THE DENVER TRIBUNE"
Opinion OF Its Animus from n Fremont
County Farmer.
CANON CITY, october a1, 1888

CANON CITY, October 21, 1882.
EDITOR RECORD:
VIII you allow republican to express a
few decided views in regard to the paper
herein considered +? The Denver Tribune,
with all its pretended zeal for the republic
can party, is fast becoming understood by
III, gaining for itself
Cashier, ] f Campbell ls a.ion wnien al.,I WIN
day. Any man with the Judgment of a
red Ute India1Em readily see how deep
is the Affections that paper for the party.
Almost every candidate is objected to, and
the men suggested to fill their places on
the ticket are all rlen of whose election
there could not be the slightest probability,
if substituted. If there were any chance
for them the Tribune would withhold its
support. When paper Lscomes so very
solicitous for the success of the party as
the Tribune pretends to be it would be
well for its editors to support few OF the
candidates, at least, in order to look con-
sistent.
Now let no weakened republican be de-
ceived by this traitorous sheet-this wolf
in sleeps clothing. Do not be dazzled by
the democratic greenbacks that are paying
the Tribune staff for working for the de-
feat of Campbell, in order that democracy
may rule the state. The Tribune is work
ing with might and main for the defeat of
Campbell and Belford, and if Campbell is
defeated Grant tciH be gorernor. This is
precisely the end for which the Tribune is
working, and if successful the staff will
pocket their pay and laugh loudly at the
republicans they have duped.
The greatest and blackest crime they can
find against Campbell is that he once voted
for n democratic brother-in-law-Mr Pat
terson. Now some very respectable men
are unfortunate enough to have democratic
brothers-in-law, aud sometimes are placed
in such positions as to be called upon to
vote for them. l am willing, however, to
trust to the Judgment ofhonest republicans
as to whether they shall support the
avowed enemy of their party or q man who
simply voted for an ungrateful democratic
brother-in-law.
Again, the Tribune has used all the effort
possible against the party as regards the
star route cases. Some republicans who
still believe its fabrications are in trouble
lest the party is becoming very corrupt.
Do not be distressed. The republicans are
honorable enough to apprehend their
thieves and do their best to convict them.
If there is not evidence enough to do so it
is not the fauit of the party Many other
guilty men have escaped for want of evil
dence. The democrats while in power,
thought it better to gain reputation for
purity by covering up and hiding all such
peculatlons. During the different demo-
cratic administrations vast sums were
stolen annually from the revenues and
other moneys OF the government During
the administration of Franklin Pierce about
six dollars were unaccounted for out of
every thousand coming to the treasury, and
yet large portion of the country rested
peacefully under the delusion that the
government was pure Under Hayes less
than onc-third of q cent out of every thou
sand dollars was taken. Still thousands of
democrats harped, from morning till night,
on the corruption of the government 1t
is simply q lack of information that causes
lack of faith in the purity of the party. 1t
is good sign when party has the courage
TO bring its own thieves to trial, and the
Tribune is afraid that these facts will in
jure its beloved Mr.. Grant
No thinking man will be surprised to
see this paper boldly announce its democ
racy after the election, and then the weak
knced republicans who have been influ-
eneed by it will realize the game that has
been played upon them. Republicans
must support their whole ticket, or see the
state pass under democratic rule. There
are no votes to spare for Mr.. Grant or the
other flvorites indirectly supported by the
Tribune. REPUBLICAN,.
