that you have been both a malconten
and chronic place hunter since your
very recent arrival In the county ant
state about two years ago.
The charge designated as No. 4. is
that you wanted to be assistant
prosecutor under Judge Gibson" You
respond by asking II editor or any one
ever heard of your asking for the
place. This response does not amount
to the dignity Of a denial and is es.
sentially an admission that you sought
the place at the hands Of Judge Gibson.
But you seek to create an impression

you know that Judge G. F. Smith, now
police magistrate. at your instance
made personal appeal to Judge Glib

and all, incontrovertible evidence in it's

In support of charge No 2. your

4 stands half confessed; yet your letter
seeks to becloud and befuddle. You
cannot find republican in the city Of
Pueblo but who will bear witness to
your chronic, persistent solicitation for
the nomination for city attorney; you
made diligent quest everywhere for
delegations; you actively sought the
influence of prominent republicans;
you sought to make + combine with
Mr.. Nicholas; you made earnest en-
treaty and duplication to Mr.. Lockin
and Col. Abbey. and because they were
honorable gentlemen and frankly told
you the truth ~ to your status with
the party, you turned upon them and
roundiy abused them.
Everybody, Major, very thoroughly
knows that you ceased the search for
the nomination only sitter you had
overwhelming testimony from prom
inent members Of the party in all
sections Of the city. that i9nominious
defeat would assursdly attend your
candidacy in the convention, and this
constitutes the sole reassn why your
name WAS not presented.
