The Grit-advocate., 1901-10-18
Withdrew His Support.

We presume that a certain well
known business man of Julesburg will
be greatly surprised when he learns
that we are able to continue the publ
cation of our paper. His surprise will
probably continue as the weeks follow
each other and he finds that The Grit
Advocate is still being published at
the old stand and with its accustomed
regularity. All this, too. in spite of
the fact that the said well known bust
ness man has withdrawn his financial
support from the paper, and will here
after borrow his neighbors paper in
order that he may learn whether or
not it contains any unfriendly illusions
to his pet hobby-the democratic party
of Sedgwck county.
The financial support of the afore
said well known business man has
amounted in the past to about s.. 90
per year-three yearly subscriptions to
the paper, and one job of dodgers an
nouncing an annual ''closing OUT sale.
While the losing OF this large amount
of business is quite serious, we feel
confident that the paper can recover
from the shOck-at least it will not be
forced to suspend publication because

When the above mentioned well

sanctum Wednesday morEing, called
fer statement of his account. paid it
in full and received our receipt, We
did not inquire his reasons for sever
ing business ties with us. We thought
we knew the reasons for his actions.
We had learned from our assistant in
the office that the we'll known business
mans ire had been aroused by an item
in last weeks paper relative to the
personnel of the democratic ticket,
and ai4at he contemplated some such
action as that of Wednesday morning.
We therefore pocketed the 1926 ten
dercd US by the well known business
man and permitted him to leave the
Office before Il full realization of onr
We have now fully regained our facul-
ties, and are gradually becoming ac-
customed to the forlorn condition uc-
casiOned by the loss of the well known
business mans support. and we take
pleasure in assuring him that we shall
continue to publish the paper as here
tofore. advocating the principles of the
republican party and working strcnu-
Ously for the success of that party.
Moreover, We will wager our office
towel against the best suit of clothes
in the well known business mans shOp
that he continues to read the paper
even if he does have to borrow one
from his neighb,r.
Furthermore, we would advise this
well known business man to take meas
ures to grow a thicker epidermis or

and he will make an efficient and very
acceptable official. His election is a
certainty.
G.. M. Harris, the next treasurer OF
Sedgwick county, is making a thor
ough canvass of the county. He is well
pleased with the manner in which the
people receive his candidacy, and he
has no fear Of defeat at the polls. Mr..
Harris is pleasant gentleman to meet
and makes friends wherever he goes.
He is thoroughly equipped for the of.
gee to which he aspires and when
elected he will enter upon the duties
of the Office with the full confidence of
the people in his proficiency and bust
ness integrity.
S. H. Carlson, candidate for assessor
on the republican ticket, is making an
energetic canvass for votes, and can.
vass that will without doubt prove
successful. Mr.. Carlson is IA tirst-class
accountant, a good penman and the
books of his office will be accurate and
will present neat appearance. He is
man Of splendid judgement. an un-
tiring worker and he is eXcellently
suited for the important Office to which
he aspires. He will receive hand
some ma ajor:ty at the polls on Novem

The nomination Of Smith Frey by the
republican party for the office of coun
ty Judge is a good one. Mr. Fry is pos
sessed of the requisite legal knowl
edge; his stock of common sense anC
tact-two very important things in 6
judicial ot1icer-iS large and he will fiji
the flee to which he will be elected on
the first Tuesday in November
with honor to himself and justice tc
all. Mr.. Frey is a staunch repub
lican of unblemished character anC
his name on the ticket adds donsder
able strength to an invincible ticket.
The withdrawal of J. Drake from

the republican candidate is easily
able to defeat any candidate they
might name.
The selections of candidates for the
minor offices on the republican ticke
were good ones. A. G. Cornish, candi
date for coroner, is a veteran of the
civil war and has always been staunct
supporter of the principles of the re
publican party-principles for which
he fought in 1861. L. r. Liddle, can
didatc for surveyor, is pioneer OF
Sedgwick county and is now one of the
county's most substantial citizens

SOME POLITICAL POINTERS.
An Editorial Review of the POlitica al
Situation in Scdgwick County.

Prof. G. Il. Parker, the present in
cumbent, was nominated last Satur-
day for the Office of county superin-
tendent of schools by the committee
appointed for that purpose BY the re-
publican county conventions. The nom
ination was made after the claims of
other candidates for the place had
been duly considered and their gener-
al availability and fitness had been
thoroughly canvassed. Prof. Parker
was considered the strongest candi-
date that could be named, and his
competency for the place is unchal-
lenged. The schools of Sedgwick
county under his efficient management
take first rank among the public
schools of Colorado, and they are the
pride of every citizen Of the county.
This excellent supervision of our
schools will be continued for another
period of two years by the re election
of Prof. Parker on November ).
In our last weeks issue appeared an
announcement of the withdrawal OF
Il. w. Acklin from the democratic
ticket. This withdrawal was made
necessary, as stated, by the fact that
Mr.. Acklin had not been a resident OF
Colorado long enough to entitle him tc
full citizenship. 1t is probably good
thing for Mr.. Acklin that he was fore,
ed to withdraw. Even il he had been
eligible and had made the race fol
county clerk his election would have
been an impossibility. H. G. McNew
the republican candidate and present
incumbent of the office, is certain OF
reelection. The democrats realize
that McNew is iuvincible, hence they
will probably not go to the trouble OF
filling the vacancy created by tile
forced withdrawal of Acklin.
We understand taat a certain can
didate on the democratic ticket is ask
ing for votes from republicans on the
strength of the fact that he was at one
time republican himself, and is SO
now at heart, but that the republicans
would not give him an office and con
seuuently Ito satisfy his craving for po
litical preferment) he was forced tc
accent n nomination at the hands OF
the democrats. This plea is not likely
to strengthen the candidates chances
for election. The fact that he admits
he is with them solely because they
offered him a chance to run for office
will not cause the democrats to work
very hard for his success. Neither
will his desertion of the republican
party, and his statement of his reas
ons therefor, give him any republican
votes. Already the candidates defeat
is certain.
P. B. Upson is eminently qualified
for the office of county commissioner
to which he will be elected by large
majority on the first Tuesday in No
yember. The republicans could not
have nominated a stronger candidate
nor a man vino will serve the interests
of the people more faithfully. The
office of commissioner is probably the
most important Office in the county
and it should be filled by men of recog
nized ability and unquestioned bust
ness integrity. To do this has always
been the rule Of the republican party
of Sedgwick county, and the party fol

ma, due to arrive here at II O'Clock had
not arrived up to the time Of the filing
of this message. Telegraphic communi-
cation between here and Panama is in
terrupted. This is conclusive proof that
fighting is going on in the vicinity of
Barbacoa. The result is as yet un-
known. The afternoon passenger trains
from here for Panama carried the hun
dred marines from the Iowa and the
passengers who arrived by the steamer
Orizaba with marine guard on board,
has just arrived here. The train brings
news to the effect that General Alban
with about 800 Government troops has
crossed Barbacoa bridge and is continu-
ing his march to Colon. He is now at
Tayernilla where he is resting. The
Liberal forces continue to retreat before
him. They explain their retreat by say
ing they have no ammunition. All of the
fighting today occurred at Barbacoa
Bridge. Passengers by the delayed train
assert that fully 100 Conservatives were
killed or wounded during the fight there
and that the Liberal losses were insight
ficant. The Liberals are now approach
ing Gatun Station, about five miles from
Colon, and it is believed a decisive en-
gagement will probably be fought tonight
or tomorrow night at Monkey Hill Gene
terry, one mile from the limits of Colon
The trains which left here this after
noon for Panama with the Iowa marines
and the passengers from the steamer
Orizaba were delayed in transit, but
reached Panama safely.
Reports current here that the Gen.
Pinzon has bombarded Porto Bello,
have been found to be unreliable and un-
authentic.

Earlier Operations on Isthmus.

Colon, Nov. 26.-The Colombian gun
boat Gen. PinZon reappeared in Colon
harbor this morning. Her commander
said there were only one hundred men
out of the original six hundred troops
carried by the vessel now on board the
gunboat. The others had been landed
at Porto Bello, about ten miles distant
from Coon. The presumption is that the
five hundred men are marching overland
to join the Government forces under
Gen. Alban, now at Mamei. The ground
they have to cover is difficult and the
troops will doubtless occupy a few days
in reaching their destination.
The Panama railroad steamer Orizaba,
from New York, November 49, arrived
at Colon this moning. having on board
100 marines who are to relieve the time
expired men of the United tates battle
ship Iowa, now at Panama. The marines
were embarked on board a train and
We're taken to Panama.
The Liberal forces control San Pablo
Station and Barbacoa, where there is a
long iron bridge over the Chagres river.
This is a critical point, Offering the Lib
erals splendid point of attack should
the Government forces attempt to cross
the bridge. 1t is generally admitted
that if Gen. Alban succeeds in crossing
the river at Barbacoa his march toward
Colon will be an easy task. Gen. Lugo,
the Liberal commander, is at Barbacoa.
The Liberals retreated from Emperador
owing to lack OF ammunition. They ad-
NIT having lost sixty men killed and
wounded at Emperador, and that among
the number was Colonel Oyas, but they
claim that the Government loss was over
$50 men in killed and wounded.
The larmored train which went over
the railroad yesterday having on board
Captain Perry, of the Iowa, and machine
guns and flying the American flag was
sent as a demonstrative force and will
not be continued daily. Passenger trains,
however, will still carry a guard.
Transit across the Isthmus is open.

action. At a late hour tonight nothing
