Credit to Whom Credit is Due.

Some time ago, THE HERALD hear
ing that Senator Graham was claiming
the credit of getting the Hayden bridge
bill through, set about to get the truth
on the subject and we think the follow
ing covers the whole ground:
To Editor HERALD, Meeker, Colo.
In reply TO your inquiry as to whom the
credit belongs for the passage of House Bill
No. 10 for the bridge at Hayden, Routt county,
and as 70 whose fault is bamable. the defeat of
House BIZ No. 10 for the bridge below Meeker
in Rio Blanc county, we have decided to make
this joint reply:
We have never known, in our Legislative
career, any bill to pass, that the result was so
entirely due to the efforts of one man and in
which Legislators were so influenced by per
sonal friendship and goodwill toward the
author of the bill, as in the case of bill No. IS
by Mr.. Lowell; and we do not believe any
other member of the House, or any senator,
could have secured the passage of such a bill
at that time.
1t was the only appropriation for local i'm
provements made during the two sessions of
the Ninth General Assembly out of over II
million and u half dollars asked for.
To say the least, we deem it highly discredit
able to your senator, who never got bill
the two SESSIONS, to lay any claim to the honors,
which belong entirely to Representative Lowell
Moreover, If your Senator had voted rs he
should have done, on bill nineteen, Rio Blanco
would have had her bridge as well as Routt.
We do not think 1t proper to let this occasion
pass, without commencing in hearty terms, the
Legislative career of Mr.. Lowell; of high
order of ability, a tireless worker, n thoroughly
honest and incompatible man, he was on the
right side of all questions, and made warm
personal friends of the members of all political
parties In the Legislature and he deserves the
support of every voter In Routtand Rio Blanco
counties.

Judge Rucker.

Notwithstanding the assertion made
by Judge Rucker that he has been a
populist for two years, the fact now
maintains that he is seeking 10 have the
secretary Of state place his name on the
straight Democratic ticket, in the alb
sence of any nomination having been
made by the Democratic judicial conven-
ton. In former days it used to be said
anything is fair in politics. In Popu-
listic days Office seeking in this shape is
supposed to be odious. The Democrats
in Garfield, Routt and Rio Blanco coun-
ties got onto this attempt of Judge
Rucker to foist his name on the Demo-
cratic ticket and have filed with the sec
rotary Of state a protest. Jacksonian
Democrats of Pitkin what are you going
to do about it. In the language Of the
Democratic woman delegate In the Gar
field delegation when Fuckers endorse
ment was sought to be carried, "You can
put the name on the ticket, but you can
not make the women vote it."-Aspen
Times.

that q petition has been presented to tho sec
rotary of state bearing the signatures Of ono
hundred persons claiming to be Democrats,
among which arc s. u. Eubanks, Popuiist trea-
surer. Il. W. Ware, Populist sheriff, #. C..
