YOUNG MAN, STAY EAST,

| must confess that I have beer
much disappointed. Denver is a busy
town, but outside this place
there is not much of Colorado. You
may believe as much as you please
about Utica people doing we'll here
and set the rest down as all talk
nothing more. For instance: / met
a carpenter here who is we'll known
to you on Genesee street He re.
ceiyed 1926 per day in Utica; here
he gets S2 so per day. 1t cost him
81 per week to live in Utica; in Den
yer 81 30 per week at the lowest. and
not as good as You can live in Utica
for SO. All whom | have heard Of
from Utica as doing we'll, with one
exception, would gladly be back in
Utica it it was not for pride or fear
that they could not get their old jobs.
| met a young man the other day
driving a dirt cart at $40 per month.
| remember him in Utica, a proud,
nobby chap. who would hardly rec
onlze o COMMON person. His parents
are well to do, but he is ashamed to
go home again. After living here q
short time, young fellows do not care
to leave, as they frequently get in
loose habits. Gambling seems to be
the most profitable business, and
leads everything else from the news
Boy up to the merchant. There are
5000 people in Leadville dead broke'
and they are dying by the DOZENS
The road from here to Leadville is
lined with prospectors, gamblers,
bunko stoeres, cut throats and thieves
Along the way are dead horses, mules
and bronchos, and the stencil is fear
full. Nearly all that have money,to
start back after staying there day
or two, but the majority "go broke
and fly to the drinking and gambling
shops to see if they can not pick up
enough to get away with. Poor
devils come here from Leadville on
every train, and present sorry sights.
lt is & shame for the veteran news
papers and railroad companies to in
duce SO many poor. people to come
here. That there is a large amount
OF wealth in minerals in the noun
tains no one can doubt, but there are
from three or four times as many
people in Colorado as it can support.
Any man who can get fair living in
the East, with the ane economy, will
make more money there than he can
here unless he happens to be fortu-.
nate enough to strike q mine-one
chance Of ten thousand. You have
heard of two menhaving a claim tLat
they had been offered $150,O0O for.
| saw one Of them to day and should
be afraid to offer him StO0 for it. |
am net exasgerating in this letter.
| have seen from fifteen to twenty
Utica men, and, with one exception.
they say that they were doing better
III. Utica than they are here. Ef you
see any person with just enough
money to get here, advise him to stay
at home and attend to his business,
be it ever so humble. | am going to
some part of the country where | can

blade OF grass, and have something
better than clouds of sand, that are

THE DUTY or REPUBLICANS.

In entering on the great political
contest of 1880 the Republican party
holds a proud and Honorable position
Whether judged by its principles or
Its, achievements, no other political
organization which has ever existed
in the United States can at all com
pare with it. Its principles have Civ
en- life and energy to one of the great
est movements of political progress
In the history of the world, and its
achievements have been a succession
OF triumphs for the honor Of the
country. and the Welfare of fhe race.
1t has preserved tie Union, abolished
slavery, createda new race of freed
men and citizens, advanced the ma
tlonal credit, elevated the national
character at hottie and abroad, and
given to the United States far high
er position among the nations of the
earth than they had ever occupied be-
fore. Coming into power after q
long reign Of profgacy and coirup-
tion under Democratic rule, in which
every energy of the government was
prostituted to the support Of slavery.
1t found an EMPTY treasury and an
organized rebellion. In the prosecu-
tion Of the war which was forced up
on 1t for the preservation of the I'M
ION, it DEVELOPED an equal capacity to
deal with civil, military and financial
affairs. 1t administered the govern
ment with degree Of craftsmanship
urparalled in our previous history.
it prosecuted the. war with a vjgor
born IN pure patriotism, and it de-
yised series OF financial measures
the originality and success Of which
have excited the admiration Of the
world. This is record to which ev-
cry Republican may fairly point with
pride, and which cannot fail to have
its effect in the approaching cam
paign.- indianapolis Journal.

The committee who have in charge
the arrangements for the celebration
of the one hundredth Anniversary Of
the battle Of Kings Mountain, Oct.
Z, 1880, have selected the orator Of
the day, Maj. j. w. Daniel, Of vir-

have accepted the plans for tie Kings

surmounted by q bronze statue Of a
continental soldier, in his hunting
shirt and bearing his flint rock rifle in
his hand. They have met with much

sed in saying that the celebration in

The N. Y. Tribune says: The ap-
'pointment of Horace MaJilard as POST
moster-General is on all accounts "a
satisfactory one. His long and use
full career in public life makes this
promotion appropriate; his excellent t
personal character is a guarantee that
he will perform his new duties accep-
tably he is q worthy representative
of the best kind of Southern Repnb-
licanism; and finally he comes from
Tennessee, which, ON account Of the
devotion ofa large portion ofits pop
ulation to the Union cause during
war is peculiarly entitled to recog-
milton from a Republican Adminis-
tration. Mr.. Maynard served con-
tinuously in Congress from 1857 to
1875, with the exception Of an inter-
val OF two years between 1863 ana
1866. President Grant sent him to
Constantinople in 1875 as Minister,
q post he still occupies. 1t is we'll
that Southern man should be but
inthe place vacated by Judge Key,
IN order that International geograph-
ical distribution Of Cabinet portfolios
may be adhered to, and in all the
South President Hayes could not we'll
find better man than the one he has
selected. Republicans everywhere
will be glad that during the impen-
ding campaign the politics Of the
Post Office Department will not be
in the least equiyocal.

WILD DOGS IN THE WEST.

For several years pack of wild
dogs have been known in the Yellow
stone Valley. They are described as
resembling a cross between wolf
and spaniel. A more savage pack Of
wolf dogs arc now reported in the
wilds Of Northwestern Nebraska. 1t
is said that about two years ago two
bulldogs joined band of wolves near
the head Of the Birdwood and have
remained with them ever since.
Within the past yeara species Of dog
wolf, supposed to be the offspring OF
the escaped bull-dags, have been COM
mitting depredations in that section.
They are said to possess the cunning
of the wolf combined with the fero-
ciousness and pluck Of the Bulldog,
and consequently much more to be
dreaded thar the common prairie
wolf, aud are far more bold and saw
age. The Deadwood Times says that
they are becoming numerous and
troublesome.

pies OF the forgeries they committed ?"
One of their tricks was to alter the
middle initial of Republican candidates
names on portion of the returns and
then count such alterations as if they
were returns for another person. Thus
In the representative return from Han
cock the letter P. in the name of Oliver
P. Bragdon was changed to B. In the
senatorial return from Berwick, the H.
in the name Of George H. Wakefield
was converted into an A. These altera-
tions were made with different kind of
ink from that used in the original re-
turns, and the clerks who made the
returns swore that the changes were
made after they left their hands. 1t
would weary you to hear repetition of
all the frauds we discovered. At the last
minute when we thought we had got to
the bottom of the business we found
that one Repubh, an representative had
been counted out by false footing in
the tabulated return of about two hun
bred votes-a trick so simple that we
had neglected to look for it. "

What the Legislative Investigation
DlSclOsed.-A Clear Statement of
Counting Out Process.


A New York Tribune reporter recent
ly interviewed Eugene Hale, who was
chairman OF the Legislative committee
that investigated the attempt to steal the
state government of Maine and the ma
lority of the Legislature, and, among
other things, secured from him the fol-
lowing clear statement of the method of
procedure of the conspirators: Some
of the expedients to which Garcelon and
his council resorted to manufacture
Fusion majority in the legislature were
amazing for their lack of decent con-
slstency and their utter recklessness.
For example, they laid down rule that
when an initial was used instead of the
full first name of a candidate on por-
ton of the tickets, such tickets should be
counted as if cast for another man. This
they applied to the Republican candi-
dates, but refused to apply to the
Fusion candidates. The same course
was pursued in regard to trihing errors
IN names. Thus III Oxford county one of
the Republican candidates for senator was
Francis W. Redlon, and in the town of
Hanover the Republican vote as shown
by the return was for Francis w. Red
lond. The governor and council refused
to count the vote for Mr.. Redlon and he
lost the vote Of the town. But In Lin
coin Plantation, in the same county,
while the Fusion candidate was Charles
Rankins, the vote of the plantation was
thrown for Charles Rankin, and the gov
ernor and council tabulated and counted
1t for Charles Rankins In Cumberland
county one of the Fusion candidates for
senator was Isaac F. Quimby. but the
New Gloucester and Raymond vote was
thrown for Isaac f. Quinby. The gov
ernor and council tabulated and counted
the vote for Isaac F. Quimby, while in
Aroostook county, where in the Ashland
district John Burnham was the Repub-
hcan candidate for the Legislature and
the vote of Ashland was returned for
John Burnam, the governor and council
refused to tabulate it for John Burn
ham"
"What did Garcelon say when you
questioned him about these perform
ances ?"
81 put the cases of Quimby and
Burnham to him. His excuse was that
he did not know any family in the state
by the name of Quinby, so he ordered
all the votes tabulated for Quimby, but
he knew there We're Burnams as well as
Burnhams in the state, so he directed the
of the vote. | will give you
one more example of the way they disre-
garded their own rules They had a
rule that the returns must by signed by
each of the town officers individually.
Under this rule, because the signatures
on the return from New-Sharon bore
some resemblance to each other the re-
turn was rejected, and, although the town
officers forwarded affidavits establishing |
the fact that each had written his own sig
nature, Republican representative was
thrown out. But in the town of Somer-
vile, in Lincoln county, where the /
signatures of all the selectmen and the |
town clerk are plainly and undeniably in /
the handwriting of the town clerk, and
when the town clerk testifies that he .
wrote them all-yet, as the vote in the .
town resulted in Fusion majority of

Last Sunday morning ten or twelve
men were in q Roseville saloon talking
about brave men. The question arose
as TO who was the bravest man in town,
when j. Berry, a painter, stepped for
ward and took that honor to himself. j..
BLAIR. to test his bravery, aske him to
step out in the street ana let him shoot
at his hat, it being ON his head at the
time. No quicker said than done. Berry
stepped out forty feet, and Blair with an
old Colts revolver, fired, making hole
through his hat about one inch from his
head. The crowd lad no more to say
about bravery. They changed the sub

He Turned the Tables.

There is nothing like presence of mind
after all. One dark, rainy night, last
week, old DIR. Bolts, who lives on Van
Ness avenue, San Francisco, was trudg-
ing homeward, when he discovered that
he was being logged by burly ruffian,
evidently intent on robbery. They were
in lonely part of the town, and the
man was just at his heels, when the doc
tor, buttoning his coat up to chin sud-
denly turned back and said to his pur-
suer:
"Please, sir, give me dime to buy
something to eat. | don't want to get
whisky, indeed | don't; haven't had any
thing to eat for two days"
"Great Scott" exclaimed the footpad,
repocketing his slungshot with profound
disgust, to think, here I've been pipin'
off a id pauper for over mile. And
he walked off cursing his internal luck.

HEBREW INNOVATIONS.
Radical Changes to be Introduce
ed in a Wealthy Hebrew Con-
yregatiOn of New York.

New YORK, September G.-The Trib-
,ue has the following in regard to a
change in Jewish customs:
The congregation of the Jewish Syna-
gogue Shaarai Tephilla, in West Forty
fourth street, will adopt some reform i'll
its ritual, and make some innovation in
the appearance and seating of members,
beginning at this evenings service. The
Synagogue is lofty and imposing build
ing, noticeable on account OF its lofty
dome, which rises high above the sur
rounding houses. The congregation is
composed OF many wealthy Hebrews
living on the west side OF the city. Dr.
+. De Solo Mendez is the Rabbi, and
Benz j. Hart the President OF the con-
gregation.
A spirit Of reform has been on the in
crease for some time and has finally
gained the ascendency. In the Shaarai,
Tephilla, this evening n fine organ will
send forth its strains 'Or the first time
and the voices OF the congregation will
Join with those OF the choristers. In
order to make room for family pews the
Rabbits reading desk has been placed in
front of the settings. The Rabbi will
hereafter face the people, instead OF the
altar. Both women and men will set
together, mingled, instead OF occupying
separate portions of the house. Here
tofore the men have set on the floor OF
the synagogue and the women in the
galleries. The white scarf, which male
Hebrews have worn over their shOul-
ders, will 90 out OF use. They will,
however, still wear their hats during
services.
Mr.. Hart, president OF the congrega-
ton, stated that the change in the ritual
to be introduced this evening would be
OF no great Importance, and could not
be distasteful to the strictest Jews. DR..
Mendey, the rabbi, said he was satisfied
with the change, since the congregation
wished them. He is Of opinion that they
will not be conducive to spirituality and
devotion. which the supporters OF the
new notion anticipated. Financially
they have bsen successful, rs all the sit
tings OF the synagogue have been ta-
ken
