Unpreiudiced Com ment.

A good many western editors and
writers-the most OF them are badly
intermediate rubbing ia coniderable
abuse on Colorado for the Cripple
Creek embroglio. AS matter of fact,
the miners had no excuse for going on
strike for they were working only
eight hours day and had been work
ing those hours for ten years; the min
mum wage was 50. 90 and the average
q. 90 for an eight hour day. No de-
mand had been made for shorter hours
nor for more wages on the part Of the
miners. Not five per cent of the men
wanted to strike, but it was forced up
on them by Meyer and Haywood,
aliens to tho state. Not d single griev-
ance existed between ihe miners and
their employers. 1t is difficult for
outsiders to reconcile this fact with
the strike, but shorn of all politics and
the rattle Of musketry in the battle Of
Dunville, it is the truth.-Field and

The Republican Record.

The Hon Charles Warren Fairbanks.
in responding TO the formal notifica-
tiOn Of his nomination to be the re-
publican candidate for vice president,
gave this concise summary OF the re-
publican record for the past eight
pears:
1.-The vast business OF the great gov
ernment has been we'll administered.
The laws have been enforced fearless
ly and impartially. The treasury has
been adequately supplied with revenue,
and the financial credit Of the govern
ment was never better. Our foreign
trade business continues to increase
our national wealth. We have adopt
ed an irrigation policy which will
build homes in the arid regions OF the
west. The Panama canal, the hope
of centuries, is in course Of construc-
tion under the sole protection OF the
American flag"
These, in addition TO the general
benefits of peace with all the world,
are the principal achievements Of re-
publican rule during the eight years OF
constructive work which succeeded
four years OF democratic confusion and
disaster.
They are not notably the achieve
ments OF Theodore Roosevelt or OF
William Mckinley or OF any other po-
lit;cal leader. They are the achieve
ments Of the whole body of construc-
tive power that is behind republican
legislators and administrators. They
are the achievements OF the republican
party as a whole.
They have produced conditions de-
sired by every citizen who has a stake
in his country or hopes to get one.
Such conditions, within the memory Of
living men, none, save the republican
party has shown the power to produce
or maintain. "These conditions con-
stitute," as Senator Fairbanks said,
1.-THE strongest possible assurance for
the future"
Therefore, to all citizens who desire
these conditions to continue-whO de-
sire their country to go on in achieve
ment as it has gone for the last eight
years-the republican party confident
ly submits its cause on its record
