II DcuNcI, SOlO.
Editor of the Bystander.-Special:
! wish to write to many friends for
whom 1 have profound respect. Leav-
ing Des Moines last December, arriv-
ing in Denver the 18th of the same
month, I found the climate very con-
genial and healthful, the air pure and
delightful and the people kind and
hospitable. One can stand upon the
dome Of the capitol and look out
upon the snow-capped mountain of
Pixies Peak. At first 1 was quite
lonely. thinking of my many friends
that / had left behind. After being
here awhile / have met and made new
friends. But l can never forget those
of you to whom / was SO closely re-
lated. / am pleased to see that many
of the colored people have launched
out into business for themselves.
Many enterprises are springing up.
The schools and churches are doing
great work for the cause of the hui
man family. This is state of educa-
ton. The schools of mines, law, med
icine, pharmacy, business, common
of education. Since coming to Den
yer 1 have taken better half and
have nothing to regret. My little
daughter Myrtle and little boy An
drew are still living with me and like
here well. The public schools closed
last week with much success. Several
colored young men and women grad
uated. The population of of Denver
is 100000. The women suffrage in
politics is much felt in our city, state
and national elections. l believe in
woman suffrage. l never understood
it before coming to Colorado. We
also have an orphan and old folks
home. What noble cause this is?
/ was sad to hear that many of my
dear friends have parted this life,
but while it is our loss I hope it is
heavens gain. Yours truly,

his wife, a white woman originally

BAD BEGINNING.
The article starts out with q
good word for the Alliance, stat
ing that in these days of organs
cations and trusts we believe tho
farmers should bs organized in
some way or other in order to
hold thtir own, and the editor
seems much pleased with efforts
now being put forth to ~eorganize
our noble order. And then states
that everybody agrees that politics
was the cause. of the downfall of
the Alliance and that it seems
very strange that they should al
low this agent of discord and de-
structiOn to attend their very first
efforts. He then gives the writer
credit for being one of the prime
movers in this laudable effort at
Reorganization, and then goes on
to critlcise my announcement as
a candidate for re election to the
office of public cotton weigher,
which contains the following SEN
