i"Political tIucksters. y

In. her own incisive way, Polly
pry,| in II recent issue Of her lively
weekly, touches up some politicians
and political moves as follows:
',The political hucksrers are again
in the field with their plates up, their
mitts out, their banners flying and
their slogan sounding. That mori-
bund Institution once known as the
Populist party celebrated it's last mass
in this city on Monday, and brought
TO the fore. as its proper aud suitable,
Representative NJ i. Frank Overs, who
resides in Denver, and tantalizes the
lawyers and people OF the mountain
districts with his manifold idiosyn-
crasies and judicial perversiops.
Owers.t ~ Worthy Of the party and the
party is worthy of Owers-together
they make q combination that would
ruin any state in the world.
Everyone acquainted with last
years political campaign knows the
part played by Overs as chief assis-
tsnt to Farley in eiecting Peabody
to the gubernatoria Office. The cam
paign was triangular in form-Tar-
ley represented the base and Dave
Coates and Frank Overs the side
lines. Coates ran the Socialists,
Overs the Adullamites while Doth
sides worked for the success of the
Republicans. The night The retItrns
of the election came in Overs was
seated at the righthand Of Farley Mt
the Republican headquarters, and, III
all the crowd. no one was more jubi-
liant than this political Dalggtty.
Having injured the bar ia his own
district, he now seeks Il larger field
in which to display his singular
powers and qualifications. From the
state he has been receiving 5000 a
year, and probably spends not to en-
ceed ninety days in his district. The
peopla. doubtless, would fare better
If he absenfed himself altogether
He is a ready political bargainer, and
thus far all efforts TO disloige him
from the position he has long since
forfeited have failed. His present
campaign is purely and solely in the
interest Of Judge Campbell. This
must seem marvellous to the nniniti-
ated, but it is the plain truth.
Can the Republican party tong en-
jure these alliances? is not that or
ganization rapidly approaching the
danger line? 1t may succeed in re-
electing Campbell by these unhal-
lowed means, but Will it strengthen
itself by so doing? The resolutions
passed by the Populist convention
deceive no ore. They denounce Pea
body for his alleged ma ladministra-
ton, but forget to mention the fact
that Overs and the other popuiist
leaders labored incessantiy to secure
his election, and to vest him with the
power which this aggregation of po-
litical nondescripts declare he is
abusing.'r

ing to order, and on motion, that
gentleman was made chairman and
f. T.. Sheridan secretary.
On taking the chair, Mr.. Clark
spoke of the object of the meeting.
after which he referred briefly to
past efforts TO provide railroad com
munication between Meeker and the
"outside world
Dr.. y. w. Aldrich, rs the repre-
sentative of the eastern monied in
terests back of the proposed road,
was the first speaker. The. doctor
made a good impression. He talked
business from the word go" He
outlined the project in detail and
wound up by stating that the money
with which to build the road would
be obtainab!e as soon as the
people here gave assurance that
the small concessions asked for
would be granted. As stated in
last weeks HERALD, these conces-
sions consist Of free right-of-way
