lowing attached to several OF the corpor.
ations and dominated by A. M. Steven
son. They have lost the Denver Re
publican and the Herald Democrat at
Leadville since the campaign of 1893.
They have lost and are losing. Their
membership has drifted back to the reg
ular organization or quietly given ad
herence to the Democratic party.
We applaud the course of Mr. Teller
and his associates when they walked out
of the St. Louis convention, but let us
ask where Mr. Teller would have been
had he not obeyed the mandates of his
constituents and done this very thing
He would have been retired to the shades S
of private life the same as Mr. Wolcott
will be retired next winter for daring to
disobey the instructions of those who
elected him.
There will be no fusion On state ticket.
1t will not be necessary to saw silver OF
to save Mr. Bryan. 1t will sve manv a
heart ache if we face this matter now.
The Democracy will go before the peo
ole of Colorado with clean, Democratic
ticket, expecting endorsement at the
polls because they deserve it. Expect.
ing it, because their principles are right
their national leader is right and because
they do not propose to engage in any
unnecessary fusion.
If we cannot elect Democratic gov.
ernor and state officers, we can, at least.
honor aspiring Democrats and begin the
upbullding of the party in the state.
The Populists are for Bryan, the Sill
yer Republicans are for Bryan and we
can have no difficulty in uniting upon
one electoral ticket. The vote for presl
dent in no wise depends upon union oi
the forces upon state ticket.
Now as to the legislative fight. The
Silver Republicans declare that if the,
can not get the governor they will place
straight ticket in the field in every
county Here in Boulder county the
threat carries no terrors. The rank ano
file of the Silver Republican element
here will vote for the ticket surest to de
feat Edward O. Wolcott, The Demo
Gratis and Populists united here are suf
fclent.y strong to elect their ticket with
cut rnnning the risk of naming mar
whom A. M. Stevenson can control. The
Democrats and Populsts are opposed te
monopoly as much as they are opposed
to the gold standard. They would prefer
Stevenson as senator to Wolcott, bu
they are able to elect without being
compelled to take either alternative. II
Mr. Stevenson's threat goes in Arapahoe
county, where there is no Populist or
ganization worthy the name. the Demo
Gratis. aided by the Wolcott. hating ele
ments OF all parties can win hands down
Sufficient unto the day is the evil there
Of" In the meantime it would be well
for Silver Republicans to know that the
Democratic sentiment of the state wa:
against any fusion with their organiza
ton before this committee meeting
That meeting makes the sentiment un.
anlmous, else we mistake the temper OIL
the Democracy.
The suggestion that Mr. Teller has
been prevailed upon to stand for the
governorship should not alter or modify
the determination of the Democracy Il
go forward in their straight ticket course
No such sacrifice is necessary on MI
Teller's part. if he views it as a sacrifice
Three parties eleceed him senator and il
would be ungracious for him to now
enter the lists at home unless all three
of these parties should join in demand
that he become their standard bearer.
lanes B. Orman of Pueblo, the big
railroad contractor, has entered the list:
for the Democratic gubernatorial ncm
ination and is soliciting the support o.
his many friends over the state. MI
Orman would make an admirable ex
ecutive.
