said Secretary Carlisle had told him
that the greatest calamity that could
happen to the Democratic party and to

A Mastery Speech.

The political speech delivered by
Capt. Lucas, at the court house in this
city on Tuesday evening, was one of the
most mastery expositions Of the i'm
portant questions involved in the pres
ent political campaign, that has been, or
will be presented by any speaker in the
northwest during the present contest.
The tariff and monetary questions, con-
cerning which he manifested q most
thorough understanding, were treated
at length in manner so exceptionally
clear and lucid, as to be brought fairly
within the easy comprehension Of his
auditors. and so effective were his clear
cut comparison Of free trade and pro-
lection results, in favor Of the latter,
that democrats and populists were alike
impressed with the sound and stable
character of the irrefutable arguments
presented.
The attendance was large, and the
speaker held the closest attention Of his
audience to the close. A marked feature
of the address was the entire absence Of
abuse of any party, which, in passing,
it may be entirely proper to note, was
in marked contrast with the populist
speeches of the period, which largely
consist in the vile abuse of the old par
ties.
We regret that limited space pre-
cludes a more extended mention of this
very able speech. which has rarely, if
ever been equalled in point of true
merit. by a public speaker in this, or
any other place in the west.

A RUINOUS POLICY.

That there is a strong sentiment pre-
vailing in this place against the ruinous
policy Of defsming Cnster county by the
publication in the Leader ofexaggerated
statements concerning her financial
standing, is Enthusiastically evidenced by
expressions heard upon the streets every
day. The course pursued by that paper
in its determined efforts to injure the
republican party at any cost, can have
no other effect than thai ofinjury TO the
masses by depreciating the value of
county warrants ia the interest Of
wealthy investors.
As proof of the injurious tendency
Of such policy, we cite case where a
party in an eastern state who has. for
years, been purchasing these warrants
through resident agent of this city,
received copy of the Leader contain
ing the one sided statement referred to,
the same having been sent him by a
resident of this place, which had the
effect of impressing him so unfavorably
that he notified his agent at once to
discontinue their further purchase, stat
ing that he did not deem it safe to invest
in warrants issued by county that was
so recklessly managed, and so hopeless
ly involved. The injury to the people
of this county, resulting from continu-
ance ofthe policy adopted by the Leader
cannot be otherwise than serious. Do
the taxpayers of Custer county, with
whom the Leader man is not included,
endorse such a policy or desire its con-
tiuuauce

Not Stuck on the Popullsts.

Yesterday while Col. Fred I. Evans,
Of Hot Springs, was in the city reporter
asking him about his trip recently made
to Colorado, was surprised to learn of
the sentiment expressed by that gentle
man Of the universal desire of all the
leading people of Colorado to turn down
Governor Waite and his ticket at the
coming election. Mr.. Evans said that
all the leading citizens OF the principal
cities that he visited, both democrats
and republicans, had resolved to vote
the republican state ticket in order to
secure the defeat Of populism. A very
large number of manufacturing plants
