POLITICAL
REPUBLICAN SUCCESS ASSURED.
Indications from All Parts of the Territory
Indicate the Election of Hon.
B, S, Rodey,

Indicate the Election of Hon.
B. S. Rodey.
The Republicans of Guadalupe county
hold their convention to-day. AS there
is no telegraph line to Puerto de Luna,
| the county seat of Guadalupe county,
no report can be had for a couple of
days.
All the indications point to the fact
that the legislative ticket, both for the
council and the house, in the counties
of Rio Arriba, Taos and San Juan, is
assured to the Republicans. This means
an absolute majority in both houses of
the thirty fourth Legislative assembly.
The Republican county convention of
Dona Ana county takes place on Thurs
day, 25th inst. From all indications a
strong ticket will be nominated, al
though there is quite lively fight over
the sheriff's office. The principal candi-
dates are Jose Lucero and Ben Will
liams. 1t is believed that this difficulty
will be satisfactorily settled, and that
the county will be sure to give a Re-
publican majority.
Hon. B. S. Rodey addressed a large
and enthusiastic audience at Springer
on Monday night. His speech was re-
ceived with enthusiastic applause, and
he made very favorable impression on
the people. The news from Colfax
county is that the Republicans have
nominated a first-class ticket, and the
chances for Republican majority are
good. This is good news, indeed, as Col
fax county has been one Of the rock
ribbed counties of the unterrified De-
mocracy.
Hon. B. s. Rodey is in Las Vegas to-
day, and will address the Republicans
tonight. Governor Otero is also there,
and both attended the Republican coun-
ty convention held there to-day. From
Las Vegas Mr.. Rodey and Gov. Otero
Twill make campaign tour through San
Miguel, Guadalupe and probably Mora
counties. Mr.. Rodey Is working hard,
and Governor Otero is doing his level
best to secure his election.
Hon. T. B. Catron was in Albuquer-
que a couple of days last week for the
purpose, it is said, Of endeavoring to
prevent fusion between what is called
the Perea-Otero independent faction
and the Democrats. He did not succeed,
as the Democrats and the Perea-Otero
Independent faction held their conve1-
tion on Saturday and fused, and as a
greater part Of the legislative ticket
from Bernalillo and Mckinley counties
was given to the Democrats. The New
Mexican's reports, however, state that
the regular Republican ticket in Ber-
nalillo county is sure Of election by at
least 600 majority. Mr.. Catron's inftu-
ence in Bernalillo county politics, which
at one time was great, during the past
few years seems to have disappeared.
A correspondent Of the New Mexican
who has just returned from northeast
ern New Mexico, reports the political
outlook as most excellent. The Repub-
licans seem to have made great gains in
Colfax county, and it IS believed that
both Colfax and Mora counties will so
show on election day. San Miguel coun-
ty is also reported to be in much better
shape for the Republicans than for
many years, and will give substan-
| tial Republican majority. There can be
no doubt whatever of the election OF
Mr.. Rodey on November 6 next, as the
New Mexican's reports from all parts
Of the territory, even from the strong
Democratic counties, are most favor
able. The New Mexican's reporters are
alert and bright, and know what they
