couragingly of the big mass meeting Of
the heads of the various and many labor
organizations Of the country which will

predicts that it will be one Of the most

The Noble Few.

Much credit is due to those few popu
lists who refused to be sold like sheep to
the democratic octopus, but got up and
left the convention hall. BY doing this
they inserted their independence and
their manhood, and their stand for prin-
ciple will have its influence among the
populists of the county even as the bolt
of Teller and his patriot band affected
the result Of the election in Colorado
one year ago. Those populists who re.
fused to be dragged into a oishonorahle
alliance will repudiate the schemers and
get back at them on election day.
Many OF them are now among the most
ardent supporters Of the republican

CAMPAIGN BRIEFS.

The democrats will entertain the Pu-
eblo Poultry association at their head
quarters one night next week
The ward heeling tactics of the demo-
cratic central committee will never make
sheriff of Plug McGutlin.
The Courier is for George Rhoades for
constable. That settles your fate,
George. The hoodoo has you, sure.
The democratic -populist combine an
nounced to the public that it opened ITS
campaign the night of the 9th inst but
from all appearances about headquarters
it will need opening again.
If Fields Mcmillan were a wise man
he would put his shfieyalty boom away
on cold storage until he learns the way
of Pueblo politics. Its the purse the
democratic central committee is after
and not Mac.
DIR A. l.. Fugard is one of the most
popular candidates on the republican
ticket and will add strength to it. He
will be the next coroner and will make
an exceptionally good one. The public
as well as the party is fort unate in his
nomination.
If it were to be matter of business
and not matter Of palitics, then even a
blind goose would say, elect the republi-
can ticket. The democrats have shown
by experience in city affairs that they
have an enormous capacity for msman-
agement Of public affairs.
The Reform Press has always made a
boast of standing squarely on the Omaha
platform and keeping in the middle of
road 1t is now supporting the unholy
combine of demo pops. No wonder that
its write-ups of the candidates sound
like paid testimonials of Chamberlain s
Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy.
Henry Anderson, nominee for consta
Bile on the republican ticket, is possessed
of good qualities for that position. He
is intelligent, diligent and trusty and al.
ways gives the best satisfaction wherever
employed. He has lots of friends among
all classes of people where he is known
and is making strong campaign.
The democratic and popuist candi.
dates who are all orely in trouble are
going in body tonight to consult
