Republicans of Virginia by issuing q
circular which advances the sugges-
ton that members of the party are
under no obligations to support the

the General is that the power to call

Patriotism VS.. Partisanship.

If pleases Populists and Prohibitions
lists to call this Republican paper, we
wish them much joy. The chances are
we know more about our own political
holdings than do they. If it is any graf
iication for them to know, we will
frankly say that, while Democratic, we
stand ready to support the Republican
state ticket this fall, il such action be
necessary to drive the disgraceful ad-
ministration from power which is now
blighting this state. This we take to
be patriotism; our self-appointed critics
may take it AS they choose.-Grand

AT the request of number of our
readers we publish the following petit
ton, which is being circulated in the
upper country. 1t is self-explanatory
TO the Hons. Henry Nj. Teller, Edward

Pence, Washington, u. G..
WHEREAS, BY presidential proclama-
ton Of October 10, 1891, 1,lS2,72O acres
OF the public lands in Rio Blanco and
adjoining counties were Withdrawn
from settlement, ostensibly for the pur-
pose Of creating Forest Reservation;
and,
WHEREAS, Seventy-Hve per cent. Of
the land within the White River For
est Reservation is totally devoid Of tim
ber Of any description, and therefore
can in no way meet the requirements Of
forest reserve; and,
WHEREAS, The withdrawal Of this
vast territory has already greatly re-
tarded and damaged the growth and
prosperity OF Northwestern Colorado,
and particularly Rio Blanco county;
therefore, be ii
RESOLVED, That we, the citizens Of
the section affected by said proclama-
tion, urge you TO use your utmost en-
deavor to have this territory again
thrown open to settlement, or TO at
least have the boundaries modified to
correspond to those proposed In the bill
introduced by the Hon. j. q. Bell, and
We respectfully submit the following in
support Of what We consider the just
claims Of the settlers In this part Of
the State:
First-Any proposition that would
exclude range stock from the area of
this reserve would strike serious blow
at land In a great measure Destroy the
grazing interests Of Northwestern Colo
rado, and particularly that Of Rio
Blanco and Routt counties; and az this
is the chief industry we ask that our
rights be regarded.

quent there all the year around as in
the States east of the Mississippi
Three-fourths of these lands are devoid
of timber and consist of grassy parks
nterspersed with aspen of three and
four inches diameter and of no value
whatever. AS irrigation is not neces-
sary these lands will not be farmed like
the rest of Colorado where the land is
only cultivated in narrow strips lying
along the margins of the rivers and
creeks, but will eventually be covered
by farms throughout its entire extent.
In Rio Blanco county alone these lands
will furnish fifty times more area of
valuable agricultural lands than the re-
mainder of the county.
Third-Wit'in the limits of the re-
serve near the headwaters of most of
the streams having their sources in this
territory prospecting has and is now
being carried on with results sufficient
to evidence the existence of consider
e5Ie mineral belt.
Fourth-The order issued by the In
terror Department on April IA, 1894,
seems to us evidence prima facie that a
forest reservation is not the end sought
by the reserve promoters, but rather to
deprive the bona fide settlers living
within and adjacent to this reserve of
rights that have never been denied the
pioneer before, and should said orders
be enforced it would result in the set
tiers living within said reserve having
to abandon their holdings.
Fifth-We have only to say in regard
to the recent report made by Hon. L
7. Ensign that the territory proposed to
be excluded by said report is such that
it leaves the settlers in almost the same
condition they are in now. While ex,

The late election in Alabama has
thrown wet blanket over the loud
mouthed, but poorly-informed, individ-

as compared with last election, which
shows that the third party wave is re-
