Denver, Dec. 29.-Tales of frightful
suffering from the, cold and billiards. by
settlers in eastern Colorado were brought
to Denver last night by crews and pas
sengers Of belated trains over the Union
Pacific and Burlington.:. The settlers are
short ofxcoal. and in many instances have
resorted to corn as fuel. while others are
using hay in their stoves. Cattle are per-
ishing by hundreds, the tracks being
hedged with their remains. Along the
Back Hills Of the Burlington from Brush
through to Alliance there has been a cold
dense fog for two days, and the frost has
been an inch thick. In several instances
relief parties have found people uncon-
scious and partly frozen on the prairie,
and cowboys have been rescued nearly
frozen. Similar stories come from along
the Julesburg branch of the Union Pacific.
Near Crook a boy tried to find his way
home from his herd in the blizzard. He
lost his way. but his horse fought way
thu ough to a corral where, fortuna tely,
the ranchman was found. The boy was
unconscious and frozen to his saddle. He
was carried into the house and thawed
out but the horse died from the effects
of its heroic battle. -. H. - -,
The Colorado authorities have been ap~
pealed to to save thousands of scattered
cattle that have drifted before the biz
card and are succumbing to wolves and
thirst. = 49,. 80"

For Auditor. Horace w. Bailey.

Believing il to be one of the most
| important uses of country papers to
reflect the sentiments of their various
localities, and when man is proposed
Tor public position to give the estimate
of that locality OF his general charac-
ter and qualities essential TO meet the
requirements Of that position, we are
led TO the fact that Hon. Horace W.
Bailey of Newbury has been compar-
atively little mentioned by the press,
but much more discusse d by the people
in connection with the Office OF State
Auditor. In this section OF the State
he has been brought into intimate re-
lations with the inhabitants by having
had charge of large interests by way
of having been administrator and eX-
ecutor of wills and otherwise. The
people who know him have come to
regard him as a just, capable and
very iudicious man. The village Of
Newbury comprises a locality in which
we understand there is no resi-
dent lawyer, and for many years Mr.
Bailey has represented a large Glen
tage in almost every way except in
court and as a technical lawyer. His
experience in reference to general
b usiness, and common business invol-
wing legal considerations in general
way, has been very extensive In
the legislature his work was very
effective and skillful While there he
was always doing important work on
committees. originating as well as
dealing with legislative enterprises
During the session in which the stat
utes were revised he acted in coniunc-
ton with sub committee, although
not officially connected with it, and
discovered many times a knowledge
of statute law even beyond that OF
lawyer more engrossed in the scientific
and technical. As statistician he is
uneXcelled. His investigation of
matters is always most thorough and
searching. He regards everything
bearing upon a subject as important.
He knows the nature and bearing of
all such laws as relate to the adjust
ment of state accounts as well prob
ably as any other man in the State
This being the estimation in which he
is held in this section OF the State il
will as things look now heartily sup
port him at the next State Convention

When the liquor bin was before the
Senate of 1898, all the senators save
two went on record as voting one way
or the other. One of these two was
Gen. j. G.. Mccullough, present can
didate for governor, He was present
at the sessions Immediately before and
following. Nobody has offered any
excuse TOR his not voting on this inn
portant measure. He shirked duty
imposed upon him as a representative
OF a constituency Of the people. Every
other senator had the same iustifica-
ton for sneaking that he did, and, sup
posing they had all done SO, who
would have acted on the bill? Was he
sent to the Senate to act and to vote,
or to evade responsibility by absenting
himself at roll call Twenty-eight
senators stood to their colors and voted
like men. One, who even then had
his eye on the govenorship, flinehed,
fearing that by voting either way he
would offend some whose votes he
might need later. Is that the kind of
man Vermont wants as governor
DO we want a mere automaton,
or a positive character, in the gov
ernor's chair? And McCullough's late
announcement on the subject of
liquor legislation-what a pitiable
thing it is He was asked which he
favored, prohibition or local option.
He lodged again He said nothing as
to his own preferences, but threw the
whole responsibility on the people and
the members OF the assembly. He is
still fishing tor votes, fearful of offend
ing one side or the other. Would the
United States think of electing a man
president who declined to express his
views on the leading issues like the
tariff and finance, and who contented |
himself with saying, "Oh, let Congress
attend to them; I'll approve of any
thing il does" Contrast the square
toed declarations of Proctor and |
Clement with McCulloughs straddle, |
and say, voters of Vermont, whether
you are Tor prohibition or local option,
which better becomes a candidate for
