DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATES.

the Gilpin county Democracy. Every
candidates. widely acquainted in the
county, having lived in these parts
for wears. Most of the nominees have
held public office before and some have
served in the capacity for which the vot-
ers are called upon to re-elect them. 1t
is unnecessary therefore to publish an
extended history of the several candi-
dates, but the following short sketch OF
each member Of the ticket during his
or her residence in Gilpin county is very
apropos at this time:
Fred S. Bosinger is thorough and
reliable Democrat. His father, II. c.
Bolsinger, ST., came to Gilpin county in
the early COS where he engaged with
his son Fred in opening up the mineral
resources of this county; and also from
his early boyhood Fred Bolsinger has
been continuously interested in mining.
He is a cool, level headed, enterprising
and industrious citizen, a friend and
supporter of the interests of the toiling
masses He is a man of few words, but
quick and positive action. He repres-
ented Gilpin county in the 18th General
Assembly with honor and credit to him
self and his constituents. Mr.. Bolsinger
was elected on the Populst ticket when
that movement swept this section of the
country, but has now returned to his
first love-the Democratic party, and
his nomination for the legislature has
been wise and prudent action.
No candidate aspiring for an office is
better known to the residents OF Gilpin
county than is Fritz j. Altvater the
nominee for clerk and recorder
on the Democratic ticket. The gen.
tleman is truly "native son" Of the
Kingdom of Gilpin. He was born in
Central City nearly thirty years ago
and under strict parental guidance and
good, moral environments has developed
into manhood with clean record and
an unblemished character. He has
lived here the greater portion Of his life;
was educated in the city schools and has
resided in other places at various times
just long enough to give his early educa
ton and training practical tinge. Mr..
Altvater has served the county in ca
pacity Of clerk and recorder the brief
period of one year, being elected with a
handsome majority last November to gil
an unexpired term. BE has executed
his duties in an intelligent and satisfac-
tory manner, with courtesy to all and in.
attention to none. His reelection is q
foregone conclusion.
Thos. Cody has record Of two terms
as sheriff for fearlessness and efficiency
that at once identified him as a most
formidable opponent and assures his
success. There are but few people in
the county who did not know "Tom"
Cody when he deftly and skilfully han
died the ribbons" over team OF fours,
! before he became terror to evil.doers.
II Sheriff Cody has any enemies in the
county or state, they have thus far failed
to appear. The law-breakers who have
fallen into his hands have been handled
as it were, with grip OF steel in glove
OF down. He has been humane, but
firm, and the desperate characters that
have been his guests have been subdued
by his tirmness and captivated by his
genuine good nature. Cody is sure
winner.
Chris Trezise is too we'll known to
the voters and people OF Gilpin county
to need any extended intoduction in
these columns for the reason that the
greater part Of his boyhood and early
manhood has been spent in this county
and among the people and neighbors
who have for the fourth time chosen
him as their county treasurer. His
record in filling the Office has been such
as to establish the entire confidence OF
the whole people OF the county, and Re-
publicans as well as Democrats, Fopu
lists and Mugwumps can rest assured
that the Office OF treasurer will be prop
