area extends up the Yukon from the
American boundary at least 400 miles

Over all this area good indications have

The movement was commanded by

Attended BY serious losses. The

behind the, rocks, showing wonderful
audacity and keeping up heavy fire at
short range upon the British troops.
Only the admirable disposition made by
General Wostmacott Of his troops saved
the rear guard. The general person.
ally held the men together and saw all
the wounded taken away before he re.
tired himself. On the way back to

AS the trusty organ OF the democracy
the esteemed Post felt called upon to re-
spond TO the invitation OF the INDIcAroR
to lay aside the party name, as silver re
publicans would do, and all meet on
common ground US simply in the silver
party. But it refuses the offer, saying
that democracy means all silver people
believe" Tho trouble is it doesn't stop
at that. Tho Chicago platform contains
things that republicans cannot as body
accept. The silver republicans of Colo
RADIO are the real promoters of the silver
cause, but while they made all manner
of sacrifices for it and bolted the national
party, still they have never been recon-
ciled to the Chicago platform IN its on
tirety, nor are they at all likely to be-
1t is asking too much Of them.
The democrats are out for the offices
and calculate on getting them through a
continued disruption in the ranks OF the
republicans and fusion with the popu-
lists. Left to themselves and they
scarcely rise to the dignity OF being
called party. Bro Kelley says "the re-
suit OF last falls election shows that the
democratic party is much alive in Pu-
eblo county" but he knows as well rs
anybody that if the two wings OF the re
publicans get together the democratic
party that went up like rocket will

ment that the company was to receive
$4,000 from combine OF Eastern con-
Germs for doing nothing, and this do
nothing policy does not suit the citizens
OF Pueblo at all. From the best infor-
nation obtainabls it seems that the G.
F. & 1. Co. did not get the promised
slSO,0OO owing probably to the big fight
gotten up between Carnegie and the Hi
nois Steel company, and the bribs may
never be paid. Ths C. F. L l. Co. is big
enough and powerful enough to do bust
ness Independently Of those Eastern
concerns. and We do hope that it will
rise in dignity and business policy above
bribe taking in the future.
