The CAPITAL CITY Republican.

The Republicans carried this city
yesterday by a very fair vote. Some of
the candidates on the ticket suffered
because there was a little coterie of dis
affected or d~isgruntled Republicans
working against them by all sorts
of undetermined and coWardly work
and disgraceful treachery. But up
on the whole, the people of this
city are to be congratulated upon the
fact that they have sustained a decent
and honest Republican county admins
tration very handsomely. despite this
treachery by a few alleged Republi-
cans, and that they Endorsed by their
votes the territorial administration of
Governor Otero. The New Mexican
proposes to treat this matter more fully
in the future and the ~renegades who
worked against the Republican ticket
yesterday under the guise of being
Republicans have not heard the last Of
this by a very long shot. Mr.. Perea's
majority in this city is 144. which,
considering all circumstances, is very
handsome and shows that the good and
decent citizens of the capital have not
forgotten the valiant and strong fight
made for the best interests of this city
by Mr.. Perea for the past Is years.
