In order to test the popularity Of

fore the advertised time of the sale,
women were arriving upon the scene
from all sections of the city,
The alleged hair was formerly the
property of Mrs. Pauline Krey, who

refused, for some reason or another,
to pay gas bill, the Los Angeles Gas
and Electric company, it is said, urged
officer Cline to take charge Of the as
sortment of wigs and plats.
From point of attendance the sale
was a great success, as many hundred
persons crowded about Constable Cline
as he hurled above his head, in a de-
fiant attitude, a bundle of horse hair
that would make bald headed person
happy ever after.
How much am 1 offered for the
whole bunch-four and twenty in ALL"
cried the officer in stentorian tones.
1t appeared that there was no woman
in the vast throng who could we'll ham
die such an enormous output of head
gear, and it commenced to look cheap
to them.
1.-Two dollars and fifty cents" said
dealer in such goods, and the sale
ended.

POLITICAL INFAnY IN COLORADO

when the presidency of the United States hlched
from the Democrats in 1876 the act characterized
by Charles Francis Adams Fraud rst triumphant in
American history"
The Alching Of the governorshp Of Colorado by Re-
publican polcitians of small consequence compared
with the national fraud but it is audaclous and
more infamous
If the Colorado fraud proves triumphant to the ex-
tent of deprvng Governor Adams of his seat perma-
nently precedent will be we'll calculated to cause
anxiety the stability of republican form Of
ernment
In the face Of a plurality of 9774 votes for Alva
Adams the Republican leaders in Colorado undertook
the job of reversing the popular verdict by counting in
Governor Peabody This attempt made in the face
of the fact that Peabodys damnng record had caused
him to run 44,356 behind the Republican presidential
ticket showing that large element of respectable Re
pubicans had repudated Peabody at the polls by voting
for his Democratic competitor.
But the corrupt ring in control Of the Republican
party Colorado could not brook the thought of losing
the governorshp with the spos and political influence
appertaning thereto 1t big undertaking to steal
the governorship from Adams, backed he was by a
plurality of nearly 10000 The situation did not deter
the group of conscienceless politicians however. and
they determined to unseat Adams with no more legal
moral right than the stage bandit would claim for his
order to Throw up your hands"
The glarng character of the nfamy is shown in the
refusal of twenty-five Republican legislators in the joint
assembly in favor of giving the governorship to
Peabody That blocked the scheme for lack of votes,
Then the consprators hit the idea of agreeing
that Peabody should resign Immediately after being
seated thus making way for giving the office to the
Republican lieutenant That proposition lubr
Gated the conscences of twelve of the twenty-five
recalcitrants. The remaining ten however, to their
everlasting credit expressed their sentiments finally
the outrage by voting for Adams But there was ma
jority in favor of the scheme for seating Peabody
condition that he would Immediately resign, and the
audacious fraud triumphant in Colorado.
If the honest and reputable people of Colorado fail
to arise in their might and this outrage they will
deserve to see their state Stunned hereafter by all
spectable homeseekers.
