The Leadville Eclipse has taken a
very curious position on the senatorial
succession in, Colorado. 1t strangely
| advocates q demand that Senator Tel
Ter resign in favor of Gov. Pitkin. The
| reasons for this remarkable demand are
| given as follows: /. That Mr.. Teller
did not carr the seat, and is not the
choice of either party, or people. 2. That
he has already enjoyed the honor long
enough to satisfy any legitimate ambi-
ton. 3. That as a matter Of justice,
the position he now holds belongs to
southern Colorado, which section has
only one choice. 4. That rs a matter
of policy, a pledge in advance of the
nominating conventions that this was
to be done would help to mollify the new
political power, and might save the
northern counties from virtual ostra-
cism; and 5. That such a result would
prove of inestimable benefit to this
state.
