The semi-weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1882-1886, 1885-04-29

The coming man in Colorado is
just now receiving considerable
notice down that way. The coming
man down there means a Reputli ,ap.
Those best informed believe that the
old party leaders are dead. Hill. by
odds the ablest of them all, ss able
and honorable a man ss ever sat in
the Senate, has suffered in pr. stige
by bis recent defeat. Then, too, he
has wearied of politics and would
probably not have be n in the last
race but for consideration OF his
friends. Bowen, one of the pres ent
Senators, has no chance Of reelection.
He is a b~latherskite: a cheap dema-
gogue, who was greatly overrated.
His career in the Senate is disgust
irg the people of Colorado; his
speeches, q. tally that on silver, are
ridicu1ed all over the State. Belford
has drowned his magnificen mt talents
and his future in the cup that
exhilarates. Teller. the other Sena-
tor, will be out Of politics as

Department.. Symes: the present
Congressman, has nothing to recon-
mend him to public favor except a
plethoric pocket-b box, a pompous
manner and a red head. The latter
is the only resemblance between him
and Be,ford. The latter, however,
had brains. Tabor Is no longer a
pol tical factor. Pitkin is cut OF the
question: be- ause of ili~health. Chill
colt was always sver-estlmated; he
is a political nonenti.y. Evans Is a
chronic bolter and grumhler, with
too many sxes to g'ind. His son'in-
law, Judge Gilbert, lacks the elements
of popularity and suffers from a sus-
pleion that he is "a bag CT wind"
Hamill, who deserves anything the
party can give him. Was bonn under
an unlucky political star. He has
no chance in the future. Eaton, the

So none of the old leaders are avail
able. Anew man must ba found.
He must be a young man, who will
command the followingot the young
element. He must be a man OF
nerve and of fire, who can enkindle
enthusiasm. He must be a man OF
ability, wha can sway the masses.
He must have the courage of his con-
victlons so that he may attract the
people and win Their respect. He
must be honest so that ne may have

must be fearless and independent
