ed that he has already promised tho
deputy ship, in case OF his election to
the county clerkship, to three different
individuals, viz: Ed. Mitchell, Charles
Niccum and another party. and the Lord

to one or more in each election precinct

it will in no event be given to either of
the promised parties, but to his daugh-

For sheriff Thomas Cody should re-

good officer. He has lived here for many
years, assisting in building up Gilpin

has only been here 18 months, and for
this Office there should he one Who

He is just, liberal and able man, is
true 10 every way possible, he does bis

Mr.. Murley, his opponent, should not be

Of his goods and groceries in Denver and
always puts on the assessment of taxes
on the poorer classes. He also decries
the revenue law OF Colorado, which the
supreme court yesterday viFtua ally de-
clared to be legal. He is not d e to his
friends, but is after Office only, md even
the Republicans are afraid to trust him,
fearing that he may flop again should
he be offered an Office.
For commissioner Mr.. Stevens should
be your choice ss he will give the peo-
pie liberal economical and straight
