Of the country generally, almost to a
man, irrespective of party, are expect
ed to vote for Mckinley. One of the
best known members of the Glass
Blowers Association, Mr.. William
Peck, makes this assertion:
II don't know how the other trades
are going to vote, but do know that
the glass blowers are for Mckinley to
man. The question of party does not
enter into it. 1t is purely n matter of
self interest, and the Democrats and
Republicans of our union are all united
on this matter.
why are we for Mckinley? Be
cause we are convinced that in this di-
rection lies our bread and buttel', The
glass business is now in n most flour
ishing condition. All the factories are
working full time, and the orders can
hardly be filed. l belong to the Glass
Bottle Blowers Association and in our
line business is rushing. The demand
from Cuba, Porto Rico, the Philippines
and China has vastly stimulated the
bottle trade, and If that is one or the
results of the Mckinley admnistra-
ton we surely cannot kick.
"Our wages have been raised fifteen
per cent. in the past two years, eight
per cent. last year and seven per cent,
this year, just restoring the cut that
was made under the Democratic ad-
ministration in 1898. Sun.

have received a dispatch announcing
that the temples were taken according

Wilson will move on San Hal Tien and

place.
The Germans moved westward to-
day and it is doubtful if they cooper

No word has been received from the

WAR BEGUN In THE

Shenandoah, Pa, Sept. 22.-A sher-
IFS posse fired on n crowd of riotous
men near here this afternoon, killing
two men and wounding seven others.
Sheriff Toole and Deputies O'Donnell
and Brenneman were called to Shenan-
doah to-day to suppress the mobs that
threatened mine workers and colliery
property.

work when they We're met at the Le-
high Valley station by mob with
sticks and stones. The mine officials
drew revolvers and fired.
The mob became furious after one of
its number was shot, and attempted to
close in on the officials, who ran up
Lloyd street to O'Hara's stable, where
they We're imprisoned for two hours.
The mob threatened 10 Burn the stable
but Sheriff Toole, with twenty depu-
ties, arrived and dispersed them and
the mine officials returned to their
homes.
The sheriff then took the posse to
Indian Ridge colliery and escorted
some workmen up Center street As

Senator TeIlcr's Siander of Governor
Roosevelt

Roosevelt
Senator Teller certainly went beyond
the bounds of decency and brought dis
credit upon the state of Colorado, of
which he has been an honorcd and hon
orable representative in the Senate of
the United States for quarter of a
century, when. in his speech to the
Teller Silver Republicans State Con
vention on Monday, he described Gov
ernor Roosevelt, the Republican nomi-
nee for vice president, as
THE distinguished skulker of San
Juan hill. the man who has taken the
credlt for what the negro regiment
did,"
Governor Roosevelt cannot be hurt
by any slander designed to blacken his
record as soldier because his bravery
in the fierce fighting about Santiago on
those memorable July days in 1898 is
a matter of history, vouched for by an
army of eye witnesses; but the state of
Colorado must feel panied and shamed
beyond expression TO have the country
know that n man Of Senator Tellers
rank and reputation should so far for
get the requirements of truth and man
liness and patriotism as to falsely and
needlessly malign the military record
of a volunteer soldier, whose splendid
example in going to the front at the
cnll of his country, and risking his life
at the head of his regiment in the hot
test conflict of the war, has made all
true Americans prouder of their citi-
Zenship and more certain of the future
OF republic that breeds such heroes
ns Theodore Roosevelt and his valiant
companions in arms, the gallant Rough
Riders.
Senator Teller has n right, If he feels
so inclined, to oppose the election of
Governor Roosevelt to the office of vice
president, but he has no right to i'm
peach the soldierly courage and
achievements of the hero of San Juan,
and in his calmer moments we are sure
that he will deplore the blunder, to call
1t by no harsher name, which he COM
mitted on Monday.
VIII the people of Colorado, who
however, they may differ among them
selves on political issues, are quite
unanimous in their appreciation and
approval of all American soldiers who
fight bravely for the flag, endorse sthe
stain put upon their state by Senator
Teller's uncalled-for SANDER, or will
the repudiate and disown it as they
should at the polls in November?-Den-
yer Republican.

The Length of His Letter.

There has been some criticism of Nc
Kinley's letter of acceptance because
it was long. But as the President had
to give an account of his stewardship
since he is up for a second term, the
obligation on him to make a clean
breast Of It was strong and he has done
SO many big things that it was impos-
sible to put it in "A nutshell.
Mr.. Bryan has been holding back his
letter until after the appearance of the
Presidents, because he wanted to IRE
ply" But it will be very hard to an
swer McKinley's modest narrative of
the great things accomplished by this
government since he has been its
president.
Mr.. Bryan never having done any
thing but talk during or before the
four years last past, cannot refer to
his record of deeds, but will have TO
