HON. EDWARD C. ST|NS0N, THE next
GOVERNOR OF COLORADO, SPOKE HERE.

1t was truly splendid meeting,
the democratic rally at the Park opera
house last night
1t can be said, without any desire
to equivcoate that the house was we'll
filled, not crowded to hear the next
governor of Colorado, Hon. Edward
G. Stimson, and the other speakers
of the evening. There was no band
out to jolly the crowd toward the
opera house, niether was the audience
composed of small boys apd girls 1t

belonged to the democracy or some
other party.
A remarkable thing can be stated
of the meeting, something which does
not belong to the every day political
meeting and it can be substantiated
by almost every preson who sat in the
audience-and that was that there
were less than five people left the
opera house during the entire time of
the speaking.

chairman of the meeting, introducing
the speakers.
The first speaker of the evening
was Lem Smith, prominent attorney
of Denver. Mr.. Smith is man of
large mould and a splendid speaker
He began by saying that man is
konwn by the deeds he performs. If
they are credible. he is man of
credit within his community. He
then digressed and said that party
is known by the way it kept its prom
ises. He then gave in outline what
had been promised by the democratic
party and how they had kept their
promises. He reviewed the several
constitutional amendments. He gave
particular attention to the eight-hour
law, what it would do for the work.
ing man. The employers liability
law and the revenue bill.
1t is needless to review in extenso
what the speaker said. but throughout
he spoke in high minded. conscien
tious way, without abuse to any of
the opposing parties, presenting in a
clear logical manner the reasons why
the democratic party should be en-
trusted with power.
A very telling part of his speech
The daily sentinel., 1902-10-17

was his presentation of the reasons
why Hon. Henry NJ. Teller should
be returned to the United States sem
ate. the reference to his work as a
man of might in the nation, bringing
deserved applause from the audi
ence.
In very rapid way he then re-
ferred in a short eulogy to each of the
state candidates, ending in splendid
eulogy of the democratic candidate for
governor, Hon. E. @. Stimson
Mr.. Smith pleased his audience
greatly and it can be said of him
that he is a very logical speaker, cas-
lily followed in his arguments and de-
ductions and man who wants to win
Il fight on the credit of his own candi-
dates, rather than from the abuse of
the opposition.
Hon. Harry E. Insley. candidate
for state treasurer was then intro
duced. Mr.. Insley hardly spoke over
three minutes, but in that time he
convinced his audience that he was a
man of parts, even though he was
not public speaker. He humorous
ly told of what he imagined the feel
ings of an audience was at political
gathering, where they were expected
to hear some brilliant orator and some
one who could not speak had to be
sandwiched in as a filler. He said
he was one of those persons and he
would not tire his audience in at. :.
tempting to make speech when he
knew he couldn't.
The speaker, whom the audience
was most interested in hearing, the
democratic candidate for governor
was then introduced. Mr. Stimson
was suffering from miserable cold.
When he started to speak his voice
was not much louder than whisper.
However. when he warmed to his
subject his voice grew better, although
he must have suffered great deal
while speaking.
The democratic candidate is Il whirl-
wind speaker If he had been in good
voice his speech would have been one
of the most remarkable political
efforts ever heard in the Park opera
house. Judge Stimson does not de-
scend to abuse of his opponents to win
favor, he is too large man in the

ALI interest today in the Seiber
murder trial. centered in the testi-
mony of Harris, who is charged with
the crime.
Yesterday afternoon number of
Harris friends and neighbors were
placed on the stand to testify to the
general good character of Harris. The
first witness this morning was Joe
Harris. The crowd which was in the
court room waited with the most
breathless interest upon every word he
said.
He was quizzed by Counsel Goudy
for the defense up until the time he
left Seiber in the pasture of the Sci
ber cattle company, after riding with
him for some distance. From this
point he told his story without ques-
tioning, without any dramatic feat
ures about it. but in the most COM
mon place way.
He asid that he resided at West
water and that he had worked out
occasionally to help obtain money
sufficient to improve his ranch.
He had worked for the Webster
City cattle company and had worked
one time for the Seiber Cattle COM
pany. He had held various official
positions, among them being school
director and deputy sheriff of Grand
county, Utah. Certificates of ap-
pointment were placed in evidence
from Frank Schaeffer of Grand coun-
ty, Utah. that he had been deputy
sheriff Some one had voted for him
for constable, but he had never quail
fled. He was in the employ of the
Seiber Cattle company from February
1st up until the 9th of August, four
years ago.
He had met Mr.. Seiber eight years
ago. He was we'll acquainted with
Jim Jones, didn't know Dunnan very

spoken to him. The Seiber Cattle
company ranged their cattle on Pinon

paign methods. He spoke with re-
gard for his political opponents and
treated of affairs rather than of men
He addressed himself particularly
to the part which the Thirteenth
General Assembly had taken in the
affairs of the state. He gave reas
ons, not generalities why the demo-
cratic party had done much for the
state at large. He referred particular
ly to the revenue bill. He said that
Judge Walter Dickson. of the repuli-
can party had denounced everything
that was done by the assembly, and
yet in referring to the revenue bill,

Hon. Mr.. Whetmore, the president
of the American Bar association, at
the time it held it's convention in
Denver had gone out of the way,
there being no campaign on at the
time and had said it was one of the

laws enacted by any !. state in the
Union.
His language was splendid andIhis
thoughts of high order when he re-
ferred to the Declaration oflIndepend-
ence and how its precepts and its ex-
amples had been followed for many
years and how now at the behest of
the monied oligarchy, its teachings
were torn and disobeyed.
His reference to the part Senator
Teller played in the freeing of Cuba,
was fine piece of oratory and held
his audience spell bound.
Altogether the meeting was good
one. The speakers taught some of
the lukewarm democrats and quite
number of the republicans that the
national democratic party was the
party of the people. 1t was the party
that, Abraham Lincoln. if he were

n any one MINK that in the rush for
gain and prominence. the young Virgin
ian has forgotten the traditions of his
forefathers and is no longer the creature
of the family pride that his parents were,
he is liable to claim too much and be mis-
taken.
The young Virginian IS succeeding.
There is no question about that.
But the old home and the old days be-
fore the war are not forgotten.
And there has been a quiet movement
in this State and in the entire South. to
rebuild the Country into a semblhnce OF
its grandeur before the Devastation.
All know how at the time Of the war
many Of the hnndsomest places in the
State were dismantled by Northern Sol
diers. residences were burned, and rich
plantations made almost a wilderness. All
know, too. how in order to build these
places UP the ruined soldier often bor-
rowed money and mortgaged them.
Many of them had to be sold for debt
and in one way and another passed out
the hands of the original owners. For
q generation and more, some of them
have remained in the hands OF strangers
but they are gradually being bought
back by the prospecting children.
Every day or so one reads Of how some
young man who has been successful in
his business, has succeeded in buying In
his ancestral home and was going to re-
store II to its former and even greater
beauty. His father or his grandfather
had to part with it, but times are better
with him and he will get possession of 1t
and keep 1t in the family. His ancestors
FOR several generations are buried there
in the family burying ground and 1t
makes him restless for the careless

cred dust

STEAM COAL SUPPLY
1t is Also Short, and Superintendent
Knowles is Getting Uneasy.


It now looks as ii there is going to be
tioublc in getting the steam coal which
is used by the manufacturing plants. AS
1cr anthracite coal. there is only some
., 90 tons in the city, and this Is selling
n. 81 !; ton.
But Superintendent Knowles, OF the
/ ght Department of the city, stated to
the Light Committee Friday night that
he was very much afraid he would be
compelled to go to Baltimore after coal
with which to manufacture gas for the
/, Sc of the people of Richmond.
The Light Department had coal con-
tact with the Chesapeake and Ohio
Coal Agency for the supply of the gas
plant for the year, but since the strike
in the anthracite regions the market has
become SO much affected as to make 1t
impossib!e for this concern to abide by
the contract and furnish gas coal at
the figure agreed upon in the bid. For
tunately for Them there is in the con-
tract strike clause. which protects
them in the present emergency.
Other manufacturing houses are ex-
periencing the same trouble that con-
fronts the gas works, and it may be
truly stated that the coal situation is at
present in a deplorable condition and
can be relieved only by compromise
of the strike in the anthracite regions.
