date for delegate to Congress at the
hands of the Democratic voters of the
Pecos valley, will not go before the
Democratic convention, which is in
session here today.
Larrazoio of Las Vegas has the
nomination cinched and the bosses
who are back of him will shove his
nomination through. Just how the
deal was fixed up is not public yet
but the bosses this afternoon are
quietly giving it out that Hinkle and
his friends have laid down. and will
not fight on the floor Of the conven-
tion.
The deal was fixed up at a meeting
of the central committee this morn
ing. There is considerable dissatis-
faction among the Pecos valley con-
itngent but several of their leaders
are beseeching them to wait-as they
have in the past, for the usual prom
ises have been made. In other words
IT is understood If they are good and
permit the leader of forlorn hopes to
walk off with the nomination they
will get something else in the sweet
bye and bye.
1t Is the same old deal but the har-
mony of 1t Is rather doubtful COM
modify this year.
The central committee held a meet
ing this morning, followed by ses-
sion of the bosses, at which the slate
was manufactured. The convention
finally came to order at 1880 O'Clock
at the call of Chairman A n. Jones.
Mr.. Jones' speech was brief and to
the point 1t promised the annihila-
ton of the Republican party in the
territory, and brought forth the usual
applause.
The call was then read by Secre-
tary w. b. Walton of Silver City, who
Is playing a conspicuous part in the
effort to harmonize the party.
Mr.. Walton was at one time con-
sidered good timber for delegate but
refused to consider the nomination.
The Invocation was delivered by
Rev. j. w. Smith, pastor of the NJ. Il.
church of this city.
Mayor q. A. Richardson then hand
ed over the keys to the city in a
clever speech, which won him favor
with every delegate. Antonio Joseph,
a veteran of Taos county politics, re-
previously prepared came into evil
dence when the central committee
recommended the selection of Il. V.
Chaves of Bernalillo and Il. X. Scott
of this city as temporary chairman
and secretary, respectively.
MIR. Chayes made an elaborate
speech in which he centcred all his
eloquence on plea for harmony. The
plea caused several tired, tired signs
from the Pecos valley Democrats, who
have been the most harmonized
Democrats in the southwest recently.
The usual committees were then
appointed. consisting Of one delegate
from each county. II was noticeable
that the men who went on these COM
mittees-particularly permanent Or
ganization and resolutions, were just
the men the bosses would have chosen
had they been doing it,
The convention then took a recess
until o'clock this afternoon. 1t is
apparent this afternoon that the con-
vention viii hold over until tomor-
row and possibly until Friday.
1t may be safely said that the del
egatcs TO the Denver convention will
go instructed for Bryan. This is one
thing which the Pecos valley has ac-
ompiiShed, as its delegates have /
stood pat on the Bryan question, al +,
though several of the bosses are not |
over enthusiastic. The campaign |
manager for Governor Johnson Of |
Minnesota, who is here. has learned |
more about Democratic politics in |
New Mexico than he ever knew be |
fore. lie was given a pleasant seat |
near window, where the nice cool |
breeze BILE" in, and was permitted to |
watch the workings OF the bosses |
slate. His presence was not exactly |
resented but he received no encOur-
agement.
1t is not likely that the Denver del
agation will be selected before tomor-
row and It is probable that the farce
ji nominating Larrdzolo will not lake
place until that time.
The delegates responded nobIy with
bursts Of applause as each silyery-
.'ngued one. mentioned the Peerless
Leader and the big rink where the
convention Is being held, was filled
'.lh delegates and spectators.
