The Rio $srande Dry.

The bed of the Rio Grande at and below
Ell Paso is as dry as st. Louis street on
windy day, and the farmers in the valley
are complaining that they will not even
be able to raise watermelon crop. II Is
nine weeks since this section was visited
by rain and the river has gone dry at q
season of the year when the flood waters
from the melting snow IN the mountains are
usually overtlowing its banks, and as
consequence farms in the valley are ruined
and the people are boring wells in hopes
of securing enough water to save their
orchards and vineyards. Mr. B.Leibman
was in from Ysleta and said:
"Everything is failure in the valley
this year. Owing to the drouth all crops
are lost, not even the wheat crop can be
saved; and the people have resorted to
buckets and we'll water in an effort to save
their fruit trees and vines from total de-
struction. Ell Paso Times.

Senator Vest has been received by Col. J

c., May 30, 1896: My Dear Hickey
Yours of the 9th has just been received

willing to place the matter in my hands

me a labor of love as we'll as one of con
viction. believe that he is the proper
nominee, and I will do everything ar
honorable man can do to secure his nomi
nation.

Chicago. So far as am concerned, this

REPUBLICANS SCARED.
Washington.-The statesmen in Wash.
ington are giving more attention to fig
uring on the political situation than they
are to legislation. The rise of the silver
tide makes new calculations necessary in
both parties. It is not expected to affect
McKinley's chances at st. Louis in the
/ slightest, but the framing of platform
is becoming to Republicans matter oi
much graver concern than it was week
ago. They are badly divided as to what
is the wisest course. Some Of the leaders
declare that the st. Louis convention
must now come out urequivocally for the
gold standard; others Insist that such 9
declaration would make Republican sue
cess doubtful.
COLORADO is TRUE.
Denvar.-The New York World sent
the following telegram to President
Steele, of the chamber of commerce yes
terday:
"President Chamber of Commerce OIL
Board of Trade-Please telegraph US al
our expense whether, in your Judgment
the free silver sentiment is growing ir
your vicinity, also what will be the effect
on the Democrat party of the adoption
of free silver platform by the Chicago
convention"
President Steele is absent from thu
city and Vice President j. j. Joslin an
swered the telegram as follows:
editor New York World:-The people
of Colorado, ever mindful of the best in
terests of the masses, and thoroughly con
versant with the money question, vii

parties that has the welfare of all Amer
lea at heart and is honest enough to de
clare openly for free silver platform.
