The IeaU.e af Colorado are NOT proud ~
their governor AT least che people 0f
Denver are not The idlotic speech be
delivered at the meeting of silver men q
fn', days ago. iu which Dee gave uttcrance
90 sentiments that raised a doubt as 20
hi> sanity, has done Colorado almost in
eaiculably harm The failures Of banks
and business men that have occurred in
/ Denver within the last few days are at
/ trihutcd 70 that speech
Denver is largely dependent upon the
/ east for money 10 carry on her large bust
/ ness undertakings. When signs of inan-
cill trouble became apparent the banks
sent To- New York for financial assistance
Just about that time Gov Waite made
the speech that has given him such wide
notoriety AT once the eastern financial
institutions said they would not risk
another dollar in Colorado They recog-
nizcd the governor as the mouthpiece Of
the people, and they said if the people of
Colorado entertained such sentiments
they wanted no business transactions
with them. The governors talk of war
if silver producers were not given what
they asked alarmed them
a leading business man of Denver IS
quoted as saying that it viii take twenty
years for Colorado to recover from the
effects of Gov Waite's speech. Continu-
inc he said: Those rawlings Of a man not
worth $50 a month in any business are the
direct cause Of this lack Of confidence ex-
hibited in the east in Colorado's financial
affairs. The governors frended utter
ances have had a disastrous effect and
am in daily receipt Of letters from eastern
men who have money loaned in Colorado
which indicate that they intend 10 demand
their money just as soon as it is due"
There are great many prominent men
in different parts Of the country who are
almost as reckless as Gov. Waite, in Civ
ing expression to their views as to what
should be done if the demands in behalf
of silver are net complied with They
seem to be Indifferent as to the harm they
do.
The people of Denver now know what
harm Mr. Waite has done them. He
would get very few votes in that city, if
he were candidate at this time for an
elective office. The people of Denver
have had all the experience they want
with men of Gov. Waite's kind.

What the Mormons Promised.

Charles Ellis resident of Salt Lake,
Utah, notifies the Washington Post that
it is not acquaini ed with the condition of
affairs in that territory, or it would not
have ridiculed the statement that the
MormOn's have raised 81 ,000, 900, or more.
with which to buy Utah's admission into
the Union. Mr. Ellis declares that, two
years ago, a syndicate was formed to buy
statehood for Utah, and that it was
backed by as much as $1,000, 600
Mr.. Ellis says it is not true that
polygamy Those who advocate state
hood for the territory say the Mormons
have given it up, but they are either mis-
informed or are seeking to create a false
impression in respect to the matter
According to Mr.. Ellis all that the Nor
mons have promised is that they will
give up polygamic sealing until the law
when will the law permit
them2 Not until Utah becomes
a state. Mr.. Ellis says that the Mormons
have at least 1000 majority, and that if
Utah should he admitted into the union
they would control all the offices. They
would even give suffrage to women and
then they wonld have fully 10000 major
ity. AS state Utah would regulate
marriage to suit herself and polygamy
would flourish again because 1t is an ever
lasting tenet of the Mormon religion
The impression prevails in the east that
palygamy is a thing of the past in Utah
but, if what Mr.. Ellis says is true, it will
bea long. time before the territory is
granted statehood.
