also says the excursionists were
very kindly received and cour-

ored people behave themselves
they will be well received
and kindly treated by the whites.

DENVER, COLORADO. SATURDAY. DECEMBER

away with me to sunny Mexico the
recollections of the honestyand manly
worth of many of these despised ones of
earth's nobility, who are grandlY doing
the work given them to do, and te
whom the great Master will pronounce
that noble eulogy: Well done thou
good and faithful servant; thou hast
earned the right, by laboring to pro-
mote life, to eat of the tree of life which
grows in the paradise of God.
But there are few who hope to
leave behind without regret, who have
never been able to appreciate honest
worth in any man, who believe all men
to be as mean, cunning and dishonor,
able as they know and feel themselves to
| be: who have laid to my charge pri-
; vately. and may do publicly after my
departure, some things to which no hon
orable man would stoop and which these
men believe in their hearts I would not
do, as the records of my past life would
all disprove and they know me better.
Brothers, one and all, in taking my
farewell of you, as IN the past 80 in the
future, what is for my interest is for
yours also: we 60 to help prepare a
place for you, and should other helpers
fail you IN the unseen future, when the
clouds are dark and earth BIZ cheerless
and desolate-as it is more likely to be
in the future than in the past-brother-
hoods will fail you in your hour of need
as they haye failed me; sacred obliga
tions 60 for nothing-your only saliva
ton then will be found under better
form Of government, which shall secure
to the producers their right to all the
fruit of their labors; where equity shall
be meted out to all individuals alike,
man, woman and child: where every
suitable employment at ali times and in

be protected from monopolistiC greed,

Voured by some wealthy usurer; who

state where men and women shall stand
upon an equality before the law, receiv-

women shall no longer be considered as

caprice or disposition may dictate.
Such place will you find in Pacific
City, Sinaloa, Mckee, where the slave
shall be free from his master, and where
we hope to greet many a former friend,
who may have become dissatlsf ed with

heart may Yearn for nobler and more
correct life; he whose soul has become
sick with hollow shams and promises of
a better life beyond the grave, while
here we and our children know what it

The Result of Judioious Advertising.

About thirty days since NJ. NJ Williams (the
young and enterprsing grocer, who was located
on the South Side, and who was known over the
city as the leading advertiser in his line) moved
to his present location, No. SO West Washington
street. The past month has demonstrated fully
the wisdom of his venture, for, by getting into a
more central location, his new place has, without
exageration, been crowded daily with patrons to
such extent that it has been difficult to at
tend satisfactorily to their wants Fortunately
Mr.. Williams never gets left. and he has leased
his other room by archways, thus giving him the
largest and most complete grocery and family
supply house in the city. Mr.. Williams is to be
congratulated on the big trade he has found him
self overwhelmed with. If there is judicious
advertiser in the city Mr.. Williamsi is one His
enterprise is reaping it's own reward.

Won't Face the Issue.

So eager are the democrats to escape
the real issues of the pending campaign
that some of them try-like the New
Age-to go back nearly a quarter OF a
century to revive long exploded scandals
and calumnies. Grover Cleveland's ad-
ministration is on trial-not the paper
credit rumors of the war period.
Those rumors and all the
scandals and sensational stories con-
nected with them were Investigated by
two Legislative Committees and finally by
Special Commission composed OF
majority of democrats. Every fact YVES
brought to light and the doings Of every
person connected with the matter ex-
posed TO view. No legal prosecution
no formal censure, no inculpahon
followed. The whole matter was
buried years and years ago, and the New
Age might now as well bring up the old
issue of the Alien and Sedition laws OF
John Adams, or the SINS OF the Blue Light
Federalists of the War of 1872. These
things all belong to the dead past
and have no connection with the living
present. This is tie year 1886 and we
propose to show that the Cleveland de-
mocracy are not worthy of the confidence
of the people of Maine. The New Age
will wiggle and squrm and try to escape
the real issue-but it cannot succeed in
doing it.
