Governor Davis II. Nalt' oil 'olOlddo
Come off the perch. please. Leave our Ma
tona liberties in charge Of the - Rooster" for
a few moments while YOU relax your mind and
indulge in easy going >lippcrcd conversation.
TIE TRIBUNE learns with profound SORROW
that YOU refuse to be placatcd and that in the
matter Of blood nothing short of having ii mp
10 the horses brides will satisfy YOU. We
had hoped that after the convention adjourned
and its extreme rcd -hcadrdncss had ceased 10
make the atmosphere of Denver abnOlmdily
lmid You might have taken Yourself To some
of the more agricultural portions Of the state
or over into the f" Garden of the Gods and
in the >cclu>ion which promotes patience and
puts the brakes on runaway tompeiS at down
on yourself and become calm For really,
Governor. VIC must say that Your cry in the
convention for blood 10 the horses brides"
seemed 10 lis 10 indicate that Nou were IN a
much tuo red headed state of mind 10 lead
great people in a grand uprising against the
world wide conspiracy To get silver AZ les than
II 80 an ounce. The proyocation. Of course
was great but we could not help thinking that
YOU were INDUCING in the language of cXaS-
gcraton. And it was our hope that rs You
cooled off you might come down by easy stages
in your rcqui>ition for blood. first, say 10
blood T. the saddle girth> then perhaps T.
the fetlock>. and that possibly eventually the
civilized world might compromise with You Oh
one or two buckctfulS of blood for the as
suagcmcnt Of your personal thirst.
Nor do we yet despair of getting better
terms for the civilized world than ." blood 10
the bridlcS' At any rate, we shall continue
to cling around your knees until we receive
final answer and blood actually begins to
flow An attempt has been made by "a
wealthy minc-owncr in Colorado to restore
confidence among our gold bugs" by the
statement that You are not only "nobody in
particular" but that You are an "cXtrcmc
nobody in particular" But as was remarked
by a gentleman who has for several weeks
occupied prominent seat in front Of the
fountain in our City Hall Park. giving his
mind to questions Of finance: That is alto
gcthcr too thin. \ man who has received
80 600 votes for anything must be somebody
in particular" The people are not 50 easily
treasured. The panic is on. Several gentle
men who have been sitting with their heads
in their hands around the City Hall fountain
considering the financial crisis ever since it
was given ont that Secretary Carlisle con'cm-
plated paving Treasury notes in silver have
been missed from their accustomed seats since
the day you proclaimed that blood should flow
to the horses brides. No one knows TO what
point their trunks were checked and it is be-
llcved by many that they have fled into the
Businesses Of NcwJcrScy, overcome with terror
at the Sangunary outlook. Some of them no
doubt, are monomctallists and have gone away
to bury their gold in the depths of prlmcval
forests. Very likely there are others who-hav
no prcudccs in the matter, but take without
scruplc any metal that comes handy who have
retired precptatcly from sheer fright II is
important, Governor. that these gentlemen
should be treasured before the next election.
AS otherwise the party which elected you Gov
crnor of Colorado will lose votes in this town.
Again, Governor: you may recall the cir
cumstancc that little more than year ago
a gentleman holding views of finance some
what similar to your own came over here from
BOSTON to induce one Of our capitalists To /" re-
distribute" his wealth. lie brought a Garnet
bag almost as full of explosives as your speech
in the Denver convention. He was not con
nectcd with the cavalry he was satisfied with
blood to the tops of his CATERS The capitalist
not being willing to redistributc" the Boston
man dropped the carpet-bag, and had it not
been for the providenta interposition of a
casual clerk, whom the capitalist held in front
of him while he made minute inquiries as 10
his bodily health, this town would have lost
one of the most ardent advocates of rapid
transit. You would hardly believe, Governor.
that since the publication of yonr speech this
capitalist is very particular whenever bank
clerk or brokers' messenger visits him in bust
ness hours to shake hands with him with the
utmost effusion. meantime holding him be-
tween himself and the State of Colorado II
only illustrates the prevailing condition here.
Now, why not, Governor-we ask You as "A
philanthropist.why not let up just a little on
blood. at least until the world has determined
