CLIQUE. AFRAID OF SCOTT.

Honorable w. scott is as good a law
yer as Andrew Edmiston. He is as
good a man. and. in some respects
superior to him. His virtues exceed
FIIlniston's. Harrison county was en-
titled to name the man for Judge and
Harrison county was entitled to the
nomination. since all Americans believe
in that American principle that the ma
iority should rule. Harrison county
had several more delegates in the con
vention than Lewis county did If Ilar
rison county mad wanted to do 50,
Scott would have been the nominee. and
Lewis county would have bowed to the
inevitable without whimPer- But for
some reason Scott is not the sort of man
the Democratic clique in this county
likes. Some way or other he IS too
broad.minded too loberal in Thought to
conform to their narrow code of ethics.
And so the clique. after assuring him
of its support. threw him overheard He
was treated Just rs some of the Demo-
cratic aspirants for nomination for
sheriff were by that clique. 1t told
friends of tne candidates that were de-
feated That the clique would be for their
candidates. but it never had the slight
est idea OF keeping THAT promise, as
shown by the fact that the nominee
himself stood on the street curb at the
nour OF midnight with another and
chuckled over how they had played the
trick without the other fellows finding
it ont to use his and his clique friends
expression on that occasion. And thus
it is that Scott was turned down, and
it was not that the De,nocratic party
did not want him as MS candidate for
judge.

those who nave Thought Judge Parker
could be bigger than his party if elected

ltlsions should be set aside in the begin-
ming of the campaign. and all voters

the party of free trade and free silver

Rev. Ray in Trouble.

A sensation was caused in the
Methodist Episcopal conference last
week in Pueblo by the action of
Bishop Moore in administering a
scathing rebuke to Rev. q. F. Ray,
formerly Of this place.
Rev. Ray was placed in charge of
the Methodist Church at Morrison in
the Pueblo district last fall. After n
time he suddenly left Morrison and
accepted the pastorate of the MethO-
dist church at Del Norte in the Rio
Grande district without first having
notified the presiding elder, DIR. Har-
ris, Of his contemplated change. The
bishop said: II want to say to
Brother Ray that his action was I'M
warranted under the circumstances.
II you had asked the presiding elder,
his big, noble heart would not have
denied your request and you should
have notified him before leaving your
charge. Such actions as that are not
consistent with Methodism and call
for denunciation at my hands. That
Is ALL"
