WANTS THEM oBLIIERArED.

Judge M. S. Bailey was made chair
man of the Democratic convention
Saturday and in his speech of ac-
ceptance made use of some very
pretty language. His selection to
the place was wholly unexpected, he
said, and he felt highly elated in the
honor conferred. He advocated per-
feet harmony and advised that the
olive branch be held out to the Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans as a
means to an end. The end in view
Cañon City record., 1899-10-12

was the election of a ticket on whicl

was the election of ticket on which
the names of Democrats predomina
ted. "All supporters of bimetallie
principles look alike to me-" said the
Judge, "and / can see that in 1906
the fight will simmer down to a con
test between the two great national
parties the Democratic and Republi-
can" He spoke of the Republican
party as the great business and sue
cessful financial party of the United
States" and hoped to soon see the
day when there would be but the two
parties in existence.
1t was an easy matter for me to
slip back into the Democratic ranks,
he remarked, but it is great effort
for such men as Mr.. Teller, who owes
so much to the Republican party,
which raised him to an exalted posi-
tion in the nations affairs, to come
out fiat for Democracy, but l hope
and expect to see the time when every
Populist and Silver Republican will
be transformed and the two great
parties will stand alone"
His idea is to use the Populists and
Teller people to build up the Demo
cratic party, at the same time alb
sorbing or destroying his helpers.
Such honest frankness is indeed to be

The Democratic politicians Of Cam
On City seem afraid of Florence. The
only Office the fusionists gave to our
nsighbor city was that of surveyor.
They did not even let the Florence
delegates choose their own candidate
for commissioner, but selected a man
against their will to please the Canon
leaders. Florence has never had such
bad treatment from any party con-
vsntion before.
Cañon City record., 1899-10-12

The best of feeling prevails among
Republicans all over the county.
Florence is satisfied and stands united
for the Republican ticket. The coal
camps are wild with joy over their
part Of the ticket and will vote to a
man for the Republicans. The county
1t large is tired Of the politician rule
and will stand by the peoples ticket,
and Cahon City is going to do the
square thing and turn up her old-time
Republican majority.

about 400 pounds and was carefully

been stolen from an electric light
plant in some of the mountain cities.
The shipper was G. H. Wolf, who was

himself. All the insulation had been

POLITICS..

The Graphic has Just discovered
there is politics in the manage
ment of the Soldiers Home! That
paper laments that such u GOOD
man and efficient manager as S. A.
French should be turned out of a
! Job worth S75 month and board
for no other reason than TO make
place for II man of opposite
political views. And there is DIR.
Packard who has become such a
staunch republican-since he be-
came the Home ph,sician-,hat
his politics stood in the way of
retaining him longer. AS matter
of fact the Home has always been
used as political machine for
the party in power. The manage
ment has gone SO far rs 10 pro-
hiblt any e!ec,ioneering or poll,i-
cal demonstrations or discussions
whatever at the Home-as much
as to assume these votes were
owned by the party in power and
nobody had right to disturb
them in the quiet possession there
of. If we remember correctly.
DR.. Packard changed his politics
about the time he was elected
Home physician and has stood
pat with his party ever since.
Ii the old soldiers are hereafter
held in any such political straight
jackets as they have been hereto.
fore it can then be charged that
there is too much politics. Politi-
cal rallies and discussions should
be permitted at the Home with ns
much freedom as in the town of
Monte Vista. In fact there should
be as much freedom at the Home
as possible.
So far as Mr.. French is con-
cerned We have no criticisms To
offer. While he was commander.
the inmates offered no criticisms
and it may be they realized it was
just as we'll to keep still ms to find
fault. Commander Shaw is equally
we'll liked, and he is man that
will wear-the more one becomes
acquainted with him the better he
is liked. Mr.. Shaw is also n good
business man and will look after
the interests of the state.

WHOLE NUMBER 500

agree, the fires were all drawn
from the smelters at Denver.
Pueblo and Leadville. This
means the mines must soon close
down unless the smelters start up
again very soon.
The present condition is a verv
serious matter for the business
and prosperity of the state. All
seem 20 realize the situation fully
and it is hoped speedy settle
ment of the labor troubles will be
made.
The eight-hour law was passed
last winter at the urgent solicita-
ton Of the trades union and ought
to be accepted by employers with.
out question. The miner who
works at hard musular labor eight
hours day does all that ought to
be demanded of him. Further
more, with the machinery now in
use, every man and woman can do
enough in eight hours n day to
satisfy all their needs. But it is
possible the trades unions have
not studied the labor question
from a proper standpoint. They
seem to be following such men as
Gompers instead of studying the
basic principles laid down by the
Knights of Labor. The eight or
the six-hour day must follow aud
not lead in the work of evolution.
When labor owns the machines 1t
can control them, but SO long as
the trusts own the machines the
trusts will determine how they
shall be managed.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.

AT n special term of the district
court held at Del Norte June .,
the board of commissioners con-
fessed judgment on all outstanding
warrants against the county ex-
cept those on which suits are now
pending in the L. S. courts.
These judgments with accrued
interest will amount to S29,37S.S2
on August LIST.
On the 9th day of juno the
Board issued call for u special
election, to be held July ~, to
vote on Il proposition to bond all
of the judgments against the
county which, on August LIST, will
amount TO Sli3,lS3.O5. There is
now n bonded Indebtedness against
the county due January !. amount
ing to Sj7 800, drawing per cent.
interest, and it is proposed to re-
fund these bonds and to bond the
Judgments into l0-20 five per
cent bonds except the judgments
confessed Jnne 9, which nre to bc
funded in per cent l0-20 bonds.
There are now $4,000 in bonds
issued some eight years ago SO
that the total bonded indebtedness
OF the county will be $3.50, ,0S3. .O5.
The Judgments are drawing S
aud 10 per cent interes. and are
beyond the ability ot tho county
to pny Rt present so TINT there
seems to be no alternative except
to vote the bonds.
The most OF this indebtedness
WAS created in excess OF tho con.
s,itutional limitation and conse.
quently void. But the wnrrnn.
holders have employed able Inv
yers and have finally succeeded in
legalising everything. There is
something like sl3. l02 in warrants

THE STATE BANK.

On Wednesday notice was
posted on the front door of the
State Bank saying: "Closed until
the president returns.
At the same time the Miners
Dank at Creede and the Farmers
Bank Mt Hooper closed their doors.
The closing OF these banks became
the source of considerable anxiety,
not only by the depositors, but by
the business men of the valley and
the mining camps also. 1t seems
as though Troubles never come
singly,' and it is more than proba-
BILE that had it not been for the
shortage OF water and the labor
troubles the stockholders would
have tided these banks over their
troubles, which they are amply
able to do.
The closing Of these banks-all
which are associated together
WAS by wire from the president
who WAS in Denver mt the time.
On return Of President Maben the
directors held meeting and made
an assignment to DR.. n. II. Chap
man OF Monte Vista.
DIR. Chapman is one of our best
business men, well known in Hoop
er and Creole, and will command
the confidence of the depositors
as well as that OF the stockholders.

siSnee to pay OIL the depositors in
full as early as possible and to col.
iect all outstandin, Indebtedness
with ~ much haste ~ the interests
OF the stockholders will Justify.
The immediate cause of the fail.
ure WAS the closing OF the smelters
and the mines. It is also in,imnt.
ell that the banks have consider.

indications are the ranchmen will
