Riahtino a Great Wrong.

Public opinion Is Overwhelmingly in
favor of giving the culprits the full
limit, and II the mass of evidence col
lected is anything TO go by the offend
ers already sentenced for contempt,
and many others who have not been
called before the Supreme Court, Will
have a stony path to follow through
the criminal courts, on their way to
the penitentiary.
So far as the people are concerned.
1t is simply question of righting a
great wrong and putting stop TO cleo
ton thievery and outrage.
In behalf of the election thieves,
and with the hope Of preventing the
throwing out of the fraudulent pre-
cincts, Senator Patterson has raised
many technical questions and done all
he could before the Supreme Court AID
In his papers to hamper and hinder the
investigation and punishment OF the
faithless Democratic election officials,
all to no purpose. however, for his
noisy objections and seedlings have
fallen upon deaf ears. The people want
the rascals punished.

Judge swayne lmpeaehed.

Sitting as n grand jury the House OF
Representatives on the 18th inst, with
almost full membership. adopted a
resolution providing for the impeach'
ment OF Judge Swayne. OF the North
ern district OF Florida, for high crimes
and misdemeanors."
Throughout the session intense In.
terest was shown by members. Fol
lowing the adoption OF the impeach'
ment resolution provision was made for
appointment Of Ave members to notify
the Senate OF the Impeachment and for
q committee Of seven to present the
case to the Senate.
The days proceedings were the frst
OF their kind since the impeachment In
1876 OF Gen. W. w. Belknap, who was
secretary Of war In General Grant
cabinet.
The charges and specifications
against Judge Swayne were read by
Mr.. Palmer tPa).
In support Of the charge OF misbe-
havior. Mr.. Palmer said evidence
showed that out Of each year Judge
Swaync spent on an average OF 2l2
days somewhere else. neither In his
district holding court, nor outside OF
his district holding court. Judge
Swayne, he said. never voted In Flor.
ida. never registered there. and never
lived there In any proper sense OF the

Interesting Political Bulletins.

A series OF political bulletins are
being circulated in Denver bearing
upon the frauds and Senator Teller's
election. The following brought an
answer from Mr. Patterson on the
front page Of the News:
"The United States Senate is now In
session. Colorado is not represented.
Senators Teller and Patterson are still
In Denver doing their utmost TO pre-
vent the punishment OF election
thieves and to secure the acceptance
OF the fraudulent Democratic vote as
genuine. Are they afraid OF losing
their own seats. which they secured
through the crimes Of these same bal
lot.box suffers? Does not this &C.
count for their present activity Hon.
est" John resigned" because Of these
frauds. All selfrespectitng people who
hold ONCE by virtue OF these crimes
should do likewise"
Mr.. Patterson made q spirited reply.
In which he defended his election as
honest and almost unanimous in the
Legislature, but failed TO defend the
charge that Mr.. Teller had been dis.
honestly elected. The handful caused
much comment because OF the
fact that Frank Adams police machine
In Denver undertook to suppress the
circular by arresting the distributors.
The latest developments In the
fraud investigation OF importance Is
the discovery that large "imperson-
ated" vote was cast In what are know
as the respectable" precincts In the
residence portions Of the city. This
was done by quiet, systematic repeat.
ing. with the rough.house features
eliminated. and by the impersonation
OF Republican voters and voting their
names for the Democratic ticket.
Regardless OF who may be elected
governor. the gratifying fact for the
average voter Is that the premium on
election rascality has been removed.
and for the nrst time In the history
OF the state wholesale election frauds
have been rebukcd and the guilty. or
nj least some OF them. are crowding
the jail OF the capital city. AP.

REPORTED SALE

Ing the Deal.
Denver. Dec. p7.-The Republican
this morning sSys: The Colorado
Springs & Cripple Creek District rail-
road, 1t is reported, has been sold to
the Colorado & Southern. The rumor
has besn, current in railroad circles for
several days that the Cripple Creek
road was to soon change hands. but
only on yesterday was 1t generally be-
lieved that the Colorado & Southern
was the purchaser. M
The Colorado & Southern now
handles its Cripple Creek business
through traffic agreement with the
Colorado Midland Terminal lines, and
1t Is said that 1t is the desire of the
company to secure firm grip on the
Cripple Creek district business, hence
Its purchase of the Colorado Springs &
Cripple Creek.
1t Is believed that the purchase, II
1t has been made, Is not for immediate
results. but for thu future, as business
Ia steadily increasing in the Cripple
Creek district, AMI there is every indi-
cation that the district has never
reached the limit OF its prosperity.
Denials are male that the Colorado

Creek road lis 4 .,nshonly known. but It
Is asserted that the deal was put

dent Howbert OF the Short Line is now
In New York, 1t is said. and that there
he negotiated with Edwin Hawley, the
principal owner OF the Colorado &
Southern for the sale Of the road. 1t
cost approximately S3,500,000 to build
the Cripple Creek road, but It is not
believed that the property sold for
that amount.
The Cripple Creek road was built
by mine owners of the Cripple Creek
district SO as to have an independent
road. Prior to its construction they
were at the mercy OF the Midland Ter
minal and Florence Il Cripple Creek,
both roads being owned by the same
company. The charges for ore were
deemed exorbitant and in order to get
out Of the meshes they built the Grip
pie Creek road. The road was built
practically in an air line from Colorado
Springs to Cripple Creek. 1t has forty
six miles of main line and several
miles of switches to mines in the dis
trict. 1t operates through trains be-
tween Cripple Creek and Denver in
conjunction with the Rio Grande.

Woman Suffrage.

The resolution granting to the
women of the various states the right
to vote for members of the House OF
Representatives was made the basis
OF a hearing before the Senate COM
mittee on woman suffrage. The ques'
ton was presented by a committee
consisting of representatives of the
Federal Woman's Equality Associa'
ton, and included Mrs. Clara Colby
OF Portland, Oregon; DR., Clara w.

Both she and Mrs. Colby made ar
guments In support OF the consutu'

announcing her conclusion in behali
Of her sex, Mrs. Lockwood expressed
the hope that the congressional rep
resentation of the southern states
would be reduced unless the negroes
are protected In their rights or SUI
frage. The declaration brought q
smile to the face Of Senator Bacon OF
Georgia, who is chairman of the sur
frage committee. ....
Mrs. Colby said it was not true that
women are quiescent under the pres.
ent discrimination against them, but
that in reality they feel keenly the
deprivation imposed upon them.
Many Of them are, she said, property
owners. and she contended for their
right OF representation at the polls.
She also called attention to Supreme
Court decision to the effect that negro
citizens are entitled to vote In all the
states, and drew the conclusion that
as women are citizens some provisions
be extended to them.

WHO is ELECTED GOVERNOR?

This action has since been shown to
have been wholly justified by the in
yestigation in the BonyngeShafroth
contest ordered by Congress. 1t was
found that something like 5000 fraud
ulent votes had been cast in twenty.
eight precincts, not to mention the
fraud in the other 176 precincts of
Denver. The unseating Of these repre-.
sentatives left the Legislature Repub.
lican on joint ballot, which meant the
election of Republican United States
senator.
Although 1t was Il well.known fact
that the Denver representatives had
been fraudulently elected, and that
they were justly unseated, the Demo
cratic Senate in order to elect Mr.. Tel.
Ter, threw out Senators Dick and Nc
Donald without investigation or evil
dence of fraud; In fact, no real contest
was offered by their opponents. A
mock contest was ordered and the
farce was gone through with. occupy.
Ing but few minutes, and these seats
were stolen.

Of the Republicans to right this wrong
