The time for receiving bids for the To-
cation Of the now post Office site expired

vertisement brought forth six bids.

AN UNJUST ATTACK.

doubt IN our mlnQ Whatever THAT
Mr.. Cox honestly endeavored to
secure some one to finance fac
tory for Loveland. That he failed
was not his fault we feel assured.
The papers unitedly called Mr.. Cox
unbecoming names and to our lim>
tied judgment are using the cow
ardly weapon OF blackmail, in at
tempting to decry the effort he is
making to establish factories at
other points.
What Loveland gave in the ma
ture OF provisional contracts to MIR.
Cox to secure finances to build the
factory was nothing more than was
given him when he promoted the
Grand Junction factory. For what
he did for Loveland he doubtless
received nothing and it i'll becomes
the press OF that town to act as
knockers" on any other enterprise
which Mr.. Cox is endeavoring to
promote.
Furthermore, while net the
champion Of Mr.. Cox in any par>
ticular, in fact disagreeing with him
upon many things and condemning
some of his schemes as impracti>
cable, we believe in giving the
Devil his dues, whoever the devil
may be.
To Mr.. Cox's promotive genius
and tireless energy must be given
the credit of establishing the first
factory for the manufacture of sugar
in Colorado. Certainly Grand
Junction would never have had the
factory had it not have been for
Mr.. Cox. He was ridiculed, re.
buffed and told he was fool for
his pains in attempting to promote
a half million dollar untried enters
prise. He succeeded and laid the
ground plans for the future Of the
industry in Colorado.
The same men who are building
the Loveland factory were first in
terested, nay almost dragged into
listening to arguments and finally
building the plant in this city. Five
years OF experimenting and study
preceded his successful inaugura>
ton OF Colorado's first sugar plant
Surely Loveland still owes some
thing to Mr.. Cox in attracting at
tention to that town as place
practicable for engaging in the
the great industry, if for nothing
else. Mr.. Cox talked Loveland to
them as a place we'll adapted tor
the location of sugar factory. In
fact, the very men who are now
building the Loveland factory are
the men whom Mr.. secured and
in building their factory have sim
ply taken up the detail work se>
cured by Mr.. Cox's efforts.
Mr.. Cox's management Of the
factory here was handicapped the
first year, his record the second
year. it is claimed by experts was
most excellent.
In our judgment the articles in
the Loveland Reporter and Regis
ter were unfair. From our knowl-
edge of Mr.. Thorndyke's eminent
fairness we believe he cannot have
the whole situation. In
this city Mr.. Cox's ability as pro-
moter has not suffered in the least,
even though the last years mans
agemept did not suit his employ
ers. He failed where it is possible

THE HISTORY OF THE REVOLT
TIONARY BODY.

THE Constitutional Convention which
is now in session III this city is indeed n
remarkable body. 1t was convened as a
result of deception!by which a voter
who did not vote for or against the call
ing of the constitutional convention in
voluntarily voted for it.
The avowed purpose of this body was
to disfranchise all of the colored citizens
without taking from any white man his
right TO vote.
In the meantime, the mandate went
forth that the people most interested
the colored people-should be denied
representation. They were not permit
ted TO come as delegates from any cour-
ty in the state, and thus in the forum,
where their rights are to be sacrificed,
grave.
That this was unjust, that it was ur-
precedented in this state, that it was the
browning act of injustice of all of
these years, no fair-minded man will
deny.
But the most surprising part of the
whole business was the action of the
Constitutional Convention itself. Hav-
ing been called under the old constitu-
tion, it threw off ali restraints by de-
Ginning TO require the members TO take
the oath of office. The effect of taking
this oath would have been primarily TO
cause all of the judges, senator's and
other officials to either retire from the
convention or yield the offices which
they held.
The feature of the whole affair is the
disposition to nullify and override the
14th and 10Th Amendments to the Con-
stitution of the United States and the
disregard of the compact entered into
with the national government, by which
Virginia was readmitted into the union.
1t is safe to say that no constitution
will be lasting which has race prejudice
for it's foundation stone and class legis-
lation for its temporary support. To
build for the present only is to make
trouble for future generations.
History has its lessons and students of
it should be guided thereby. 1t is i'm
possible to permanently check the pro-
gress of the colored people by vicious
legislation even though it is engrafted
in the constitution of the common
wealth.
No representative upon the floor of
the Constitutional Convention has call
ed for the statistics bearing upon the
progress of the citizen of color as pro-
Queer. They dare not call for it.
Still, it is an undeniable fact that in
eleven southern states the colored PEG.
