OF registration. There were more al.
legged voters registered in two pre-
cincts Saturday night than there are
real voters there. They put them on
the list and registered them from al
legged homes where there are only va
cant lots. They put on twenty-eight
men from one livery stable, where
only three men can by any interpre-
ton OF the law claim a residence. In
other precincts, they did not even take
the trouble to carry the repeaters
around and register them in person;
they just supplied list of the names
and alleged residences to the Demo
cratic registry clerks, and they put
them on the lists.
This is the sort of thing the Demo
Gratis are relying on to carry the elec-
ton.
There is just one man who could stop
the whole thing if he would. That
man is Alva Adams, the truly good
he of the seraphic smile and the but
ter that never melts in his mouth.
The fire and police board was con
stituted by Governor Orman in the
Adams interest. Frank Adams was
made chairman of ii. Under his di-
rection these crimes were committed.
and they are committed especially for
the use and behoof of the perpetual
candidate. who cannot possibly get
elected to congress unless votes
enough can be stolen for him in Den
yer to overcome the Republican ma
iority in the rest of the state.
Alva Adams claims to be better than
his party; he appeals for Republican
votes on the ground of his respectable
ity; and yet he is the one person re-
sponsihle for the worst political cor
ruption ever known in Colorado the
instigator and the beneficiary of
frauds which are hardly conceivable

COLORADO VS.. ADAMS.

It is pretty evident that the State
of Colorado will go to Denver this fall
with a Republican majority. The sole
hope of the Democrats lies in carrying
Arapahoe county, and their sole hope
in carrying Arapahoe county in frau
dulent voting, under the auspices oil
the FIRE and police board.
During the past week several thous-
and fictitious names have been regis
tered in Denver, largely in the slum
districts below Larimer street. The
police and the flremen have neglected
the duties which they are paid to
perform, and spent their time in run
ming in hordes of thugs and hoboes
and disreputatble women to the places

was being done and it looks as though
the good people will have to take the
law into their own hands as every
particle of machinery is under the CON
troll of the corrupt element and Frank
Adams is at the head. To think that
a man like Adams Is permitted to

lad they only do his bidding because
they are compelled to do so or lose

losing their positions in case OF

There is general feeling of dis
gust among Democratic voters over
the frauds committed in Arapahoe
county and hundreds throughout the
state will go back on their ticket for

Camp Lomax, United Confederate Vet erans, will hold call meeting Monday night to make complete arrangements for the entertainment of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee and to complete the detail work for the night of the 9th of April, when General Lee will lecture at the Auditorium
 At the Monday night meeting. commit tees will be appointed and all the work attendant upon the successful handling of the large crowd at the Auditorium will be mapped out. The members Of the camp are confidently expecting large attendance. The sale of tickets to the lecture has been very gratifying. The officers of the camp are daily receiving letters from neighboring towns and cities announcing the expected attendance of parties from those places. The unusually low rate granted by the railroad will bring great number of visitors to Mont gomery to hear so distinguished a speaker as General Lee.
 The General recently delivered his lec- ture in Chicago at the immense Audito- rum of that city. This building, the largest theatre in the world, was filled with 1000 people. The audience was en- thusiastic and the occasion was a suc- cess in every particular. General Lee de- EcItbed his personal experience in Ha-. vana as Consul-General to the Island of Cuba. just before the outbreak of the Spanish-American war. He told Of the trials and difficulties of the officials of the United States in the exciting days that preceded hostilities. General Lee spoke Interestingly on military affairs and American history. His audience gave him close attention and frequent applause.

THE PLANT SYSTEM.
And Its Reported Sale to the Allan
 tic Coast Line.


 The Savannah News of yesterday says:
 For several months there have been in- timations that the Southern Hallway was seeking the control of the Plant Sys- tenn, and there have been intimations also that the Atlantic Coast Line wanted it.
 The New Pork and Baltimore papers of Wednesday printed reports that the Coast Line had secured a controlling in- terest in the Plant System. The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday stated that 1t had positive information to that effect The Associated Press was unable, how ever. to verify the report in New York. and stated that nothing was obtainable in Baltimore to show any such deal.
 Officials of the Plant System in Savan- nah, the headquarters of the company. are completely in the dark. None of them. so far as can be learned, knows anything about 1t.
 General Superintendent Denham was asked about the report. 'I do not know a thing about it,\ he replied No one, has said anything to me to lead me to believe that there has been such deal.
 If such a plan were contemplated. would you have known about it"' he was asked.
 T do not know whether I would or not l might have been told. and I might ''V At the office of Mir. w. l.. Clay, Gen eral Counsel for the Plant System, noth- ing was known about the sale. Mr. Clay left Tuesday for New York at the request of President Erwin.
 No change in traffic arrangements be- cause of the deal. if it has been made. is looked for in Savannah. One railroad man said that the relations between the Plant System. when under the control of the Atlantic Coast Line. and the Southern would be just as amicable as they have been heretofore. In fact, he said, they would be more so. for the Southern has not been altogether pleased with.its treat ment by the Plant System. It is said that the Southern has complained that the Coast Line has been favored more than the Southern by the Plant System in the operation of the through trains between the North and Florida.
 The Plant System mas been handling through trains for both the Coast Line and the Southern. receiving the former at Carleston and the latter at Savannah and carrying them through to Florida. When 1t became question of favoring one or the ether. the Southern claimed that the Coast Line always got the better of it from the Plant system. It Is un- dersteod that under the new arrange ment, assuming that deal has been made the Southern will get into Florida Ion terms of it's own making.
