Carlisle hands down. Keep your eye on
that spruce young man.
".4iiee samee,' one duck. yes fifty
ducks did not become brakes. and the
the Silver Republicans leave the Repub-
lican Party split. The first sign of a
Democratic victory in Pueblo County, at
least OF the defeat OF the Moses gang -
The Individual.
We didn't understand Just exactly
how the thing was but now it is all as
clear as mud 10 us. 1t is cold day
when some Of the newspaper fraternity
don't get on the inside.
j. l.. Beaman has reconsidersd his de-
clination to become a candidate for sher-
if and is now out with his friends bard
at work for that place. He is clearly the
logical candidate for the republicans to
nominate. He will be a splendid head
to the ticket and fully able to bear the
brunt OF the battle. The best republi-
cans all over the city have been at him
to run, and now that he has consented
there is general rejoicing in the camp.
Hurrah for Beaman!
The name OF F. w. Hull is more fre.
quently mentioned than any other as
candidate for county clerk on the demo.
cratic ticket Mr.. Hull was city clerk a
few years back and by his ability, strict
attention to business and uniform cour-
tesy, he made host OF friends who
kindly remember him now in his aspira-
for more than twenty years and is, there.
fore, entitled to recognition on the score
OF long residence. The way it looks now
he is very likely to be nominated and
will materially strengthen his party
ticket in that part.
For some weeks, there has been a
whisper that A. T. Stewart, manager OF
the Stewart Carriage company, would
take some kind OF silver nomination for
sheriff this fall. We hadn't thought
much about it until the papers began to
hiss and howl, and the INDICATOR even
fired red hot poetry at him, and then it
sorter dawned upon the people that they
were afraid OF him. A. 7. is man who
has always kept his word with the labor
ing people, he has world Of friends, is q
tirsless worker, and il they turn him
loose, as candidate, he will make
things lively for somebody.-ThsR Reform
Press.
Some time ago the INDICATOR nomina-
mated Captain l. Rsttlsum French for
sheriff on the democratic ticket, and
now comes an esteemed contemporary
and wants him on the republican ticket
for commissioner from the First district.
AS yet we do not feel called on to with
draw the nomination. II there is any
body who wants Robinson for school
superintendent and Orator Holmes for
something else, why, let them go to
boosting; but it seems right and proper
that the trio prove their allegiance to
the party Of Lincoln before their kite is
permitted to fly too high. While help
ing the democrats they should not ex-
pect too much Of the republican party,
and the captain is still in line for sheriff.
The INDICATOR acknowledges a call
from delegation OF half dozen rail-
road and smeltsr mon and steel workers
who were circulating around this week
in behalf OF representative for county
clerk. Ex-County Commissioner w. H.
Hubbard is their man, they said, and
they wished TO have his name brought
out before the public. Mr.. Hubbard
has always been highly regarded by the
laborin9 mon, and he quickened their
admiration when he went to work among
them again after dropping out Of Office.
He is now master mechanic at the Eiler
smelter, where he is trusted employe
and we'll liked by his fellow workingmen
for his fairness and kindly disposition to-
ward all. The delegation was feeling
around and claimed to be meeting with
much encouragement. Their candidate
is all they claim for him and no one can
say a word against him as citizen and
man.
II see," remarked the colorsd philoso
pher the other day, that the culled
folks Of the dimscratic suasion is gittin'
down to bizness. Now, they is Thomas
an Sam Mcclure; they does nothln' it
seems to mo but work aroun' 'mungst
the cullsd folks on the hill an in the
bottom. First it is mestin' in the Bes-
semsr city hall an then q hurrsh down
in the Grove. Sam Stewart, he puts in
lots Of licks, too, a. the same biznsss.
But as soon As the republican fractions
git together on fightin' platform We
other fellers will be right up to the
trough too. Now, I am constipated
about dis way: Whatever satfiss the
bulk Of the party satifies me, and whom
We all git our shoulders to the log it am
a gwins to turn. But We mus do biz
ness. Yes, sir; We mus do bizness. l
hopes Ssntor Drake will call the msstin'
