Jeff Davis is in the city.
Attorney General George w, Muir
hy is alsc in the city.
And likewise Hon. w. V. Tompkins
in the city
The three men mentioned arrived n
The city this morning with separate
purposes.
Davis anncuoes that he wants to
carry Jefferson county in his race for
governor.
Murphy announces that his single
purpose is to meet the present gov
ernor in joint debate.
Tcmpkins says he wants to defend
and support Judge Carroll D. Wood
for governor.
Governor Davis arrived this morn
ing at 10:3O O'CLOCK over the Cotton
at the train by part of the "old
guard whc. had Clipped in and hired
LeMaire's band tc celebrate the oc-
caslon.
Mayor H. King White, T. Havis Nix
on, Greed Caldwell, l. Reinberger, TFo
ley Sam and Meyer Solmson composed
the committee from this city. After
these had finished shaking hands the
others who were sanding around had
a chance.
"Howdy, governor, I'm from Grant
county," was first heard.
Hello Jeff, I'm from Grant county,
too.'
I'm from Cleveland county.
t'Im from Lincoln county"
Such exclamatlons were fired at the
third term candidate until he was con-
strained to ask:
Where are the rest of the 'cId
guard from Jefferson county?"
'Over at the Iron Mountain depot
waiting for Col. Murphy was the
sad wall.
Then the poor mans friend was
escorted to carriage and headed by
the $25 band, paraded the four blocks
to the hotel Trulock While his fol
lowers trocped on foot behind. The
governor registered and went to his
room, while the faithful thirty seven
waited outside for the Murphy crowd.
At the Iron MC.mtain depot many
We're gathered to await Murph's COM
Ing, In the delegation were noted
W. T. Woodbridge, Judge J. M. Elliott,
H. Kemp Toney, E. J. Kerwin. S. NJ.
/ Taylor, c II Triplett, James Gould,
Tom Meeks, Hunter Knox, S J. Hunt,
j. wv. Tucker, A. H. Rowell, w. F.

erS.
A carriage was waiting for Col.
Murphy, too, but when he saw the
crowd the colonel said:
"We can not all ride. Let's all
walk" and walk they did one hundred
strong to the Hotel Trulock.
Jeff and his crowd had thirty min
utes start, but couldn't stay together
that long and when the other crowd
arrived the ovation was for Murphy.
Cheers for Wood and Murphey rent
the air and Jeff Davis wasn't to be
seen. Safely hidden away in rocm
80 he was either thinking over mis-
speech or trying to figure out how he
could carry Jefferson county and
dodge Murphy at the same time.

Not all the Colorado irrigation corpora
