thing for nothing. who pretend to
scorn the use OF the filthy lucre in pol
itics and attempt to run a pellucid
campaign remind one of the big boy
who held bag expecting the snipe to
innocently walk into it; and such candi-
dates will catch about as much.
j. NJ. Mckee is one OF the most
prominent men on any of the tickets.
and those who know him best have
the greatest confidence in his ability to
conduct the Office of county assessor
ably and economically and will give
the people an honest administraiio ion
and every taxpayer ST. uare deal.
E. g. DOnley, candidate for county
commissioner from the Fourth district
is one of the squarest men on any OF
the tickets, and besides being man OF
honor and integrity has the peculiar
executive ability to discharge the
onerous duties of the office to which he
aspires. Mr. Donley is the man for tn,
Fourth
Chairman Townsend of the populists
advises that all poplists having interests
in material for n paper should consoli-
date their interests into one office and
run n strong paper. Should his advice
be followed the Star, the Independent
and the Crisis with the off shoot of all,
the silver lance, would join forces; but
they will hardly do so.
Cash Henderson, the genial county
clerk is after the suffrage of the voters
for reelection. He is cosmopolitan
sort of fellow and. like his friends in
office. Messrs Moses and Mcnamara,
will go after votes regardless He has
ingratiated himself into the good will
of the people and may be allowed to
entertain strong hopes of election.
John NJ. Nc Kee had hard tussIe
to secure the nomination for county
assessor but circumstances point to the
fact that he will come out an easy
winner in the campaign, No man can
show clearer record nor does any
man bear better reputation as IL
conscientious, painstaklng and scrup-
ulously careful official. He would
made an admirable assessor
g. W. Bowman is making mn active
campaign and meets with much en-.
couragement in his effort to succeed
himself us county superintendent of
schools. Mr.. Bowman was elected to
this important office two years ago over
his competitors, W. ]. Jackson and
s. d. Bollinger by a round majority
and has little fear but that he can be
reelected by a greater majority. He
has systematized the schools of the
county and has them down to fine
point of efficiency and progression.
Mr. Bowman is entitled to the suffrage
of the people.
The uncertainty of political can
vass is well illustrated by the following
W. j. Darncll canvassed
precinct 81 in the interest of the re-
publicans and reported 90 reps, 81
dems, 81 pops and 81 doubtful; total
202. C.. II. Adams at the same time
canvassed the same precinct for the
populists and found 81 reps, 10 dems,
81 pops and 6S doubtful; total. 1876.
In these reports Mr. Darnell gives the
precinct 66 more votes than Mr.. Adams
to say nothing about the wide diff
ference in the political complexion of
those whom they listed.
County Treasurer McNamara has
proven himself to be the poor mans
friend. By extending the time of
publication of the delinquent tax list he
las saved to the hard run tax payers
boz, 900. The time of first publica-
ion was to have been August go, but
he had it postponed until Nov. l2.
Had the sale taken place the amount of
costs in public sale and redemption
would be 100000 which is snug
amount saved to the debt ridden tax
payers at this time. The treasurer of
Arapahoe county caused the delinquent
list of Arapahoe to be published re-
yardless of the times and the printed
list of delinquents actually occupied
sixty-flve pages in the Denver times
The taxpayers of Pueblo county owe
Mr.. McNamara debt of gratitude for
holding off.
