never has and never will received returns. Show
the people that the military power of the has
arrayed itself in open antagonism to the people
who form the basis of all wealth-the men who
work in the mines and mills and represent twin
force with capital. There is no reason why the
Republicans should resort to abuse-let the figures
furnished by the fusion servants of the people tell
their own story.
A well known Democrat accused the other
day of abusing Representative Barney O'Connel
/ have not abused him. l have stated in these
columns time and time again that personally he
all right but that he out of gear politically.
This statement still holds good. I admire Mr..
O'Connell in many ways. believe he is a royal
good fellow personally and should think that as
friend he would be good one. His home life is
lovable. He is of a kind disposition. One can
have a heart to heart talk with Mr.. O'Connell and
feel that he has talked to a who has every
good quality in his make up. But this does not
imply that he is right politically. 1t does deny
the fact that his preudIces strong politically
that he is forgetful of others who may be bereaved
and in sorrow as the Anglo-Americans were the
occasion of the death of their beloved ruler It
does not mean that Mr.. O'Conntll did not hesitate
to aid in fastening the infamous reuenue bill upon
the county. 1t does not mean but what he repre-

pany might prove mighty good Barney but Mr.
O'Connell in bad company is just like any other
man in bad company-he must be measured by
the company he keeps.

w. J. Arnold, of Georgetown, made good pre-
siding officer 1T the convention. He was eminently
fair and a gentleman who understood his business
as parlimentarian. Two or three difficult propo-
sitions arose but he equal to the task on every
occasion. His methods mild but effective and
the people were well pleased to see Georgetown
represented and SO well represented. DIR. H. c.
Haeseler was the secretary and he is a Georgetown
man and as loyal Republican can find in
the state. am inclined to believe that both Mr..
Arnold and the doctor are in line for something
good in the countyan they certainly deserving
.S.s.S
E. M Sabin has more strength in a convention
than the entire Denver police force. He wins his
battles in different manner. With the smooth
diplomatic way of the trained politician Mr.. Sabin
commands respect. He is liberal lively and man
who presents his arguments so conclusively that
conviction is carried with every word. Mr. Sabin
will make excellent chairman for the county
central committee because he is good work er and
understands his business. With Mr.. Graham as
secretary the campaign should be one that will
show the results of organization. Both gentlemen
well acquainted in the county. They are rep
resentatves of the entire party and are loyal to
every interest of the organization The people in
various parts of the county should see that the
committee is kept informed on matters pertaining
to the interests OF the party in the campaign.
Both gentlemen will appreciate any help extended
and this is of the years when every Republican
should constitute himself an active and tirelese
committee of one
w. A. Haggott is the rapid calculator and man
who understands every move made and is ready to-
meet it. He says little and accomplishes great
deal. After the convention was over Mr. Hapeott
roundly congratulated by the outside dele
gates and his numerous friends in the city. He is
a good organizer and who will exert an ex-
cellent influence in the campaign. Whenever ad-
vice was desired on proposition Mr.. Haggott was
always sought and succeeded IN furnishing the
kind that gave best results for the convention and
for the party.
John Trathen, mayor of Idaho Springs, was
another loyal little fighter and man who is will
ing to abide by the will of the majority This is
the character of Republicans that make party
and bring party success

S. A. Noyes, the retiring chairman was the re-
cipient of all kinds of party honors and coneratu-
latons for the good work he had accomplished in
the last campaign. 1t was one of the best conyen-
tions taken all round, that has been held in the
county for years. The contest for supremacy be-
tween the two delegations in this city was settled
unanimously by the committee so that even ma
