WAITE AND THE pops"
The Blood to the Bride" Governor in
Rnh EnNnr-


Bad Favor.
Mr.. A. B. Lamb, who recently returned
from Crede, Colorado, says that the Populis s
are heartily sick of Governor Waite who
was elected by their votes. Even the Rocky
Mountain NeOS, of Denver, Populist paper,
has turned upon the Governor and said in q
recent issue, Governor Waite has done about
as much harm as he can do to both the state
and his party He has made the state an
object Of rdicule abroad and has weakened
his party at home by the violence of his
temper the frivolity of his action, his
Indifference TO obligations aud the wild and
incoherent utterancos of his unbrdled
tongue"
The people Of Colorado Mr.. Lamb says,
are now fighting Governor Waite to prevent
him from changing the laws in regard to
bankruptcy. The Governor wants to call a
special session of the Legislature for that
purpose and he also has a pet scheme in
regard to silver. The people, irrespective OF
politics. are up in arms against him on the
propositions and the Denver Nei0s TEHei
and Sun, as well as all other papers of the
state, are firing columns OF grape shot at him
| The people don't waiver bit in regard to
their debts, but win continue to fight ad.
versty on the old lines and there is no doubt
that they will be on sound footing again
| before great time elapses. The majority
Of the people realize that the repeal bill will
ultimately be great benefit to the S ate in.

| other resources than silver to depend upon
They are already turning their attention t.
the old gold mining camps and reports of big
Strikes are being received every day. Times
are very dull in many parts Of Colorado just
now and will be for time, but the people are
mately be on top. They don't want the bene.
| it OF bankruptcy laws and won't allow them
to be changed for any such purpose. In re.
gard to the gold camps, they have been
producing more gold the last two
months than has been produced for
many years in similar time. Governor
Waite was put on the ticket so that others
might use him and his friends. His election
was q surprise TO everybody. Now the state
has him ON It's hands and recognizes that he
has been the cause of great harm to it ON the
silver question. He is going from mining
camp to mining camp and trying to persuade
the men that all hands except his own are
raised against them. "But in all my e1
perience and talks with both Populists and
Democrats" says Mr., Lamb, 81 have moi
heard one man support the Governor, and hi.
blood to the bridle' speech was condemned
universally in Colorado"
The people of Colorado are very proud o.
| their Senators, Mr.. Lamb says, and the man
ner in which they conducted the silver fight
in the Senate. There is no doubt that
Wolcott will be returned next year by the
Republicans. While the fight on the silver
bill was going on the people of Colorado were
sanguine of success, but after the repeal they
took the defeat gracefully. All mining wal
| stopped at once and they assumed a dignided
attitude, resolved not to whine and beg o
the people in the East, but to fall upon their
other industries and bring the state out OF
chaos in which they will no doubt succeed
The position they took was an admirable
one. They had appealed TO the East for re
lief and when they found it would not b,
given they assumed an Independent attitude
and turned attention to their other resources
At the same time they don't give up all hope
on the silver question. They are confident
| that after the East once becomes thoroughly
educated ON the subject of silver there will
be as many advocates for it in the Eastern
states as there are in the West at the present
time. The people OF the East have never
really understood the silver question suftic-
iently When such men as Teller and VOL.
colt speak for the measure, no matter how
! powerful the arguments may be, they do moi
have the desired effect, for the reason tha
they are more or lessSaanterested in the pro
duction Of silver and their arguments are moi
accepted at full value
! At the present time all the mines at Crede
Colorado, are wor rking This is the only min
ing camp in Colorado holding it's own il
production.
The Western people, especially those OF
| Colorado, realize that the people and senators
[ of the East were unfair in circulating the COS
of production of silver. The Eastern peopl,
allowed nothing for the years spent in locat
| ing and opening these rich mines.
