WE GO WITH OUR PEOPLE.

Mr.. D. J. Haynes is prominent and able
lawyer of Denver, Col, and What-Not
found him TO be Z fine conversationalist.
Among other things, while speaking OF the
politics of Denver, he referred to the rise
OF Senator Hill, stating that Hill while
professor of geology in Browns university
at Providence, F. l., was solicited by East
ern friends TO go 70 Colorado and take
charge of a smelling furnace. Hill, feeling
inadequate TO the undertaking, referred to
his incompetency and the syndicate sent
him to Europe, where he took thorough
course in mining Upon his return TO
America, the syndicate placed him at the
head of a smelling furnace some eighty
miles from Denver, 1t large salary. He
operated the furnace very success fully for
several wears, when il was moved to Den
yer. Hill was u very frugal man and saved
his earnings, buying stock IN the furnace
until he gradually acquired q controlling in
terest. and the main stockholders dwindled
down to Fill and Henry Walcott, who is
brother of Senator Walcott. Hill then pur-
chased the Denver Republican and entered
politics. Both Senator WGicott and Henry
Walcott, VINO We're state senators at the
time, made q strong fight fol him and he
was elected TO the United States senate. He
served one term and was defeated by
Teller After this defeat he still
aspired to the senatorship, and when he
learned that Senator Walcott was yearning
for a stroke of lightning he became jealous
and turned the columns of the Republican
upon the senator Thus the two political
friends became inveterate enemies, and the
fight has continued until the people are dis
guSted. Walcott has many warm personal
friends, and the general public is growing
tired of the Republican, which is only
mouth organ of Hill's, to be used as an in
strument of destruction. Hill has used it
to defeat the Republican nominee, and,
while it claims to be Republican in politics,
it is simply Hill. This fractional fight has
divided the Republican party of Colorado
On state affairs, but it gets together during
q national campaign. HIS strength, how
ever, is waning, and he will soon be elimi.
mated from politics. a new morning paper,
the Sun, was recently started. and it will
likely develop into the leader of the Repub-
hcan party. The News is, Of course, con-
sidered the Democratic organ, and will
maintain its prestige for all time. This
factionalism, however, will in no manner
affect the national election, and, unless the
Democratic party neminates free coinage
man and inserts free coinage plank. the
state will give the Republican party hand
some majority. In case the free coinage
issue is sprung the contest will be very
close"
What-Not-''Do you not think that identi-
cal commercial interests will unite the West
and South against the East and North in
regard to political issuesl"
Mr. Haynes-'I will illustrate my opinion
BY 4 question. Do you think that the
Southern people would vote against the
Democratic ticket if the principles Of the
two platforms should be changed2 In other
words, would the South vote for Grover
Cleveland, running as Democratic candi-
date on q Republican platform. Us Greely
ran for PRESIDENT AS far as am CON
cerned, 1 firmly believe that the Southern
people will vote for anything that is called
"Democratic,' and the Western people will
vote for anything that is called .Republi-
