THE CAUSE OF THE PEOPLE
Greatest Political Gathering in Years at
Park Opera House. .-SenatOr Teller and
Ex-GOv. Thomas Make Great Speeches

finesse that leaves nothing to be said
after the governor has addressed him
self to it. His wit is keen as a razor
supports his statements by facts of
history which admit of no contradic-
ii IN.
AS he opened his speech he referred
to the ground work plan of all nations
and their constitutions and the guaram
tees carried by them to the whole
people. He then outlined IN most
delightful and forceful language the
outcome of trausgression of the con-
stitutional privileges and the perils
to that nation which failed to reoog-
nize these rights.
In the prelude for such it might be
called, he referred to the great law
givers of past time and their interpre-
tations of the rights to which the
people were guaranteed and gradually
brought his audience up to the period
of the transgressIon of the constitu-
tion and the organic law of the state
of Colorado.
To discussion of the situation of
affairs in this state he lent his best
powers. Throughout it all he was
fair and impartial. He condemned
the Western Federation of Miners.
as we'll as the Mine Owners associa-
tion. He aptly illustrated that where
| excesses were committed ON one side,
they brought corresponding excuses
from the opposite side. He said
that the balance would be preserved
even as the swinging of the pendulum
of clock as it swung one way
through acts overriding tie constitu-
| tion. through the acts of one side or
party, it must swing back by the same
excesses from the opposition.
He illustrated and repeated the
incendiary and blasphemous language
used by Gen. Sherman Bell in his
defiance of the courts. his disregard
of the rights of individuals and citi-
zens and his trapmling upon all con-
stitutional authority.
Not the least of the hits of the
evening were his answers to the ques-
tions pronounced by the republican
organ. His sallies of wit and biting
sarcasm as he answered this animal
who wore pants. were greeted with
storms of applause. Every single
question was most completely and
thoroughly answered.
During the whole time of the splen-
did speech but few persons moved
from their seats and at its conclusion
at 80 o'clock it was matter of re-
gret that he did not continue longer.
So fair was Governor Thomas in
his address that he made admissions
that the scheming politician would
not dare make, bat with him they
were made fearlessly, as he said he
had nothing to hide.
1t was splendid effort and did de-
mocracy in this county a large de-
gree of good and illustrates most con-
vincingly that there is a deep seated
feeling aroused against Peabody in
this county.

There was hot shot and she'll.
grape and canister, the cut of keen
satire and merciless rapier like
thrusts, from the speakers at the Park
opera house last night. the occasion of
the great democratic rally, with SEN
ator Teller and Ex-Goy. Charles S.
Thomas as the speakers.
On very rare occasions only has the
opera house contained larger audiences
liant speakers Every seat down
stairs was occupied. not by young boys
and girls. but by men and women
anxious to hear the local issues of the
Colorado campaign discussed by men
of such splendid ability.
The platform was occupied by the
local candidates and several gentlemen
we'll known in the clty's affairs. The
meeting was presided over by Henry
r. Rhone, who is democracy's candi-
date for county judge.
Senator Teller was the first speaker,
after few remarks by the candidate
in this district for attorney, Porter B.
Plumb. MI. Plumb made very
favorable impression III his speech
of few minutes.
Senator Teller was suffering from a
cold contracted at political gathering
at New Castle and did not speak over
half an hour. He reviewed his con-
nection with the republican party and
outlined his reasons for associating
himself with dem; cracy. He advanced
cogent reasons for his change of front
and then turned his attention to the
condition of affairs in this state as
they related to the military policy
of Governor Peabody.
In answer to question propounded
for information by George W. Barton,
Senator Teller most forcefully gave
his audience to understand that the
men deported from Telluride were
honest and reputable men and who
ever said differently were liars. :"
Evidently Senator Teller was sut-
fering greatly, but he warmed to his
subject and could have doubtless en-
tertained his splendid audience much
longer. but he was very desirous of
giving Governor Thomas all the time
possible.
1t was about five minutes of nine
clock when the tall form of the
ex-governor loomed in view. after a
short introduction by Mr.. Rhone.
For period of one and half bours
he was given the closest attention
by his audience and in that time he
Thoroughly reviewed the situation in
this state and pointed out without
malice the errors of the Peabody ad-
ministration. So that new view of the
situation Was taken by many who
had heretofore condemned the deport-
ed miners and had upheld the military
policy of Gov. Peabody and Sherman
Bell.
Mr.. Thomas is easily one of the
most polished orators in the entire
country today. His logic. no less
than his rhetoric is without flaw at
all times. Whatever subject he un-
dertakes to discuss is done SO with a

SENATOR'S HIGH OPINION OF MIR.
 ROOSEVELT.
No One Has Lived the Life of Ills Time So Amply as He, None Has
 shown Greater Hue
 manfty.

New York, Oct. 21.--In McClures Tor November. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge gives a glimpse of President RooseVeit as he sees him. He says of him:
 NO man has lived the life of his time so amply as he; no one has shoWh humanity in so many phases, no one has wider sympathies or so many ln- terests. 1t would be worse than ioie for any one, no matter how intimate ms knowledge. to fancy that he could de- pict a character so many sided, so tried and tested in such multiform ex- periences within the space allowed me here. His daily life does not differ in any respect from that of any other very busy man of great energy, who hnds rest and relief not only in active out of-door life but in a wide and constant reading of books--a habit, by the way, quite as characteristic as any others, but of which the newspaper critics and humorists tell us little.
 Theodore Roosevelt apprehends very quickly. When he has thought sup ject out thoroughly and knows what he means to do. he acts promptly. When, after full consideration, he has made up his mind as to what Is right he Is unbending, but no man has been in the White House for many years who IS so ready to take advice. who has made up his mind more slowly, more delib- erately. and after more consultation than Theodore Roosevelt.
 Every nation, or rather every his toric race. has certain attributes In ad- dition to the great and more obvious virtues which 1t believes to be pecu- liarly its own, and in which it takes an especial pride. We of the United States like to think of the typical American as a hfave man and an honest man. very human, with no vain pretense to infallibiiity.
 we would have him simple in his home life, democratic in his ways, with the highest education that the world can give kind to the weak, tender and loyal and true, never quarrelsome. but never afraid to fight, with strong. sane sense of humor, and with strain of adventure in the blood which we shall never cease to love until those ancestors of ours who conquered a con tinent have drifted a good deal further into the past than Is the case today. These are the qualities which all men admire and respect and which thus combined we like to think peculiarly American. As I enumerate them l de- scribe Theodore Roosevelt"

Correspondence of Associated Press.
 Mukden, Sept. 15.-There is now available for the first time an interest ing technical statement as to General Kuropatkin's order of battle at Liao- yang, issued between the evacuation of the advanced positions on the south ern front and the desperate Japanese assaults August 30 and 31 on the main positions around the town.
 In connection with this a description of the defenses of Liaoyang, written by an expert Russian officer on the ground. shows that though Liaoyang was fortified to the limit of military engineering skill. Kuropatkin had made all his preparations in advance for the withdrawal of the Russian army in case a decided victory was not achieved.
 The statement also shows that this withdrawal of the commissariat and supplies had begun early in July and it was only the reserve stock of sup plies that had been retained in case of & Russian victory, that was removed Auguest 31.

Ex-PREsIDENT TELLS OF DEMO-
 CRATIC CANDIDATE.
American People will Make no Mistake by Placing the Utmost Confidence in the Judges Devetion
 to Duty

New York, Oct 22.-Former Prcsi- dent Grover Cleveland. in Mcclure's for November. gives his personal esti- mate of Judge Parker as . candidate for President. He says of him in part:
 "we sometimes find features of character so prominently visible in a mans mental organization that, like the features or his countenance, they need no proof of their existence. This is pre-eminently true of Judge Par ker's intent deliberation in reaching conclusions and his inherent judicial conservatisme These qualities of his mind are so distinctly apparent that they are at once seen and known by all who gain the slightest knowledge of the man. This should make it thor oughly understood that those who love Presidential pyrotechnics must look elsewhere.
 q have known Alton B. Parker for more than twenty years. He im- pressed me on our first acquaintance as a sincere, honest and able man; and this impression has, with time and ob- servation. grown to clear and undoubt- ing conviction. I am sure that ven- ture. nothing in making the positive as- sertion that the guiding trait of his character is his constant and unyield- ing devotion to duty.
 Judge Parker's experience in judi cial investigation, added to his natural aptitude in the same direction, ought to satisfy the most cautious and ex- acting of his abundant ability to dis cover in the light of constitutional re- quirements, and in the atmosphere of enlightened but conservative Amerl- canism, the manner in which a Presi dent should best serve his countrymen.
 T am persuaded that the American people will make no mistake if they place implicit reliance in Alton B Parker's devotion to duty. in his clear perception of the path of duty. in his steadfast persistency against all temp tation to leave the way where duty leads. and in his safe and conserva- tive conceptions of Presidential respon- abilities"

Our Daily Sport Story

she was startled to see three or four men come out of the old root cellar. She drew back into the shadows with palpitating heart and felt quite faint from fear until, as the men passed, she recognized Fred's voice. Then her fear was supedseded by curiosity and excitement. She felt that she was on the track of the mystery.
 As soon as the figures had disap- peared from sight she relighted the lantern and sought the cellar. The door was partially open and a faint streak of light shone out. She look ed in. Lying on a pile of lumber was man. bound hand and foot, gagged and blindfolded.
 Again terror seized her and she was about to flee when she recognized the form as that of Wendell Lane. In. an instant she had removed the gag from his mouth and the bandage from his eyes.
 Isn't this Miss White?" he asked. 'You'l pardon my not rising. 1 am
 MT. Lane." she replied. But how can l cut these cords. I cannot unite them"
 There's a knife in my pocket"
 Helen soon severed the stout cords that bound him and he was on his feet.
 "Quick" he exclaimed. Let's get away before they come backr
 Leaving the lantern they sped away in the darkness, not pausing until out of range of the cellar.
 Do tell me why you were in there and bound so cruelty"
 T have recently joined the club of which your brother Is member, and they were initiating me tonight They took me fin that place, telling me it was the vault of the cemetery, and r almost believed them. This was only the preliminary to several pleasant things they had in store for me-"

 Indeed I will" was his hearty re- joinder When they reached the house and enjoyed a friendly chat, he sudden ly exclaimed:
 When they come back and find me missing they'll get out a search war rant. Won't they come here?"
 Oh, no! Fred will never look for you here" declared Helen, confident- ly.
 Why not?"
 She blushed a little but frankly told him how she had tried in vain to bring him to the house. Present.. ly they adjourned to the den and Wen dell made caviar sandwiches and open- ed olives while Helen made the cof- fee.
 As they were enjoying a cozy It- tie meal they heard the outer door open.

 And may I come soon tomorrow night?' he asked, earnestly, as he was taking leave.

 But Fred was cross and irrespon- sive. That evening when he came home he was dumfounded to find Wen dell there chatting away and on friendly terms with Helen.
 Where did you two meetr he asked, bluntly.
 "Oh, MT. Lane introduced himself to me one time when we were thrown into each others society,"" she said demureiy, and Tom didn't even smle.
