POLITICAL
AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
Hon. B. s. Rodey May Get Majority in
Grant County,

Grant County.
From the best information obtainable
the city of East Las Vegas will go for
Rodey by 200 majority.
Colonel r. e. Twitchell, assistant at
was here yesterday on official business,
left yesterday for Albuquerque, where he
will address an open air Republican
meeting. From thence he will return
to Las Vegas where he will be on cleo
ton day. Colonel Twitchell Is well
known, asa most ma Tnetic and con-
vincing speaker, and will do the Repub-
lican cause great deal of good wher-
ever he makes addresses.
From San Juan county come most
encouraging reports for the Republicans.
The Republican candidate for delegate
will lose the county, but by greatly re-
duced maiorities. Two years ago Mr.
Fergusson's majority was 26s; if LARA
zoo gets $50 majority next Tuesday he
will do very we'll The Republican legis
lative ticket will poll a stronger vote and
indeed may carry the county and the
Fusion ticket composed of Republicans
and Democrats it seems will be elected
as against the Pop. Demo. ticket. Let
the good work 60 on.
A dispatch to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat says: THE Republicans of
Chaves county held a rousng rally in
the court house of Roswell last night
The speakers We're Hon. B. S. Rodey,
Republican candidate for congress from
New Mexico; j. M. Hervey, candidate
for the legislature, and District Attor-
ney A. J. Nesbit. 1t was the most large
ly attended political gathering ever held
in eastern New Mexico, and the speech
es We're we'll received. There is no
doubt but New Mexico will give large
Republican majority"
Hon. B. S. Rodey has completed his
tour through Otero Lincoln, Chaves,
and Eddy counties, and was everywhere
received with great enthusiasm, making
speeches and producing a very favora-
Bile impression. There can be no doubt
that,the Democratic vote Of these coun-
ties will be cut down by reason of his
speeches. He is now in Sierra county
and will speak tonight at Hillsboro.
From Hillsboro he leaves for Grant
county, speaking in Silver City on No
vember 3. He will also speak at several
mining camps in that county as the Re-
publican central committee of Grant
county has arranged. The situation in
Grant county is much more favorable
for the Republicans, according to all re-
ports, than it has been for ten years.
In fact it would not surprise those who
are keeping track of political events in
the territory. to see the county give Mr..
Rodey majority. The Republican
candidates on the legislative ticket are
very hopeful of election and so are the
candidates on the county ticket.
The Silver City Independent publishes
apage of a Munchhausen account OF Mr..
Larrazoo's meeting in Silver City few
days ago. From an eye witness and a
reliable one, the New Mexican learns
that the meeting was regular and un-
conditional fiddle and Mr.. Larrazolo's
speech fell as fiat as a pancake. There
were not over 200 persons present and
the speaking was done from wagon on
the streets. Mr.. Larrazolo talked free
trade, and free wool, 40 cent dollars the
same as in Mexico and in fact talked
like Mexican who had the interests of
the Republic of Mexico at heart and not
those of the United States. He talked
on none of the territorial issues because
he knows nothing about them. He did
not speak of matters of interest to the
people of the territory because they did
not interest him. All he wants is to be
elected and draw good fat salary, for
which of course he cannot be blamed.
That Grant county will not swing for
him by its usual heavy Democratic
majority is sure. Indeed it may 20 for
Rodey.
