II senator Woicott had kept quiet
during the meeting in Victor, ss re-
qussted to do by Governor Roosevelt,
We believe that there would have besn
NO denomination whatever. Senator
Wolcott, to say the least, naggsd the
crowd on BY hir references to Bryan and
to the silver iorces. Had be remained
in his chair and allowed Roosevelt to
proceed, the result, We nre confident,
would have been much different. But
Wolcott was hasty.-too hssty, and the
result was noisy demonstration, and in
large measure he must be blamed for il.
Governor Roosvelt repeatedly asked hum
to keep quiet, saying to him that he was
perfectly capable Of speaking to his
audience, which was fact, for he was
accorded respectful hearing, but VOL
cott repeatedly interrupted, rushed to
the front OF the platform, and interjected
remarks calculated to anger the audience
to which Roosevelt was speaking. This
was bad judgement, and result wRs lot
OF noise and q decentralization which
would not otherwise have taken place.
The next time Wolcott should keep
quiet, and in doing SO, he will insure tho
quiet OF his audience.

present indications poin, to his election
by good majority.

The disgrsceful scene on the street OF
Victor on the day Of Colonel Roossvelt's
speech At that place was enough to bring
the blush Of shame to every seIi.respect-
ing citizen Of our state but the fact that
political leaders Of any party Of our state
would, for the purpose OF making politi-
cal capital, attempt TO besmirch the FUR
name OF our state by seuding out over
the nation such reports Of this most dis
graceful affair a. cannot but seriously
reflect upon the good standing OF Colors-
do voters ia still more humiiiating. The
reports OF this fair are conflicting. We
publish elsewhere the account Of the
disturbance as it appeared in the Den
yer Republican. Later editions Of the
Republican gave different account and
attempted to make political capital out
Of the disturbance by charging IL upon
the opposition to the republican ticket.
OF oourss the Republican, in ITS arst &C.
count ei the affair, may have beea mis-.
taken but, even admitting that 1t was
and that the disturbance arose through
the actions Of parties standing on the
at:eet was still no good ground for an
attempt to make political capital out Of
this unfortunate affair. There are po.
liticsl thugs in all parties and they are
found wherever this class OF humanity
congregates. Thoy are guided by lu,-
pulse rather than Tossou but to attempt
to bold the great mass oi the voters Of
any political party or Of a state respon-
sible for the unlawful acts Of few Of
these thugs is one Of the most unresson-
able things that any man ever did. No
man who is loyal to Colorado and her
citizens wsuid entertain for moment
the thought that any Of the great mass
OF the fair-minded voters OF any political
party in this state wonld conatenance or
endorse the intliction OF bodily harm on
any candidate for office on any party tic.
ket, and yet the reckless manner IN
which this matter hps beeu handled by
the daily press Of the state cannot fail
to leave somewhat of an impression Of
this kind on the minds Of people in 9th.
er states who are not acquainted with
Colorado people. Tho affair was most
disSraceful aud should receive the sever
est condemnation but newspapers in
their zeal for party success should not
have stopped to use 1t TO blacken the
fair name OF Colorado.
