DENVER, Col, June 1l.-Shortly after
midnight the Peoples Theater, three
story stone building, caught fire and is
total loss. The flames started
in the scenery on the stage and
soon spread throughout the entire
building, the efforts of the fremen to
stop them being fruitless. The theater
was owned by ex-senator Tabor and
was valued at $4,000, with an Insurance
of about $4,000. Had the fire started
an hour earlier there would doubtless
have been many fatalities.

deep down in their hearts Republicans
with power of observation admit that
no ones nomination could have stem-
med the tremendous tide. The Repub-
llcans In the Reed congress, led by the
Gar of Maine and Gov. Mckinley,
brewed the poison of yesterdays result,
1t affects the political fortune of many

The Evening Rep. perpetrates an
interview on L. r. Morgan Sr., of Al
lance that is cruelty. Of course Nor
gan never volunteered any such inter-
view. ltwas fixed up for him by some
of the smart Alecks of Canton, simply
for effect. 1t is well known in Alliance
that Morgan is not satisfied with
McKtnley's friends in Canton. He has
said in private that they bled him pro-
tusely during the campaign, but did
not help him to fight his battle. Every
body knows that the Evening Rep.
gave Morgan no substantial support.
What they did say was as weak rs dish
water, and did him more harm than
good. The result in Canton shows that
no good work was done for Morgan,
The leading Democrats all know this,
and it does no good, and deceives no one,
not ever Morgan, for the Rep. to pre-
varicate about it.

ESQ, REIeNER AS A PROPHET

On Friday June 23tb, 1892, few
days after the nomination OF Grover
Cleveland, Esq, Reigner wrote and
printed in the NEwS-DENIoCRAT the
following eloquent and prophetic SEN
tenceS.
cleveland is strong candidate with
the masses and OF that let all in interest

Democratic votes from inslncere, sell

party, which are largely inspired by po'

three hundred thousand men OF sincere
Republican faith in the deDatable states
will openly e9pouse his cause ana
press the result TO Successful reYolutlon.
That the attitude OF the RepnpIlcan
party in their platform ON Inc Force

AS certain now as that the Miner law
will divide the electoral vote or Mlchl-

I,earer. A solid South and broken
North now confronts the Republicans,
and Cleveland may win without the
vote of New York.
off any one assumes that Cleveland
will be scalped in New York by the
Tammany and Hill people they don't
understand the situation as 1t has been
shaped at Chicago.
ait is a notable fact that New York
has been carried for every other Demo
cratic candidate for President the past
sixty years, and there is no reason to
doubt that history will repeat itself
thi (, year. IL is a condition and not q
theory, that confronts Tammany, and
Tammany aud Hill will therefore sup
port Cleveland in the sort OF way
that they support candidate whom
they want to elect. and that means the
electoral vote of New York for Cleve-
land, by a large majority, aud 1t also
means Cleveland's election in No
vember."

IT was cruel and cold blooded thing
for Secretary of State John w. Foster
to repudiate the Mckinley bill as soon
as it became apparent that Cleveland
was elected. Foster Is at the head of
President Harrison's Cabinet, and
before the election claimed to be in
favor of the Mckinley bill. He now
says in public interview that the Nc
Klnley bill defeated Harrison. He
goes farther and says the Mckinley
bill would have defeated any candidate
the Republicans might have nominated.
This interview indicates that the lead :
ers of the Republican party will now
make scape goat of Mckinley, aud
will repudiate him and his projection
policy, and take new departure.

pile up. The people were told that the
tariff was not tax. Then they were
told that il was tax, but the foreigner

and they aretired of it.

Congressman Tom Johnson also
made one of his brave talks. He said
ne was not a candidate for Governor of
Ohio, but preferred to serve the lpeople
of his district in Congress. He pro-
poses to push for a new tariff bill the
coming winter.

OF Gen. Sherwood may have been re-

1t was that great Columbian orator

In Alliance some 80 Democrats in
the Fourth ward voted for Morgan.
Dr. lEirt ought to have had so majority,
but II went 10 majority for Harrison
and for Morgan. Many Democrats
IN tue Second ward either stayed at
nome, or voted for Morgan. In the
Fifth ward Cleveland received "a votes
and Harrison 200, while Ikirt only re,
ceiyed 80, and Morgan 254 This shows
that quite a number of Democrats
(some 45) voted for Morgan. The
result in Alliance shows that Morgan
would have run some 400 ahead ofhis
ticket, had he not been numerically
cut by his party friends. An analysis
OF the vote shows this. In the First
ward In Alliance, Cleveland polled 2S3
votes, and Harrison 172, while Nor
gan's vote is $50, and Ikirt's l7O. Here
is only a slight gain, showing good
work by the Democrats of that ward.
