THE SELECTION OF CITY TRUSTEES.

THE SELECTION OF CITY TRUSTEES.
Long before the first steps were taken
to place candidates in the field for city
Offices to be filled at the coming election,
the RECORD UNION advised the advance
of the strongest and best men as candi-
dates for municipal Offices that in any
.vent good administrators might be as
sured to the city.
Contemporaneous with that urging this
iournal with emphasis pointed out the
reeessity of electing men as Trustees
the local legislators = who by ability,
character, freedom from political shackles
and obligations to ward politicians, would
inspre economic, wise and honest gov
ornuant for the city under the new
charter.
Tn this latter respect the parties and
o-oanizations nominating have but par
tially done their duty. Strong and weak
man subseryient and independent men,
capable and wholly incompetent and un-
fit men have been nominated, and it now
remains for the people to ignore any and

DENVER, Col, Oct. 13.-The appoint.
ment of receivers for the Union Pacific
was the leading topic in railroad and
financial circles today. When Gould gol
hold of the road in '01 the Colorado di-
visions We're greatly affected by his
system of reirenchment. Under the
former management the great system had
been divided into divisions, with an as.
sistant general manager with head
quarters for each. But under the new
management these expensive departments
were abolished and assistant superin-
tendents were placed in charge.
In Denver q. II. Meek was the repre-
sentative, having been placed In that POSI-
ito when the Denver, Texas and Fort
Worth road passed into the possession of
the Union Pacific under the Adams man
agement, Mr.. Meek being general man
ager of that road when the consolida-
ton contract was made. Mr.. Ady ut that
time was general passenger agent and
continued In that office under the con.
tract. But Gould disregnrdeh the wishes
of the Fort Worth railway people md
abolished the Offices. placing the Colorado
and Gulf divisions under the management
of w. A. deuel., giving him the title of
superintendent of those divisions. The
changes throughout the system threw
many officials out of employment and
caused much dissatisfaction. When the
panic struck Colorado this summer still
further retrenchment was made. Pas.
senger trains were reduced to mixed
trains or taken of altogether, and not
only was there reduction OF employees
but of wages In the ranks OF unorganized
