SILVER CITY. n. Mex, April H.
The democratic territorial convention
which meets here Wednesday promises
to be one OF the best attended gath
erings of the party ever held in the
territory. Reports received from the
the different counties are to the effect
that in the majority of cases there
will be solid delegations, and even
those from the nortn, Notwithstanding
the long distances, will be well repre-,
sented.
The interest which is being taken is
due to two causes. In the first place
seyaral of the counties have endorsed
"favorite sons" for delegateship hon.
ors, and the contest in this connection
will be quite lively. This Is espe-
cially true in the fifth judicial dis
trict, where the candidates are Hon.

district, Judge N. B. Laughlln, from
the first district, Hon. II. b. Ferguson
for delegate at large and Antonio Lu-
cero. The principal contest in the con.
vention will come up over the ques-
tion OF instrucing the delegation In
favor Of Hearst. Several of the coun-
ties have pledged their delegates to
this end, but In the majority OF in
stances strong Hearst resolutions have
been passed without specific instric-
tions. II is understood that the Hearst
men will be here In force, and will
make the strongest kind of a fight for
the delegation, while many Of the lead.
ers will maintain the position that
the delegates must not be commit.
ted 10 any candidate at the time. and
will try to conciliate the Hearst sup.
porters by formal resolutions.
The people Of Silver City and Grant
county have made ample provisions
for the entertainment OF their visitors.
Arrangements have been made with

senger and Pullman service will be
had between Deming and Silver City,
instead OF the regular mixed train.
