1.-THE western slope has just one can
dldats on the state ticket this fall. The
eastern part OF the state 'gobbled every
thing in the fusion conventions but when
the republicans came to make their nom
inations, they picked out a man for state
treasurer frop this side. That man is
Orson Adams of Grand Junction. Mr..
Adams is Mesa county boy, having
lived there from boyhood He started
as cowboy and has, by strict integrity
and attention to bu siness, tdvanced step
by step, until he has beco'ue one OF the
members OF the Mesa county bank and
is at present its cashier. He is the kind
OF man we need for state official. To
those who know him no words OF praise
are necessary, for to know him is to be-
come his friend, but for the benefit OF
those unacquainted with the gentleman,
we will say that he is the best selection
that could have been made for state
treasurer His experience in the bank
ing business has fitted him for the po-
,sition to which he aspires, as few men
are fitted.

WITH BRYAN NOW.

Attorney General Monnett was
elected to his position when Nc
Kinley was elected governor of
Ohio by the republicans. He
states positively that there are
trusts and throughout his entire
administration fought to the bit
ter the greatest trust on earth
the Standard Oil company. This
year Mr.. Monnett is working for
Bryan and the overthrow of the
gigantic trusts which the repub-
lican party has fostered. Gen.
Monnett was offered a 100000
bribe by the Standard Oil Co.
Here is an extract from a speech
delivered on labor day in Colum
bus, Ohio, by Mr.. Monnett:
Former Attorney General
Monnett, of Ohio in speech de-
livsred at the Labor Day picnic in
Columbus, declared that the state
and national statutes were ade-
quats to destroy all trusts if en-
forced. Advising the labor Or
carnations as to what he believed
to be their duty, he said: Inform
your selves of the most reliable
data, the true sources and cause
of this evil, and at every election
in this country, municipal, county,
state and national, vote down every
congressman, take away the seat
OF every Judge, remove every
governor, defeat every member of
the Legislature and send to oh
livion every councilman who vio-
lates his oath of office and fails or
neglects to enforce the existing
laws. You have laws enough now
in the state and national statute
books to electrocute every mono
poly and destroy every trust, il
the courts and executive officers,
whose duty it is to decide and ex-

ecute, would do their whole duty.
There is a remedy in government
for ever wrong in the year 1900,
as we'll as when the. trust doctrine
was first announced. Govern
mental officials of the nations and
the ages past have too often
sown the seeds of dissolution by
their Indifference, bribery and
neglect, until the rumbling OF the
masses and the red flames of an
archy and the wan arms of starv-
alton have risen in their wrath
and righted these grievous
wrongs"

THE ARCH-INSTIGATOR.

When E. o. Wolcott started
in his own defense to cry stop
thief, he, in common street par
lance, barked up the wrong tree.
Decency has little part in VOL
cott's make up, even those who
train with him being aware OF
this fact. He is ruffian in nature,
even though that part of his
character is strongly veneered to
suit his purpose and to deceive.
He has done the greater part
of his campaigning in TRADES
against Denver's metropolitan po-
lice force, while he was supply
ing the thugs and holdups to do
the work The junior senator is
not any more to believed in his
assertion about the Denver police,
than he was upon the silver ques-
tion, to which he proved himself
a double distilled traitor.
The public will be kept inform
ed of his campaigning just as fire.
quently as his purchased press do
the "stop thief" act for him.
The following from the Rocky

Mountain News shows Mr.. VOL
,ott's plan of action in a ferc
calcium light, 80 plain that h
who runs may read of his iniquity
"What this desperate and
dangerous man did to injure
the fair name of the state he
now is doing in another way
to injure the good repute OF
this city. He has imported
and organized band of
criminals who commit crime,
or pretend to commit crime,
in order that the columns of
his newspapers may be filled
with reports of their mis-
deeds, and so that he may
call upon honest people to
help him-him, the arch-in-
stigstor of it ALTO uproot
the evil. An adventurer,
without conscience; a bood-
ler, with huge corruption
fund; traitor, without the
saving grace of shame; Ed
o. Wolcott has the cynical
and blsckguardly audacity to
turn loose a clique of hired
ufflans upon this city, while
asking honest men and wo-
men to help him restrain ruff
fanism. Let the police run
in Wolcott's criminal gang
and thuggery in Denver will
be at an end"

Lake View was made several months
ago with a party of Topeka friends.
They spent the day casting flies but
did not catch a single fish. On the way
to the club house after sunset a sue
cessful fisherman, seeing the governor
empty-handed, handed the chief execu-
tive a handsome string of bass. The
governor marched proudly to the club
house and displayed his catch with
wonderful audaeity among those who
had failed during the day just as he
had. But the governor could not with
stand the pressure of the joke. He later
told of the benefaction of Robert Pierce.
