Governor Peabody's Early Appoint
mentS an Innovation.

In announcing his appointees before his
Inauguration Governor -elect Peabody is
blazing new trail. The like was never
known before. The practice heretofore
has been for governors to hold back the
announcement Of most Of their appointees
until the last two or three days o! the
session Of the legislature. then the ap-
pointments were sent to the senate and
considered in executive session. up TO
which time there was great secrecy about
who tho appointees would be.
Tho practice Of holding back the ap-
pointments has been for the purpose. II
is generally believed. Of giving the gov
ernor a chance to control Legislation to q
certain extent to his liking.
II does not seem to DO tho proper thing
for governor to attempt to shape legis-
iation through his patronage. tha, Is. by
saying TO \ member you support this or
that measure or you will not receive pat
ronage at my hands. It has appeared
;ha, better course for the governor to
pursue would be to make his appointments
as soon after his Inauguration as possible;
that by so doing he would avoid much Of
tho III feeling generally displayed agains,
him by tho unsuccessful applicants. The
course being pursued by Governor elect
Peabody changes all those conditions. Il
is announced that no will determine upon
all his appointees before his Inauguration.
thereby being free to consider other mat
tors afterwards.-Canon City Clipper.

are two sets OF committees on inaugural
ceremonies and social functions and on

committee on iollifieation consists OF the
ehsrmen Of tho county central commit

prominent Republicans in each county.
The ehairmen constitute the working COM

now raised at its one factory and does
not caro- to erect another at this time.

People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is so often incurable.

consumption get a bottle Of

The use Of SCOTS Emulsion

cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
