Canon City for reduction works. Al

reduction works on one of the cheap

these that Canon may rely for an en-

will keep its readers posted on such
undertakings, and will give its best
efforts to their encouragement.

The following mining camps are

have been struck showing gold, sill
yer, copper, zinc, which show as rich
as in any district of the state, accord
ing to the developments made. When
the ores from these camps begin to
be treated in Canon City, as they
will in the near future, then the city
will have a business boom such as it
never had before.

The RECORD has always maintained
that Canon City was designed by ma
ture as the best place for smelling,
milling and reducing the ores OF the
surrounding country. 1t Is In the
centre of vast mineral producing
basin. The ores from every side can
be run down grade TO Canon City
much cheaper than the fuel and tluxes
can be hauled up hill from here to
the mines. Everything requisite for
treating ores is right here at hand
Including coal, coal oil, (for the Dur
yce smelter) lime, iron, etc.. for
fuxes. Now that the new processes
being tried In this vicinity, are prov
ing successful and that tho output OF
mineral In tho surrounding country
will warrant such undertakings. capi-
talists win bc quick TO avail them-

The democrats have just carried
the local elections in Lcadvillc, where
at the Democrat hoists a rampant
rooster and crows loud and long.
The republicans of Fremont county
who are in the habit of scratching
their party nominees, on some frivo-
lous or personal grounds and elect
ing democrats to the local offices,
would do well to read the following
extracts from the Lcadville Demo-
crat, on their recent victory:
Keep them on the jump, boys, now,
until the entire state is ours.
A few more such days as Tuesday
was, and we have heard the last -of
republican ascendency in Colorado.
1t was well enough to win this To-
cal fight, but its chief value consists
in its influence upon the election next
fall. In that light, it is beyond all
expression valuable to u.s. Here is
the starter for the grand victory
which viii give us a democratic gov
ernor, democratic legislature, and
please God, democratic U. 5. sena-
tor.

that the subsidy is withdrawn. He
asks:
Could not the proprietor of the
RECORD see far enough ahead to know
that to advocate the claims of Canon
for the permanent seat of govern

pocket, as well as theirs, even if there
was not the least chance to secure its
location in our midst?
This is precisely the principle that
governed the Reporter, because there
was money in it. The proprietor of
the RECORD is influenced by higher
motives. Money could not buy him
to aid in killing good cause by a
wild, incoherent and injudicious ad-
vocacy. There is not au intelligent
member of the committee. or citizen
of Canon, who does not feel that the
long windcd columns of drivel sent
out by the Reporter, interlarded with
dissertations ON the moral stamina
requisite tc get drunk and visit dance
houses, did more harm than good.
The proprietor of the RECORD con-
tribated 500 cash TO the capital cam

hall for meetings to the value of $40.

The Reporter is all "broke up be-
cause it remembers that about year
ago the RECORD called it a campaign
sheet. In view of the result of the
recent elections the RECORD takes it
all back. The Reporter is not CAM

campaign sheet. If any one thinks
il is let him ask Ben Shaffer or any of
the defeated democratic candidates.

The contest between the republi-
can and democratic candidates for
county treasurer is SO close that at
the time of going to press it is not
known which is elected. Eleven pre-
cincts give Harrison, democrat, ma
jority of /, with three precincts
to hear from. OF these Hard
scrabble is known to be re-
publican, while Texas Greek
and Parkdale are uncertain. The
chances are decidedly in favor of Mr.
Baldwin's election. This will aston
ish the Rip Van Wrinkles who did not
think any one could defeat Mr.. Har-
rison. 1t is the more remarkable
from the fact that Mr.. Harrison made
personal canvass of the county,
while Mr.. Baldwin, being sick part
of the time, made no personal CALI
vass. Had he done SO his triumph
would have been emphatic.
The RECORD has not one word TO
say against Mr.. Harrison, personally.
He is very worthy, respectable man
and made good treasurer. But this
is not the question at issue. The re-
publican convention placed in nomi-
nation just as resi- eetable and good a
man i'll every wsy. Such being
the case the RECORD maintains that
it was the duty of all republicans to
vote for the nominee of their party,
no matter how highly they niay have
thought of Mr.. Harrison.

Sucii a state of things is all wrong
and no argument is needed to point
out the weakness of the policy which
produces it. The seeds of party are
planted in these local contests and
grow up until they blossom and bear
in the presidency.
1t is best that all public affairs
should be carried on by well defined
parties which can be held responsible
for the proper administration of pub
lie business. To elect political ops
ponents to local offices because they
are neighbors or old acquaintances is
a piece of folly democrats are never
guilty of. 1t has most demoraliz-
ing effect on party management and
is simply a suicidal policy for the
party having the majority of votes.
