WILLIAM b. NE ell EY.

He was Missourian once and came
of good old Missouri stock. He came to
Colorado when boy and has spent all
the years of his manhood in the northern
end of Boulder county. Mr. Medley has
always been successful farmer and for
many years has been the successful
superintendent of the great Boulder and
White Rock ditch, whose intake is at
l2.h street bridge, Boulder, and which
covers a vast farm acreage in the mid.
die and north ends of this county. Mr.
Neeley's direction of the affairs of th,s
enterprise has rendered him popular
with consumers of its water, and
throughout the county he is known for
his energy. and his business integrity.
Everyone calls him "Billy"-a sure
sign of his popularity.
In private life, Mr. Medley is an exem.
plar OF good citizenship. The man does
not live who dare gainsay this statement
A member of several fraternal organiza.
.tions, Mr. Medley has proved genial
factor in the up building and cultivation
of the social life OF his section of the
county. He is ~ years of age now and
is man whom Office will not spoil.
Everywhere his word is considered as
good as his bond. Mr. Medley never
sought office and was not a candidate for
the nomination of representative in the
9Th general assembly. A farmer near
Garfield proposed his name in the
Democratic convention, and, though the
Longmont delegates had other candid.
ates, they readily seconded his nomina.
ton, He was endorsed by the Populists
and Silver Republicans and is the nomi.
nee of the three silver parties for repre-
sentative.
A word to Boulder people: Mr. Nee.
ley's interests are sot confined to one
end of this county. His business calls
him frequently to Boulder and he has
become attached to the citizens of this
place. Speaking Of the state university
he said to Camera reporter: Il am as
proud of that institution as any citizen of
Boulder. 1t doesn't belong to you-it's
ours. want to see the university grow
and prosper and you can pledge me to
vote increasingly for as generous pro
vision for it as the next general assembly
can possibly make"
The farmers feel that they have in Mr.
Neeley a special representative and he
is cast in such q mould that we can truly
say that he will make an admirable
representative Of all the people. He
viii be elected.

JUDGE BOatGHTON'S LETTER.

The letter from Judge Boughton, pub.
lished in this issue, is manly statement
and one that was expected from him by
those who knew him best. Judge
Bougton feels aggrieved and says SO.
but at the same time he regards his duty
to his party and friends who supported
him to be his complete submission to the
action of the committee. He has per.
sonal admiration for both Judge Bennett
and Mr. Duncan and could not feel that
he should permit sense of wrong to in
lure their chances of election.
AS to Mr. Duncan. the reader will note
that he is endorsed by Judge Boughton.
The latter was sitting Judge at the time
when the honesty of H. E. Churchill, Mr.
Duncan's opponent. was impeached. No
man of character has vouched for the
honesty of Mr. Churchill. Does the
reader realize that the district attorney
has 10 his sole power the dismissing OF
prosecutions Of criminals? This IS
great power and one which should never
Be conferred upon a man whose honesty
is questioned. We have no intention, ten, OF
doing Churchill any wrong; We have
appealed t, the Boulder Herald and
Isveland Reporter. which published
articles in 1857 rejecting upon his char
acter. We have asked them what ev'
dence they now have that they m'.rep

Hon. L. c. Paddock, Boulder, Colo.
Dear Sir:-Some things need to be
said with reference to my position in the
present important campaign. l believe
I owe it to my friends. l am certain l owe
it to myself that frank statement of my
political position beknown. l have held
the office of district Judge for nearly SIX
years now and hope have so discharg.
ed its duties as to entitle my words to
the respect of all thinking men and
women of this district. Indeed, | have
received 50 many evidences OF the re
gard of the people of this judicial dis
trict. that cannot believe otherwise. AT
this hour my work is nearly completed
and would not utter or write line
knowingly which could lessen the
mutual respect and esteem | believe to
exist.
am not about to weary you with re
cital of the failure of the recent fusion
conventions to express what know to
have been the popular will at the time
namely, my renomination-nor of the
rascally dis position of the nominations
by portion of the committee on vacan
1cies. con lone nothing. | condemn
the schemes of the tr,cksters in that con
vention and loathe the individuals with
all my heart and soul, who, by false pre-
lenses, Obtained credentials to conven
ton and then set aside the will OF the
people.
But, while this is true, l do not consider
this miscarriage OF right and decency to
be the fault of any political party. While
i de,est the cabal which brought this
about, Il recognize that l owe much to
loyal and staunch friends who. represent
ing a great numerical majority in the
Ironventions worked and voted to carry
out the will of the silver forces of the
district. This loyalty can not dis
regard and my personal devotion to
the cause represented by William
Jennings Bryan and the Democratic
party, of which be is the honored leader,
moves me to ask all these friends, of all
parties, to give their support to Judge c.
A. Benn 1T and Mr. Guy D. Duncan. To
these gentlemen l attribute no fault.
They are both worthy and capable and
took no'hand in the disgraceful machi'
nations to which have referred. have
been proud to rank Judge Bennett as one
of my best friends for years and have
always acknowledged his ability as a
lawyer. Especially should l invite my
friends to this course, by certain con
viction il have that all must work to-
| gether in the four counties for the sue
cess of the legislative tickets and the re

no matter what happened in that re.
narkable narrative. the mill was always
flour mill. When Man,on was little
boy he went to mill. but be carried
quarts worth more than any golden grain
that ever went through the hopper.
He followed this business until the call
came for volunteers tor the Third Colo.

hood. His brother. by the way. was a
trooper of company B, of the Fifth Iowa
cavalry.
Manion was in the famous Sand Creek
fight, receiving wound there that laid
aim up for the rest of the winter. The
wounded were taken to the hospital At
Fort Lyons. and as soon as they were
able to travel were brought to Denver.
and after about six months of the "Army
Blue" they were mustered out. N
Manion went back to Empire and took
up his work IN the mines until the fall of
O.. when the Wadsworths went to Ober-
lin to give their children-they had two
besides young Manion-a chance to get
an education. Mr. Wadsworth came
back to Colorado, but left his family.
After about two years at school Man,on
went to Detroit and went into CONNER.

eral years. During this time he married
Miss Florence Anderson One of her
brothers was connected with the Detroit,
Grand Haven and Milwaukee road, and
he painted railroading in such glowing
colors that Manlon was glad to accept a
position in the freight Office of that road
After about year there he went to Ian

As tbs possible for the stuff to 90,

And even booze from the bar1 runs

But it never gets real cold, you know.
And so he came back home, and went
to Boulder county and took up the life
he had lived at Empire. He has several
mining properties at Springdale and Is
interested at Gold Hill beside. Two of
his children are Wolverines, but the two
Youngest are Colorado born and bred.
His family lives at Boulder during the
winter, in order that the children may
have the educational advantages there
The friends Of the state university feel
perfectly safe in leaving its Interests in
the hands of the fusion contingent. A
man who spent his boyhood working to
lay up money to take him to school is
not apt to think lightly Of the educational
interests Of the state. There is plenty of
time to think Of other measures of in,eres,

standing on an absolutely anti Wolcott

THE MAN CHURCHILL.

Dteho nesty OF the Republican Nominee for
District Attorney.
Three years ago H. E. Churchill was
candidate for district attorney. The
Loveland Reporter, Republican news
paper, published the following Novem.'
Der I, 1897. There has been no reply to
this, no attempt TO prove its falsity and
yet this is the man who presumes to dis.
pute this office with Guy D. Duncan of
Boulder:
$50 much has been asserted in this
present campaign as to the personal acts
of the two leading candidates for district
attorney. that an overplus has been
created. Those who favor the third
man in the race insist that he is thor
ough business mana most exact per
son-and one whose every act is full of
integrity, business and honor.
Listen
upon the 10th day of April, 1891, H
E. Churchill acknowledged the receipt
of collection sent him by Denver
lawyer to push against two men living
near Greeley. In the letter Mr. Churchill
said that suit in justice court would
probably bring in the money.
"One year later, or to be precise, on
May 4. 1892. upon being pressed for a
report of tina, collection, he wrote, 4

this SUMNER
Eighteen months after the collection
was first sent-to be exact, on October
IS, 1892, the Denver attorney wrote Mr.
Churchill as follows:
II wrote you some time ago about the
claim OF S. Engle VS.. Albert and Jacob
Fry. which sent you year and half
ago. Please write me fully
To this Mr. Churchill replied on DC

"This claim is in Judgment in justice

When S. S. Downer got rich BY hold
ing Office in this district, 1t was natural
that his inclinatioas should be toward
gold bug Republieanism. When he
became National bank director and 4
corporation attorney, this affection, for
the golden Calf, of course, became more
ardent. That is Why he wobbled in 1896,
after promising to vote for the Demo.
cratic nominee for president That is
why he changed his allegiance from,
Teller to Wolcott. Did we hear some
silver man remark that he was going to-
vote for Downer?
The Conservative, 1900-11-22

But the representation of the south in
congress and in the electoral college is
based upon the false assumption that
the negro does enjoy all the privileges
of citizen. There may be, and no doubt
are, very satisfactory reasons for restrict
ing the franchise in the southern states.
The CONSERVATIVE will not dispute this
point. But if the negro and other
illiterate classes in the south are to be
disfranchised, the southern states should
yield that portion of their congressional
representation based upon the colored
population. 1t is not right that the vote
of one man south of the Mason and
Dixon line should count as much as the
votes of seven men north of that line, as
is the case under the present rule of
apportionment.
w. E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record,
recently made an interesting comparison
of the vote of seven
congressional dis.
tricts of South Carolina and the vote of
seven Illinois districts. The following
are the votes cast in the seven South
Carolina districts
The Conservative, 1900-11-22

The total vote of the seven congress.
ional districts of South Carolina is but
90, 1881 against 274,279 for the same num-
Der of districts in Illinois. One voter in
South Carolina has the same representa-
tion in con gress as seven voters in Illi-
nois. A South Carolina congressman
represents 1858 voters while the mem-
ber from Illinois represents 39,197 or
10, 900 more voters than are represented
by the seven members from Tillman's
state. It is these inequalities the next
session of congress should correct-by
making a new basis of fapportionment in
conformity with the amendment to the
constitution.
