Failure of Sheriff Antonio c. Or
tiz to receive the nomination 10
succeed himself, the unexpected
nomination of ID. A. Macpherson
for assessor, and a brief ADDRESS
by William Jennings Bryan were
the outstanding features OF the

terday in Society hall, Old Alou-
querque.

1870 delegates, who cast 1877 votes.
1t was the most largely attended
gathering Of democrats held IN
the county in several years.
The temporary officers selected
by the county committee and after
wards made permanent, were w,
&C.. Oestreich, chairman; Leonardo
Huning, Cipriano Sanchez, Mrs. e.
E. Booth, vice chairmen, and Mrs.
Earl Bowdich, secretary.
Business Men Recommended.
r. McClughan, acting as spokes-
man of a committee appointed by
the Albuquerque Business Mems
association, declared that the bus
mess men, feeling that the coun-
tvs affairs should be administered
by men of ability who would put
the county's welfare above political
considerations. had named n COM
mittee Of six to call on the two
county conventions. THE business
men feel that the time has come
for y, business administrator OF
county affairs" said Mr.. Clughan,
'and they Will vote for men who
will give such an administration,
regardless of party lines"
The committee was assured by
Chairman Oestreich, that the only
aim of the democratic party ia
Yesterdays convention was TO
nominate the hest ner possible
choosing candidates known to be
qualified. Mr.. Oestreich also was
a member of the business mems
committee, which was composed
of Mr., McClughan, Raymond Ar
chuleta and himself. 1t is under
stood that the other three mem
bers OF the committee, who are
republicans, will carry an identical
message to the republican county
convention.
