THE Denver Evening Times, anxious to read the political barometer of the state of Colorado, so far as 1t related to the presidential timber of the Republi- can party, addressed a circular letter to l32 leading Republicans of the state, in cluding officials and influential private citizens, ss to theIr presidential prefer ence. Of the seventy-tbree answers re- ceived ftty-tTo were for Blaine for PresI- dent. four for Sheridan, three for HBs- ley and two each for sherman, Lincoln and Oonkling. These preferences repre- sent the first choice. The second choice stood as follows: John Sherman, IS; Senator Hswley, $; Robert T. Lincoln, i, Senator Ingalls,, 3; James c. Blame, 2, and one each for Senator Allison, Chsuncey NJ. Depew, Roscoe COnkliDg, W. T. Sherman, Senator Cnllon, Gov ernor Forsker. eX-Senstor Hsrnson, Judge GreGhsm, and General Sheridan.
 As may be seen. says the Times. the preference is almost unanimous for Mir. Blaine. For second choice there Is d. vision. By analyzlng the poll it may be readily understood why this sentiment should exist. These men are the gntithe- sis of each other on the monetary ques- tion, and yet they are recognized as the foremost candidates. The nomination of Sherman is regarded in tbe light of po- licy. Next to Mir. Blaine be is considered the strongest man. Yet, while Colorado hopes less from him than from Mir. Blaine, his nomination would receive the cordial support of every Republican in the state.
 All the names mentioned have certain elements of strength. They are all strong Republicans, and the choice of any one of them, if Mir. Blsins's nomin- atIon should not be assured, would be satisfactory not only to Colorado, but to the country st large. In short, let the ticket be wha: it may. We believe 1t will win.

It will chsrse nothing for transportation, and will sell the wheat at cost, taking notes from the farmers, due In one year at three per cent. This Is a grand and msgnsnimous action on the part of the Santa Fe company, and one worthy of emulation by the Southern Pacific, 6 road that counts its wealth by the mil lions and one that could well afford to do good deed in the furtherance of this or similar charity.

 HoS. VIM. R.

While, .perhaps these views may not, on the whole, be endorsed, there is still much ID them worthy of careful consideration by both people and congress.
 First, in the honest payment of our old "spolistion" claims, which have been so many times favorsbly passed upon by previous congresses. Second, in establishing qn American system of national education to elevate the prOdi- gious masses of provincial ignorance and illiterscy. Third, to build and set ahost 6 navy that by respectable com person, will place us alongside other first-clRss maritime nations. Fourth, in establishing a merchant marine that will enable us to transport our own agricultural, mineral and mechanical products. Fifth to build and erect torti- fcstions along our Atlantic and Pacific coasts and upon the borders of our great chain of northern lakes to guard us against foreign invasion. Sixth, for improving the nsvigsbilitY of our Miss issippi, Missouri, Ohio and other splen- did rivers. Seventh, to establish great international waterway from lhe St. Lawrence on through Lake Michigan and the Mississippi river to the Gulf of Mexico; snd eighth. cut 8 mighty ship canal, each through the Isthmus of Panama on the west, snd the peninsula of Florida on the east, whereby tbe great highway route of the worlds com merce may be shortened over 10000 miles in its onward course, and more than SlC0,000000 may be annually saved to toiling humanity; thus making our great United States absolute mistress of the earth,

4 NUMBER of our Democratic ex- changes have been filled with e1ultstion over the reply of Senator McKenna of West Virginia, to John ShermRn's tariff rebuke to the President, but if the Ma tional Republican be accepted as au- thority in the premises this seeming ex- tolerance of joy was but to ma tie their grief and hide their disappointment over what they fondly imagined would be 6 fruitful victory. McKenns in the first place, undertook a big contract when be appeared as the defendant of free trade ss the administration policy as West Virginia is just on the eve of pros perity, growing out of protecsIon. The Presidents free trade policy ID full operation would retsrd it's development ss no other calamity could. Senator McKenns's violent championship of scheme to ruin the system which his people are just beginning to profit by and appreciate is an exhibition of that sort of madness with which the gods are suid to inspire those whom they would destroy very early.
 In the next place Senator McKennR displayed very immature judgment Tn hls assault on Senator Sherman. Itwss probsly his first appearance in wrestling with a powerful thrsshiDg machine. When the West FirginIan emerged from the ruin he was R very much shattered statesman and must have yeRrned for deep solitude in which to hate himself.
 The hearty manner in which Senator Sherman again accepted the challenge of the President, ss seconded by the West Virginia sepstur. to a campaign of free trade against protection to home in dustries, will be bsIled as s good omen by the Republican party at large. and no where more gladly than in the Yir- ginias. The Senator, however, express cd the fear generally held by Republi- cans, that the Democratic party will not stand up to the issue, but when the time comes will moderate their free trade with incidental protection or other euphoneous dodges.
 There Is real danger that the vigorous blows of Senator Sherman and other Republicans may drive the free traders into their holes early in the campaign. If they stand their ground the Demo cratic party will be solemnly interested in the returns of the next November election.
