Ne VIII pun oTdtoT IlOOl up against
any fusion orator as story teller.
Chairman McAliney would make a
hot campaign if he only knew how.
An appropriate tune for this evening
will be there's hot time in old town
tonight
Vote for Mrs. Shepherd. She will
make an exceptionally fine superintend-
ent of schools.
There is no moss, no fogyism on or
about the republican candidates. They
are all strictly up to date.
Vote for Hartsoe for county commits
sioner. He is "A safe man and the good
OF the county requires his election.
Bessemer is going to give the twin
ticket such a staggering blow that 1t
will not recover its equilibrium in years.
Chairman Abbey is always the same
cool, calculating, serene Sam. He is a
safe leader in mixed-up campaign Of
this kind
The republican ticket is going to win
from top to bottom. This prediction is
made unressrvsdly and will remain un-
qualified.
1t is to be hoped that the degrading
method of house-to- house canvassing
will end with the defeat of the fusienists
this camI aign.
When is democrat not democrat?
When he has to get off a ticket to give Il
pop the place. He simply says TO him
self, "I'll see you later."-Mail
M. A. Carey has the earnest support
of every lawyer in the city. This is say
ing everything in his favor and leaves
Calamity Morriss out in the cold.
Editor Kelly is putting up good
fight for the fusion ticket but tho name
of Calamity Morriss is a damper on his
ardor. That kind of fusion is little too
much for Kelly.
Henry Anderson was fairly and square
ly the candidate Of vast majority OF
the colored people and it is due them
than he shall be elected constable. He
is worthy and competent. Vote for him.
In spite OF the boosted strength of
Saunders he is one of the three men on
whom the democrats are concentrating
their efforts. j. f. Drake will be the
next district attorney. He will leave
his opponent by the roadside and will
fill the office with credit
John II. Kirkland has walk away for
assessor. He has great merits to run on,
and besides, the public understands
very we'll that it would never do to elect
his opponent. 1t requires a careful,
competent and courteous man to be
county assessor, and Mr.. Kirkland pos
sesses all of those traits.
The welfare of the county demands
the re ELECTION Of W. l.. Rses as commits
sioner. The best interests of every tax
payer requires it. Mr.. Rees is always to
be found guarding the public welfare.
Able, conscientious and fearless, he
stands for what public servant should
be and is the right man in the right
place.
The office of coroner is very import
ant one from the fact that in case the
sheriff should go wrong the coroner is
the man to take him into custody and
perform the official duties of the office.
This, aside from the ordinary duties of
the coroner's office which are always of
an important character, and it is in his
power to pile up or keep down expenses.
DIR. A. L. Fugard fills the requirements
OF tirst-class coroner and should be
elected.
Fields Mcmillan graduated on the
prairie, out in Gods oroad open school
where bis young mind was not festered
by modern political rottenness.
It's pity to spoil an unsophisticated
youth like that by importing him up
from the rural districts of Huerfano
county and making dupe of him. He'll
be u wiser young man after the demo
Gratis put him through the school of
modern political rottenness." Eth, Kel
ly?
The race between the democrats and
republicans is like mile race between
broncho an n thoroughbred race horse.
The fretful little broncho shows plenty
OF fire, puts on lots Of style and starts
out well, but is badly winded by the
time in reaches tho quarter-stake. The
trained and cool thoroughbred starts in
easy, gradually begins to lead out, out
distances the little fellow and, to show
what he can do, comes down the home
stretch in magnificent burst Of speed
that brings the crowd to its feet. The
dsmocrats were running faster two
weeks ago than they are today. Like
the fussy little horse they are now at
the 9uarter-stske and badly winded.
They Take II Back.
