duty of the light keeper at Fort Morgan to
have looked after them until they had been
enabled to go back to the world in a better
manner than by the one by when they had
returned.

The delegations that will be elected by
both the state and congressional conven-
tions will Be red-hot for fusion, aud If IL
fusion Is not effected they Will be red-hot
fer making arrangements of some kind TO
have the vote of the party cast for the AL
lance ticket all the way through. To ac-
compiish this the leaders could not have
selected better time. Hundreds of DEM
Ocrais would be arrayed in opposition to
fusion if the convention had been held u
few days ago who are staunch advocates
of it now. The fact is. these Democrats
were friendly to Colonel Murdoch, and as
they had hopes that he would be nomin-
ated they opposed fusion because they
thought it would endanger his election IN
the fall. Now that Colonel Murdoch Is
not the nominee they have no interest IN
Repub lican success and therefore will have
no objection to fuslng. 1t is probable that
the unanimous sentiment of today Will lie
in favor of fusion.
