ron sur,.saE JUDGE.

The past seven days has been poll

there is 0a: one state officer 10 elect
supreme judge. ON Thursday, the snd.
the Popuiists met al Sallda aud nomi-
mated for that place Judge Gabbart, OF

Thus we have three candidates now
In the field, Populist, Democrat and
Republican. The old conditions of
years ago have been revived and the
light is ON between the three old par
ties. As all three candidates declare
themselves to be staunch silver men
that question will not be agitated in
the present state campaign. With no
vital difference between the platforms
ON which the three candidates stand
IL will be campaign. OF man against
man, judge VS.. judge,
1t is generally conceded by all that
the chances for election lay between
Judge Hayt and Judge Gabbart, with
everything in favor of Judge Hayt.

AN ASSURED rAor.

The announcement III another col
umn headed ITO the Public would not
do Its whole duty II it did not leave the
impression thai the much talked of and
hard worked for railroad was now an
assured fact. For some weeks the local
directors have felt sure that all was
well and now that contracts Tor the
bonds are signed aud the money will be
forthcoming they feel free to talk freely
anc make merry over the accomplish
ment. The directors have had much to
contend with and worry over in their
efforts TO bring this about and now
that the end is here and their efforts
have been rewarded with the greatest
success they feel justly proud.

of so long and the people have been as
sured SO many times that the deal was
about TO be consummated some people

The CHAMPION Nurderers.

In the middle of January 1896 this
community was shocked by the
murder of w. c. Champion on his
ranch on Currant Creek in the upper
part of this county Mr. Champion
was well known to many but was
better known OH account of his
brother, Don G. Champion. During
the past twenty months the murder
has remained mystery and has been
forgotten by nearly all Now it ap
pears that the brother of the murdered
man has all this time been working in
dustriously to fsrrit out the guilty
parties. and as result four men have
been arrested during the past week and
placed in jail charged with this awful
deed. These men are Charles +. Case,
late ''king of Freshwater," J G..
Sepchen who was once a partner of the
murdered man, James Day once a
partner of Case, and Patrick Monag-
han, a prospector. 1t is hardly prob
able that all the men are guilty but it
is pretty certain that out of the four
the guilty man or men will be taken.

that the output of Cripple Creeks
mines will be largely increased. That
will necessitate the erection of addi-
tionaI mills, and there is no reason why
some of the increased milling activity
should not be at Canon City.
Although the road from Canon City
will be only a short distance west of
the one now running to Cripple Creek
from Florence, il will in measure
open up the interior region. That is a
part of the state which needs better
communication with the outside world.
and doubtless the railroad will obtain
much profitable traffic from the inter
mediate points Denver Republican.

The country has never been as bad
oil as the croakers and calamity howl
ers contended, during the past four
years. but we all know that things were
not what they should be. They are get.
ting all right now, however. and there
is every reason TO believe that an era
of prosperity has already set in. The
great trade centers are thermometers
of the business situation, and every
word that comes to us from the capi-
tais OF trade Is encouraging.
THAT wise remark is from the Allan
tn Journal and was written by Hoke
Smith, the man who resigned cabinet
position and returned to Georgia to
campaign for WI. Bryan. With all
his faults Mr.. smith now sees that
honesty is the best policy and tha,
there Is no use to deny y fact that is ~

SHOWS SINCERITY.

In nominating Justice Hayt for re-
election the Mckinley Republicans
nave demonstrated their sincerity in
two ways. For years it has been a
principle of the Republican party in
Colorado that the Judiciary, and especi-
ally the supreme bench, should be above
the level of partisan politics, that men
the gravest and most important con
stitutional and legal questions should
owe their position to their personal
character and their intellectual qualifi-
cations rather than to their adhesion to
"A party dogma. Judge Hayt is Rep
ublican, it is true, but he is a Silver
Republican and with others claims to
be outside of the regular ranks His
nomination, therefore. is in 10 sense
Endorsement of his political views; it is
a striking recognition of his character,
his ability and his services AS a Judge.
The Republicans at Denver also
showed their sincerity in another way
by nominating Silver Republican.
We claim that the silver question has
nothing TO do with the present cam
paign in Colorado. We claim that the
interests OF the state and the interests
OF all its citizens require that all Rep
ublicans should unite in contest for
good government throughout the state
We want 10 see Republicans of the
character and ability of Judge Hayt in
every Office IN the state, and We con
sider IL of altogether minor Importance
whether they believe IN a gold stand.
ard, ia International bimetallism or in
10 To /. Judge Hayt was unquestion-
aoly the best man for the position, and
III nominating him the Republicans
showed that they mean what they say
IN declaring THAI the division now ex-
istiDg between Republicans is foolish
unwise and unnecessary Colorado .

the schemes the News has ON foot to
