George E. Bragdon acted as chairman
of the greatest republican convention
that has over assembled in the county
The hosts got together last Tuesday and
clean, popular, strong ticket and a
winner was put in the field. Harmony
prevailed amid scenes OF enthusiasm
and activity which evidenced that the
differences between the various factions
had been fixed up, and the congratula-
tions received by the successful candi-
dates from all sides showed that the
delegates were imbued with the correct
spirit OF letting the best man win.
The convention held at the Board OF
Trade building was jammed full of
spectators from . o'clock p. IN. until 80
a. m. next morning when the convention
adjourned, showing the ksensst interest
in all the proceedings. The call to order
was made at 10 a. NJ. but nothing was
done except select chairman and sec
rstary and have the committees ap-
pointed.
The resolutions adopted are such that
no republican can take offenss at them,
which fact alone adds great strength to
the ticket, which was selected as follows:
For Sheriff,

lNTIoN NOTES.

CONVENTION NOTES.
Everybody except the political bosses
who got badly left, said it was tho most
representative convention ever held in
the city.
Senator Gordon's shapely Henri Wat
terson head bobbed up few times but
only few, and 80 no exceptions were
taken.
George Bragdon as chairman and Gus
Withers as secretary were the right men
in the right places.
Tho convention howled with delight
when that portion Of the platform was
read condemning the extravaganza and
mismanagement Of the present city ad-
ministration. Mayor Orman WIS not
there but he heard the echo.
A collection of $500 was taken up
for the benefit OF the famshing coal
miners Of the East. That is the sort Of
sympathy that counts.
Honorable Mrs. Carrie Clyde Holly
became funny and said in speech that
an honest man was probably tho rarest
Every body laughed except tho honest
men who looked wise and nodded assent.
Some thoughtful delegate voted for
Walpole for coroner 30 that he could
have the pleasure, probably, Of sitting on
the corps OF the Moses political power,
but the favor came too late to do Wally
any good. But then Wally is the most
cheerful politician in Pueblo and will
rise up again some day as strong as ever.
Tom Curtis thinks he was hoodood by
the Standard man who seconded his
nomination. 1t was just Toms luck.
Henry Anderson was chosen mascot
for the ticket.
Delegate Druley made the spread
eagle speech of the convention and
sandwiched in some good hard chunks
Of truth between his fights of oratory.
He roasted Grover Cleveland to finish
and the convention rslished the treat
heartily.
Rice. Rsss, Meales and Kirkland, the
big four, all received unanimous nomi-
nations and have good reason to feel
proud Of the records they have made in
office, and which made nominations by
acclamation possible.
The next day the democrats all left
town.
The political bssses were out Of Jobs

The following curious conversation
was overheard on prominent Bessemer
street corner few nights ago:
The Cobble Stone-"Oh, but I'm hay
ing fine time OF it now. Here I've
been lying around right in the middle of
the street for four months and having
more fun than you can shake stick at.
| manage to get under the wheels OF
wagons and bugges and make them go
bumpety bump. | have several hun
dred companions lying around here,
also, and whom anybody comes driving
along very fast we make him think he is
going over the Rocky Road to Dublin.
And then to hear him how he swears
and curses the mayor and street commits
sioner and the whole caboodle of the
city council is caution! And then We
all laugh and watch for the next vehicle
to come along. We knocked off wagon
tire the other day and broke down a
wheel under an old granger's load OF hay
and he wasted three hours hunting up
another wagon to unload onto. And
then, l guess he hasn't got cent to fix
up his-old wheel with, and it Just makes
me laugh. A fool OF horse stepped on
me only yesterday and nearly broke it's
leg. 1t did sprain it's ankle and went
limping away. But oh, say! l am GO
ing to tell you about the BIZ"
Tho Baling Wire-"Hold on, there!
Let me tell about that, will you? l was
stretched out here in the street with enc
eye open for business when along came
a lady on bicycle. Well, l didn't do a
thing but suddenly coil myself all around
the front wheel and in jitfy had a
half dozen spokss loose or broken and
brought her to the ground mighty quick.
She struck her head on an old tin can
and got hurt pretty bad while Just
yolled with delight. l have chums all
over the streets and we do haye the big
gest time together you ever saw. Why,
one Of us tripped steel worker up the
other day and he came to the ground,
dinner bucket and all, scattering every
thing he had in it all over creation,
while a lot Of your chums and mine, tin
cans old shoes, tin hoops, chuck holes
and Stag Jumps, dead cats and all Just
fairly howled with Joy"
The Dead Cat-"Yes, l remember all
aboutit and twas lots of fun sure enough.
We are sure having great times. We
are getting more numerous every day,
and from what / hear passers by say
there is no likelihood of our being taken
away. Mayor Orman and tho rest Of
them don't seem to care, and I've no,

winter, and maybe until the next city
election. l got run down by = street

INDIGNANT HARLEM.
Houses BURIED to the Ground
While the Fire Chief Refuses
Friendly Aid.


The people living cut at Harlem are
very indignant at what they consider as
the shabbiest kind of treatment at the
hands Of the fire department Repeated
calls were made fer assistance over the
phone at the big fire the 18th inst. when
three large frame houses were totally
destroyed and fourth badly damaged,
but all in VAN. The INDICATOR is in
formed that Chief Hurd answered that
he could do nothing for them as his ter
ritory does not extend SO far out True,
Harlem, as the village out by the Phila-
dslpha smelter is called, is outside the
fire limits, but it has fire plugs and first
class water pressure, and it would haye
been nsighborly act to have responded
and protect the property, People were
compelled to stand by and see their
houses burned to the ground while the
city's fire department churlishly refused
to do the friendly act.
Under former administrations the fire
boys used to hurry to the asssstance Of
the little smslter village, which was ap-
proved by everybody. Now it seems the

square feet. Each shell exploded
cost 81 cents and teh full number cost
the shooters $2,65O. The blue rocks
which were started on their sail in
which so few escaped unbroken, cost
the shooters 3 cents each, amounting
to $1,000. 1t is estimated that 40
pellets were in each shell and that
their combined bulk would load four
coal wagons and weigh over 300
pounds, or nearly two tons. The bulk
Of powder required to send these fly
ing at the mark was sufficient to split
the earth in two if confined at its
center. Adding the cost of the shells
and the cost of the targets we have
the neat sum Of $4,15O, which pulled
and went up in smoke or were bro
ken or shattered on the ground.
The men that We're brought here by
the shoot are mostly men Of means,
who came not only to take in the
shoot. but to see the country. its re-
sources and chances for progress as
well. They are not men who will
squeeze their coins until the eagles
scream. and it is small estimate to
say that the visitors left $500 with
the hotels of the city and spent ST.
600 on the outside.
