Some ofus were discussing Car

evidence in general at the thea,
tire. between acts, when a case
which attracted universal atten-
ton a few years ago was recalled.
The names have escaped me, but
the story remains. Two men
were in love with the same girl;
one extremely rich and the other
in moderate circumstances.
Neither of the rivals had re-
ceived particular encouragement
from their sweetheart, but one
evening at dusk when the poorer
lover was riding homewards from
her house his horse SHE'D at an
obstacle in the road, and threw
him directly across the dead
body of a man. He picked HIM
self up and struck a match. He
had just made the horrible dis
covery that the PROSTATE body
was that of his rich rival when
two countrymen came up and
found him in this most equivocal
V
position. They refused, of course,
to believe his plausible tales. but
speedily arrested him and threw
him into Jail 10 await the coro-
ner's verdict. This verdict result
ted in his Imprisonment, and, at
his subsequent trial, he was cor
victed and sentenced tobe hanged.
He died protesting his innocence,
but the case was too strong
against him. Ten years after
wards notorious old crook con
fessed the crime, and his motive
of robbery completely exonora

The Bessemer indicator., 1893-11-11

THE Chieftain says: "A fusion of the
democrats and populists would not have
helped them much in Pueblo county
this year" Besides being an unerateful
slap at the democrats the statement is
not true. Firstly, not man on the
democratic ticket received anything like
a full party vote, but for argument say
that the vote for Higgins represents the
party vote. He received S73 votes,
Hockham, 1908 and Moses 1858. The
combined vote of the democratic and
populist candidates, therefore, would be
2,791 or a majority of 1873 over Moses,
and Moses ran away ahead of several
others ON his ticket. This shows the
absurdity of the Chieftain's remark,
and if more conclusive evidence were
wanted 1t could be found in the state
ments of hundreds of democrats who
would testify that they voted for Moses
as we'll as for every other man on the
republican ticket. Democrats rejoice
in the prominent part they took in the
election of the republican ticket and
they are sure of the gratitude of the
successful candidates as well as of the
rank and file of the party.

some lesson that when great principles
are at stake that men. even in the ex-
treme east, will loosen the party collar
from around their necks and vote for
measures instead of men. The un-
warranted tyranny of President Cleve-
land and the bossism of politicians,
aiming at false financial policy and a
ruinious tariff system alarmed the voters
of the country and they determined to
give the administration set back; and
well did they perform their duty.
If the national democracy would con
tinue in power it must follow the
principles of its platform and legislate
or honest money and in the interests of
the people.

Money and Fine Weather.

The Pueblo Star is too dishonest to
tell the populists the real cause of their
defeat, VIZ. the unpopulari'y of their
principles, but attributes their over
throw in this county to money and
fine weather, and foolishly asserts that
there is strength in defeat Here is
the way the Star sums it all up;
AN nprecedentedly good vote was
polled all around and the weather was
of the Republican" kind. The reps
always get out on fine day but when
it rains or SHOWS they are afraid of
getting their silk stockings soiled
They had splendid organization
spent 81 900 for carriages in addition
to having four paid workers AT each
poll, and in some precincts got out 100
per cent of their claimed vote. Money
counts" was their motto and they did
not fail to use 1t at every turn.
The populists, however, are by no
means discouraged. You will find
them all at work again this morning
with feelings as strong as ever that
right and justice should triumph over
Doodle and extravaganza. Defeat only
binds them more strongly together and
thev will be out again next spring as
enthusiastic as ever seeking nominations
and contesting for election"
