controllable as TO lead to riot. we feel as
sured that that eminent man of war, the
Silver Republican General Moses, with
his Republican staff, "Doc." Locke,
"Doc." Parkhill and the rest. would haste
to the rescue upon receipt of an order
from the governor transmitted through
his Republican private secretary by his
Republican messenger, the valiant Col

Surely there were enough Democrats to
help the Silver Republicans put George
Kephart in his rich $1,000 chair, and
Harry Mulnix, John w. Lowell, Henry
Tarbell, George Temple, General Carr,
Mr.. Reed, George Thorne, Captain Nc
'Gwire, Mr.. Jackson. the head janltor, and
the boys who run the elevators, and the
guides to the wonders OF our joint prop

"squlrters' of water and heroers of lawn
galore, Republicans to man, roof to

what Mr.. Teller is going to do about it.
When the Mckinleyites nominate Hayt
for justice of the supreme court, will Mr.
Mr.. Teller advise his followers to do the
same? Will the leader of Colorado
democracy consent to support Judge

contingency to give our support to the
erratic Colonel John McAndrews.
