Sheriff Moses knows when brick wall
falls on him and has come to the sensi-
BILE conclusion since the meeting at the
court house Monday evening that poll
tics by injunction won't work.
There will he "hot time in old town

The Tammany organ, the Post, con,
tinues TO make vicious assaults on the
bulwarks of the silver republicans. The
Post is a violent foe but its energies are
misdrected as 1t should be helping to
build up that skeleton fort behind which
the democrats and populists will seek
refuge.
Probably Pueblo county will not send
any delegates to the silver republican
state cony yention See how near we are
to fool.-Reform Press.
A full set of delegates from this county
attended the silver republican conven-
tion at Glenwood Springs yesterday.
Comment is unnecessary.
The populists have called their con-
vention for the 10 inst, the same date
set by the democrats, and the fusion ele-
ment seems to be getting itself in shape
for political hand out. The antis are
making loud noise, and whether or not
it will amount to anything remains to be
seen.
Mr.. Teller will hardly mix up in Local
politics in Pueblo this year nor next
year. Mr.. Teller absolutely and prop
erly refused to mix up in local politics in
Denver last spring when pathetic ap-
peals were made to him by sundry poll
tlcians, and Mr.. Teller cannot afford to
retreat from that safe position now.
The Chieftain has joined few other
newspapers in extravagant praises Of A.
7. Stewards strength as candidate for
sheriff on the democratic ticket. After
awhile when the public gets the laugh
on them they will try to get out OF it by
winking the other eye and making be-
lieve that they were playing shrewd
political game. But it won't work.
F. G. Grady is growing in popularity
every day as candidate for constable on
the republican ticket. The colored pso-
pie have rallied to his support and he
has many white folks back Of him They
feel that the negro vote is entitled to
recognition. and that it should come to
Bessemer at that. They will ask for it
in the convention and it certainly cannot
be refused them. Grady is the man.
The republican convention must put
up good, honorable, acceptable mon for
office and then they can get together and
win out. II it is best to relegate mum
ber of the present office holders, why,
Just relegate. No nan is bigger than
his party in this fight, and every mans
aspirations must be held in allegiance to
the Party's good. This is politics; this
is business; this is common sense. 1t is
the only road to success.
Why do populsts permit avowsd soci-
alists to come into their meetings and
take an active part? What political
right have socialists to do so? They
would not be tolerated in a republican
or democratic meeting for an instant, as
they represent different party alto
gether The populists are the only ones
who will tolerate their interference at
all. They should not do 30.
The coored philosopher happened in
again the other day but said he had not
been doing power OF thinkin' since
last time. The days was too hot for
that he said, but he would bring his
gray matter to bear on the political stu
alton little later on. However, he ven
tured to say this much: "You sec that
there is two fractions in the republican
party. They is gwine to be split il we
doan git together. The republicans can
git the colored folks il they mako the
right kind OF conceptions. They must
look to the 'servatives an let the ratified
ones be. Then they will be all right.
Yes, sir; they will be all right an ready
for fight" This much and no more
would he say. But he WAS all right in
his logic as far as he went.
