The Democratic party is certainly

the almost solid opposition of the

adage that the early bird catches the

loose in the states where early con

THE REPUBLICAN STATE CON.
VENTION.

The Republican state convention to
alect delegates to the national con
gention has been called for the 9th
If May in the city of Denver
The meeting OF The Republican state
committee 10 arrange for the conven-
lion was spirited one, and the in
evitable Denver primary question
came up as usual.
Notwithstanding the warmth of the
discussion. however. it was apparent
hat the members OF the committee
from the stale at large have the wei
fare OF the party more at heart Than
hey have The triumph oI either ui
he factions, AMI that nothing VIII be
eft undona to win a glorious Repub.
lican victory this year
Perhaps TOO much harmony in the
party might lead into undue lethargy.
and it is probably just as well that
differences OF policy do exist. so long
as they are confined TO contests inside
lhe ranks.
In most every state of the union
here are two factions in the Repub-
ican party and they generally serve
4 useful purpose 10 keep the party
voters aroused and Interested. and
they only become harmful when they
generate such bitter feeling that there
Is an organized party bolt
There is a we'll defined and power,
ful sentiment against personal poll
tics and against unfair methods in
Colorado, and that being true, the
proper adjustment Of all party differ
ences is matter easily attained when
the common enemy is In sight
Outside Of Denver, the Republican
party oil Colorado was never IN better
lettle and, after all, the Republicans
have come to expect their maJorities
in the staie at large and not in the
city of Denver
No doubt it would be godsend to
the people ui Denver to throw OF the
yoke Of Democracy, but the results in
that direction Will be sooner accom-
plished by letting the Denver people
settle their own troubles themselves
than by outside Interference.
The Republican party OF the stale
is united, harmonious and loyal. and

In commenting on the yellow press
Of Denver which has continually mis-
represented The Industrial conditions
m this section OF the state the Our-
ly Plaindealer tDemocraticJ comments
AS follows: "Of all the miserable
lies and rot ever published that is
certainly the worst, and 1t does more
harm to Ouray, TO the san Juan coun-
try and TO the state than anything
else could do, on account OF the circu-
latiOn given to II all over the United
States Eastern papers copy II, and
1t is keeping millions OF dollars out
of Colorado. AS one Instance of the
harm this has done the editor of the
Plaindealer can testify. A year ago
In January he opened an office on
Wall street in New York, for the pur
pose Of interesting moneyed people in
Ouray county mines. There was very
little labor trouble in the state at that
time, and what little there was the
papers gave no attention The first
SIX months that Office was open 1t took
in over $4,000 in cash, and almost
every dollar Of it went into the de
selopment of Ouray' county mines.
The last six months we did not do
enough business to pay office rent,
and the mines had to be closed down.
and for no other reason on earth than
that the capitalists got frightened at
the red headlines in the yellow jour
nails. When we went to some veal
thy man to talk Colorado mines to
him. he flashed a dispatch he had cut
from his daily paper, with lot Of
Internal lies in red headlines, like
the ones quoted above from the Post,
