THE CONTEST is OVER.

The contest is over. Enough dele.
gates have already been chosen in
Colonel O'Ferrall's interest to nominate
him right now. There are between
four and five hundred delegates yet to
be elected. or these Colonel O'Ferrall
will receive more than 300. So the
only question now is as to the size of
his majority That majority will be
swelled far beyond its present indica
tions by scores of true and sensible
Democrats who will recognize the in
evitable and at once fall into line for
this invincible champion of Democracy,
hon. Charles Il. O'Ferrall.
Now it is time to discuss the candi-
dates for lieutenant governor and attor-
ney general and the platform.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 -Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: Good crop prospects

regard the new national bank currency
issue as promising relief. Currency is
scarce at Birmingham, but confidence
since the bank failure is returning. At

SENATOR AND DELEGATE.

The Democratic executive committee
has fixed upon August "a as the date for
the election OF delegates to the senator

August 81 at Salem. The selection of
one or two sets of delegates has been
left TO the discretion Of the ward meet.
ings. 1t is an i'm portanJ matter and
should be maturely considered.
In considering this THE TIMES is first
of all for Roanoke and its interests
Roanoke has 5000 people whose needs
in the way of legislation are paramount
and pressing. IL has larger popula-
tion than all the rest of the legislative
district and pays very much larger
State tax. TO properly represent these
interests Roanoke needs representa-
tive in both the senate and the house Of
delegates. Then may be a change in
the future, but Now it emphatically
needs them both. TA
There can be no question that Roa-
nokewill give its solid delegation for
j. Allen Watts, Esq, for the senate,
that it will be equally solid for the
reelection of Hon. M. C. Thomas to the
house. Mr.. Watts ability is unques.
toned, and Mr.. Thomas splendid
record at Richmond last winter speaks
speaks for itself.
A calm consideration Of Roanoke's
claims and the claims which may be
made by other parts of the district is
again in order. The delegates stand a S

EDITOR ENTERPRISES:
As a general rule the cam
paign this year has been unusual
ly free from mud-slinging and the
ordinary campaign falsehoods. But
just as the campaign IS drawing to
q close some unscrnpulous falsi-
fer has started the story that 1 am
to be appointed deputy sheriff
should Charley Steward be elect
ed. This story has been put a1oat
without the slightest foundation.
Some scalawag has manufactured
it for the sole purpose of prejudic-
ing Republicans against Mr.. Stew
ard. I want in the most public
manner to give an emphatic and
most positive denial of the story,
as it has not even the shadow of
truth in it. I trust that this de-
nial will obtain as wide a circula-
ton as has the campaign lie, that
the yarn may have no effect in in
fuencing voters.

CHARLEY REYNOLDS CLAIMS.
Some Reasons Why He Should be
Elected Treasurer

EDITOR ENTERPRISE: OF all the
offices to be filed at the coming
election none is more important
than that of county treasurer. He
has the handling Of large sums OF
the peoples money and large re-
sponsibilities rest upon him. In
casting about for who shall be vot-
ed for for the various offices each
voter should give special attention
to filling the treasurership with
the very best of material. In
Charles Reynolds the people have
a candidate who fills every specifi-
cation of the most exacting re-
quirements for that office. His
honesty is universally acknowl-
edged in all sections of the county
where lie is best known. That he
will make careful and systematic
official those who are most init
mate with his business methods
will freely testify. And in the list
of qualifications demanded for this
important Office none will be found
lacking in Charley Reynolds make
up. And he is one of the self
made men of the county, rising
from the humber walks of labor to
successful business, his industri-
GUS habits, economy and unusual
good management having enabled
him to acquire competency and
in doing this he has in no way for.
feited the good will or high esteem
of his neighbors, as his business
methods have ever been above re-
proach.
And let it be remembered that
Mr.. REYNOLDS is running on his
own merits. He has entered into
no combinations with others for
the success or defeat of anybody,
nor has he secured the candidacy
of anybody else that his own
chances may be furthered. He
has no strings to his candidacy,
and is before the people asking
only that his personal fitness for
the Office be considered by the vot-
ers in making up their minds as to
whom they shall vote for for the
office Of treasurer.
The estimate Of Mr.. Reynolds
character given above is that
which prevails throughout Otero
county, and which is constantly
adding to his friends and support
ers. The chances for his election
grow more and more favorable as
the day of election approaches, and
those who are best posted on the
inner workings of all the political
parties are of the opinion that Mr..
Reynolds chances for the treasur-
ership are considerably better than
those of any other candidate.
There are many voters who do not
belong to the democratic party
who have made up their minds to
support Charley Reynolds, and on
election day will quietly, and with
out saying word to anybody, put
the x opposite his name. And
when they have done SO they can
congratulate themselves that they
have done their full duty toward
placing a fully competent, honest
and trustworthy man in the Office
of treasurer to handle the peoples
treasure for the next two years.

JOHN P. STEVENSON.
Some Reasons Why He Should be
Elected Clerk
Catlin, Colo, Oct. 2s, 1898.

Catlln, Colo., Oct. 20, 1888.
EDITOR ENTERPRISE: There is
one candidate on the democratic
ticket whose personal worth enti-
ties him to special mention. John
P. Stevenson is one of the pioneers
and one to whom the country is, to
a large extent indebted for its
present development, of which all
Otero county citizens are proud.
Mr.. Stevenson has always been a
wide-awake, public spirited citizen,
one who has been noted for his lib
erality both in private life and in
matters of public import. He has
always been ready to contribute
his dollars for the relief of distress
whenever made known to him, and
has thus won the warm friendship
and support of many.
But l am not asking support for
Mr.. Stevenson ON the grounds of
public spirit and liberality except
as these qualities are combined
with the qualifications which the
Office of county clerk require. Mr..
Stevenson's business ability is of a
character which we'll fits him for
the discharge of the duties of
county clerk. His education is
such in all practical directions as
to amply qualify him for caring
for all the work of the clerks office
in thorough, systematic, ta-eful
and prompt manner. With him
in this important office every citi-
zen of the county can depend on
the fairest and most courteous
treatment.
Should Mr.. Stevenson be elected
and installed as clerk the people
of Otero county can depend on the
laws relating to the duties Of that
Office being faithfully and fully
administered. He will, l am con-
fident, at once fully acquaint him.
self with all the duties Of the place,
and all the laws governing his
action, as relates to the public bus
mess and that which pertains to
individuals, and will perform all
his work to the best of his ack-
nowledged ability and with a thor
ough conversance with the statute.
Mr.. Stevenson came to Colora-
do in 1879. Previous to that time
he run one of the leading demo-
cratic papers in Michigan. He
has never held Office, but has been
largely engaged in sheep raising.
This occupation has in no way
taken from him his old-time abili-
ties as an Office man, and he will
fit into every department of the
clerks Office in a way creditable to
himself and the county.
Without saying a single word
against other candidates, I must
urge that Mr.. Stevenson's claims
for the place are "away up" and
I think he should be awarded the
place. If this is done the county
will be certain of having faithful
officer and a worthy man given a
reward to which his merits entitle
him. Therefore, my advice is put
an opposite the name of John P.
Stevenson, wherever else on the
ticket you may make these signs
of your approval. V. D. A.
