fair vote ard that Charley
Patterson and Pat Dwyer were stand
ing at the gate of the railing in the
court room and taking the tickets out
OF the hands of the Mexicsns coming
through the gates and giving them
tickets of their own. Some one yelled
What Happened to Joues?" The
chair had a knotty problem as he
couldn't stop Patterson or Dryer, and
neither man denied the allegations.
Then the voting went on quieter for a
while, when there was lull and
Charley Patterson made a motion TO
close the pc Is.
Charley Davis made a motion TO re-
consider the other motion and asked
the chair to let the pc Is stay open five
minutes more. The motion carried.
The counting lasted until after one
o'clock and resulted in the election of
the following delegates: J. E. Moore,
j. w. Magotiin, j. B Badger, III. T.
Stacey, w. w. Bridgers, Charles
Bieswinger, ~. ID. Savage, Frank Del
