successful known to the state.

self to be possessed of sturdy CONS
mon sense and business capacity.
Before being inducted into Office he
has made it his business to person
ally visit and inspect the various
state institutions. He has not tak>
en- the word of someone else to
measure their condition and needs,
but has attended to the matter
himself.
Mr.. Orman likewise shows good
taste and practical ability in dealing
with the senatorial situation. He
has promised to eep out Of it and
not allow its influence to prejudice
him in the matter OF appointments,
which is the honorable course, all
will admit. 1t may be said author
itatively that Mr.. Orman is going
to be governor from the start to
the finish. This is already gener>
ally recognized by a certain class
Of politicians, lobbyists and profess
sional corruptionists which is ever
in evidence. These gentry find in
Mr.. Orman about the toughest
proposition they have yet encoun>
tered. The methods used by Mr..
Orman in repelling them are ex>
tremely simple. They are a de-
termination to do right, invincible
honesty. sound business judgment
and sterling common sense.
The people of Colorado are for
tunate in having such man to
pilot the states destinies the next
two years. A governor with backs
bone and sans deceit has been need
ed for about two years past.

BRYAN AND CLEVELAND.

Grover Cleveland ana WilllaHl
Jennings Bryan have made their
pronouncements as to the past,
present and future of the democrats
ic party. The views are probably
as unlike as it is possible for any>
thing to be. Yet both call them
selves democrats.
Mr.. Cleveland charges that the
democratic party has drawn away
from the rank and file and that the
organization is marshaled by false
leaders. By implication Bryan de>
mocracy is made out to be mere
populism and its teachings hereti>
cal and un-democratic and utterly
at variance with the foundation
principles of the party OF Jefferson
and Jackson.
The man who has discovered the
democratic party Of today SO far
aheld was twice honored with the
the highest gift of the nation. He
was the first president in the history
of our country who went into that
office pauper retormer and came
out a millionaire bondholder. He
was the only president of the Uni>
ted States, if And. ew Johnson be
excepted, whose own party abso-
lutely discredited him. And An
drew Johnson was an honest, il
misguided, man; while Cleveland is
known to have been both misguid-
ed and flagrantly dishonest.
With the weight Of dishonor up
on him, the consort OF plutocracy,
Pariah in the sight of honest dem
ocracy, this man has yet the hardi>
hood to speak as an authority of
and for democracy. He is yet will
ing to become Moses to led the
party out of the wilderness. His
invaluable services may only be
had, however, by the absolute and
final overthrow of Organism and
all that savors thereof
Mr.. Clevelands message should
be respectfully referred to the man>
ayers of the republican party. If
they want him they may have him,
if they do not already own him.
The principles, or lack OF principles,
he seeks to enunciate are all their
own, and why not keep them where
they belong?
On the other hand, Mr.. Bryan's
words strike the democratic ear
clear as bugle call A great living
principle is not the less principle
because it meets with temporary
defeat. The religion OF Christ was
planted in stony soil and watered
with the blood of martyrs, yet its
branches extend over earth and sea
and will live while time endures
because sprung from the seed of
truth.
Thus the democracy of Cleveland
cannot in the nature of things ever
prevail. 1t has not within itself the
kernel Of true democracy. If not
republicanism pure and simple, it is

last week, they, with the exception of
several counties which We're not pres
ent, increased the assessment in their
several counties over 1900 about $780,
100000, making the grand total in
crease for the state, in round numbers,
minus the counties not heard from,
$3.50, 100000.
A 4-mill levy on that sum, will yield
an increased revenue for next year Of
100000. If that sum is realized for
three years, in excess of the average
revenue, Secretary Gray says that Col
orado will be out of debt.
Speaking Of how the board Of asses,
sors did their work, Assessor Link
said:
THE corporations, with the exception
of a few small companies, refused to
furnish data or Information of any
kind or nature whatsoever to guide the
board OF assessors in placing their val
ues on corporation property, so the
board completed their assessments
from best information obtainable. In
fixing the values the board considered
the values of tangible property owned
by the several corporations such as
rolling stock, improvements, trackbed,
etc, and also the market value Of
bonds and stock and the value Of spe-
cial privileges and franchises"
This year four express companies,
Wells Fargo, Adams, United States
and Pacific, which have never before
paid taxes in Colorado on their fran
chises, will contribute to the excheQuer
the levy on 81, 500, 600 which the board
includes in its assessment returns A
new railroad was added to the regular
list being the Rio Grande & Pagosa
Springs. which is assessed at S105, 600
The following telephone companies,
which have not been assessed, were
caught by the assessors: Greeley Inde-
pendent Telephone Company, $1,000;
Buena Vista Telephone Company. $2,-
OOO; Citizens Telephone Company Of
Las Animas, $50; and the Salida Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company, $s,-
050
The big railroad companies assess
ments were increased several hundred
per cent. over 1900 figures, the most
notable increases being:
Santa Fe. from 100000 to $4,000
600: Rock Island. from 81. .OOO. 600 to 81
