worked up and r. ny ciCizens, who had
never before attended such political
gatherings We're present. Every

very decisive victory. There had been

ing on for several weeks past for the
city precinct delegations to the county
convention, which meets here tomor-
row. On the one side were arrayed
the.friends of Governor OterO who de-
sired him to go as a delegate-at-large
from New Mexico to the Chicago Re-
publican convention; on the other
