Denver.
Colorado Letter.

Soto'euo kebss
The citv Of Denver 10 quito . beautiful
one. It's streets are broad. level and
well shaded with cottonwood trees, and,
though made OF the native soil, are a.
durable and almost a. hard % the best
paved streets Of Eastern cities. Streams
OF water run on all the streets during
the summer time, a. all vegetation must
DO kept alive by irrigation. for very little
rain falls here. Q slight shower q month
ago being the irst for about ten months.
Considerable snow fell during the win.
ter, and some only . few days ago. The
mountains, from sixty to eighty miles
away. with their snow.orownsd peaks,
form q silver. trimmed horizon from the
south round to the northwest, making .
beautiful background for The black, dull
foothills, fifteen or twenty miles distant.
Looking from the east end OF . street
westward, Il ssems a. though the city
ran straight up TO the hills. On . clear
day Longs Peak, sixty miles 70 the
northwest, seems 90 near that one can
scarcely realize that Il would be . very
long walk TO II. Pixies Peak, 10 the
south. has always hsd the appearance Of
being far Of. although only fifteen miles
further away than Longs Peak. AL.
though usually healthy, II has been
quite sickly here this winter and spring;
but the great majority Of the oorpses (of
which several 60 back on almost every
Eastward. bound train) come from Lead.
vile and the mining camps. Almost
everyone on coming here 10 sick for .
while. None but strong. healthy per.
sons should come here TO stay, or at
least during this time Of the year. And
to all Eastern men who have steady,
honest employment, but are thinking Of
coming to Colorado in hopes Of getting
rich faster, I say, remain where you are.

ist on the Comstock. His pub
lishsd writings on the silver question
and similar subjects have also brought
him into prominent public notice, and
this. his unexpected ending. sssmsall the
more abrupt and inappropriate, even to
intimate friends. His was . very pecu.
liar and sensitive temperament, and
financial misfortune and ill.success in
business, combined with silent grief
over the loss Of dearly beloved ones
from his homo circle. crowding
heavily upon his declining years
and health. the load was evidently
too much for him. His proud spirit
broke Of last. and he sought relief in
death by his own weak hand. What
ever we're his faults. he was the greatest
sufferer. and hs has voluntarily carried
his own cause into the great court Of the
Eternal. before whose dsoisions all must
bow In humble submission.

THE o.EsuBAcK.LAsoR PREsl.
DENTAL CANDIDATE.

General James B. Weaver. Of Iowa,
Who VS. nominated for President BY the
National Convention Of the Grssnback-
Labor party ct Chicago on Friday last 10
forsy.ssvsn years Of age. and . native Of
Ohio. He evidently had more friends In
that Convention than Ben Batisr had.
for he was nominated BY . very heavy
majority on the hrst ballot, and only
ninsty.Avs votes out Of the 724 oompri.
sing the Convention were given to But
Ter, leaving Weaver the lions share.
He 10 . lawyer by profession. has . good
war record, and has..sssn considerable
civil and political service, and experiences

District Attorney in one Of the extremely
rural districts Of that State. and was
elected q Q "National" in 1878 in the
Sixth Iowa Congressional District BY .
majority Of 1000. though the district In
1876 went Republican BY 1000. There
Wa no Democratic candidate In the dis
trict. the Democrats having united on
the Grssnback nominee.
In the matter Of the Presidency, how.
ever. the Democrats will hardly unite In
indorsing and nominating Weaver. a.
they have sundry candidates of their own

The effect OF unlimited silver coinage
could but have . dsbasins effect upon
silver currency. and subject IL to all the
fluctuations OF the silver market. As to
the clause advocating NO restriction OF
the right Of suffrage. that surely ought
to meet with the approval Of Ksarnsy
and his communistic horde.
