A jolly Wizard.


On wizard dwelt in a cave by the sea,
And a dreamer Of dreams was he;
The Wild waves roar as they broke on the
shore
Gave him mrth and jollity;
For he'd people the rocks and the sounding
deep
With phantasics weird as the products Of
sleep.
Oh he dreamed OF g maiden fair as star,
Who came O'cr the rolling sea
On the snowy crest of the biliow 5 breast;
with airy head walked she;
And her face was as white as the driven snow,
And her voice was like music SAD and low.
Oh. she sang OF love, and OF lovers pain,
And she sang OF dreC-a 50 sweet
That had urged her soul u q rrSperate goal,
For the sake of n wild hea; beat
For the lover she loved in her fOndest dream
Was false as the glitter of brook and stream
Oh. the wizard dwelt in a cave by the sea.
And dreamer OF dreams was ne;
Through phaltasies sad and phaltasies glad
lie kept his jollity;
" For dream IS o dream, and not life," quoth
he,
. But love which is life ne'er a dream can be!

Republican Platform.

The Republicans of Prowers county in
convention assembled, reaffirm the dec
larations of the Republican National
Convention of 1888. We heartily endorse
the wise administration of President
Harrison. We also fully approve of the
wise and patriotic action OF the Republi-
can members of both houses of Congress
in fulfilling the pledges of the party in
legislation upon the coinage of silver, the
disability pension bill and other bills OF
national Importance.
Resolred: That we are in favor Of a
revision of the tariff, which will protect
and develop American industries and
American labor against the labor and in
dustries of other nations. insuring home
market for all our raw material.
Resoiued:-That protection of labor
and the rights of laborers is the first OBJ
legation of government: that We favor
such legislation by Congress and in this
State, as will in every practicable mode
encourage, protect and promote the in
terests Of agriculture and mining in all
their departments.
Resolred That the waters OF the
State belong in fact as well as in theory
to the people and we demand such legis-
lation as shall protect the people in the
use thereof, and we further demand a
revision of the laws relating to irrigation,
that the farmers of this State may have
an adequate remedy in the event OF a
failure of ditch company to furnish the
quantity OF water sold, and that it be
made criminal offence to sell or dispose
of any more water than an irrigation
ditch or canal will supply.
Resolced That the fee system for the
remuneration of public officers which
now prevails in this State, be abolished
and fair and just salaries be substituted
in place thereof.
Resolued That we denounce the ac-
ton of the Democratic party in Congress
in opposing legislation looking towards
the free coinage of silver, and thus ap-
proving of the message of the last Demo-
cratic President, of date, December 5th,
1885, advocating the repeal OF the silver
coinage act.
ued:-That we heartily endorse
and of the action the Senators and Rep
resentative from this State, in laboring
for the free coinage Of silver and other
measures of public benefit to this State
and the west; and appreciating their
brilliant and patriotic efforts in behalf Of
the interest of this State, we are heartily
in favor of the Hon. H. NJ Teller, Senator
from this State, and the Hon. Hosea
Townsend, our Representative in Con-
gress. succeeding themselves in those Of
fees at the expiration of their present
term of office.
red:-That we recommend to the

lican State Convention are hereby in
structed to vote for, and use all honor

Republican State Convention.

HEADQUARTERS OF THE
REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
DENVER, Colo, July %, 1890.
In accordance with the instructions OF
the Republican State Central Committee
the convention of the Republican party
of Colorado is hereby called to meet at
Denver on Wednesday, the 18th day of
September, A. d. 1890, at 10 o'clock a. M,
for the purpose of nominating the fol-
lowing candidates for State offices to be
filled at the State election to be held on
Tuesday, the 4th day of November, A. d.
1890, to-wit:
One Representative in the Fifty second
Congress Of the United States
One Governor of the State of Colorado.
One Lieutenant Governor.
One State Treasurer
One Secretary of State.
One Auditor of State.
One Attorney General.
One Sup't of Public instruction.
Two Regents State University.
One Chairman of the State Central
Committee and one committeeman from
each county in the State to constitute
the Republican State Central Committee
for the ensuing two years.
To transact such other business as may
properly come before such convention.
The several counties of the State will
be entitled to representation in said con-
vention as follows:

1t is with much qualification We see
that several of the leading Republican
papers of the State, are taking up and
endorsing the pledges that have and are
being made by the party to the people.
The Denrer Times, one of the leading
papers Of the State, in recent article.
pledges the party to the support OF GER
tain measures, namely, a stringent rail-
road law, the abolishment of the fee sys-
tenn, an addition to the irrigation laws.
protecting the farmers, etc. The REGIs-
TER was the first paper in the Arkausaa
valley to take this matter up and We
hope to see every Republican paper in
the State fall into line with us. The
Republican party in its administration
of public affairs, has always in the past
and will in the future quickly respond
to every demand of the people. In the
great Republican State of Kansas, the
Republican party has had uninterrupted
control of the Legislature Of the State
ever since its admission into the Union,
and its laws are more efficient to the pro-
lection of the rights and more favorable
to the interests of the agricultural and
laboring classes, than those Of any other
State in the Union. In Kansas the house
and lot of the laborer and farm OF the
agriculturist are exempt from forced
sale. The earnings of laborer necessa-
ry to the support of his family. are pro-
tected from creditors. They have be-
neficent mechanic lien law whereby every
person performing wock or furnishing
material are assured payment. They
have stringent railroad law whereby all
railroads are placed under the control OF
Board of Commissioners in the matter
to be elected by the people. 1t will be
the same in Colorado. The coming ses-
sion of the Legislature will be remark
able one and will place upon our statute
books several laws in the interest OF the
people. The rule of monopoly in Colora
do is about over. The Arkansas valley
will be released from the yoke of the At
Gibson, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad,
and our people premitted to reap some
benefits arising from their proximity to
the markets of the State Ditch corpo-
porations will be held to strict account.
The REGISTER will have a representative
in Denver this winter and every member
OF the Legislature failing in his duty to-
ward the fulillment Of every pledge
made by the Republican party to the
people will be held to strict account. The
vote in the Arkansas valley will in two
wears from now decide PARTY success in
the State, and the placing Of the State
Auditor from the valley will be wiso
move on the part OF the convention.
The Democratic party will take advan-
tage Of the situation now existing IN the
valley and unless we have some legisla-
tion relieving us from railroad extortion
and ditch monopolies this winter, they
will be in the ascendency.

This is the last week before the Con-
vention Of the Republicans of this State
There seems little reason to doubt that
the name of Ex-Governor John L. Routt
will head the ticket put in nomination
by the Convention. His name will be
taken by the people as guarantee of
good faith by the party. 1t will insure
the election of the ticket by over 10000
majority. His record is known all over
the State, and has never yet been tar
nished with corruption, carelessness or
mugwumpery. He is candidate Of the
people, and il nominated, will make the
best Governor Colorado has had since
Hon. John I. Routt himself held that
position.

The Republican convention of Custer
county, the home Of Congressman
Townsend, was held last Saturday. The
Democratic papers and few mugwumps
had been claiming that the convention
would repudiate him, but as predicted
several weeks ago by the REGISTER, he
received hearty and substantial en-
dorsement that has hushed all opposition
to him anywhere in the State. The voice
of the sore-head and mugwump was not
heard in the convention. 'Rah for Town
send, the best Congressman Colorado
ever had.

the counties OF Otero, Bent, Prowers and
Kiowa, will be held at Lamar, in Prowers
county, on Wednesday, the 24th day of
September, 1890, at 10 a. m, for the pur-
pose of putting in nomination candi-
date for member of the legislature for the
Bent legislative district. to be voted for
at the general election in November, 1890,
and for the transaction of such other bus
mess as may come before the convention.
The several counties in the district are

The Arkansas valley will send up
solid delegation to the State Convention
for Hon. Henry Kellogg for Auditor, and
we hope to see the Convention nominate
him and thus recognize the Republicans
of this section, who under the leadership
of Mr.. Kellogg made such gallant and
successful fight to wrest the valley from
the clutches OF corrupt Democratic
ring. His past record in office insures,
in case he is nominated, clean and
careful management of the affairs of the
office he now seeks.

The Democrats had Tom Reed defeat
ed up to the day of the election, and even

A few mugwumps in Kansas, styling
themselves re-submission republicans,
the Democratic ticket. It is not known
whether any member Of the convention
ever voted straight Republican ticket
or not, but it is certain that the Repub-
lican party of Kansas with 10000 ma
iority, can well afford to spare this hand
full Of renegades who have always been
a detriment and an eye-sore to the loyal
masses Of the party.

The DenUer Ne,cs followed by its pup
pies, the Democratic press of the State,
raised terrible howl because Hon.
Hosea Townsend was absent ten days
from his seat in the House. 1t takes
unlimited cheek to do this in face of the
cold facts, that on the tests votes in the
House during the past three months the
Democrats have not been able to muster
100 votes out Of total OF 155; and dur
ing Mr.. Townsends absence, on the que s.
tion OF seating G. R. Breckenridge and
thus consummating the disgrace that
commenced with fraud and murder, the
Democrats present voted solidly for him
yet only 81 votes were cast for him, just
40 per cent. If a Democratic member is
in his seat two day in succession, it is
such an unusual occurrence that it causes
comment throughout the Capitol.

1t is an easy matter for the Sparks to
say that Mr.. Elder has made brilliant

us just one case in which he has been of
any benefit to the people.

Hon. R. Q. Mills has been renominated
by the Democratic convention in his dis

BILE aid for another two years. They are
jubilant over the prospect.
