[Schultz fans himself vigorously and
urge upon every individual democrat
the necessity Of using their vote and

form: the grand old democratic party,
The roof raised.

cordially endorse the pledge our al
legiance to the state platform.
We approve of the selection of Gen

urge every independent thinker and
every enemy of republican misrule to
vote for the gallant soldier and
courageous democrat.
We condemn the American protec-
tive association, and every religo-poli-
tical organization as unpatriotic and
un-American, and enemies to our pop
ular government.
We pledge the support of every
delegate present at this convention,
to the nominees today, and believe it is

that mountain climbers are affected at

CALpwELL.s ANSWER.
He says the Santa Fe Receivers Must Tag
Their Employees.

Some time ago employees of the Santa Fe
road sent a petition 10 Uaited States Cir
cut Judge Caldwell asking him to punch
up the receivers to pay them promptly. Il
seems that there Is rule existing In the
management OF the Santa Fe that al en-
ploye who does not pay his debts promptly
viii be discharged. 1t takes money TO pay
debts and, hence, the petition To Judge
Caldwell. Yesterday the following answer
was received:
To !. ". HUT and Others:
GENTLEMEN: Your petition relating 10
pay day is received. ! have referred it to the
receivers with directions 10 pay all en-
ployees as early aud regularly possible.
Just now the receivers are having the
greatest difficulty TO raise funds to repair
the road replace the property destroyed
and pay the wages of its men. They will
be requested TO do the best they can. For
a month the earnings have been cut off.
thousands upon thousands of dollars
worth of property has been destroyed aud
other thousands expended in an effort TO
prevent further destruction of property.
But Notwithstanding these deplorable con-
dItions the men must be paid their full
wages as soon and as fast rs it is possible
to raise the money TO do it. Yours truly

in this way. Then sixth tuber hit
him in the short rib. and he lay on the
