The Bessemer indicator., 1894-09-01

ing negroes. Let the colored people
remember this. VIM. Rees' friends
are making war on Hubbard for this,
while Mr.. Rees is himself attempting
to catch the colored vote by fair
promises. 1t is only another case of
carrying water on both shoulders, but
it is proper that the colored people
were put unto the situation.
The INDICATOR has made no com
bination of candidates for the various
offices, but has carefully selected from
the list only such men as it can vouch
for as being IN every way capable and
worthy to fill the offices to which they
aspire. 1t unhesitatingly commends
every candidate it advocates to the
good will of those who attend the
republican primaries.
Harry Mulnix is in camp looking for
leaks in the political fence. He re-
ports finding it in the best condition
with the state treasurership inside
Cripple Creek Miner.
The office of district attorney is a
very important one inasmuch as it
stands between the public good and all
that is opposed to it. The district AT
torney whose duty it is to handle all
cases wherein the people constitute
one of the parties to the suit, should
be man of unimpeachable integrity,
one who cannot be bribed nor bullied
from doing his duty. B. d. V. Reeve
is Just such man and should the re-
publican convention give him the
nomination he will practically have no
opposition in the election, SO well and
so favorably known is he among all
parties. The confidence which is
placed In him by all classes of people
is sufficient recommendation in itself to
secure his nomination.
John Il. Gordon is being much talked
of as the man for state senator. Mr..
Gordon served in the last general as-
sembly and gave good satisfaction.
Since he made a good representative he
would make good senator, and the
sentiment in his favor is growing
stronger every day He is one of
Pueblo's most enterprising citizens, and
if there is anything in sight for the
good of his city he never fails to see it.
His nomination would be move in the
right direction.
Fred Belts is one of Colorado's dis.
tingulshed sons. Do him honor by
nominating him for one of the district
judges
Bessemer asks for one of the four
representatives for this county in the
person of A. w. Lennard. The solid
delegation he will receive from this
part of the city will illustrate the force
of the above remark.
People who do not think it worth
while to attend the primaries should
have little to say if delegates be slipped
in who will not place in nomination
men who are favorites with these negli.
gent people. Remember that the prim
aries are very important part of the
campaign.
f. c. Glenn is one of the self made
men of the city. Brought up on a
farm where he put in his youth in
"roughing it," he knows the value of
labor and has applied it to his pro-
fesson as lawyer until by his dill
gence he has made a name and
record for himself that will go far
toward securing for him the nomina-
ton of district judge. 1t may also be
incidentally remarked that having
labored as youth as only farmer
boy does, he is in full SWING and sym
pathy with the laboring people and
firm friend of labor organizations.
w. A. Pitton has had the proper
schooling to make an effective secretary
of the next republican county central
committee.
w. H. Hubbard went to the cup
board and got his doggie bone; not
even the grease was left Mr.. Rees and
SO his poor doggie got none.
Hon. Fred Belts is lawyer Of dis
tinction whose practice is not confined
to Pueblo but is extended throughout
the state, and he is everywhere known
as man of ability and integrity. He
is one of the men who have made
creditable the bar of Pueblo, and de-
serves reward at the hands of the
people. There is not a lawyer in the
city, no matter what his politics, nor
how hard he fought Mr.. Belts in any
cases in court, who does not say that
Mr.. Belts is especially qualified by
learning and training to become an
exceptionally good judge. Republi-
cans will shed honor ON themselves and
greatly strengthen their ticket by nom-
mating him.
Every man and women who votes the
republican ticket should attend the
