Stand Asunder.

II the people, who are to sit in jndg.
ment upon their own affairs on the
first Monday in June next, see fit to
be bewildered by the prevarications
and sophistry of Republican journals,
it shall not be our fault. We advise
and they are at perfect liberty to de-
termine. Should they hereafter have
occasion to complain of the condition
of business interests, whilst we might
regret we will have not time to weep
If the Republican party should say it
did not favor monopolies, we are sure
the people would not believe them, and
if, on the other hand, the Democracy
should indicate that they would like to
fondle and caress the railroad party,
that concern would not trust us, and
whv2 Because it would be a psint-
blank lie and they would be right.
There is no concealing the fact, by cum
ming art or other device The Demo
cratic party stands pledged to the ma
terial interest of labor and personal in
dustry. The Republican party is wed
ded to the interest of that class which
it has heretofore fostered and encour-
aged. Their fifth resolution entirely
attests that fact. Candor and not car
masnoles are what we want. There
are some rapers we do not deem it
necessary to render at ention even in
passing, but when even the smallest
cur barks 1t makes noise. We mean
not to insult our cotemporary and it
must accept none. However, why does
it pretend to say that its party is not
opposed to regulating freights> and
fares2 We will again ask, IS there any
reasonable excuse for t1e fact that in
their local and State conventions they
have repeatedly "set down" on instruc-
tions in that direction2 If apparently
unnecessary, do they not remember, in
the language of lawyers, surplusage
vitiates nothinsl If sincere, why not
say it and keep on saying itl Why
do not your candidates say it! If you
falter, if you hesitate you are unworthy
moral trust, and SO will all good, moral
men adjudge Then first, not last,
away with all tomfoolery nonsense.
Are you gong to stand by the masses
and control our present mastersl We
know there is money, plenty of it, com
ing into Douglas county to make the
ignorant voter disgrace the word ssuf-
frage," ard counter-balance the weight
of intelligence. We fully recognize the
power of cash on election day, but We
still have reliance upon the honesty and
good sense of a majority of the citizens
Of this county and State. We are on
our guard and the first buying and sell
ing we detect shall be developed, and il
the punishment should be in hell, we
shall cheerfully say, amen! altheug we
shall not be there TO witness it.

Plaindealer and the Tickets.


We have noticed the tartaric abuse
of our Democratic candidates for coun-
ty officers rendered by the Plaindealer.
and the saccharine praise of the Repu b.
lican candidates. 1t is altogether too
sweet for one and too sour for the 9TH
er, and the mixture is altogether nau-
seating. The people can't and won't
swallow it. The dose is poorly pre-
pared and cannot go down. Both
Messrs. Owens and Chenoweth are too
well known to require defense from
covert and false accusations. They are
both intelligent, enterprising and indus
trious citizens and in every respect hon
est men. Why do not their competi-
tors meet them in fair dlseussion2
The reference to Hon. J. D. Burnett
is entirely gratuitous Mr. Burnett is
well qualified in every respect and he
knows the rights Of the people from the
sordid interests of damnable monopo-
lies, and so does all our Legislative

HUNG BY VIGILANTES.
Mike Cuddihie and His Wife Strung Up
for Numbering Child by Degrees.

DENVER, Colo, January 19.-Some
three months ago, Mary Rose Matthews, a
bright, winsOme little girl, 10 years Of age,
was adopted from the Denver Catholic or
phans' home by Mike Cuddihie and wife,
living on a ranch ten miles from Ouray, a
SMALL mining town in the southern part OF
the state. A few days ago little Rose sud
denly died and was buried by the Cuddihies
in distant part Of the ranch. The little
girl was cruelty treated from the first, the
neighbors said, and her mysterious death
and hurried burial aroused their suspi-
cions, and the coroner of Ouray was mott
fed. He exhumed the body, when IN
mistakable evidences of her cruel death were
revealed. The body was covered with knife
wounds, one leg was broken and her skull
crushed and limbs frozen. she had no
doubt been driven out in the winter storm TO
die. Cuddihie and wife were immediately
arrested and jailed. Yesterday they We're
tried and found guilty of murder. About ]
O'Clock a. N. a band Of masked men went
to the hotel where Cuddihie and his wife
were temporarily held in custody, over
powered the sheriff and guard and took the
prisoners away. They both cried loudly for
mercy, but as they had ever been deaf TO
the pleadings Of little Rose for mercy. so
the vigilantes closed their ears to the cries
of the prisoners. They were taken outside
the town limits, where the woman was
hung to the ridge-pole of a vacant cabin,
while her husband was strung to the limb
of tree on the opposite side of the road.
Their work done, the vigilantes retired
quickly. The bodies were cut down and
buried by the coroner. John Carroll Cud-
dihie, brother in law, was arrested with
the others, but, for want Of sufficient evil
dence, was allowed to go. This is the first
instance of woman lynched in Colorado.
