Local DemOcI ats at Sea.

The local democratic bosses have
been trying all week to shape up a
county ticket which would stand some
remote chance of being elected on the
eighth of November, but they have
not yet succeeded in doing SO. Their
plan Is to secure the consent OF as
many disgruntled republicans as possi-
BILE TO ruu upon the ticket and then
nominate it by petition under the
head OF Reformed Republican. "
The democrats would later endorse
the ticket as a whole.
This scheme could be easily worked
by the editor of the Tidings and his
owners were it not for the fact that
there are very few republicans in the
county who will agree to such an un-
holy alliance. Only two or three So
called republicans will allow their
names to appear upon ticket which
is dictated by Acklin and the coterie
of men who own him. AS result no
ticket has yet been placed in the field
for the slaughter which will occur on

Denver "Savages" Hold

Convention in Julesburg.
The democratic representative con-
vention of the district comprising the
counties OF Arapaloe, Adams, Denver,
Phillips. Yuma and Scdgwick was held
in Julesburg last Saturday. Delegates
were present from all the counties in
the district, Denver being represented
by fifteen of the notorious "Savages'
Of that city.
The convention was called to order
at 10 o'clock by w. D. Kelsey, OF Holy
oke, chairman OF the representative
committee, and a contest arose at once
over the temporary organization. A
protest was filed against the seating
OF the Adams county delegates on the
ground that their credentials had not
been filed three days prior to the date
of the convention as provided in the
party rules. This protest was made
by Arapahoe, Phillips and Yuma coun-
ties, the Sedgwick county delegation
having been previously liked" to vote
with the Denver "Savaycs" and their
neighboring tribesmen, the Adams
county delegates.
The contest that followed was a
lively one and for Il few moments it
looked as though there would be a
free-for-all fight, with possibly numer-
Gus gun plays on the side. The lie was
freely passed between the warning
factions, and the threat was made by
John n. Studdard, president of the
the Adams county delegates were un-
seated by jobbery, the man nominated
by the trick would be defeated by
1000 majority in the city and county
of Denver; he further stated that no,
one cent of campaign money would be
sent into the district unless the Ad
ANS county delegates were allowed tt
participate in the convention.
These threats were terrifying, es
pecially so to the chairman Of tn,
Sedgwick county delegation, who wal
no less a parsonage than the euitor o

sentative, withdrew his name. realiz-
ing that lie could not secure the noni-
nation against the slate candidate.
The slate candidate, John |. Tierney,
was then placed la nomination, and
the nomination was made by ac-
clamation. John n. Stoddard was
elected chairman Of the representa-
tive committee to serve two years, and
B. p. Higgins secretary. COmmittee-
men from each county were named

Acklin Escapes a Nasty Hole.

| For considerable time before the
| democratic representative convention
assembled in Julesburg last Saturday
morning, it looked as though the cdi-
| tor of The Tidings would be unable to
deliver the goods he had contracted
last week in Denver to furnish the
Denver "Savages" upon this occasion.
His owners, the men who usually die
tate the policy of his paper, were in
clincd to go with the Phillips county
delegation and help nominate the
Holyoke candidate. Had they stoo
pat and done this, Acklin would have
been placed in a very peculiar posi-
tion: he had agreed for IL consideration,
said to be 100000 the details of which
were arranged in Denver last week, to
throw the vote of the Sedgwick county
delegation to the Denver crowd pro-
vided they should need It, or course,
Acklin knew that if the Adams county
delegates were given seats in the con-
vention the votes Of his delegation
would not be needed and the little
bargain" he had made with the "Sav-
ages" would never become known.
And we warrant that he has not yet
made it known to his fellow delegates.
at least not to the extent OF dividing
his plunder with them.
After the truce between the SAY
ages" the Arhpahocs and the Adams
county crowd had been arranged the
editor of the Tidings felt better; he
was not compelled to show his hand
unless he So desired. However, pos
sibly from Il sense Of gratitude for
farors received, he did show his hand,
and cast the entire vote Of his delega-
tion for Higgins, the Savage" candi-
date for chairman. He probably felt
so grateful for his escape from an I'M
pleasant predicament that he decided
to be honest TO: once. and carry out
his part of the agreement.
