WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-"Yes." said
Admiral Dewey tonight to an Associated
Press reporter, with an appearance of in
tense satisfaction in his manner, Il re-
celved, to-day. a telegram from the mayor
of Chicago experimenting the letter of the
Dewey committee of that city inviting me
TO visit there on the LIST OF May. You may
say In your dispatches that, all things be-
ing equal. and. barring any unlocked for
circumstance. / shall accept the invitation
10 visit the, city on the 1st OF May. l have
been thinking OF some place I'm which TO
spend that day, the anniversary OF the
memorable day of two years before, and l
don't know Of any more agreeable city in
which to spend 1t than Chicago. The people
there have been very kind and pleasant to
me, and ever since the battle of Manila l
have been receiving evidences Of their good
viii and affection. My hope. therefore, is to
be able to accept the invitation which has
been extended to me-"
The evidence of good will and kindness
indicated by the letter from the committee
and from the mayor is a source of extreme
qualification to the admiral at this time
and he embraced the opportunity offered
by their persual to r~eiterate his thanks to
the people who have stood by him in the
face of criticism which has appeared as a
result OF a change in the title TO the prop
erty given by the American people.
From every section Of the country" he
said, have kilograms and letters come to
me showing the good will and kindness of
the American people 1t is impossible for
me to acknowledge each one of these COM

that / am deeply grateful to their senders
and appreciate their consideration. 1 am
constantly receiving tokens of good will
from the people, az you will see by looking
around this room and seeing the beautiful
things that have been sent to me. 1 have
been in my office all day long looking over
the kilograms and letters which have come.
No. I do not care TO make any observa-
tons on the criticisms which have arisen
as a result OF the transfer Of the property

Senator j. B. Gallinger, in an interview
to-day. predicted that sharp opposition to
the ratification Of the new treaty OF reeipro-
cal trade with France would develop at
Washington, because the compact provides
for a reduction of % per cent. in the exist

iery. Many hosiery manufacturers he SEN
ator said. since the passage OF the Dingley
tariff bill. have equipped their mills with
costly imported machinery for the manu-
facture of this class of goods and the pro-
posed reduction, in the senator's opinion,
would result In wiping out this rev branch
of the industry.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Brigham HI.
Roberts, representative-elect from Utah.
reached Washington tonight. He expects to
take his seat in the House and says he does
not believe that body will be influenced by
the protests against his doing so for the
reason that the question of his eligibility
is a matter clearly outside the sphere of the
churches and because the whole agitation
against him is based upon misrepresenta-
ton of facts and absolute falsehood. He also
claims that the House is without authority
to declare his seat vacant. Mr.. Roberts de-
nounces as false the charge that he now
advocates poiygamy-that is the present
contracting of polygamous marriages, not
withstanding the constitutional prohibition
b. Utah of such marriages.

HERE is fact worth noting. On
the day of the Republican convention
Of the eight candidates nominated
but three were in the city at the time,
and only one in the convention. One
of the nominees was at Silver Cliff
attending to his commercial business.
Another was busy in his Office at
Florence. A third was busy with his
daily duties on the F. & C. C. R. R.
Another was pleasantly enjoying his
honeymoon down at Chicago and the
last looking after his every day affairs
at his home near Florence. The peo-
pie on the Republican ticket were
nominated because they are all good,
substantial business men rather than
for any political ability. They are
men of the people, men who have sue
ceeded in their chosen vocations of
life, and men particularly adapted for
the offices for which they have been
selected. How different at the fusion
of the Saturday before!
If we mistake not, every candidate on
the fusion ticket was on the ground
hotly contesting for the place prom
ised him by the leaders. All are
pretty good politicians, and shrewd,
and they won their point. Will the
people support politicians for Office
or business men?

GOOD CHANCES RoR SUCCESS.

Ever since the great landslide in
1896, when Colorado went SO strongly
for Bryan, and to the dogs in local
and State politics, a good sized ele-
ment of the Republican party has
been standing around with hands in
pockets moanfully predicting nothing
but failure for Republicans in Colora-
do. This element has formed large
part of the stay-at-home vote in Colo
RADIO during the past three years.
But things are changing, and this
latent force of the Republican party
is becoming active this year and will
help the party sweep the county with
glorious victory this fall.
To q student of political facts past
figures are not so much against us,
either. Let US examine few. In
'96 Fremont county gave Mr.. Bryan
1867 votes out of a total of 1903 be-
ing a majority of 1926. The follow
ing year, 1897, the Republican party
had to fight the same combinations
that voted for Bryan; that is, fusion
of all so-called silver parties, yet the
Republicans elected six of the eight
candidates, and by handsome majori-
ties. Two of the candidates of this
fall were before the people in '97.
That year Cassidy received majority
of Cos and Hawkins TOP. These men
have held office, but two years, and
their records have been clear. Who
of their supporters of '97 will not
vote for them this year?
The year 1898 proved another land
slide and the State went for fusion.
In Fremont there was but one county
officer to be elected ed-that of county
Judge. There we're two principal
candidates s-Cooper, Rep, and Eldred,
fusion. There was a State election
on hand and the fusion parties spent
an immense amount of money and
energy in this county to carry it for

The practice Of tieing pieces Of
paper and tin cans to the tails Of
dogs to scare them is bad one and
has found too much favor in Canon
of late. The boy who will take an
innocent dog and scare him in this
manner is q mean boy and does not
deserve as much respect as the dog.
We do not predict that every boy who
practices such unmanly sport will
make a failure in life, but we believe
every boy who encourages such tastes
and distorted dispositions will make ;
mean, unkind brother and a cruel
father. We are ashamed that Canon
has 30 many such boys.

SAY what you please, there are
but two county tickets in the field.
the Republican and Democratic
alias Fusion. The Republican ticket
is being supported by all old time Re-
politicians and Silver Republicans,
while the Democrats have brought to
their aid the Populists and . half
dozen Teller mon. If every Republic
can Of Fremont county will go to the
polls and vote, fusion will be buried
by majority 30 great that it will be
apalling to even the successful.

Industrious and hard working. There's

quainted all over the county. having

whom all who know would trust.
HANKS for superintendent is . school
man of whom the teachers need never
be ashamed. Look at McLAREN for
commissioner. He is q man who, if
elected, will serve the property inter-
ests Of Fremont county rather than
the county attorney alone. For coro-
ner there is DIR. W. 7. LITTLE, . ply
sician, and such the coroner should
always be. And for surveyor JOHN
Coon, JR., an active surveyor and
civil engineer and none other should
ever hold this Office. We will not

positions candidates but le. the peo-
pie make their own comparisons.

THOUGH he has lost much of his
fame, John ]. Ingalls, still retains his
old time eloquence. Here is recent
sample: The Populist has been to
the barber this year. He has had the
hayseed combed out Of his hair and
his chin whiskers vandyked. He
wears q collar and q four-in-hand.
He has had shine and his trousers
are outside of his boots. When he
takes the middle of the road it is in a
Columbus buggy, with pair Of cobs
and knot of ribbon on his whipstock.
He has paid of the mortgage on his
farm and has q balance in the bank
He has wheat in the bin and corn
ripsning in the field. and . bunch of
fat cattle in the pasture. Things do
not look to him as they did in '96.
Adversity was harsh schoolmaster,
but prosperity has not boon without
instruction. He has begun to dis
cover that Notwithstanding the crime
Of 1873, the gold and monometallism,
something has scattered plenty DER a
smiling land. 1t has dawned above
the horizon of his intelligence that if
the farmer has grain and beef and
pork to sell the per capita is not i'm
portant. He sees dimly that the way
to abolish poverty is to increase the
aggregate of wealth, and not to di-
vide that which already exists. He
has begun to doubt whether the pow
erty of the poor is caused By the
wealth of the rich. Free silver has
lost its smell. Az an issue it is de
funct. In 1896 it was . heresy. In
1899 it is q jest"

Democracy. What was the result?
Democracy carried it for the whole
State ticket and Judge Eldrsd was
elected by the insignificant plurality
Of 237-a change of 119 votes would
have meant Republican victory.
Much is in our favor this year. The
fusion people will receive little or no
State help; there is no State ticket in
the field; the Republicans never had
up better ticket; sentiment has
changed greatly during the past year
in regard to the Republican party.
The politicians have put up 3 strong
fusion ticket for their own private
benefit, while the people are support
ing Republican ticket Of business
men, for the peoples interests. The
people must win.
Cañon City record., 1899-10-19

Is Is something of a novelty in
these days of fusion and degradation
in politics for the office to be seeking
the man, but such was the real article
with more than one case on the Re-
publican ticket. When L. x. Kohl
man left Canon Tuesday morning he
had no more idea of being nominated
for county clerk than he has of being
candidate for President in 1900.
When he returned Wednesday night
hs found himself to be the regular
Republican nominee for county clerk,
and more than two thirds of Canon
City enthusiastic in his support. 1t
y . little refreshing to be able to
vote for such men once in awhile.
