The Fremont County record., 1882-08-26
(,orrespondence.

s'aHuihS tue low STauc cPcihcse
which have been SO freely INDUCED
in by one of your contemporaries, the
Cniion City RECORD is duly received
and welcomed as our regular republic
can weekly visitor, and SO long a.
you fulfill your promise to keep your
RECORD clean from personalities you
can set us down as one OF your re-
gular and permanent subscribers.
When the press becomes SO prosti-
tuted as to indulge in personalities
and stoops to misrepresent the con-
duct and injure the motives ofour bes,
citizens, the characters of whom are
above rcproach, to crafty its malig-
nifty or to accomplish its political
ends, then it is utterly unworthy the
support and patronage of all decent
and respectable citizens.
In recent issue of the Canon City
Reporter my attention was arrested
by slanderous article headed, the
ls placed in no enviablc. position be-
fore the readers of the Reporter. He
is represented as being slaughtered
by the republican convention held at
Canon City last fall and in conse-
quence of that painful operation be-
came inconsolable and that it rcquir-
ed The combined wisdom of the mo
guls" of said party to devise. a re-
medy whereby the injury inflicted
might be repaired. AS represented
by the Reporter a gold headed cane
and important office was the pan ,eea
prescribed by the "Moguls" of the
party. The gold headed cane was
presented and for fear that the office
should not be secured as promised,
the editor of that delectable sheet
(fhe Reporter) extends his sympathy
to and is much concerned Tor the
welfare of Mr.. Lobach.
Now what are the facts in the case.
your correspondent was delegate
to said convention and we know
whereof we testify when we say that
Mr.. Lobach allowed his name to- 90
before the convention only at the
earnest solicitation of his friends, a
majority of whom composed the best
element of both parties. His defeat
in said convention was not brought
about by the party but by a certain
clique, some of them not members
of the.cOnvention, who used all their
influence, if not their money, both in
caucus and convention for the grati-
fication of personal spite which in
their breasts far outwcighcd the in
terests of either county or party, as
there is not the least doubt but that
fSfr. Lobach was the first choice of
large majority of the voters Of Fre-
mont county.
say without fear of successful
contradiction that since the organic.
alton of Fremont county no COM
missioner has served its interests
l .iI-------s a
ticently than has Ed. Lobach. And
the gold headed cane with all its
"hcaling virtues" was contributed to
and presented by the most respecta-
bic citizens of Fremont county, irres-
pective of party, for acknowledged
ability and real worth. The Repor-
ter can afford to spare his pity and
his deep concern for the welfare OF
Mr.. Lobach, aud extend the same
pity and manifest the deep concern
tor the welfare of another man in Of
flee, who, if rumor be true and our
faith in it is well founded, was In u
state OF inebriation during the whole
time that lie was on duty. He fs
therefore well qualified as u candi-'
date to represent the worst clement
of Fremont county in the next legis-
lature, an office to which he Is aspir-
ing.
In times like these of fraud and
bribery, when our conventions arc
largely manipulated by sche mers
and wire pullcrs in order to accom-
plish their personal ends or to CRAFTY
their ambition, it is consolation to
know that there arc some names
above suspicion, above the demoraliz-
ing influences of monopolies and
money. And among these we are
happy 10 present the name OF Ed.
Lobacli as our choice ut least, to re-
present Fremont county in the next
legislature. The Reporter to the con-
trary, Notwithstanding.
