DEMOCRACY DYING.
1t VIII be All Gone by 1896 says a CoIOra-
do Man.

DENVER. Oct 18-Attorney General
Eugene Engley is of the opinion that
there is no hope for silver from the old
parties in the east The attorney gener-
al has held this idea for some time, but
his trip through the east convinced him
beyond any shadow Of doubt Of the truth
of the impression.
'Ihe Democratic party is dissolving."
said he upon his return from New York

business. After 1896 there will be only
two parties of national importance in the
field-the Populist and Republican. l
talked with Republicans of Chicago, New
York, Boston and other eastern cities.
and fonnd them unaiterably opposed to
the white metal. Their common argument
IS that silver is too cheap TO be any long
er used as a money metal, and ii is too
heavy 10 carry around
For these reasons they prefer gold and
greenbacks- Why, the Republicans are
the worst greenbackers L ever saw. They
admit there is something wrong with
finances, but they laugh at the idea of
free coinage of silver ever being restored
The Republicans say right out that they
are IN favor of the single gold standard
and high tariff. A short talk with Re-
pnblicans of the east who are apparent
ly well informed on all other subjects,
soon convinces a western maa that they
are wholly innocent of any knowledge Of
the silver question.

FTNDLEY's BIG FIGURES.
He Fixes Major aIorrin's Plurality at
10000.

George Findley, the we'll known Re
publican politician, said to a STATE
JOURNAL reporter today: Il regard the
election of Major Morrill, as a 0sOlutely
certain believe he will get more votes
than both the other candidates., or at
least viii have a plurality Of FROM $4,000
20 10000 Ny belief is not based on any
figures SO much as the fact that the very
large number Of business men
VINO two years ago believed Gov
ernor Lewelling promised a clean
business administration and voted for
him for that reason are now determined
to vote for Major Morrill,.
Il am told by reliable men that the
PopuIists will get scarcely any votes in
any OF the eastern counties In Leaven-
worth county they got $500 votes two
years ago, but this year the men who
ought to know say Lewelling viii get
less than 1000
Almost the same condition of affairs
exists IN Atchison and DOniphan counties
and unless the Republican losses are sur
prisIngly large in the western part of the
state the Republican state ticket Is going
to be elected by a large majority"

COLORADO WOMEN ACTIVE.
They Are Taking the LfveIiest Interest in
Politics Now.


WASHINGTON. Oct. lS-Letters received
from Colorado indicate an interesting
feature of the campaign in the part the
women are taking in it. They viii have
their first vote on a general state cleo
ton in November next. And il is report
ed that they are evincing an interest in
politics which had not been supposed
proba BILE before the right Of suffrage was
conferred.
All of the three parties-the Republi-
can, Democratic and POpulist-have
tickets in the field. and there
are fenale candidates each of
them Furthermore, the ladies besides
cooperating with the men on the state,
county, ward and precinct committees
have independent clubs and other party
organizations of their own at which they
discuss general political questions, can
vaas party prospects and do all they can
to instil in the minds Of the members Of
their sex the necessity Of full party
vote and of creating an ante election en-
thusiasm which will insure this result
They also hold public meetings, which
though conducted so far as the machin-
cry Is concerned bv the women, are adj
dressed by speakers of both sexes.
Meetings of this character have been
held in the principal halls and
theaters in Denver and other
cities. and the audiences were imposed
largely of women. All accounts repre-
sent that the women are taking quite as
much interest in the campaign "a the
men and the indications are believed to be
that the female vote of the state will be
almost equal TO the female population
This state of affairs is due largely to
the bitter feeling which exists between
the Republican and POpulist parties. The
Repu blicans predominant in the cities.
while the Populists have their greater
strength in the mining districts As
there are proportionately more women
in the cities than in the mining camps,
the Republicans expect to gain an ad-
vantage from the female vote.

Desperate Attempts to Get Away From the
County Jail

Desperate Attempt to Get Away From the
County Jail
Harris Trammell made a rather des-
Derate attempt to jump his board bill at
the county jail this morning.
Harris is the bad man from Texas who
was arrested some four months ago for
carving a young colored fellow near the
sugar factory. He was convicted At the
last term OF court and sentenced to thirty
work on the costs and has about sixty
more days to serve.
Confinement does not agree with Har-
ris' delicate constitution and be made
great big resolve recently that be would
shake the dust Of broken rock from his
delicately rounded limbs This morning
was the elected time and Harris pro-
ceeded with his scheme.
When the men went to work at 8
o'clock they fled down the steps to the
stone shed as usual, Guard Brussman in
the rear Harris was near the rear of
the line or he would undou btedly
have been successful in his attemp
to escape. As soon as he got
out of the door he made a dash for the
fence and succeeded in getting over it.
Harris paid no attention to HIM and
Brust man fred a shot through the gate
at the fleeing prisoner.
Trammeu ran north in the alley by the
city jail and Policeman Sage who heard
the shot saw him and gave chase. It was
a lively race. but Sage was nimble and
caught his man near the corner of Third
and Van Buren, streets and brought him
back.
An extra guard will escort the county
prisoners to work after this.
