HOW ABOUT 1T?

We don't quite know how 1t came
about yet-are a little confused, rattied'
SO to speak, over the suddenness 1 the
whole thing-but we are convinced
there is a mistake
that someone has Numbered. we
rehfer ito that committee meet
ing in Cheyenne the other Day
when, we are told, the state committees
of the peoples. the democratic ana Sill
yer republican CD parties met In JOINT
convention and arranged a fusion oi
the silver forces" The peoples party
we are informed, will not maintai a
separate organization. We can't quite
understand how this committee meet
ing was arranged without the popu-
lists in this part Of the state knowing
s~omethine about 1.-THE first intelli-
gence received by the pops up here ina
such meeting was even contemplated
being the accounts in the daily papers
of its action-for there are popuiist
committeeman even in this part OF the
state, and no meeting can be caiied
without notifying them; therefore our
surprise over its suddenness. And this
leads us to the conclusion that there
has been a mistake made. and the mis-
take, we conclude, Is on the part OF
some few "r~egenerated democrats
allie the same-who have got 1t up their
neck that they are the populist party

JOHN M'GnLL.

Although the editor Of this paper is
in receipt Of a letter from Senator John
McGill stating in direct terms that be
is not a candidate for governor, we
cannot refrain from printing the fol-
lowing kind words from the pen of
Colonel John F. Crawford of the Sara,
toga Sum:
Politics Is, like the weather, warm
ing up. Now that Hon. j. C. Davis has
declared his intention to keep out of the
gubernatorial race there is renewed
interest all over the state. Several
men-good men, too-who knew they
did not stand any show, 50 long as Jack
Davis vas at the bat, will now get a
O on them. and begin to make
fence. Many good men are mentioned.
Among the most prominent are John
McGill Of Albany county, Hon. VIM.
Schnitger, mayor Of this city. and Hon.
DeForest Richards of Douglas. These
men are not to be excelled anywhere
and either Of the three would make a
most excellent governor. But. some
how. my heart to old John Nc
Gill. He is a native of Scotland. and
has all the sturdy character and ster-
ling worth peculiar to that people,
while at the same time. possessing a
soul as gentle and tender as a woman's.
"Old Honest John" as he is lovingly
called by his friends. is a man who
stands high with every one who knows
him. from the governor down to the
humblest citl.> ~ the land. He has
been an honored member O, the legis-
lature for many years, where his sim
oere, honest face has always stood for
the right, no matter whom 1t might
thwart or whom it might benefit. A
fine parlimentarian, a good speaker, he
has shown a large and comprehensive
grasp OF public questions that marks
him as no ordinary man. In looks he
is rugged and gnarled as the cedars on
the mountainside. OF whose no n
can form any estimate. He is flex
in his desire and determination to DO
what Is right, and cannot oe driven,
bought or forced from the straight and
,perilous road where honor travels IN
a path 50 narrow that n goes
abreast" In short God don't make n
better men than Old John McGill. His
candidacy would conduct itself and the
result would be as certain as n
taxes"
