" MANLY ADDRESS OF REAL NAN

The first gun of the campaign was
fred at the Glenwood opera house last
Friday night when Chancellor Henry
A. Buchtel, candidate for governor.
and Gen. George w Cook. candidate
for congressman at-large, addressed
our citizens on the political questions
of the day.
Chairman Parkison called the meet
ing to order and announced that
Horace Mann. candidate for represen
tative, would act as presiding officer.
Mr.. Mann addressed the meeting
briefly. outlining in an able manner
his position upon those questions
which will come before the Legislative
body. His remarks were we'll re-
ceived by the audience. Mr.. Mann
tnen introduced Chancellor Buchtel,
whom he declared scarcely needed an
Introduction to a western slope au
dience. The chancellor said among
other things:
"From the beginning of the history
of our country we have had two polit-
ical parties, diverse and different
from the other. They have not had
tine same names that they now have,
but one has always been set up against
the other.
lone of these parties has always
been constructionist party. and one
that spelt Nation with big N. This
party began in the time of that great
est patriot. George Washington, that
God fearing American and statesman,
and so they began that party.
"You remember that De Toqueyille
said in 1884 that the federal govern
ment was growing weaker and weak
er and would eventually end in dis
aster. There were many pessimjsts in
this country who held this belief.
But the constructionist party went on
doing business at the same old stand.
'On the other hand the democratic
party has been the critical party or
to be more exact the destructioni
party.
"Since the days of Jefferson it has
been hereditary to it to be against the
judiciary. jackson was the man who
cursed the judiciary. The democratic
party can always grasp the legislative
and executive branches of our three
fold government, but never the ju-
dicial Like the Irshman of old they
have always been feminist the gov
ernment.'
The speaker then paid high trib.
ute to President Harrison, whom be
said that he personally knew back in
Indiana. His ecomium was heart
felt and sincere. and he mentioned
how the country had reached high
state of prosperity under his wise ad
ministration in Washington.
Continuing Chancellor Buchtel said {:
Then when Cleveland came in there
was decline in prosperity that was
startling and alarming in extent
Obstl uctionist tactics in congress
ruined prosperity
"Those were the days of the soup
kitchens in Indianapolis, where the
city fed thousands of the starving and
the unemployed.
"Then when the time Of the cleo
tion of Mckinley came near, conf
dence was again held for the gov
ernment and business conditions began
to reassert themselves for the better.
The tendency was upward, always up,
ward.
we said lot of things here in
Colorado about the election of Nc
Kinley that did not materialize. We
said that If Mckinley was elected
president of the United States there
would be revolution in Colorado,
but Mckinley was elected and there
was no revolution. Business of all
kinds was soon on the up trend. and
it has been on the up trend ever since,
and we have had such n wonderful
degree Of prosperity that we have
been taxed to the utmost to take care
of our great mass Of business. and
right here in Colorado every railroad
is simply prostrated in trying to han
die the immense traffic which is fal
greater than ever before.
"Elect democratic house and sen
ate and prosperity will cease Th'
railroads cannot handle all their bust
ness at the present day. Elect thu
democratic ticket and every car viii
be emptied.
