The improvements recently made in

Those who are condemning the Rail-

that the railroad authorities are doing

be higher than the pike or the stones

on his former record. He is backed
by the Cour d'Alene miners, who
have started all the past riots in the
state, and have just brought the
Leadville strike to bloody climax,
The other ticket is the democratic
''white- blaekbird''- millionaire combi-
nation of mine owners and smelters,
aided by the state treasury ring. Its
candidate for governor is ex Governor
Adams, of ute war" fame, million
are mine owner, and for lieutenant
governor Simon Guggenheim, little
sawed-off sheeney, and millionaire
smelter magnate- The deputy state
treasurer is their candidate for state
treasurer. This tickets main strength
is in Denver where the Tramway and
Union Water companies and state
treasury ring practically run things.
The strings attached to this ticket
are manipulated by Martin Currigan,
A NJ Stevenson, H. H Eddy and
Otto Mears.
These tickets are animated by pure
motives of principle only, SO their
promoters assure us, each one is the
only genuine silver ticket in the field,
and each candidate is animated by
patriotic desire to serve the people
and assist in the noble work of plac-
ing this state on level with Mexico
aud China.
Shut your eyes and take your
choice.

a Frank Statement.

A number of letters have recently
been published by the Denver papers
from prominent eastern men, giving
then reasons for supporting free
coinage of silver at the ratio of l6 to /.
When these letters suited the editor
they We're published in full, others
We're purged of Objectionable para
graphs, while large number have
been carefully suppressed. The fol-
lowing letter from NJ. II. Madison, of
Gates, New York, they were very
careful not to publish, although he is
staunch l6 to l advocate Here is
the letter:
"One of the strongest reasons L
have for voting for Bryan and free
silver is that it will reduce wages
similar to other countries adhering
to the silver standard
I'm this country wages have not
declined. The farmer, manufacturer
and merchant are called upon to pay
higher wages than we can afford to
pay to compete with the countries
having silver for standard. Food
and clothing have declined so per
cent, but wages have not.
Free coinageaof silver is what this
country should have to bring down
the price of labor. Then we can buy
two days labor for the present price
of one. This will give us a chance
to compete without loss"

State Politics.


at the McKinleyites in this state.
They charged all who were supporting
Mckinley with being spoils- hunters,
and alleged that theirown parties were
actuatcd solely by principle. These
parties were the silver party, popu-
lists, democrats aud Bryan. .republi-
cans, or white blackbir.is" as they
have appropriately been termed.
These four parties recently held
state conventions simultaneously with
the moved intention of nominating
an independent ticket of silver lead
ers, which would be sure of election
and thus stop political fighting in
this state, and enable everybody to
60 east and work for silver. No
sooner did they get together than the
most corrupt and disgraeeful scram-
BILE for office ever known in tho state
commenced, men fairly tumbled over
each other in their eagerness to either
get an Office or sell their influence.
The result of their desperate and
corrupt chickering's is several tickets,
most bitter aud personal warfare
started, loud charges OF bribery and
corruption, divided parties and fiery
reeriminations amongst leaders, while
one state senator was driven to in
sanity, aud lies in tho Denver hospital
moaning and raving because the
Bryan-republicans want too much
Doodle for their votes. II this be
principle, we hope the state will be
spared the disgrace of another exhi-
bition OF it for many years to come.
The populists divided at the start
into middle of roads," who put up
a straight ticket, and Pattersonians.
After the wrangle alluded to above
the Patterson populists and silyerites
fused, and the -blackbirds. for
a substantial consideration were de-
livered to the democrats. From all
over the state comes assurances that
the rank aud file OF the silver repub-
licans repudiate the open sale of their
votes.
The leading ticket of course is the
populist silver ticket. 1t bears the
trade mark .sPatterson's Own Make"
and is warranted strictly green goods,
none other genuine 1t is headed
by Judge Bailey for governor, who
very appropriately comes from Canon
City, and B. CLARK Wheeler, of '.rat
printer fame, for lieutenant COVER
nor. The wires on this ticket are
operated by Tom Patterson, key
Stevens aud Joe Williams, celebrated
Denver "reformers," and Joe Elwell
of Pueblo, well know here as an ''ar-
dent reformer."
Next comes the middle of road
populists headed by Davis II. Waite,
of bloody brides" fame, for COVER
nor. This is known as the free riotn
tictet and the old man is rllnnincy
