REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS IN
COLORADO.

The prospects of Republican success
In the coming presidential campaign
In this state grows brighter and bright
er. The attendance at the recent state
convention to select delegates to Phila-
delphia demonstrated the interest that
is going on all over the state, and is
bright omen for an old-fashioned Re
publican victory In November next.
The issue of expansion appeals
strongly to voters of this state who
can readily see that the Republican
policy on that question means the de-
sources of this state. The business
man of this state wants no change in
the administration at Washington. A
business man who was an ardent sup
porter of Bryan four years ago voiced
this sentiment In conversation with
the writer few days ago. when he
stated: 81 have invested 100000 in
cattle within the last thirty days, and
would never have made the Investment
II / was not sure that President Nc
Kinley would be reelected"
So 1t is with the cattle man, the sheep
man, the miner and the agricultural
list all over the state. The prosperity
that has come with the administration
OF President Mckinley has lifted them
out of debt and they see before them
an era of great business prosperity,
II there is no change in the present gov
ernmental policy. The laboring man,
who is receiving an increased sum for
his days wages from what he received
In 1896, viii not vote against the party
vHder whose regime this happy state
of affairs has been brought about; and
the demagogue will appeal to him In
vain.
There will be a most vigorous polit-
ical campaign made by the Republi-
cans this fall, which will extend to all
parts OF the state, which, In connection
with the work Of the Republican press.
viii undoubtedly put Colorado once
more In the Republican column, and on
the side of progress and prosperity.
The cattle man. the sheep man, the
miner, the farmer, the business man.
the laborer, are all interested In the
success OF the Republican party. The
year 1900 will be Republican year for
Colorado.
