The Bessemer indicator., 1894-08-25

Waite would apparently like to make
Colorado nn Independent republic or
the Hawaiian plan, perhaps. His
scheme TO coin Mexican dollars (g
worth 80 cents and make them n legal
tender for 81 squints that way.
COlorado's business interests demand
return to conservative, legitimate
methods of government. Experimental
crnnks who are running the state for
personal revenue and political prefer
ment will be turned down this fall.
The people have had enough Popu-
lism for the rest of the century.
The frnnd pcrpetrated upon Colorado
by the claim of the Populists that they
were the only simon pure silver party,
and by means of which they secured
control of the state two years ago, Will
be punished In an exemplary manner
this fall. Nothing disgusts decent peo-
pie like false pretenses
For n party built on reform prlnci-
pies, the Populist organization man.
ages to commit phenomenal series of
blunders. While claiming to relieve
the burdens of the people, they have
placed an unnecessary load on the
treasury of nearly S250,OO0 for extra
session foolishness and picturesque
militia maneuvers.
Waite's belief that he is, as COM
mander-in-chief of the state military
forces, superior to the civil law, Is re-
sponsible for good many of the bad
breaks he has made in the attempting
to override the law for political pur-
poses. Notably in the matter of the
81 tnta tfnIN In tst
and the Denver police board.
The women of Colorado have an es-
pecially important duty to perform this
year. The fact that 1t is the first time
they have had nm opportunity of voting
I'm n general election in Colorado puts
equal suffrage on trial. II the result
of this election is undeniably benefl-
cial. MS 1t will be IL the Republican
ticket is elected. equal suffrage will
receive an impetus all over the West
especially.
Colorado's material prosperity de-
pends upon a conduct of affairs that
will inspire confidence in the conserva-
tiyjsm and business Judgment of those
in charge. The Populist party has
done nothing to inspire, but everything
to destroy this confidence. And as pros
Derity throughout the commercial
world can never happen until conf
dence is restored, the first step in that
direction is to turn down the present
Populist gang of tax eaters.
Populists realize that they have but
one hope In the coming election, and
that IL to again deceive the miners
and workingmen into tho belief that
through Populism only can free coin
age be secured. But not until they
shall have solved the problem Of how
to make the tail wag the dog Will they
be able to accomplish free coinage.
The only hope of this desirable con-
summation is through the Republican
party.
1t matters little by what name they
hive been heretofore called, every citi-
zen of Colorado who IL interested IN
the mnter,al welfare of the state will
east n vote this fall to stimulate her
industries. put idle men ut work and
nonulate her vacant lands. A vote for
The Republican party this fall Is a
move IN TINT direction. A long pun,
n strong pull and n pull nll together
will redeem the state from her present
incubus of Populism.
II Governor Waite is the "reformer"
to claims to be, on what principle OF

and members OF the fire department OF
Denver for political purposes! Does ne
