Las Vegas, N. NJ, Sept. SO.-One of
the most inspiring meetings yet held
in the campaign was held last night at
the court house by the dyedin-the-wool
republicans. 1t was n of the most
good natured meetings, too; sort of
love feast. in which the speakers paid
their compliments to the uolters of the
republican principles. but who was
still trying to masquerade under the
old battle flag. Secundino Romero
called the meeting to order and pro-
posed a debate with margarine Ro-
nero, as he had challenged him during
the last minutes of the convention. Mr..
Romero said he wanted to debate the
records of the present administration
with Margarito. and If he could prove
that any official was not honest, he
proposed to hell Margarito throw him
down and out.
n. Segura was then elected ptesi-
dent, Gregorio Gutierrez, Damacio Ia
foya vice presidents, lgnacio Lopez,
secretary, and Patricio Gonzales in
terpreter.
Mr.. Gonzales then made a few re-
marks, in which he deplored the
stormy session, and gave the treachery
in the republican camp a flashing.
Felipe Baca y Garcia addressed the
meeting, which was one of the largest
held this campaign, the court house
being filed. He made a red hot re-
publican speech. as did Eugenio Gal
legos and was %"scrappy." He wanted
to lash them with his tongue, then give
them a polishing up with his fists. and
he wanted to be one of the committee
of FIVE proposed to go down to Mar
garito's meeting and wipe them off the
earth. Charles Spiess enjoyed Mr..
Gallegos' sentiments, but counseled de-
liberation, and to let them alone in
their path of sin.
Felipe Baca y Garcia then made a
motion that a committee of five be ap-
pointed to go down to margarine and
challenge him before the meeting to
come to the large hall in the court
house, and have a debate, by that way
to find out who are republicans and
who are not. The motion was put and
the ote was close, but moderation
prevailed, and trouble was not precipi-
tated. Cisto Armijo, OF Emplazado
next was called on and he remarked
he had notI.ng to say, but talked an
hour, and tired out two interpreters.
He spoke of the reelection bills which
had been handed out in the outlying
precincts, and the false information
they were giving out, and said that the
convention yesterday will open their
eyes, he thought, and they will see
the game that is trying to be worked
on the faithful.
Charles Spiess next introduced p. a.
Linn, one o the railroad boys, and in
introducing him said Mr.. Inns
friends. meaning the railroad boys, did
more to carry the city of East Las
Vegas tor the republicans last cleo
ton, than any other force. Mr.. Linn
made a rafting good speech. 1t was
short and to the point. He said as
had beer done in past years he would
do in the future. He told how the
dts ndu Salu ldcI tACNNiOht -
HI with the railroad men," and they
then pulled all together, 400 strong,
and elected the republican ticket, and
they would do the same with the coun-
ty ticket this fall.
Hon. Eugenio Romero next made a
motion that a committee of three be
appointed by the chair, on behalf OF
ls---t - a., aa,tnt nnnarniGCinn
ers, to confer with a committee of the
Margarito republicans, they jointly to
go before Judge Mills and get him to
authorize a committee of investigation
of the books and the paid warrants OF
the county treasurer. This motion was
made alter II was learned what Mar
garlic was spouting about at his meet
ing, making irrational charges against
the officials of the county. The con
vention, after expressing unanimous
confidence in the administration of at
fairs. and saying that they did not care
what margarine said in his ehort tC
get into office, voted down the motion
saying they were sausfed, and would
pay no attention to the u%tterings Of
persons who know nothing about
which they speak.
There must have been nearly III
unionists, democrats and boys at thu
meeting held in Buffalo hall last nigh
by Margarito Romero. Jose lgnaci'
Esquibel acted as chairman and ther'
were, as usual, a number of speeches
and ~vaporings. margarine, the chic

convention'he could not do as he want
ed to; did not have the liberty he dc
sired. He said he wanted to get tc

words, have his way. He took a 10
