PRESENT AND PROSPECTIVE.

THE scene presented last night by
our once peaceful aud orderly city was
OF q character to M the better class Of
the populace with forubodlngs tor the
future. Unrestricted pandcmonium
reigned In the business centre. The
rough elements q the population, hav.
ing gained an election Victory, COM
bined To make night hid.ous, by filling
the air with dcafening shouts, ycils,
shrieks and howls, some OF tn. sounds
resembling the yelping Of dogs. The
blowing Of tin horns, beating Of drums,
and firing Of guns made deafeniug
din. The noise was kept up until a
late hour anu was heard ut u distance Of
probably two miles from the main
point Of disturbance.
The insane demonstration and the
cause for 1t forbodes bad for the city,
for season at least. II means cen

drunkenness, gambling, prostitution,

"Tug CLOSING ERA

A FEW days ago q number Of prom.
inrnt ladies In Denver assembled ut
the residence Of Governor Routt aud
discussed the propriety OF purchasing
Preston Powers great work Of statuary
entitled "rhe Closing Fra" The
famous sculptor agreed TO reproduce In
bronze, heroic size, this group for
$4,000. The ladies accepted the
proposition, aud no work will be
placed In the hall Of ststuary at the
Columbian Exposition In Chicago IN
1893, rs typical OF Colorado. At tho
close Of the exposition the statue will
be removed 10 Denver there to be per-
mancntly located.
About "rho Closing Era" there is
something ieelingly pathetic as well "
herOlcally poetic. II represents a

endeavors Of election officers In the

actual outrages were those perpetrated
by the "Liberal" bosses and their

Arthur Pratt. Another outrage was

accomplish what they had been pre-

Another and, II possible, viler outrage
is the regret expressed by the"Liberal"
organ that there was not "so.ne whole
