Editor Independent: | have received
your circular inviting me to subscribe.
To me it would be worse than money
thrown away-it would aid those
who oppose what I call the truth and
that is this: the ballot has seen it's
day, and those who urge trying this
useless remedy any longer are de-
laying the cause of liberty and JUS
tice. Either the Bible or the bullet,
the sage or the soldier, either moral
and spiritual reformation or civil war.
There is no other alternative. | see no
difference between democrat and re-
publican. Bryan does well to denounce
imperialism, but when he smilingly
speaks of "our imperialist friends"
know he is their brother at heart
The recent elections show that i'm
perialist leaders can, by intimidation
and bribery, order things as they
please, and they gave democratic
gain here and there just to keep alive
the hopes of those who still have faith
in the donkey party"

dent and fearless, but when did you
ever give a hearing to one like my
self? JAMES w. FITCH.

With Fear and Trembling

Editor Independent: AS the election
is over no doubt you know the result.
We cannot mourn with those that
mourn. The victory of the republicans
in this state and county can safely be
attributed to the vile conduct OF the
democratic party in county and state
Ex- x-Governor Thomas, chairman of the
democratic state convention at Den
yer, refused even recognition of the
peoples party. We we're ignored and
tion by this man, Sir Charles Thomas.
This distinguished ex-governor had
been placed in the highest position
within the gift of the populists Of
Colorado. Senator Patterson and our
grand old ex-senator, Henry M. Teller,
both pleaded our cause. The demo-
Gratis had both members in the United
States senate; they had been elected
by the populists working in harmony
The independent., 1902-11-20

with the democrats.
The vile conduct of this man Thomas
has put the republican party in the
saddle-has turned over to the repub-
licans all the Offices of state and coun-
ty. Now let the democrats take their
medicine. We. can't mourn with those
that mourn. The populists felt deep
/ cut to the heart. To show the dem
ocrats their great mistake they gave
aid and comfort to the republicans.
Now let the dead bury their dead.
They are joined to their idols. They
let few demagogues lead them into a
deep pit. Let them work out their
own salvation with fear and trembl-

HARDYSCOLUMN

There is no reason for being sur
prised at the election of Mickey. The
Methodists are the most numerous of
any church in the state. That church
organization extends to the very from
tier. 1t is easy to communicate with
every member through the bishop,
presiding elder and preacher. What
Mr.. Mickey did for the Methodist uni
versity ought to bury the party politics
of every Methodist and it did to as
great an extend as the saloon question
buried the other side. '-
1t has been decided that the Chinese
war indemnity can be paid in their
silver money. It seems it would be
better to take it in tea and then sell
the tea for American money. If Nc
Kinley was president the silver would
undoubtedly be recoined into our mon
ey and that would be equivalent to re-
ceiving gold.
