Other County Conventions.

SphoA SOuhSJ ooh'ohuioAlo'
The Republican convention of Taos

and most enthusiastic convention ever
held in the county. Every one of the
2S precincts in the county, except one,
was represented by full delegations. The
harmony prevailed.
The ticket is the strongest that was
ever put up In the county by any politi.
cal party and is a sure winner. 1t is so
arranged geographically-as to cover all
important precincts. The candidates
are arranged as to recognize localities
properly and are all leading and well
known citizens. DISTINGUISHED Judges
say that the ticket will carry at least 65
per cent of the entire vote OF the county.
Messrs, Juan Santistevan, c. T.. Abbott
and Malaquias Martinez compose the
county central committee. All agree
that it is only a question how large the
Republican majority will be.
Hon. T. B. Catron, of Santa Fe, was
present at the convention and made two
addresses, one in English and n in
Spanish, which were of a high order of
e%loquence and full of sound and cOgent
reasoning. and which were received with
great appreciation and applause.
The ticket is as follows: Council, Ma.
