" encouraged asd sDnplimentsd By
tho very generous assurascs Of sep
port and Friendship from our for6er
patrons In Csison City ard the county
and from our state cxcltangss. Al

supcrfluity Of newspapers publishsd
In Canon, We have no reason 20 sup-
eees 80 g ps:ss
'fscd the ItEceE1 e sSksr u g.
uinc. When We suspendsd inrfAsor
of the late daily we felt that It uas
better to step aside and give it fair
trial, knowing from our experience
that paper Of that kind could not be
made self-supporting in Canon City,
and had we continued the publication
of the RECORD during the daily's
struggle, we might have had the
blame Of its failure placed at our
door. As il is. we cannot feel respon-
sible for Its death, nor can any one
claim. with truth, that We have ever
stood in the way of any public enter
prise calculated to benefit our town
in the smallest degree. Had We
known that the daily would exist
only three months instead of six, We
might have wcrded our contract diff
ferently, making the publication of
the RECORD permissible at an earlier
date. Although our friends claimed
that VIC had right to renew directly
after the withdrawa al of the daily, we
preferred to I'LL our contract to the
letter, thereby making it impossible
for any trouble TO arise from o brok en-
agreement.
In the mcantisue another weekly
started, claiming onr old subscribers
by the contract, although the COM
pany with which our agreement was
made had nothing to dc with the lat
ter paper. Our citizens caunot look
upon US 20 an in,erioper, but recog-
nizc ssas an bid resident of Colorado,
having lived in the state more than
eleven years, the last seven of which
We have spent in this county, marcy
ing and raising our family within its
limits. lf ,nau has not an estab-
iished reputation in that time he
must be composed of poor material
''that won't wash" IL is Impossible
for us to discover what lies la the fu-
ture. The general opinion seems to
be that so many papers cannot exist,
that II win be only question of who
can stand the longest scige. We real
ize this TO s-ccrtain extent and havc
cndeavorcd to make our arrange
mcnts accordingly. Having all of
our business under one roof IL ena.
blcs us TO attend to every detail thor
oughly and economically aud with as
much ease as three men could do it,
were our affairs separate.
Our intention is to give the readers
of the EEcoRp an excellent aud re-
liable newspaper, publishing every
item of public interest. making local
news q, speciality. Our real cstate
agency brings us in contact with hun
drcds of people which enables us to
gather many newsy items which could
not be learned otherwise without an
assistant. We shall studiously avoid
making the REconp a medium
through which to air any personal
upplcasantncss aud disgracing its
columns by exposing the faults Of our
chance enemy, for the public cnlight-
enmcnt.
Zcalously supporting the good old
republican party, cndeared to us by
many har,lships, We shall never de-
viatc from our former rule, that of as.
sisting every republican nominee on
the ticket without bolt or disparagc-
mont. Although wc may have . pref
ersncc before the nomination, we
shall work exclusively for the cleo
tion Of tho mon nominated ~ united
effort Is the only means through
which our party can hope 10 succeed.
Hoping to SEQ good, honest, capable
men on our ticket, we trust TO the
sound Judgment Of our party, and
they can In turn rely upon our hearty
and unswcrvIng support.
