didate for the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of New Hampshire.
Mr.. Cleveland has written another letter.
Replying to a communication apprising him
of the organization of a Democratic campaign
club in Acquacanonk Township. Of Passaic
County, n. j., of which Mr.. James Clancy is
President, the Chief Magistrate wrote:
believe the success of the pending campaign
depends largely upon the efforts of such clubs as
that which has been started at your home. There
is sometimes Jack Of effectiveness in such organi-
cations arising out of q failure to make them work.
ing clubs. Their purpose should be not merely to
bring about the association OF those already well
grounded in the Democratic faith but TO draw in
new converts and to FIX those who are wavering in
their political preferences. Every member OF such
a club should, think consider himsefa committee
of bring within the influence of the club
some person whose vote could not otherwise be
secured TO the Democratic cause, fully believe,
however that this new club established in Passaic
will not be wanting in any branch of effort.
Very truly yours, GROVER CLEVELAND.
The Peoples Party Colorado State Conven-
tion was held in Denver last week. The plat.
form indorses that adopted at Omaha July a,
and pledges its support to the party. 1t fur
ther declares that our Senators and Repre-
sentatives in Congress are not in accord with
the best interests of Colorado and her people in
advocating the election of the enemy of silver
to the Office of Chief Magistrate of the United
States" The platform, continuing, condemns
the attempted assassination of Frick, denounces
the punishment inflicted upon Private Iams at
Homestead, and emphatically opposes the en-
ployment of Pinkerton or other private agents
by individuals or corporations.
The following ticket was selected: For
Presidential Electors ]. c. Highley, j. G.
Berry, A. ]. Overhaul, and Silas Hanchett.
For Governor, d. r. Waite, of Pitkin; for
Lieutenant Governor, d. r. Nichols, of Boul.
der; for Attorney General, Eugene Engley, of
Hinsdale; for Secretary of State, N. McLease,
of Mesa for Treasurer Albert Nance, of
A far udi n1xlr TN
of Montezuma; for State Regents d. M.
Richards and w. Z. Anderson, both of Arapa-
hoe
OF the Presidential Electors, Berry, High
ley, and Overhaul are original Farmers Alliance
men, and Hanchett is silver Republican.
United States Sub.Treasurer Walters, of
Philadelphia, was interviewed the other day
after he returned from New York, where he
had been in consultation with Chairman Carter
of the Republican National Committee.
Chairman Carter" said Capt Walters, is
one of the shrewdest politicians in tho conn
try. He showed what he could do at Minne-
apolis where he was one of the principal leaders
of the Harrison forces. He has unusual ex-
ecutive ability, and can do an amazing amount
of work without firing. Besides, he is good
judge of human nature, and is therefore not
likely to be imposed upon. / believe he will
have the party thoroughly organized in every
State in tue Union and working in perfect har-
mony before election day. and that means sue
cess at the polls / firmly believe that Harri-
son and Reid will be elected"
The heads of Mr.. Whitney, Mr.. Brice and Mr..
Harrty were very close together last week, as
there was much to be arranged for at the i'm
mediate opening of the campaign. Mr.. Whitney
and Mr.. Cleveland are very anxious that every
section of the party should be drawn upon for
active workers, and that the management of
the campaign shall no. be kept exclusively in
the hands of those who advocated Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination. They want Senators Brice,
German and Ransom to take prominent part
in the campaign, and it is probable that all
three of these gentlemen will 60 on the Adj
vsory Committee, and, as has already been
seen, they are on the Campaign and Executive
Committees
Weaver and Field, the Presidential and Vice.
Presidential candidates of the Peoples Party,
expect to stump the Southern States together
during the campaign. The campaign has been
mapped out so far as regards the silver States.
Gen. Weaver and Gen. Field fired off the
first guns at Denver on July 26 and 81. They
will visit Pueblo and Leadville, Aspen, Nevada,
California, Oregon, Washington, and Montana.
