Democratic politicians and the

they have at last succeeded. AS it

and William e. Griffin, for treasurer.
There is no certainty as yet as to who
will receive the nomination for city
clerk, as there are dozen or two candi.
dates, each of whom declares himself
to be the best, the strongest and most
available man for the place. In the
different wards, the nominations have
not fully been decided upon. 1t Is
understood that Judge ~ B. Laughlin
will be renominated for the Board of
Education in the Second Ward; A. G.
Ireland for member of the Board Of
Education in the Fourth Ward; Ro-
man l.. Baca will likely receive the
nomination for member of the council
in the Fourth Ward; Marcelino Gar
cia, present member of the city cOun-
Gil, will be renominated for that po.
sition in the Second Ward.
The street has 1t that Manuel Delga-
do is to be the nominee for the coun-
Gil for the first ward and that Jose
Sanchez is to be nominated for the
Board of Education and Pedro Roybal
for council in the second ward. In the
third ward 1t is said that John Walk
er, present member of the City Coun-
Gil is to be re-nominated and that the
same will be done in the case of Jose
Segura, present member OF the Board
of Education. The Independent-Citi-
zens-Republican-Demo COmbina-
ton is sanguine of success and fears
neither money, power nor the devil.
The New Mexican cannot vouch for
the truth of this statement, but its re.
porters have been informed that some
coin of the realm is to be spent in
giving the voters of Santa Fe, those
who are inclined that way--a good
time. It may be that some of these
voters will say "get thee behind me
Satan and tempt me not" but some
others, the New Mexican fears, will
succumb to the temptation, should 1t
be offered them. Whether this will be
the case or not the New Mexican does
not desire to advise.
