On January 21 Hon. Thomas Hughes,
of Albuquerque, will cease being am edi-
tor for two months, and will be
statesman for that length of time.
1t is stated that the Bernallllo county
delegation is pledged to work for I Il
kinds of railroad and labor legislation.
How true this report will be seen later
on.
The Mora county delegation will work
hard for the location of territorial in
stitution in that county. 1t is prepar-
ing to make out a strong case for that
county.
Reports float about that Representa-
tive f. H. Winston, of Sierra county,
would like an important chairmanshp
or two, the committee on railroads, f.:
instance, and one or two others.
If the delegations from Santa Fe,
Taos, Rio Arriba and San Juan counties
stand together they will present a
strong front. They are one-fourth o.
the assembly, and in union there is
strength.
The northeastern part of the territory
is very strong numerically in the as
1t will have three councilme
and seven representatives. In compact
form that delegation can accomplish
much, and it is believed it will, aus there
are some strong men among them.
1t is reported that the Rio Arrlha
delegation will endeavor to have
the appointment of translator for the
house given to Amado Ortiz, of Cha
mita. Mr. Ortiz is very good trans
Iator and the appointment would prove
very satisfactory.
Information reaches the New MeX,-
,an that Benigno Romero, of Las We
gas, is a candidate for appointment as
territorial treasurer, and Hon. Marcell- |
no Baca, of Pena Blanca, is candidate
FOR territorial auditor. There are other |
candidates for these offices, but these
rwo applicants seem to be the first III |

HON. Granville Pendleton and G. Y.
Stafford, of Aztec, San Juan county, |
start tomorrow for Santa Fe, and VIII |
arrive Wednesday evening, where they
win remain until after the Legislative
session. Mr.. Stafford, who is probat-
,lerk of San Juan county, is a candt.
late for one of the Legislative clerK-
ships.
Mr.. Stafford is an expert stenograph ar,
md competent to fill any position to
which the legislature may elect him.
News reaches this city from Albu-
luerque, Bernalillo county, that the |

nand several chairmanships, among |
hose the committees on finance, rail-
'oads and territorial affairs. OF course.

s bound to be the head of the commit.
zee on printing Bernaiillo statesmen
eem to be believers in the doctrine that
here. is not much use in hiding one
light under a bushel basket.

From appearances there will be a |
lively scrap over the extension of the |
of Mckinley county Ber-
lalillo county lis most interested, and |
he Bernahllo county statesmen maJ |
lot be willing to give up. But it is hoped |
hat wise counsels will prevail, and |
hat the white-w winged dove of peace |
will hover above and harmony will prA-
yail. Valencia county, in this matter,
t IS believed, will observe an attitude
If strict but armed neutrality.
From albuquerque comes the news
hat J. e. Saint, who served one term
rom Bernalillo county as member ct
he legislative council, will be present I'd
~ the Bernalillo delegation for chief
,lerk of the Legislative council. To the
New Mexican, however, it looks as #

member of the house and council of the

If the council, will be pushed by the So
zorro delegation, and has the inside
rack.
1t is understood that the Socorro
county delegation will push for inter-
,reter of the house. Antonio A. Sedil'o.

,oung man, an excellent interpreter, a
