THE CTHER SIDE OF u.

dence OF the fact that the laboriug man
has a friend in Governor Warren.-I Yes
terddy's Sun.
The Sun has sprung this particular
veto with a great deal OF regularity dur
ing the present campaign. 1t seems to
be the sheet anchor upon which it hangs its
homes of bamboozling the voters into the
belief that f. 4. Warren's days and
nights are devoted to considerations of
how be can best ameliorate the condition
of the working people.
Place alongside of this veto, which was
penned for purely political purposes, the
united testimony Of the small ranch own
ers whose ranches have been swallowed
up in the capacious NAV Of the giant
corporation known as the Warren Live
Stock company. Take the testimony Of
all of the settlers who have been strug-
Cling for a foothold within a radius Of
many miles OF the vast fenced posses
sions of the governors company. Listen
to what they nave to say concerning the
~depredations OF the Thousands upon
thousands of sheep which render
desolate the unienced public pastures
Of the surrounding country. Hear them
tell of how their cattle have been driven
forth from their own little ranges by
Warren's men and left to stray at will in
a neighboring state. Pause while they
tell of orders given By this same Governor
Warren to prevent any Of these abused
settlers from staying overnight at any Of
his numerous sheep ranches An = order
promulgated especially to strike the un-
fortunate settlers whose cattle have been
driven out of the country by Wanen's
herders. Let them tell of the xpense
and trouble they have been to in collect
ing their little herds and let them tell you
how a governor OF Wyoming has scat
tered his focks like an invading army
over the entire surrounding country until
every v~estige OF vegetation has disap-
appeared aud the small ranohman Is
driven to his wits end to secure susten-
auce for his little bunch OF stock.
Then let the subservient press and
heuchmeu tell you of his public spirit. his
u~ntiring efforts 10 behalf Of public good
aud publish TO the world the one consecu
tive charity unearthed and credited to
him with loud acclaim. Then let the
working people take the other side of the
story. Let them reflect for a moment
upon the time when he built the business
blocks for which he has been given so
much credit Let them remember that
the contractors and builders were Denver
men. and that the men who did the work
were imported from Denver to do it, while
they may have lain idle so far as he was
concerned. Let them look at the records
Of the knights Of Labor covering this
very same period and let them there find
in black and white the honest Indignation
expressed by the w%orkingmen upon this
verv same subject.
Let them take his gas company mon0po-
ly and pay with what cheeriulness they
can assume 80 per thousand for gas when
it is sold for 81 per thousand in Denver.
Let them consider his electric light mo-
nopoly. Let them ponder over the fact
that the city Of Cheyenne, OF which he is
alleged to be the joy and pride. pays him
over $225 per year Tor each light used in
the public street. Let them consider the
inferior character Of the service and then
pause and reflect that out Of n list Of
ninety-one prominent cities in the United
States in which electric lights OF 200 can
die power each are furnished by private
corporations, in oRly two, Boston and Fall
River, Mass. does the price reach $3.50 for
an all night %ciTcuit. In Decatur, ILL.,,
where the city owns the electric light
plant and an all night circuit Ia used, the
cost per year of each light is 500. IN Dun.
kirk, n. Y, $50 so; in Madison, Ind,
$4s: IN Lewiston Me, $40, IN Hannibal,
Mo, $50; in Bay City, Mich 500; in
Topeka, Kas., sT2, in Chicago. SOS 90.
Denver, which is lighted by a private
company, pays sl20 a year for each lamp.
Then let them turn to the cutthroat
agreement of the mercantile company of
which Governor Warren is the head aud
front and let them soberly ask themselves
why Governor Warren should need a
garnishment law when he forces poor
w~orkingmen and women to sign an agree
meut which places in his hands power
which is more absolute than the law it
self. The agreement is as follows:
=. z. Warren Mercantile Company,
Furniture Dealers.
