General Shelley.

General Shelley for governor! If you knew the old hero and what a genial man he is. you would want to vote for him. He is a strange makeup of amiability and firmness, reminding you of the lines:
 "The bravest are the tenderest,
 The loving are the daring"
 If General Shelley leads our ticket next year he will sweep the state like whirl- wind. A man would feel pride in say ing: T. too. voted for old Shelley!'-Cit- izen- Examiner.

The nearer the cause of free silver coinage approaches extinction the readier the Colorado people are to admit that there has been no time in the history of silver mining in their State when that in- dustry could not stand on its own bot tom without the assistance of govern mental aid. and protection. The same result has been reached in silver mining that we have experienced in this district in iron mining; by improved methods our iron furnaces have increased their capac- ity from 60 to 80 per cent and are making a better grade of metal than formerly. The silver miner has been more econom- ical in mining and milling his ore than when he received $104 per ounce. and now that he realizes that the people of these United States are determined that they will not permit the forging of silver col lar for the nec1s of the American free man, Mr. Silver Miner turns his atten- tion to economic measures to reduce cost.

A recitation by Miss Mabel kalloch,
and the Sunrise chorus bv the senior

concluded the programme.

greatly to the gayety OF the fair and GER

evening uatil the midnight hour the
large hall and galleries were literally
jammed with mass OF busy and con-
tented visitors. Room was scarce allow
ed for passing from one point OF interest
to another.
In some miraculous manner people
managed to get about so that the sales OF
the evening surpassed those of any other
duiing the fair. AS a matter of course.
the voting for the most popular ladies
and gentlemen was kept up more briskly
than ever. AS one candidate rose in
numbers above her competitors. the
friends OF some rival rallied and the re-
polling places were closed, the last
moments being the lIveliest of all. The
handsome walnut dresser awarded as
prize to the most popular married lady
was carried away by Mrs. John Alton,
who received 226 votes. Mrs. J. J. Bergin
and Mrs. John Francis received the next
highest number.
AS the most popular young lady Miss
Mamie Meade headed the list with 228
votes. Close in the contest came Miss
Minnie Bradbury and Miss Laura Beatty.
AS winner Miss Meade received beauti-
ful silver water pitcher.
Voting for the most popular gentleman
was very spirited up to the last moment.
d. M. McGarry won the carving set with
a small margin over J. F. Franois. Two
close competitors were John Alton and
j. C. Hays.
The largest number of votes cast for
any one person was $50 for Miss Katie
Farrell in the contest for a iady's gold
watch. The winners popularity was
more fully shown by the numerous con.
gratulations she received upon the sue
cess.
Another prize in voting contest for
popularity was fine dressing mirror by
Miss Audenoia Bauchet, she having re-
ceived 235 votes. Miss Thornton, Fran
ces Smith and Bertha Ross came next in
order on the list.
During tho evening wonders of chances
in ratfles kept up lively traffic, and in
many instances all of the chances were
aolu. The result of the different rattle
will not be known until some time dur
ing the wsok.
An effort was made by the auctloneers
to close out some of the STOCK remaining
on hand, and in most instances they
were remarkably successful. The ST..
Bernard pup donated by Mr.. Bradbury
brought $l7. Miss Bernard was the
lucky bidder.
OF the many hundreds of articles OF
every description offered tor sale or rattle,
the great portion has been disposed of,
and the managers and workers of the fair
are to be congratulated on having con-
