Living in Tents In Denver.

Although one may find q first-class
quality of civilization in Denver, yet
one may also look upon the primitive
side of life in the Queen City of the
Plains. Within ten minutes walk of
the handsome and high-toned hotels
one may find people with no other pro-
lection from the rude weather than q
tent, and no other beds than rudely-
constructed hunks. The number of
persons who live in tents in Denver is
really surpris:n Indeed. those who Ell
ther from choice or necessity are follow
ing this primitive mode of existence in
this city would make a agood-sized town.
for at the lowest estimate there are
5000 persons living this wild life in the
suburbs of Denver. In many parts of
the city, notably in the far end of-West
Denver and along the drives leading
to the Fair Grounds and Central Park.
these tents are pitched in numbers and
proximity that make the collection look
like village. There are also many
tents in the river bottoms. That these
people will not always live in tents NO
one will dispute. AS soon as builders
shall see the need of erecting conve.
nient houses that may be rented at q
moderate price. these tents will find
their way to secondhand shops. The
number has not yet, however, begun to
decrease. (C0i.) Tribune.

The spasmodic action of our railroad

wind. Contracts involving railway

by the railroads may be something near

towns "bobs" up or down at their
pleasure. Frequently they purchase
large tracts of land in and about certain
towns, and after locating their "rail-
road shops" and putting up the price
of real estate $50 or 200 per cent, sell
out, move their shops to another town,
where they own real estate, and leave
the people of the former town to re-

In The Press of August II, an old
office seeker and holder, who owes his
political success to charitable sympa-
thy, seems. to act as spokesman for
Mr.. Nixon, the so-called Democratic
candidate for Treasurer.
Not being satisfied with the dishon-
orable manner in which they sold out
Clayton township to McGonigle. they
attempt to hide their infamy by false
hood which we will prove at some fu-
ture time.
Will "Clayton Township Demo-
crat" or the Democratic? candidate for
Treasurer answer the following ques-
tions in regard to Mr.. Nixon's past
career:
1st. Has he not openly electioneered
against q portion of the Democratic
county ticket twice in the past thret
years!
Did he not canvass Monrot
township against Michael Crosbie wht
was the Democratic nominee for Sher
ia? .r ,..s &c.. q
Did he not after agreeing with The
other candidates on the Delegates Il
represent Clayton township have {
private meeting at his house with Nc
Gonigle and change the delegates u
suit himf
Did not he trade the delegation Of
at that meeting!
We want these questions answered
and will not be put of by either silenc
or evasive answers.

Wherever Greenbackers have put
ticket in the field they have chosen for
their representatives men of ability, of
honesty, and with records which can
bear the closest scrutiny.
In Ohio, John Seitz is the author of
the Seitz law, which was passed after
bodied his war then and now upon the
corrupt means used to influence legisla-
tion by corporations. He is Q man
eminently fitted by his experience in
public duties to become the Executive
of Ohio. No purer man, none with a
more patriotic record, can be found in
his State. A politician in the trne
sense, he has devoted the years of his
prime to bettering. the political condi-
tiens of that State of Office seekers.
The voters of Ohio can fulfill the duties
of their franchise by voting for John
Seitz, and his co-nominee, Mr.. Jen-
nings. Both are well calculated to
rescue that State from the hands of
monopolists and usurers.
In Wisconsin the name of General
Allis carries weight with it. A large
manufacturer and an active business
man. he knows by practical experience
the wants and comedies the rights of the
workingman. He knows, and is honest
enough to acknowledge their suprem-
acy over mere money in forwarding en-
terprise and bringing production to its
full capacity as a help and elevator to
mankind. He has also studied the
financial question, and is well able to
champion its principles as applied by
the. National party. A forcible speaker
and an ardent worker. General Allis
cannot fail to worthily fill the place to
which we hope the popular vote o.
Wisconsin will elect him. David Gid
dings, of Fond du Lac. is second on the
ticket, and is equally strong in the
State, though perhaps not so vel
known by Greenbackers abroad.
In Iowa Hon. ID. M. Clarke and Hon
James M. Holland present an equally
honest and capable record. Mr.. d. NJ
Clarke, of Wayne County, is known t
be neither demagogue nor professional
politician, but man of brain, of broaG
views, a hard worker, and man wht
does not himself aspire to official posi-
ton. He has been called by the people
to the prominence he now occupies be
fore them, and we know that the goot
citizen, the clear thinking farmer o
Iowa, will be staunchly supported a
the polls. For Mr.: Holland. as candi
date for Lieutenant-G Governor, more cal
be said than his opponents will be abl'
TO answer.
Every one of these men are fearless
honest, and devoted to the cause. Sup
port them with will, fellow Greeu
hackers, and seat three Greenback Gov
ernors who will give back something O
primitive dignity, simplicity. and al
the old-time honesty to executive ad
ministration in their several States

Second-That the bonds Of the United

of the Legislature and all other officers

Eleventh-That ihe practice Of turn.
