The Pioneer.

A correspondent has been making some
comparisons on the investment position
OF the prominent gold shares, and sends
the results OF his comparison OF MERGED
and Pioneer. Assuming that the irst
rush OF speculative excitement is over in
both stocks, and that the time has come
to figure on them as dividend payers, he
says: III own 200 shares Of MERGED,
which cost me much less than the pres
ent price, and have been considering an
exchange into Pioneer. At $3l, 200
shares MERGED figure -, 200; at $40, 900
shares OF Pioneer can be bought for So

neer in July, or 5000, and in January ~
or 81 200 more, n total OF $1,000 In
dividends in about nine months, or over
40 per cent on the principal Allowing
for carrying out OF the plans for trebling

vested ought to increase substantially.
Now Tor MERGED to return the same diyi-
dend yield IL would have To pay % n

the MERGED will begin paying dividends

easier for Pioneer TO sell up to 80 than

The fact that this exhibition and the

to the people of the several counties of
Colorado, and all county organizations
will find that this great display will sur
pass all former systems of exhibiting the

WILL WATSON TUMBLE!

Charles Fl. Randall. nominated as one
of the electors on the Wyoming populist
ticket, has withdrawn his name and ten
dered his resignation as candidate.
Mr.. Randall says in his letter Of declina-
tion that the almost unanimous vote Of
Wyoming will be for Bryan and Sewall,
and that Bryan and Watson electors will
only tend in this state to aid the Nc
Kinley ticket. He suggests that the
populists withdraw their state ticket and
fuse with the democrats.
Kansas populists have endorsed the
democratic electors.
Iowa, ditto.
Illinois, ditto.
New York, ditto.
South Carolina. ditto.
California divided its electors giving
8 to the populists and to the democrats.
The Colorado populists can be depend
ed upon to nominate the democratic
electors.
With only Texas and Georgia fighting
for him it looks very much like Watson
would take tumble and pull off Of
