Democratic Bait Does
Not Capture Them.
Union Rally in What Cheer
Hall Slimly Attended
and Very Chilly.

A Democratic "rally" was held in
What Cheer hall. on North Main street,
last evening. which was to have been
attended by members of the party re-
siding in the Second and Third wards.
And the term, was to have been. is
used advisedly. for by reason OF a lack
OF interest in the issues which were to
overshadow and permeate the meet
ing-issues which are repugnant to the
men who live by the sweat Of their
brow and who are averse to any in
terrupton OF the functions OF their
respiratory systematic attendance
was small. even to a degree OF Slim
ness.
Not until o'clock did the promoters
or the rally have the heart To in
duce Alderman Mccarthy. who had
been selected To officiate as chairman.
TO open the meeting, and to that gen.
tleman II must have seemed unusually
chilly.
The principal speaker was George T.
Brown, and his theme was taxation and
the wickedness of the legislators who,
appointed on committee and called up
on TO sit at public hearings, have from
time to time accepted the extra per
diem which from custom has obtained
in these plantations
a POINT HE FORGOT.
Mr.. Brown. while urging his very
limited number of auditors To repu-
diate the proposed amendment of the
constitution, which IL is hoped will be
submitted TO the people next November
gave no consideration TO the fact that
the Republican legislature is endeav-
oring to abolish all extra sittings OF
committees and To limit the pay of the
members of the legislature to a certain
sum, which shall compensate them for
all t..e work done by them during the
entire political year.
Mr. Brown. in advancing his one
sided argument neglected TO say that
the first legislator who refused to ac-
cept a check forwarded him for scrvi ,es
rendered during a legislative recess,
was a Republican. and that not until
Mr.. Kimball had refused TO accept thai
check did DR. Garvin follow suit. iIe
also neglected TO say that DR.. Garvin
was the only Democrat who ever re-
given TO members for sitting during a
recess.
Providence has endeavored. through
it's legislators. and otherwise. TO secure
amendments to the tax law which
would result in a more equitable dis
trrbution OF the burdens carried by the
citizens.
property should be taxed wherever
round. Such a provision would give to
this city a greatly increased revenue.
and the extra burden would fall upon
those who. while, enjoying all the bene-
fits OF the municipal government. such
as police. and fire protection. take up
their residence in adjoining towns.

STEVENSON MAY RETURN.
The Big Leader of the Teller Silver
Republicans Dissatisfied With
The Democratic Platform.

Hon. A. M. Stevenson is quoted by
the Kansas City Journal as follows:
"A. NJ. Stevenson of Colorado made
a strong argument in favor of the
convention adopting only one plank
and that Free silver at the ratio Of
16 to without the consent of any
other nation
The silver party is divided on
every other question:" said he. IF
this convention denounces expansion,
which, in my judgment. has already
taken place, Colorado is in great dan
ger Of going for the Republicans.
We are striving out there to down
Senator E. 0. Wolcott, but he will
win if we denonnce expansion for
Colorado is in favor of it.
Then look what a humiliating posi-
tion in which it would leave Senator
Teller, the head and front of our party.
He is an expansionist, He has said
so on the floor of the senate. 1t
would place him, an expansionist,pre
siding over an anti-expansion conven-
tion, in an embarrassing position. The
senator and we Coloradoans do not
think the constitution follows the flag.
The senator is on record that way.
The Democratic party of Colorado
is badly split up into factions he
continued. Kansas City today wit
messed the spectacle of Governor
Thomas being opposed for the posi-
tion of chairman of the national con-
vention by the delegation from his
own state. The Democrats in con-
troll in Colorado are evidently in the
pay of the Republicans and Wolcott to
bust up the fusion forces and aid in
carrying the state for the Republicans
On account of this situation it is nee
essary for the Silver Republicans to
poll every one of their votes, and they
can't do it if our party declares
against expansion. Our party was
organized as protest against the
Republicans position on the money
question. We should confined our
platform to that issue solely"

Straw Vote.

One day last week N. F. Handy, the
commission man, was returning from
Leadville. His companion on the d.
& R. G. train was loud Bryan man
and was full of boasts of how Bryan
would carry Colorado. AS the result
of the argument it was decided to
determin, somewhat the sentiment
of Colorado by taking straw vote Of
the coach. The Bryan man knew well
that four years ago nearly every
travelling man was for his candidate
and he supposed there was little
doubt that nearly the entire car was
for Bryan. The conductor informed
the men that all the passengers were
local people getting on. There were
27 passengers The result of the
vote showed 25 Mckinley men and
two for Bryan. The hitherto enthusi-
astic Bryan man declined to take
votes in any other car and did not
care to discuss the subject further.

Water Users Take Notice.

j. l.. Rogers, water commissioner
for district No. IL, was in Canon
Saturday and informed the RECORD
that he was in town for the purpose
of cautioning the users of water to
take care that their headgates were
carefully regulated so as to take no
more water than they were entitled
to under their appropriations. There
is great danger of a shortage. The
rise in the river should not mislead
them, as the rise is occasioned
through the turning into the river
225 feet of water per second by the
Twin Lakes Reservoir company, 80 as
to supply their reservoirs and bitches
in the eastern part of the valley.
Unless care is used there will be a
shortage of water, in which event it
will be necessary to cut off some of
the bitches. This warning should be
needed, as with the prudent use of
water there will prob ably be sufficient
for all. Use only so much1as is ac-
tually necessary.

HONORS FOR A CANONITE.
s. ii. Atwater Reelected President
OF the State Sunday School
Convention--An En-.
thusiastic Meet.

The state Sunday school convention
which closed its annual session at
Denver last Thursday night was the
most enthusiastic and successful ever
held in this state. The attendance
was large, the character of the ad-
dresses the best, and great good must
result to the Sunday school work
throughout the state. In no small
degree is this result due to the untir-
ing efforts Of its president, S. H. At
water, of Canon City, and the efficient
officers who rendered cheerful aid.
Some idea of the growth of the
state convention gatherings may be
formed when we state that three
years ago when the meeting was held
in Canon City, there were only twen-
ty-four outs de delegates in attend
ance; at Boulder two years ago there
were ninety delegates, while this
year at Denver, there were one hun
dred and seventy-fve delegates from
counties outside of Arapahoe county.
Thursday morning the nominating
committee submitted its report as
follows, which was quickly accepted:
President, S. H. Atwater; vice
president, W. E. Sweet; secretary,
Mrs. Jean F. Webb; treasurer, H. P.
Spencer; press secretary, J.H. Beggs;
excu' i've committee, c. X. Powell of
Colorado Springs, Rev. E. G. Lane of
Boulder, Thomas S Early of Pueblo
In few well chosen words Mr..
Atwater thanked the convention for
the honor rendered him, but said: 81
love il; | love it better than anything
else, but my health is breaking and |
cannot, cannot; you must let me
off" This the convention declined
to do, and finally, after further con-
sultation Mr.. Atwater consented to
accept the position.
The convention quickly raised ST.
500 with which to defray the ex-
penses of the field secretary, a posi-
tion which has been most acceptably
filed by Mr. Anson S. Rudd of Canon
City.
To show the feeling of confidence
in their president, we clip from the
Denver report of the proceedings, the
following:
"The cause of the first show of
tears in the convention was the SIM
pie acceptance of the presidency by
the present president and idol of all
Sunday school workers, S. H. Atwater
of Canon City,

A LUCKY cANONITE.
Aaron Ripley Of Garden Park Large
Owner In Rich Gold Claims In
The "Orayback' Country.

For years prospectors have spent
their time and money searching that
portion of the Sangre de Cristo range
lying about fourteen miles north of
Fort Garland, but with Indifferent sue
cess. Occasionally rich strike would
be reported, but no positive, well de-
fined mineral bearing Vein seemed rich
enough to return big results. But
Mr.. Ripley seems to be among the for
tunate few, not however, as the re-
suit of his prospecting, but by care
full investigation and tests by assay
and mill runs. Six patented claims
are now owned by Mr.. Ripley, J. B.
Sloan of La Vita, and H. F. Seton
of Huerfano; the first named owning
one-half of the properties, and for
which he paid $4,000.
Work is being done on three of the
claims and several tests have been
made in order to ascertain the aver
age values of ores. After a recent
run Mr.. Ripley took lot of amalgam
from the plates and the retort tests
left sixteen large gold buttons. The
average value of these tests show
that the ore would run from $50 to
$40 per ton. Picked specimens of
ore run $2,026. Mr.. Ripley, when he
called at the RECORD Office, had with
eight of the gold specimens, which
weighed five and three-fourth ounces.
Twelve men are working steadily and
thousands of tons are ready for ship
ment. Whether to ship or erect a
mill on the property is problem the
gentlemen are trying to solve, and it
is more than likely the latter plan
will be pursued.
The hills are filled with miners and
prospectors, among them many men
from Cripple Creek. Twelve large
companies are busily engaged in de-
veloping their properties. The out
look for "Grayback" is certainly most
promising. The RECORD trusts that
Mr.. Ripley will realize handsomely on
his investment.

Our esteemed fellow townsmen,
Thomas B. Coulter, has been honored
with an invitation to personally attend
the twenty-fourth annual encampment
of che Grand Army Of the Republic,
which will occur at Chicago August
26-30. Comrade Coulter was Senior
Vice Commander of the department
of Illinois in 1877 and Commander in
1878. He also organized the first G.
A. r. Post in Arkansas. The meeting
will be one of the most notable with
in the life of the organization, and
comrade Coulter is extremely sorry
that his physical condition is such
that he is prohibited from accepting
the courtesies extended by the gem
eral invitation committee, but will in
stead, send his regrets.

VIII Remain In The Field.

1t seems that the labor leaders of
Colorado are not to be "snuffed out"
in the approaching political fight in
this state, but instead, will have not
only state ticket but also county
tickets in several counties. The pri-
mary work is well under way and the
sinews of war are to be furnished by
the various organizations in the Fed
GRAFTON. Colonel Ferguson of Victor
seems to be the foremost man in
pushing the work.

Mud Showers in Nebraska.

WYxoaE, NEB., April 25.-The tornado
which devasted this section yesterday was the
most picturesque affair ever witnessed in the
State Though no loss of life resulted, as far
as reports thus far indicate, forests were rooted
up by the mile. Great holes were dug in the
newly ploughed fields and wire fences were
ripped up by the thousands of feet. The most
extraordinary freak of the twister occurred on
the farm OF John Wells, ten miles south.
There the snout of the big cloud switched
about in fifty acre field, striking no less than
dozen times. Itseemed to be whirling
around in that space for several minutes.
Every place where the snout struck hole
from ten to fifteen feet deep and covering
thirty square yards was made and the dirt
carried into the heavens in great streams.
The soil descended in the form of mud show
ers ten miles further north and the houses
around Wymore were spattered with it, Much
stock and poultry were killed.

More Scandals.

The only hope the Republicans have OF re-
electing President Mckinley is to raise the
Free Silver bugbear and thus retain the mil
lion or more of Gold Democrats who sup
norted Mckinley in 1896. But scandal after
scandal has followed in quick succession, and
so have blunders.
Aleerism. embalmed beef, insufficient hos
pitaI service, unsanitary camps, are well re-
membered. Last week it was discovered tnat
the grossest extravaganza prevails in the pay
Of officials in Cuba, and on Wednesday IT
came out in debate in the House OF Repre-
sentatiyes. over an item in the Postot1ce ap-
propriation bill, that exorbitant rates were
being paid for pneumatic tube service In post
offices; that former second Assistant Postmas-
General Nelson had accepted cash and
stock for sci vices; that "a former member OF
the House and also member of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, was one OF the
largest stockholders in the pneumatic TUBE
company; that the tubes were constructed by
contractors who took their pay in stock, ana
the only asset of the company was its contract
with the Postofice Department. Mr.. Moody
of Massachusetts, made the charges. Inc
item for pneumatic tube service carried an
appropriation of S725,0O0, an increase OF
$500. 900, and it was stricken from the bill by
vote of 81 10 so.
As to the free silver bugbear, the Republi-
cans are laundering. In order to call back
free silver Republicans conventions IN a num-
Der of states have declared that the money
issue is settled. Only on Wednesday the Re-
publican convention of Pennsylvania con-
pratuIated the country that the money ques-
ton no longer disturbs business conditions
and that the gold standard is now accepted as
the monetary unit of value. After such de-
clarations by the leading Republican states 1t
will he difficult to raise the money issue, and
the party will be busy defending scandals and
its foreign policy, which has given the lie to
the Declaration of Independence, which de-
clares that governments derive their just
mowers from the consent of the governed;
which has annulled the Monroe Doctrine,
which prohibited foreign interference IN
America. for we have entered Asia; which
has ignored the advice of Washington and OF
all the founders of the Republic.
The Puerto Rico blunder will also plague
the McKinleyites, and a score OF other mat
tiers, and fathers, brothers, widows and or
phans will cry out for revenge upon the party
that has sacrificed their loved ones upon the
altar of greed. The party will be on the de-
fensiye from start to finish.

Quay Ousted.

Senator Matthew S. Quay, OF Pennsylvania,
was denied his seat in the Senate on Tuesday
by vote of SO to 3d.
Senator Quay was not reelected by the
Legislature of Pennsylvania year ago. be-
cause the opposition to him was strong enough
to prevent him from obtaining majority VOTE
As soon as the Legislature adjourned Cover
nor Stone appointed him Senator. The Sen
ate, by the vote as above, declared the Gov
ernor had no right to appoint in the failure OF
the Legislature to elect, and Mr.. Quay had to
vacate his seat, thus leaving Pennsylvania
with but one Senator.
Senator Wellington, of Maryland, was one
of the Republicans voting against Quay.
The Republican State Convention OF Penn
sylvania on Wednesday, however, endorsed
Quay and regretted the action of the Senate.
Mark Hanna was paired against Quay.
