THOSE who wish evil to the republic
can party in Pueblo county next fall will
be doomed to disappointment. The
democrats will be astounded to find the
&. O. p. machine well oiled and in good
running order as before the canker OF
discomfort set in, and the little crowd
of self styled true blues now roosting in
the Board of Trade will be treated to a
surprise not on the programme, Sena-
tor Wolcott is shrewd politician above
everything else and is onto the situation
here. The true blues" will obey his
command with the greatest alacrity
and they will awake some fine morning
in the not far distant future to find a
psremptory order from the senator charg
ing them to in no wise interfere with the
regular proceedings OF the republican
party. The silverites are on top, and Ed
is too shrewd and too ambitious to per
petuate a destructive political warfare.
The county central committee will pro-
ceed along the old lines in the calling of
primaries or the convention, and no out

or tolerated. This information is reli-

I'VE directory of tho Bessemer Build
ing and Loan association has decided to
limit tho new series of stock to 800
shares, and the chances are that there
will not be anything like shares enough
to supply the demand. Over 200 shares
Of the new series have already been sub
scrided for by new members, and it is a
certainty that when the old members
begin to renew there is going to be a
big scramble. 1t is claimed that by
limiting the amount OF stock sold, the

will be more valuable. II there is an
