ENLARdES THE COUNTY.

The long-drawn-out controversy
over the boundary line between FIRE.
mont and Chaffee counties, which has
held the attention of the courts since
1897, has finally been settled. Last
Friday Judge Voorhees, of Pueblo
handed down an opinion favorable to
this county. Through this decision
Fremont county secures title to d
tract containing 70 square miles of
land. The territory thus acquired in
cludes the Whitehorn mining district
and other valuable property, and adds
thousands of dollars to the taxable
area. The dividing line between the
counties has always been underlined
and it will be a great relief to the
people of the disputed territory to
know just where they do reside, and
they ought to be well pleased to find
themselves in Fremont county.
Credit for discovering the error in
the surveys and bringing the matter
before the county commissioners and
State engineer is almost exclusively
due to the watchfulness of Mr.. Jos.
H. Nilsson, the present very efficient
county clerk.

LOSE AND GAIN.

One newspaper man in Fremont
county gives his reason for not sup
porting either ticket in the late cam
paign, that a newspaper could not
afford to take sides in such matters.
He reasons that if paper takes
sides it makes more enemies than
friends, and the enemies will remem-
Der their imaginary wrongs ten times
as long as will its friends the favors
received-that every member of the
party you oppose will always fight
you, while those even whom you help
elect will give you little reward or
credit for the favor.
In a measure he is right. The
RECORD has enjoyed quite number
of peculiar little Incidents of this
kind. However, the RECORD support
ed the REPUBLICAN ticket this fall.
as it has for twenty years, because
we believe in Republican principles.
We will continue to do this while the
present proprietor directs the editorial
policy OF the paper, and if any of our
good friends of opposite political
faith object to reading little of the
other SIDE" they are at liberty to
subscribe for some other paper.
Fremont county has Democratic
papers, Populist papers and papers
that suit themselves to the ever shift
ing political conditions and to the
desires of each subscriber.
The funny incidents, come in the
way people object to our policy One
working man objects because we call
a working man working man. One
gentleman, a good man no doubt,
trustee in the NJ. Z. church, came in
and discontinued his RECORD, because
it, being a temperance paper, sup
ported Cassidy in preference to
Coulter. Said g. m. is good prohi-
bitionist. He remarked that we spoke
of Mr.. Cassedy in the terms of gen.
tleman and he would not take such
a paper. Suppose if we had vilified
every candidate who was not a tee
totaler and radical prohibitionist,
We would have retained this one sub
scribsr.

DOING DAnAdE.

Last spring quite number OF!
Canon people spent considerable time
and money in fixing up their lawns
and parking the strips between tn.
sidewalks and bitches. Such improve
ments were very noticeable and helped
the general appearance of the town.
But during the past few weeks horses
have been turned loose about the
town of nights and have done great
damage to these grassy plats. They
have even entered several yards and
the damage to such places already
amounts up to several hundred dol
lars.
This practice is criminal and some
one who is the habit of pasturing his
horses on the street and on other
peoples lawns are liable for damage
done. The city is also somewhat re-
sponsible, for we are supposed to
have officers to look after the stock
nuisance. 1t would be well for the
city authorities to look after this
matter.

GOOD Tlr,E TO JOIN.

A few weeks reflection over the re-
cent county election has given the
people little better idea of "how it
happened" No one for a minute has
ever given the Republican candidates
credit for having been elected on per-
sonal popularity, for such was not the
case. The fusion people had up a
good ticket-the most popular ticket
they have ever been able to get to-
gether. 1t was headed by Judge W..
B. FELTON,, man who has always be-
fore had everything he has seen fit to
ask for in politics. The balance of
the ticket was just as good. All men
of large acquaintance over the coun-
ty.
The Republican ticket was made up
of good men, but men who know little
of political ways, and in most cases,
men who had not even sought the
nomination. The ticket was headed
by l.. X. Kohlman, a commercial trav-
eler, who was known very little over
the county. He was not in the city
when nominated, had he been, it is
probable he would not have accepted
the nomination. The balance of the
ticket was largely the same. All the
best Of men, but men little known
over the county. So it was not a
personal victory for the Republican
candidates but was triumph for the
Republican party and black eye to
fusion.
There are several good reasons for
this Landslide of political sentiment.
In the first place there are more Re-
publicans in Fremont county today
than ever before in the history of the
State. A great majority of the peo-
pie who voted the Silver Republican
ticket in '96 and '97 have concluded
that they will not be led into the
Democratic party. They realize full
well row that the Silver Republican
movement aided none but the Demo-
cratic party and those who were for
merly Silver Republicans are now Re-
publicans and voted the straight
ticket this fall.
Another powerful influence which
proved strong aid to the Republi-
cans was the powerful anti-fusion
sentiment. The masses of the Dem
ocratic and Populist parties did not
want fusion. 1t was forced upon
them by the leaders, and as result
many Populists and Democrats bolted
the ticket. Had there been both
Democratic and Populist tickets in
the field, their combined vote would
have been much greater than the
fusion vote. The general prosperity
ali over the country had not little
to do with it. People are beginning
to learn that when Republicans are in
power great many accidents occur
to bring prosperity to the country
to open the mines and the factories,
and to raise the prices of labor, cat
tie and wheat.
The local Republican party appre-
ciates the help it has received from
all sources 1t opens it's arms to all
its returning sons and welcomes them
back from whatsoever fold they
have been visiting. Recruiting sta
tions are open at all times and enlist.
ments urged-no questions asked
about past history. Step up gentle
men and ladies, and get good seats in
the band wagon. This is certainly q
good time to join.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease thai science has
been able TO cure in all its st. ges, and
that is Catar-h. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requiring con-
stitutionai treatment. Halls Catarrli
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have

for his family to read. because it did
not support the man for superintend-
ent of schools, whom he considered
to be ''the only prohibitionist on the
ticket" And so it goes-there were
others.
But there is another side to the
question. While it is true that most
people forget favor quicker than
an imagined wrong, yet there are
many good people in the town who
like paper to be what it is and be it
the year around.
One good citizen, whom we have
known for five years, but who has
never taken the RECORD, came in last
week and laid the price on the counter.
He said that he liked paper that
wasn't afraid to say what it believed
and say it plainly. He doesn't agree
with us in politics or religion, yet he
can appreciate honesty.
We have no boast to make for the
editorial department of the RECORD.
1t has faults enough, but with all
these, it has been honest, straight
forward and consistent. You can bank
on the RECORDS editorial policy
year in advance every time, and the
desertion of few supposed friends
will not influence it seriously.

has seldom been an instance Of a public
man who was less tempted In this way
than was Lincoln. The people admired
him and were Loyalty true 10 him. They
saw his greatness sooner than liI those
