STATE CHAIRMAN.

Now that the gubernatorial contest
is definitely and finally settled, 1t
might be well to name in this issue oil
the Colorado Statesman one OF the
great actors in that drama, whose ma
tive modesty has hitherto kept his per-
sonality in the background. Others
have appeared in the lime light of the
stage during every act of the great
contest, and the changes have been in
cessantly rung on their names. But
Hon. d. B. Farley, chairman of the
bers of his executive committee, are
deserving of the highest praise and
deepest gratitude of the party for this
superb and complete victory. They
were the men behind the guns, as it
were. They were more than that.
Farley was the Oyama of this trium-
phant campaign. Every alert, full
of fight, carrying the war to the en-
emy without ceasing, using the deep
strategy and availing himself of every
legitimate resource of the born COM
mander and leader, he was ably as
sisted by his staff of patriotic and we'll
trained advisers. With such field
marshal and such a staff the sweeping
and utter route of the enemy was
never in doubt. For d. B. Farley is
at the head of political campaign will
be simply equivalent to victory

OUR DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Hon. George Stidger is making a
great record for himself as district at
torney and comes up to the full meas
ure of the expectations and predictions
of the many friends who know him
best. Filling the most important, and
in political sense, the most influen-
tial Office in the county, he knows
neither friend nor foe in the perform
ance of his official duties. Impartial
ity and justice seem to be the notices
which control the administration of his
office. This spirit clearly reveals itself
in the numerous prosecutions for crime
already instituted Election thieves
have found no mercy in his hands, and
he did not hesitate or relent because
occasionally the thief happened to be
Republican. This faithful and ener-
getic performance of duty has resulted
in the conviction of large number of
election crooks who have hitherto en-
joyed immunity. Some are now Ian
gushing in the county Jail and having
ample time and cause to reflect on the
mutability of human fortune (espe-
cially politicaD, while others are just
about to enter uDOn a term of wears in
the State Penitentiary. Persons ac-
cused of crime of high or low degree
are all alike to him. The opportunity
is within his grasp of proving himself
another Joseph Folk. 1t is the chance
of a lifetime-the hour of fate; for
such an opportunity visits one but once
in lifetime and returns no more. We
are sure from our knowledge of Mr.
Stidger's fearless, aggressive and per-
sistent character that he will make
good whenever and wherever the par
ticular occasion arises. no matter who
is hurt. The upright, fearless and pa
triotic officer need entertain no appre
hension as to his political future, for
he builds better than he knows, and
on firm and enduring foundation that
reer.

One class OF citizens have voted the
Republican ticket almost unanimously
We believe this element will receive
just, prompt and befitting recognition
in the distribution of positions. Char
acter, merit and work for the party
ought to be the true tests. But above
all only true and tried Republicans
should be put on guard. Among those
we might mention X. r. Connors of
Pueblo. 1t occurs to us that no one in
the whole state has suffered to the
same degree on account of his unwav-
ering Republicanism and the work he
did for his party in the last campaign
than has Mr.. Connors. Like the mar
tyrs of old he was immured in dark
prison for days and weeks because he
kept the faith and would not betray
the Republican cause at the behest of
Democrats. His active and efficient
work in the campaign had made him
conspicuous target for the poisoned
shafts of Democratic revenge. They
had sworn to get even with him, and
they did. That is the kind of party
loyalty that should be rewarded Mr..

years, SO the duties will not be new to
him. The Colorado Statesman in

DENVER MAN MURDERED.
Claude V. Logan Killed in GoIdfieId,
Nevada, Mining District.

Denver March 24.-Claude V. Logan,
a son of A. R. Logan of Denver, was
mysteriously murdered at Ida, Ne
vada, Tuesday night. 1t is believed
that Mr.. Logan was murdered in cold
that he might not appear as witness
against certain parties accused of
shooting citizen of Ida. A posse is
now securing the country in the vicin-
ity of Goldfield for the murderers, and
it is probable they will be lynched if
caught.
Logan had been in Ida two months
and half, and with man named Fox,
Howard Ish and Clyde Turnbull, law
yer in G. j. Hughes office, started a
mining company in the camp, locating
several valuable properties His father,
a printer now with j. b. Stott and for
many years employed by the Times,
received telegram from w. C. Ross,
a justice of the peace in Goldfield, Ne
vada, announcing the death of Claude
the evening before at Ida. No details
were given as to the murdererS or the
cause of the shooting.
Young Logan was a witness of a
shooting affray not long ago, and it
may be that this is the secret of the
murder.
Joseph Usher, partner of Logan's
in some Ida real estate, and an Indian
named Simpson, are believed to have
been connected with the crime. Usher
was the man shot at in the first scrape,
while Simpson has had bad reputa-
ton in the camp since first coming
there.
Usher, Simpson and Logan were
playing cards in the Indians tent and
during the progress of the game Usher
succeeded in 'arousing Logan's anger.
Then, leaving the tent, it is believed he
paid the Indian to shoot Logan while
the latter was helpless. The program
was carried out and the two men made
their escape before Logan's body was
discovered in the morning. Such is
the theory of the shooting entertained
by Logan's father.
