| Yesterday was a field day in Santa
Fe county Republican politics. There
was much excitement and 'heap mucf
talk In the forenoon the regular Re
! publican county committee, of which j
ID. Hughes is chairman, met and pre-
pared a call for the primaries and a
| county convention. Before this, how
ever was officially announced some
messages were received from T. b.
Catron chairman of the Catron faction
talked over with a view to compro-
mise, The question was considered by
the regular Republican committee and
at ! o'clock yesterday afternoon sub
committees from this and from the
Catron faction committee met and af-
ter much consultation speeches, de-
mands, propositions and counter prop
ositions, at late hour last evening a
compromise was agreed upon as fol-
lows: A new county central commit
tee to be formed and to consist of
four members of the regular county
committee, four members of the Cat
ron faction and one Republican, who
was more or less neutral during the
recent factional strife and who, in a
measure, would hold the balance of
power in the committee. 1t was also
agreed upon to divide the nominal
tions for offices as follows: The reg
ular Republicans We're to be given
those for the legislative council, one
member of the house of representa-
tives, sheriff, treasurer and ex-officio
collector, assessor and superintendent
of schools. The Catron faction to
have the nomination for one member
of the house, two county commission
ers, probate judge, probate clerk and
county surveyor. This was agreed
upon finally and a written agreement
to the above effect was signed by J.
D. Hughes, chairman of the regular
Republican committee and by r.. B.
Catron, chairman of the faction COM
mitteee.
Hughes, chairman; Amado Chaves,
David M. White and ]. d. Sena, mem
bers of the regular Republican COM
mittee; T. B. Catron, Antonio Ortiz y
Salazar, C. C. Closson and r. C. Gort-
ner members of the Catron faction
committee, and J. w. Akers as the
ninth member, who was selected by
both committees. r. G. Gortner was
named as secretary.
1t is understood that the members
of the regular Republican committee
were induced to make this great sacrf-
flee and enter into his compromise
harmony in the Republican party and
for the reason that the compromise
if effected would increase the vote for
B. S. Rodey, the Republican candidate
for delegate to congress, In this county
to very gratifying extent. The regu-
lar Republican county committee gave
up a great deal in order to bring
about this result; it's moderation and
endeavor to bring about harmony, even
y the loss of prestige, power and
II, re to be commended. AS far as
this paper is concerned, it will support
the compromise, provided it shall be
fairly kept by all concerned in spirit
and in letter, but this paper does not
at all bind itself to support any i'm
proper nominations for office. The best
men possible must be put up. 1t is
hoped that the compromise will be
honestly and honorably kept and will
prove of benefit not only to the Repub-
tax payers and property owners in
the county of Santa F'e. If this shall
be the case, it will be very gratifying
to this paper.
On another page of this issue will be
found the call for the Republican pri-
maries and the county convention for
the nomination of candidates for leg
islative and county offices. The pri-
maries will be held on Friday, the
oath instant, and the county convention
on Monday the 9th instant This
will give but a very short campaign
and this is probably for the best as
great deal of money has already
been spent in this preliminary CAM
paign and as this money spending and
use of Doodle is proving very detrimen-
tai in every respect.
