bulletin of tue l.. A. W. racing board that
the Chicago Cycling Club has been debarred
from all sanction privileges for period "r
six months. Will doubtless cause,much com-
ment not only in the Western cities, but
N cycling circles elsewhere, as the c!ub
is one of tie largest and most influential
in the West and one OF the representative
wheeling organizations OF the country
The trouble originated about SIX weeks
ago, when it was elaine by officers OF the
club that Frederick Gerlach, the local mem
ue- O! the l.. A w. racing board, had used
his official position TO further the interests
Of a rival organization TO their detrinent,
by granting to the latter a sanction which
-ightfully belonged 70 them. The charges
were given wide publicity, and Mr.. Gerlach
demanded an investigation by the remain
der OF the committee, who decided that
-he charges were groundless, aud that tie
penalty announced should be inflicted.

Business Mems League of Denver,a a
partisan body with member
ship of 5, 600 showing the effect of
two years. of Populist administra-
tion upon t he state of Colorado:
Mr.. Joseph W. Baocock, Chairman
republican committee, Washing>
ton D. G.
Dear Sir The letter of your
committee to Mr.. John E. Leet,
asking for statement of the Pop
ulist rule in Colorado, has been re-
ferred for an answer to this body,
the Denver Business Mems League,
consisting Of 5000 business men
partly republicans, and partly
Democrats and partly recent pop
ulists.
Populist rule in Colorado has
been like devasting forest fire.
BY destroying our credit, which is
the life of commerce, 1T has con-
sumed for the time being, not less
than $500, 100000 of values in
this state, Colorado's credit was
so high that the borrowing power
of her property ranked in the last
census next to that of New York.
This borrowing power, this main
spring of our splendid progress,
has been temporarily paralyzed by
the accid eutiaf asceudency cf q
party which stands for Reputation
and fiatism and is not Il true friend
to hard silver money.
The property OF Denver was as
sessed for 500, 0O0,0 600 and was
worth three times that sum wher
tho Populists came into power.
Notwithstanding the city's inevita
bly, brilliant future the average
selling price of this property, pend
ing the overthrow of Waitism, has
shrunk two thirds.
Silver has declined only twenty
five per cent, or less than th'
average product of the other state
while the increasd value and ou
put of gold, together with ou
bountiful crops, have more thai
made up the shortage. Therefor
not over one-half of our shrinkag
OF values can be charged to tn
panic and the universal deprecia
tion resulting from the gold stand
ard. The other one half of loss i
due directly and wholly to the de
struction of confidence by pop'lis
misrule.
