falthfully reported the proceedings oil
both the Republican and the Democrat
&c territorial conventions, held In Santa
Fe during the past week, than any 9th
er newspaper in the territory. These
exhaustive reports cost much labor and
/. good deal of money; but the manage
ment had the requisite liberality and
wisdom to say to reporters and printers,
Proceed with your work. The New
Mexican is newspaper, the people OF
all parties depend upon it for the facts
in it's news columns, and they must pos
itively not be disappointed" Such were
its sensible instructions to reporters.

vention took a recess for one hour yes
obliged to send it's forms to press in or
der to catch the southern mail At that
hour eight ballots had been taken for
delegate, and a deadlock was disclosed.
On the ninth ballot Judge Fall cast the
ten votes of Dona Ana county for An
tonic Joseph, and the result was: Mar
ron, s.; Larrazolo, 6S; Joseph, 38. On
| the tenth ballot the votes of Dona Ana

only change.
The eleventh ballot resulted as fol-
lows: Marron, 56; Larrazolo, 64; Joseph,
2S; Fall, 4; H. M. Doherty 10.

A recess was then taken for one hour
and the convention went into caucus.
The, caucus, from which the public
vtban xcluded, was protracted until
nhv ~ o'clock, and the wrangling
! therein clearly demonstrated that the
delegates from the southern counties
J were arrayed against those from the
northern counties. Finally the Taos and
Rio Arriba county delegations decided
to abandon Joseph in favor Of LARA
zolo. The Santa Fe county delegation
Immediately followed suit. These
changes gave Larrazolo large major
ity and terminated the controversy.
When the doors were again opened
and the convention resumed its WORK.
Neill B. Field, of Albuquerque, in be-
half of the Bernalillo county delegation,
moved that O. A. Larrazolo, of Las We
gas, be declared the choice Of the con-

support of Democratic principles and
Democratic ideas. t-saching the proper
conduct OF Territorial affairs. Unques-
tionably he possesses in an unusual de-
gree the gift of CAB essential to max
