THAT BANNER AGAIN.
The Globe Democrat comes in for large

The Globe Democrat comes in for large chunks of our
contemporaries billin gsgate concerning that banner bearing
the inscription ''sic semper tyrannis,' ESQ be it ever to
tyrants). There is something ridcuously funny in the de-
Tense made by our 2nd street %nei9hbor, OF that banner. Now
who were the tyrants meant? Dockery who was heading the
procession or all of us bad, bad Republicans? A man down
ut New Florence sent word to this office that he would bet
500 cold cash that no such banner was in the procession.
The man was a democrat too, and he was informed that this
Office did not bet, but we had a friend who would bet and
that 5000 would be put up against his 500 that 1T was IN the
procession. but the democrat from New Florence did not
come to time. Another democrat said if such Il banner was
in the procession then some wicked Republican Struggled
the thing in, that no democrat would do such a thing. Now
comes the pencil slugger from End street with his billings
gate galore and mixes up a stick full of 9-point idiots, liars
etc, and hurls the whole thing at the Globe-Democrat and
its pious correspondents.

No Contest for Yerkes.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 12.-After
a meeting of the Republican cam
paign committee to-day, Chairman
Leslie Coombs gave out a state
ment in which, after reiterating his
charges of wholesale fraud on the
part of the democrats, he said;
"The result ofthis election, when
thoughtfully considered, is full of
hope and without encouragement.
AS long as we can show substan-
tial growth of strength on behalf of
the great principles for which we
are contending, we may look for
ward with abiding faith in the
power of the people to govern them
selves. In the contest which is
just over, there was no large silent

INSTANTLY L
Robert Oliver Thrown from His
Buggy and Killed Near
WeIlsvilie.

The news OF Robert divers
death reached here last Monday
night. AS near as a TRIBUNE re-
porter could gather the facts, the
sad accident occurred as follows:
II seems that Mr.. Oliver was alone
In his buggy going to Wellsyille in
the early afternoon of Monday.
When near Wellsville he passed
two men on the road, they goingin
the opposite direction. A few
minutes after they heard o team
running, and looking around they
saw divers team running ct full
speed toward them. Fearing the
horses would run into n barbed
wire fence, they did not stop the
team but fastened on up the road
to where they found Mr.. divers
body as it had been thrown from
the buggy. Death was evidently
instant.
Some years ago MIR. Oliver suffer-
ed a severe spell of sickness which
resulted in drawing his head for
ward and leaving his neck and
shoulders stiff. 1t is thought that
he was pitched out of his buggy on
his face and not being able to ward
OFF any OF the shock, the fall broke
his neck.
Mr.. Oliver was about go years
old and a half brother OF j. r.
Appling of this city and a brother
in-law of T. NJ. johnson OF near
this city. He was a member of
the Christian church and also of
the Masonic fraternity. His funeral
and burial took place Tuesday at
W~ellsyille.

PLURALITY.

NEW YORK, Nov. mckinley

ralities on Tuesday. His plurality
will be about $4,000. The greatest

Democratic editors are nearly falling over each other
trying to be first in saying that Imperialism was a bogus is
sue, and yet these same fellows wrote long editorials for the
past three months on 'the terrors of Imperialism y and
some OF their readers pretended that they believed it all. If
the Democratic party will paramount some real good hard
horse sense in their future platform the great mass of the
people will have more respect for them. To be properly
punished for the heresies and sins of 1896 and 1898, they
should be kept out of power in the nation for the next fifty
years.

J. L. MOORhEAD.

The multifarious interests of a
large community, the complica-
tons arising from the varied line
of work, and the changeable and
exacting public with which one
has to deal, make 1t important and
the head of the postal department
of a large city be a person of many
qualifications, a scholar, a man of
business experience as well as one
who is a good judge Of human
nature. That the subject of this
sketch, Mr.. j.. L. Moorehead, the
postmaster of Boulder, is just such
a man, is well attested by the way
he has conducted the affairs of his
office in this city, and by the gem
eral satisfaction that is expressed
by all as to the superior methods
of management introduced. Mr..
Moorhead is a native of Ohio,
coming to Colorado in 1878 and
graduating from the high school at
Boulder three years later. In 1878
he was made deputy postmaster, a
position he held for nine years, af-
ter which he served as deputy
county clerk for four years and
as county clerk for two years. His
experience in these two positions
was such that he joined Mr.. Cowie
in the abstract and title business,
and it is said that this firm had the
most perfect set of abstract books
in Colorado.
In May of this year, at the solicit
tation of his numerous friends, he
was appointed Postmaster OF Boul-
1der, and has brought to that Office
long years of experience, which
make him valuable to the business
and personal interests of the citi-
zens.
He has always been a Republican
and voted in 1896 for the adminis-
tration that has done so much for
the present prosperity of the coun-
try, never believing for a moment
that Colorado would be destroyed
or her mines closed if the free
coinage OF silver was not adopted,
and in that he has shown himself
to have been right. He is a Mason
of high standing, being Eminent
Commander in his Commandery,
is unassuming in his official duties,
realizing that he is the servant OF
the people. Nevertheless, he is one
of Boulder's most public spirited
citizens, and a supporter of all n
terprises that contribute to her ad-
vancement.
The receipts of this postoihce
were S991.97 for August 1896, and
81, SOC. 10 for August, 1900, a ball
ance of S537.93 in favor of this
year OF "seeming prosperity"
Mr.. Moorhead's advance has
been complimentary, showing the
confidence of the public in his in
tegrity and business capacity. He
is a man who commands the re-
spect of every one, irrespective OF
party, and it is just such men who
have a distinct influence for good
in the community in which they
live."-Col. Springs Gazette.
Mr.. j. L. Moorehead is a brother
i, of c. c. Moorhead of Bellflower
and a son of Mrs. r. T. Moorheac
9 of this city. He is quite vel
. known to a number OF our people
who will be pleased to learn of hii
success in the west.

Although Senator Hanna has not yet named the Chair
man of the Washington committee which will make the ar
engagements for and have charge of the second Inauguration
of President Mckinley, the prominent men of the national
capitol are already discussing ways and means OF making the
event memorable. The tenor of public sentiment in Wash
ineton was reflected by l.. II. Michener, Gen. w. w. Dud-
LEWIS law partner, when he said of next Inauguration day
.sAll the richness and grandeur that we can lavish upon that
occasion will not be too much. 1t will be the first inaugu-
ration of IA new century, and will mark a victory no less i'm
pressive or important than that of the second election OF
Lincoln. We should strive to excel. in glory of that day,
the splendor of the jubilee of England's Queen. We should
show that there is nothing mean or cheap about a republic
and that even the oldest and greatest of monarchies cannot
outdo us in doing honor to the institutions and history of
the nation.'' With this spirit prepaling, President
McKinley's second Inauguration cannot fail to be one of the
most imposing and magnificent events in our history.

thought the leaders OF the Democ-
racy in the county had gathered
all the rotteness in existence
around me and I found that II had
even penetrated the bony structure
enveloping my brain.
Well, saw the Democratic party
re-organized. VIM Jennings Bryan
took a back seat and looked on.
Free silver, militarism and imper-
ialism-in fact, all of the para
mount issues and isms, were
dumped into the waste basket.
Now came a new platform and
new issues. Sound money, trusts
and free trade headed the list. Just
then the music commenced. Mr..
Bryan got excited over The neglect
of free silver. Mr.. Jones wouldn't
desert the cotton trust. Mr.. Cleve-
land sung a few notes on free trade.
Out of this conglomerated state of
affairs arose a new party and its
name was Mud. The paramount
issue was anything to delude the
people. Now came back to old
Missouri the grandest State of them
all, and | hung my head in shame.
A railroad conductor cheated out

THOSE THREE ISLANDS.

The yellow press is disposed to make a mares nest out
of the cable news from Madrid that this government had
agreed to pay Spain 100000 for three islands, adjacent to
the Philippines, subject to the ratification of the treaty pro-
viding therefor by the senate, and some cock and bull stories
about the regret of Secretary Hay at the giving out of the
news in Madrid have been printed. To get down to cold
facts the matter is not news at all, as it was fully published
some months ago, that rather than have a long diplomatic
wrangle with Spain over its claim of sovereignty of these is
lands, because they were outside of the geographical limits
named in the treaty ceding the Philippines to the United
States, this country had agreed to pay Spain 500, 900 for
them.

President Mckinley is still receiving congratulations on
one of the most remarkable endorsements ever given a Presi-
almost continual levee during office honrs. He does not
regard the result as so much Il personal and party triumph,
as it was a triumph of right over wrong, and as involving
new responsibility for himself and the republican majority in
congress, in order that the people may see that their con
fdence and endorsement was deserved. He has succeeded
in conducting his present administration, up to this time,
through some very trying circumstances, without making a
single mistake of Importance, and he proposes to do his ut
most to continue that good record through his second ad-
ministration.

MANY CLAIMANTS
Numerous Heirs Seeking Rousler Wan
 dells Fortune

New York, April 1S.--An estate worth be- tween $lO,0O 900 and s2O O,0O0OOO, it has been discovered, was left by Rousler Wandell, recluse who died in obseurity fifteen
 years ago. Over 200 persons have come for.
 ward with claims as heirs, and a great legal battle for the property will soon be- gin
 When Waddell, a bachelor, was buried in Albany only his housekeeper and servants.
 five persons altogether, attended the ob- sequies
 During his life the man was a mystery, and at his death it was only made deeper.
 For some reason that has not been dis
 covered he lived under the name of Me- Intyre. He made few friends. and had no confldants. He was always busy and seemed engaged in affais of importance,
 but no one knew what his business was and no one apparently cared. Rousler Waddell, it Is now said. was the son of John G. wandell, who came to Philadelphia in 1So6 and died in 1869. He
 had thirteen children, five of whom died early. At the demise of the father, Rousler
 Wanden came into an estate of over $1,- O00O,0O which it is said he increased from
 ten to twenty fold
 Rousler drifted away from his family and they did not hear from him in many years. Meanwhile. many of his brothers and sisters died, leaving children and even grandchildren There was a tradition in
 the family that Rousler had become rich. and a search made for him. After years of inquiry 1t was discovered that he had moved to Albany and had assumed the name of Mcintyre.
 It was also learned that he had died in- testate, and a search was made for his for tune. Part of it was found in large estates in the Canary Islands. Application was tiien made in the surrogates court of AL bany for the appointment of executors and a further search was made for the nearest living kin
 This was about ten years ago. Since then more of the estate has been discovered every year, and more relatives to claim it. There are now over twenty-five law firms representing the various heirs, and there Will be big fight for the fortune The firm of Fellows Wandell & Stiebe- ling, of No Il Pine street, Manhattan rep resents about twenty of the heirs Mr NandeL member of the firm is also one Of the claimants, and will in a few days go to Albany to ask for a division of the estate This will bring on the legal battle
 MT Nandell, like many of the other heirs, traces his relation to the deceased back to Thomas Wandell, who lived on the Island of Manhattan about the year l620. He owned tract of land in what is now the heart of the downtown portion of the city This was the foundation of the Wandell fortune
