4 REPUBLICAN VICTORY ASSURED.
The Republicans Will Have a Majority in
the Next Legislature.

~~
leans in that county have settled their
a strong ticket composed of
excellent men has been nominated, and
it should not astonish any n If the
ticket would be elected
with a majority of 1900. When the Re-
publicans of that county are united
they always elect their ticket by good
round majorities. This is Republican
year in San Miguel county evidently,
and the Democrats will so find out on
day.
In Taos county it is reported to the
New Mexican that things are in pretty
good shape, with the exception that a
few men who call themselves Republic
ans are endeavoring to create dissen-
sion in the party, and are working for
the election of some of the Democratic
nominees. Nevertheless, it Is claimed
that Taos county will go Republican on
election day. Hon. Malaquias Martinez,
who has peer nominated for the
Gil from the district composed of Taos,
Rio Arriba and San Juan counties, will
certainly be elected.
The Republicans have nominated an
excellent ticket in Bernalillo and Nc
Kinley counties. Reports from those
we'll acquainted with the political con-
ditions in those counties agree that the
Republicans will carry them both, and
by a larger majority than is now ex-
pected. The fusion Democratic ticket
in Bernalillo county is especially weak,
and has absolutely nothing to recon-
mend it to the consideration of the peo-
Pile. The Republicans feel sure that
they will elect their legislative ticket
by a very handsome majority and their
county ticket by about the same ma
jority. The party is united and loyal,
and the voters of Bernalillo and Nc
Kinley counties will prove this asser-
ton on election day.
The Democratic bosses are using their
best endeavors in Socorro county to
make the race question an issue in this
campaign. They may succeed and they
may not. At any rate, they are trying
it very hard. In all the precincts in thai
county where the Spanish-speakine
people predominant, fiery and incendi-
airy speeches against what are called
the Americans are being made by the
Democratic speakers, and thousands OF
circulars, tanning the flame and making
a race issue out of the campaign, are
being circulated throughout the county
This is a t%wo-edged sword, and will
work both ways, as Mr.. Larrazolo, his
advisers and co-conspirators against
the best interests of New Mexico will
find out on election day. The Repub-
licans are organizing, will put up a
good fight for an excellent ticket, and
are confident of success.
Hon. B. s. Rodey, the Republican
candidate for delegate to congress, has
left Las Vegas and gone to make a
campaign tour in the southern part OF
the territory. Tonight he speaks in AL
amogurdo, in Otero county; Tomorrow
night in Lincoln, the county seat OF
Lincoln county; from thence across
country to Roswell. where he will adj
the people; then to Carlsbad, In
Eddy county, where he will make an
address, and thereafter proceed to Las
Cruces, where he will speak also. 1t is
believed that from Las Cruces he will
visit Grant, Sierra and Socorro coun-
ties, reaching his home city of Albu-
querque on the evening before election,
His tour through Colfax and San
Miguel counties has been a great sue
cess, and he addressed meetings at
Springer, Ration and Las Vegas, where
great crowds attended the meetings
and where he was enthusiastically re-
ceived. In Las Vegas, especially, he
and Hon. w. e. Martin, who accom-
panied him through northern New Mex
leo, were given a most cordial welcome,
~
Governor OterO, who a just re-
turned to Santa Fee from Las Vegas,
where he attended the Republican
county convention, was received at the
depot in that city by a great crowd of
citizens, and in a carriage Governor
Otero, Chief Justice Mills, Hon. B. S.
Rodey and Hon. Eugenio Romero pro-
oendod tnuathor IN tho hou uhoro the
convention was to be held, escorted by
a large procession of Republicans. Gov
ernor Otero addressed the convention
at noon, and again in the evening. He
is of the opinion that an excellent coun-
ty ticket has been nominated in San
Miguel county, and that Republican
success Is assured. The best observers
OF political events in San Miguel county
put the majority of the Republicans on
November 6 next at at least 800, and
many think 1t may reach 1900. This Is
great good news for the Republican
party. and will no doubt prove true on
election day.
From. suo Arriba county come the
most cheering reports. That county is
absolutely safe for the legislative and
county ticket, and will do as well, if
not better, than 1t did in 1898, when it
gave a majority for Mr.. Perea Of 600,
and a larger majority for some of the
candidates on the county ticket. Hon.
II. n Rurns Ia ahaolutelv assurod of
election, as he will carry Taos and Rio
Arriba counties, and will make great
inroads on the Democratic vote in San
Juan county. The latter county gave a
majority Of 1858 for MI. Ferguson in
1898. II Mr.. Larrazolo gets a majority
Of 100 this time he will do mighty well.
In summing up the political situation
IT Is safe to assume that the Republic
ans will carry both the council and
