DARED NOT REPLY,

The Loveland Reporter refuses in its
last issue, dated Thursday, as it has re.
fused in its prior issues, to explain its
former position regarding Harry T..
Churchill, Republican nominee for
district attorney. 1t, also, refuses to say
a word in advocacy of his election,
though it is supporting the Republican
ticket. Our readers, we feel sure, will
acoult us OF intent to mislead when we
repeat that we have for many days been
asking the Reporter what information 1t
has that its charge that Churchill was a
dishonest man was founded on error.
He was the nominee of the Republicans
three years ago and the Reporter and
the Boulder Herald-then supporting
George H. Thorne-publlshed damaging
statements concerning him, similar to
those found on another page in this
issue of this paper. The Herald has been
asked to show wherein Mr. Churchill has
at all improved, but it is as silent as the
grave. The Herald will not, it dare not,
say that it regards Mr. Churchill as
worthy of the votes of the people of this
district, Statements and affidavlts we
have published are libellous if untrue.
Does the reader believe we would dare
publish them if they were untrue? Are
YOU. lust because Churchilrs name is on
your ticket-are you going to vote tor a
man proved to be dishonest? Don't you
know that such a man would, likely,
place his hand behind his back when
ever a criminal sought immunity from
prosecution? These questions are asked
in all sincerity and were asked early
enough to permit Of reply from the
Fort Collins Express, the Greeley Re
publican. Greeley Sun, Longmont Call,
Longmont Ledger, Boulder Herald,
Boulder News and Loveland Reporter,
all supporting the Republican nominees.
Not one of them has had the hardihood
Ito their credit be it said-to defend
the rascally reputation of this man whom
Boss Downer and his party are trying to
choke down the threats of an honest
constituency. Mr. Duncan, his opponent
is honest. No newspaper has asserted
or dare assert the contrary. He is as
able as Churchill and no thoughtful cltl'
zen can refuse to give him his vote next
Tuesday.

REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN.
New York WIN BE Center of Activity
as Usual.

New York, June 26.-New York In
1900, as in 1896, will be center OF the ut
most activity In the Republican cam
paign. The New York headquarters has
been placed in charge of Frederick s.
Gibbs, who represents this state in the
Republican national commitece. Four
years ago, the plan of having two central
headquarters for the party in a national
campaign was tried for the first time. 1t
proved successful, although some critics
predicted disagreement as to details of
management and resultant disaster. So
far as the plans We're arranged at a con-
ference between National Committeeman
Joseph IL. Manley of Maine and Mr..
Gibbs, they involve repetition of two
central headquarters in New York and
Chicago. Those headquarters viii be con
nected by long distance To lephone and
leased telegraph wires Every operator
will be sworn to secrecy, as will every
other employe. The chief of the cam
paign will again be Chicago, but especial
attention will be paid to eastern states
and the New York headquarters will be
made thu source of distribution of a vast
amount of campaign literature and the
directing center of an army Of campaign
orators.

THE FITCHBURG LEASE.
Approved by Mass. Legislature ny
Overwhelming Vote.

Boston, June 26.-The lower branch
of the legislature, by an overwhelming
vote of l47 to 80 with numerous pairs,
passed to a third reading this afternoon,
the bill approving the lease of the Fitch
burg railroad, TO the Boston & Maine rail-
road for a period of 80 years. The size
of the vote was a surprise even to the
friends OF the measure, because of nu-
merous speeches made yesterday and to-
day against the bill. Before its final
passage some minor amendments were
adopted which were accepted in good
grace by the friends OF the ball. while
eight others were rejected. The bill has
still another stage in the House before
going to the Senate, but IL Is expected
that the measure will become law by
Saturday night.
Earlier in the day the Senate finally

murder case was held here this after
noon, when County Attorney Matthews
presented some new evidence. After GO
ing thoroughly over the evidence in the

how they stood in the matter and the re-
suit showed two in favor OF verdict

committed the crime, aid four for rem

of any person. At this point County
Attorney Matthews was called into the
jury room and his advice asked in the
matter He stated that he should accept
nothing but IA unanimous verdict and
that he should not consent TO the jury's
discharge by the coroner until IL had
reached one. The county attorney retired
and after due deliberatlon the jury an
nounced to ths coroner that, as they
could not agree, they desired to be dis
charged, but he would not grant their re
quest. County Attorney Matthews said
at the close of the session that he would
not recognize any but n unanimous ver-
dict, and he did not propose to allow the

be presented for their consideration. He
cited the holding in the Reed case for
over two years and the good results and
ne proposed to do likewise In this case If
necessary. The inquest adjourned sub
