sIR:--RSHerring 20 your letter Of March 1S
1891, asking the status Of lots l and OF s. w.
"A Sec 81, Up. 90, s. r. GA W., Pueblo district,
you are advised that said tract Is embraced in
pre.emptlon entry No. S77, Denver series, to
John 8. Goddard, which was patented NOvem-
Der 4, 1890. Very respectfully,
W. NJ. STONE, Acting Commissioner.
1t now appears that J ohm s. Goddard
has "title" to lots l and 2, by Patent
No. /, as "Cssh entry No. ST." and has
also "title" to lots 1 and 2, by Patent
No. 2, as ''pre.emption entry No. 877. 3"
The Benjamin F. Harrison patent No,
2 Is, then, on the sly, a patent to John
s. Goddard for lots / and 2 as "pre.
emption entry No. ST." Therefore,
the President Harrison patent No. 2
is intended, By fraud, to perfect a pub
lie land steal that has millions In It.
THE PRooURER.
To get President Harrison, by pat.
ent, to unlaWfully convey to John s.
Goddard the same two lots. In 1890,
that were unlawfully conveyed to the
said Goddard by patent from President
Grant in 1870, was rather q tlcklish
job; and it takes q wealthy corporation
to have such Q job done. Hence, the
usual thing happened. A representa-
tive Of the land grant corporation goes
on to Washington with plenty Of
money. His mission Is to obtain pat
ent No. 2 without the usual formality.
Only John s. Goddard must figure in
this dlsreputable transaction. Not for
the world would the wealthy and highly
respectable gentlemen Of that corpora
tiOn have their names 60 on record as
the cOrruptors Of public officers with
view to q land steal that has millions
in it. Patent No. 2, therefore, must be
obtained by someone who takes such
jobs as that for the big pay there is in
1t, and who has the necessary undue
influence to obtain an unlawful pat.
ent, through Justification of the rec.
ord, without Juggling in anybody but

L. Harrison, who was Commissioner
Willismson's right-hsnd man, does not
know about land office tricks I'd like
to know who does. And further:
Statesmen would fall If L. Harrison
fell. "He's your man, Jackson; by all

pie see and comprehend the present

must followP Or have the politicians
and parties so confused and con-
founded them that they are utterly
unable to find their way out Of the
complications In which Shey are in.
Volved, and which were expressly de-
vised for that purpose, to further the
designs Of those who during the war
set about undermining our democratic
government and institutions and de-
livering them over to the privileged
few who have SO successfully domi-
mated the masses Of mankind in all
time pastP Did the founders Of our
government then commit grand mis-
take when they recognized the soVer-
eighty Of the whole people and their
capacity to rulep 1t rests with as to
answer that question, as the work Of
the fathers is now on trial as never be-
fore. And as a nation possessing one
quarter Of the wealth Of the entire
world and resources greater than those
Of all Europe, must we acknowledge beat
and return to our allegiance to the Old
World, as advised by Cleveland, Car
Isle & Coz For one l obiect-em-
phsticslly objectl
"True the administration of our sf-
fairs has eliminated in the most gl-
gsntic scheme Of public robbery and
impoVerishment of the masses that the
ingenuity of devils ever conceived or
the remorseless cupldity of man ever
executed" And on its results will
hinge the character and destiny of our
institutions for years to come, If not
for all time. By leglslating 40 and go
per cent. bonds to a premium, the peo-
pie who have them to pay were legis-
lated into poverty. And by striking
down our national currency and max
ing every business and enterprise de-
pendent on banks for its very existence,
q favored few were empowered to
skim the cream of the product Of the
toiler and so to live and grow fat at
the expense of the latter, and without
any labor of its own. The result of
this Is shown by the official statistician
Of the government at Washington, who
says "that the total net private in
debtedness Of the American people In
1880 was but 90, ,750. .00O, 600; but in Sep

SideEation, too, seldom taken into &C.

several governments municipal,
county, State and nstiOn), which has
been at least $4,000, 100000 since the
war; enough to impoverish the most
enterprising people that ever existed
on the face Of the earth. And what Is
worse, it would not be difficult to show
that One.half this sum has been dumped
into the Golfers Of schemers and specu.
lat0rs like those who manipulated
our Pacific railroads and the TWeeds
and other public thieves who abound
in our cities and at the cspi.

Wssteful enterprises like our navy;

better off are we than our fellows in
the Old WorldP They were brought
to the same condition by the same
means. We pity them, and yet are In
the very slough Of debt and bonds
and taxes where they WslloW. And
what is worse, no one seems to be able
to point the way out of our compllCa.
tions. Behold the disgraceful spec
tacle Of our government employing a
British syndicate of bankers to save as
in our extremity, as is said, and at an
enormous bonus for the service. And
Cleveland is not alone responsible for
this. He has only followed in the foot
steps of his predecessors and executed
the program of John Sherman and the
Republican party, who brought all this
upon us by running the government
entirely in the interest of bankers,
bondholders, capitalists and corpora
tions, entirely ignoring and disregard
ing the interests of the masses of the
American people who must sweat now
as q consequence. Contemplate the
ruin it has worked already. A friend
at my elbow represents thousands of
farmers when he says: "I have
worked hard and practiced a rigid
economy for years, and yet am not as
well off as was ten years ago. But

Acres--fell into the hands Of q wealthy
land grant corporation. This corpora.
tion, you know, not content with
$1,000 acres, stole, among other steals,
very valuable tract Of land adjoining
their alleged Mexican grant that is now
the heart Of the city Of Pueblo and
worth, say, S3O,OOO,OOO. When the
grant corporation saw the coming
value Of the said tract it had the tract
entered, in the name Of John s. God.
dsrd, as cash entry No. 877, and "pat
ented."
PATENT NO. /.
The preamble Of patent No. /, Sep.
tember 20, 1870, Is as follows:
''WHEREAs, John S. Goddard, of
Pueblo county, Colorado Territory,
has deposited in the general land Office
Of the United States a certificate Of
the register of the land office of Denver
city, Colorado Territory, whereby it
appears that full payment has been
made by the said John s. Goddard,
according to the provisions of the act
of Congress of the oath day Of April,
1880, entitled AN act for making pro-
visions for the sale Of public lands,
for the lots One and Two Of the south
west quarter Of section Thirty.one, in
township Twenty, south Of range
Sixty.four west, In the district Of lands
subject to sale at Denver city, Colo.
rado Territory, containing one hun
dred and sixty.two acres and seventy
hundredths Of an acre."
When the existence Of this patent
was made known to the town.lot set.
tiers they were taken by surprise. They
could not quite understand where that
'.cash entry" came In under said act
Of 1890. Under this aged act it seems
that public land could be disposed of
at public auction in hslf.qusrter sec.
tions. The settlers sscertained that no
such sale had been made, and that the
said tract Of land was not subjected in
1870 to cash entry. The settlers fur.
ther obtained Q transcript Of record
showing that lot was the southwest
quarter Of section S6-a regular mUl.
tWm IN parDo donble.formed mon.
strosity. The settlers proceeded to
dght this illegitimate monster patent
No. In the courts, and, of course, "got
beat" but they certainly must have
given the corporation a pretty good
shaking up for the reason that the said
corporation found 1t necessary In order
70 perfect their steal to obtain another
patent.
PATENT NO. 2.
Patent No. 2 has three wheresses,
the first whereas reciting the facts as
to patent No. already given. The
next two whereases are as follows:
"WHEREAs, 1t appears that, by sub
nsQnent surveys, the description of
