The denomination of Hon. N. N.
Mclean by the republican convention
at Granada was a fitting reward for
an honest and faithful public official.
He served the district we'll in the
last session of the general assembly,
and secured the passage of some
much needed improvement sppropria-
tions, which a partisan democratic
governor vetoed. Mr.. Mclean has
wide acquaintance throughout the

While the Denver police force was
busy carrying the Denver primaries
for Governor Thomas, seven ladies
were assaulted and robbed on the
streets of the city, one being killed.
It is certainly time to take the police
force out of state politics and give
the control to the city government.

The democrats are on Che run al
ready in Colorado, and their workers
are in dismay and confusion. They
gave five of the best places on their
state ticket to the silver republicans,
although the latter have not that
many hundred votes in the state.

Fusion is the lowest form of cor
ruption at best, but the fusion effect
ed in Colorado this year has outdons
anything ever attempted in that line.
The job was 30 rank that the demo-
cratic convention refused to stand for
it, until Tom Patterson made them a
speech and told them that the gov
ernor, which was allotted to them, had
the appointing of 700 officers each
drawing a salary. It was then passed
with a whoop, the motion, strange to
relate, receiving just about 700 votes.

The Prowers county delegation
went to the democratic state conven-
tion strong for Maupin and a straight
ticket. They returned in the full
belief that the spook of Soapy Smith
is running the fusion movement in
Colorado.

The democrats are very solicitous
about the constitution following the
flag into the Philippines. They are
not showing any anxiety about having
it carried into Kentucky, Louisiana
or the Caroliuas.

The only disturbance during the
republican state convention was when
lot of hoodlums, encouraged by the
democratic police, assaulted the Col
orado Springs fambeau club.

There were no contests, no police
men, no clubs, no revolvers and no
fusion committees at the republican
state convention. They demonstrated
that politics can be conducted de-
Gently even in Colorado.

The following is sample of the
rank figures which the Sparks Is
putting before its readers:
It requires 40 per cent more corn or
cotton to buy pound Of sugar than in
1896.
The market price Of all these CON-
modities has advanced since 1896.
At Chicago, the headquarters for corn,
in September 1896 bushel of corn
would buy four pounds OF sugar; to,
day it will buy five pounds. In New
Orleans four years ago pound OF
cotton would just buy q pound OF
sugar; today the cotton will buy 25
per cent more sugar.

QUEER ACCIDENT.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24.-Seafar-
ing men were greatly interested yes
terday in the discovery made when the
bark Merom went on the Spear street
dry dock. The vessel returned to port
a few days ago from Alaska, leaking
at the rate of an inch an hour as a re-
suit of having grounded while in Bris-
toll bay. By working the pumps the
Merom was kept afloat, but instead os
waiting to take on cargo of salmon
at one of the northern canneries, all
haste was made in sailing back to this
port. II was found when the bark was
high and dry yesterday that the leak
had been caused by one of the prongs
Of the vessels anchor, which, when the
Merom grounded, had been forced into
the bottom near the keel, just abaft Of
amidships. The breaking off of the
prong and the plugging of the hole by
the severed portion was all that saved
the Merom from filling rapidly and be-
coming loss, but the portion of an
Choir did not plug up the hole so tight
ly that water could not leak in to some
extent. When it was seen that the bark
was liable to ground the anchor had
been let go, but it was supposed by the
captain when ii was hauled up again
that the breaking of of the prong had
been caused by the ship itself.
