A dood Man and Smooth.

We believe that Mr.. Alya Adams
has, ueconsciousiy, made a political
stroke that viii count much in his
favor. He recently made an address
at Canon City before the !. n. C. A.
and the publication of the same in an
English paper Of that organization. is
looked upon as coup d'etat from
which the other politicians win not
recover for some time. The Opinion,
of course, is not for any Democrat

not an uncertain winner If he can

crat can win--Pueblo Opinion.

MR.. MAuPiN TALKS.

/ On Monday night. January 9th, Mr.
J. H. Maupin delivered an address be-
fore the Victor Democratic club.
His subject was Colorado Democracy
Its Past, Present and Future"
The speech was not remarkable but
for its extreme plainness on the sub
ject of fusion. In Fremont county
Mr.. Maupin has in recent years been
a fusionist and it has been largely
through his influence that the COM
binate of Democrats, Tellsr Silvsrs
and Populists has been male. 1t
might be interesting for Mr.. Maupin's
home allies to see what he thinks Of
them when away from home. Here
is a part of what he said:
And now, my Democratic friends.
what of the fu ure OF the Democratic
party in this Statep Ii is useless to
deny the fact, and i am rry to admit
1t, that for nearly ten years past we
have been catering and dickering with
other political organizations for the
purpose OF enlisiing their sympathy
and securing lew offices, and during
this time We have succeeded In eiecting
two governors, both of whom, it is to
be regretted. have gone into Office
handicapped with promises TO divide
their patronage with these political
fragments which. at best, only advocate
certain principles which the Democratic
party has proclaimed and maintained
for years and years
II they sincerely believe, as | doubt
not they do, in these pri' ciples, then
why don't they come into the open
arms of the Democratic partyS
In other words, why don't they get
on and ride with usY II they are uD-
willing TO do this, when they know the
horse carries double, then | say let
them walk III the future But, If they
prefer TO ride, as they are invited to do
by the great Democratic party. they
must be content 10 ride behind.
II is well enough. perhaps. as a recrs-
alton and for pasfime, 10 waste ones
time and money in side shows when
the principal entertainment has not
commenced, but in few months, my
friends, the music viii start up, the
artillery Will commence to FIRE, the
ranks viii begin to close and the great
battle will be on.
I uutI chtu VIC uiltsA
hasten to prepare for the coming CON
flict which is now near at hand We
have no time TO resort TO expediency.
and II is not principle 10 do so: we can
not waste time csJoiing opposing fac
tions. and IL is not principle 10 do this
Now Populist and Tellar friends,
isn't that plain enough for you? You
are nothing but very small side shows-
You have afforded recreation and
amusement for the Grea. Democratic
party in the past. but your miss ion
has been fulfilled and you are entirely
eclipsed by the Big Show. Your days
are numbered You are between the
devil and the deep sea. You have a
choice of but two ways. You may
ride if you will be content to ride be-
hind and be footman for the Greater
Democracy, or you can walk. I'VE
have no time for eIpediency,' says
the Democratic leader, 1T isn't prin-
cipal to dicker with you. Come to
our show and play second fiddle or
go to- Madrid"
This speech is interesting in the
light Of Mr.. Maupin's Fremont coun-
ty fusion experience, and in view of
the fact that he is candidate for
governor and aspires to be a leader
of Democracy in Colorado.

A Few Facts About Her Resources
and Natural Advantages.

Following is the text of a recent
chamber of commerce pamphlet
brought up to date:
If the handiwork of men is an index
to character, this beautiful city
stands as a monument to the broad
and liberal ideas. which inspired its
founders when laying it out.
This may be seen in its location, in
its wide and level highways, and in
the profusion of its stately shade
trees. These everywhere adorn and
beautify the place, and extend their
arms along each thoroughfare, as if
to invite with generous foliage, a
perpetual blessing. Many of the
homes with their environments are
absolutely charming in appearance,
and bespeak culture and content
msnt, that are rarsly met with out
side of the Oldest communities of the
East. Cahon City, together with
South Canon, contains about 1900
inhabitants. They are as well edu-
Gated, and as intelligent as the people
Of any section of the country. The
number of newspapers, magazines and
other publications of a literary and
scientific character which pass
through the Canon City postofhce to
regular subscribers equals that of
any other Western town in proper
tion to its population. The city
contains twelve churches and church
organizations. one Y. NJ. G. A. organ
ization. one Chamber of Commerce,
FIVE public school buildings, thirtv-
three teachers, three newspapers, one
