tion With the works Of the Susquchanna

An Unvarnished Opinion of
Wolcott,

The gall of Edward o. Wolcott is
monumental and supreme when he
asks the people of Colorado to send
him back TO the Senate. He led them
into the fight for silver, and then,
when the battle began, deserted to the
enemy, selling his birthright for the
federal patronage of the state. When
he proclaimed from his seat in the Sen
ate that to repeal the Sherman silver
purchasing act would destroy Colora-
do as Carthage of old was destroyed"
and that the state might as well be
plowed up and sown with salt" he
warned the capital of the world 80
avoid US, and contributed more to our
trouble than the celebrated "bloody
bridle' speech. His excuse is that
the silver cause has become hopeless.
one of the leaders of the American
Revolution, while still believing that
the cause was right, abandoned it be
cause he thought il was hopeless. His
name was Benedict Arnold That
other cold-blooded traitor is IL. o. VOL

Gilpin observer., 1900-10-11

pacity of the waistband of his over
alls, that "Jim" Orman was the con-
trolling spirit and that his hand was
always extended to help every honest
workingman. And he was ever after
ward Jim to that man. He is In
touch with human nature; he is In
touch with the working classes; he is
in touch with Colorado. AS governor,
no man could have more adequate
and complete conception of actual con
ditions. Probably no other man in
the state has been in position to so
closely observe daily occurrences from
the point of view of both the capitalist
and the workingman. This experience
in common with rare executive capaci-
ty, will make Jim Orman an ideal
governor. He knows Colorado; he
knows the people; that the people
know him will be demonstrated on No
ember 9th, when every workingman
in the state will put his little "X" OPP
posite the ticket headed by Jim" Or
man, our next governor.
The Pueblo Courier says that so far
the Republicans have been exceedingly
unfortunate in the selection of speak
ers that were sent to Pueblo. The
Wolcott-Roosevelt combination was
frost, and the speech this week made
by Senator Stewart was fiat failure
from every point of view. Send along
n few more of that kind and the Bryan
majority will be increased.
Gilpin observer., 1900-10-11

would be unpatriotic and ill-advised to
advertise them to the world, but when
the fact is known that warrants are
at par and investors bidding to secure
them, the offense of the senator against
the good name of Colorado merits Sc
we're condemnatlon.-Lam Sparks.
Those who were with Bryan in 1896
on the money question, and have left
him this year, are not explaining their
political conduct to the full satisfaction
of themselves or their friends The
noise about the ''honor of the flag" Is
falling pretty fiat even when made by
so prominent a man as Roosevelt. The
greatest men in the Republican party
say that Hanna, Mckinley and Roose-
welt are working towards an empire.
Sherman, Edmunds and Reed are not
traitors. They are the brainiest states
men in the Republican party. Our
friends need not go outside of their
own party to find the best authority
for contradicting the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
thies of those who are easily excited
and houghtless.-Aspen Democrat.
The really most vital question before
Colorado voters Mt the coming election
is not the election of Bryan and Stew
enson, but whether Senator Wolcott
shall be given another term in which
to misrepresent the people whom he
has SO shamefully betrayed In the past.
That with Coloradoans is the para
mount issue. His defeat is not a mat
ter of revenge for past offenses, but
matter of necessity, If the real SEN
timent of this state is to be properly
construed in the Senate of the United
States. The Senator is entirely out of
touch with the true sentiments OF
large majority of the people OF the
state. He does not represent n single
interest common with his constituents.
1t would be becoming act on the part
of Senator Wocott to resign from n
position that to n man of honest pur-
poses would long since have proven
distasteful, but the Senator is not cast
in such n mold, and 1t will be neces-
sary to knock him out. This intention
should be made manifest with empha-
sis.-Trinidad Monitor.
In his speech at Denver, Governor
Roosevelt said: "The states where Ia
Dor is best protected are those which
usually elect Republican executives and
Legislators" Surely the man stamps
himself ms the ridiculous freak that he
is depicted when he makes such state
ments as that. Is not Pennsylvania
the surest Republican state In the
Union? and the horrible conditions OF
labor as shown up by the present strike
of 10000 coal miners should make
even Mr.. Roosevelt blush with shame.
Then Homestead and Hazelton will
never be forgotten by American labor.

ian workmcn last year In New York
by state mllltlamenl The Italians were

of the state law fixing the hours OF

The Paramount Issue.

he Paramount Issue.
While there may be a great deal of
discussion and difference of opinion
in eastern cities relative to the promi-
nence of this or that issue in the cam
paign, the paramount issue in the state
of Colorado is the retirement of Ed
ward o. Wolcott from the Senate of the
United States. The temper of the peo-
pie of this state has been well Illus
trated in the Roosevelt tour and in
which the governor of New York was
made the innocent victim of the wrath
which the people were endeavoring to
vent upon the Junior senator of this
| state. No man is more cordially detest-
! ed and despised than he, and even Re
| publicans of lifelong standing find
Wolcott the worst dish of crow which
they have had in many years.
He has never failed, when 1t suited
his purpose or when he was out of tenn
per, to heap obloquy and insult upon
the people whom he was alleged to rep
resent, and has at various times and
in divers manners shown his utter con-
tempt for those principles of political
economy which the people of Colorado
most cherish. His record In Congress
has been Il continuous series of betray-
ais of the trusts reposed in him by the
people OF this state, and all for politi-
cal power and pelf
The Telegraph yesterday discussed
the nomination of the four fusion can
didates for the General Assembly,
! Messrs. Seldomridge, Montgomery,
Hollenbcck and Sprague. While there
are many things which will require the
care and attention of these four mem
bers of the next General Assembly, the
chief and conspicuous thing which they
will he called upon to do Is to ballot
upon successor TO Wolcott. Every
member Of this legislative ticket is
pledged to vote and work against him,
and If there was absolutely nothing
else which could commend them to the
people OF El Paso and Teller counties,
this one pledge should be sufficient.
The people OF Colorado Springs ought
not, cannot and will not vote for a leg
islative ticket whose members will vote
to return such n man as Wolcott to the
United States Senate. The shlfty, evas-
i've, brutal Wolcott. 1t IL inconceiv-
able that the women OF Colorado
Springs are going to send men to the
Legislature who viii cast their ballots
for such man as Wolcott.
His abandonment of bimetallism is
only one Of the conspicuous ways In
which he has misrepresentcd the peo-
pie OF Colorado, and despite his bull

methods. he IL going to be rebuff d In
n signal manner by the decent and in

The feeling against him will be
shown better In the vote on the legls.

so decisive that It viii forever remove
