him up in the following fashion in

MIR Hall is tall, lanky gentleman
with a retreating forehead, dronpy
black moustache and shoe-button
eyes; he possesses also an oleaginou-
suanner, aud record 1t is the rec
ord that makes the difference.
And now comes the Reverend, the
grave and Reverend c. j. Hall. Mr..
Hall finds equal suffrage failure.
ale is disappointed and chsgrinned'
over the results. lie thinks the pur-
rhaseable vote has been doubled at
the same time that the other vote has
lseen more than doubled and be fears
that it has lowered the moral stand

state
Possibly Mr.. Hall is sincere in his
views possibly he is talking for pay,
Out before giving eredence to his re-
marks and accepting them as the last
word on this question it il well TO
know exactly what manner of man
he is. The worst thing | know about
the women of Colorado is that owing
10 their forbearance this man has
been permitted to hold respectable
place in this community, and TO 90
east to make money by villifying the
state that supports him, and the wo-
snen who contribute to his i'll
deserved salary.
Mr.. Hall is English, quite English.
