DEBS ARRIVES.
The hearts of the members of the
press committee were gladdened by the
appearance in the room about o'clock
of no less a person than Eugent V.
Debs of American Railway union fame.
Debs greeted every man present by his
name and appeared just as glad to
meet his friends as they were to see
him. He is looking as healthy as when
he was here before, and may have
grown a trifie heavier.
After greetings had been exchanged
a new arrival who proved to be the
editor of the Leadville Miner. asked
anxiously whether the address of the
president had been delivered or not and
on being answered in the affirmative,
opened a large bundle of papers he
was carrying and released a couple of
hundred copies containing the same in
full it having been furnished the paper
for publication some days ago.
Just at this moment Clifford, one of
the press committee. came in and made
a declaration. 1t was this:
Say boys. we have got to go around
to the papers and fix up that matter of
Boyce's address where it refers to guns
and the militia. I tell you it won't do.
There are several of the boys kicking
and they say it is going to hurt. 1t
will prevent organization and Will do
us a lot of damage. We will have TO
ask the papers to hold that out"
But" suggested the Leadville man.
at has already been printed and the
Rocky Mountain News has copy TO
be released tomorrow morning and Ii
will be telegra phed all over. 1t is too
late now: besides what diff ference does
it make?'
stand by your guns said Debs, un-
making pun on the rifle
question.
..Oh, as far as it concerns me-" said
Clifford. Il am not caring, but there are
a few weak kneed men among us and
I don't want to hurt them. That's all
I care for it. / believe it's all right my
SELF"
Debs suggested that the committee
could take action on the matter and
besides. the federation hadn't acted
upon the address at all.
..All right" said Clifford. with sigh, /
''let 'er co. and there the incident /
ended.
DEBS' COLONY SCHEME.
Debs said concerning the scheme, re- |
ported as being fathered by him, for I
the colonization of Utah. that it was
something which he hadn't authorized /
at all.
Yes. and the Mormons are hot on |
your trail" said one of the delegates
present.
They are, are they! answered the
eader. with a laugh. well. it isn't
he first time people have been on my /
trail.
Continuing, Debs said there wasn't /
any such idea as that conveyed by the
publication. If a few men with fam
lies and means to begin farming
.ould be settled on some of the unoc-
.upied lands of the west, he would be
pleased to see it done, in view of the
condition of affairs in the
asst but as for any great march on
Utah. or any other state, none was con-
emplated, that he knew of. 1t would
,e adding to mems distress to under
axe anything of the sort.
Debs didn't know of any arrange :,
nents for speech by him and said he
lid not know whether he would make
. talk while here or not. He was inter-
sted in the work and came over to see
low the boys were getting along. On
he trip west he had stopped at Den
er. Leadville and other towns of Colo
ado.
1t was announced later that Debs
would address the meeting today and
hat arrangements for a public meeting
night be made.
