A Hish Tribute.
One of the highest tributes paid to
Gen. Wheeler was from the pen of
Northern writer, in which he said
in part:
"Physically small, though wiry and
enduring, he rises above mere stature
in the eyes of those who hear him
speak in the fervid eloquence of plain
honesty. Mentally he towers over
the stalwart men ahont hi.n, as u
veritable son of Anak.
Briefly" continued the writer, "to
sum him up, Joe' Wheeler is that
rare combination, gentleman of the
old school, grated upon the progress
sive man of to-day, which makes
him the typical American he is."

constitutional right of Congress to
enact a bill similar TO that being
considered.
$, He was member of the Society
of Colonial Wars, Sons of the Revo-
luton, Sons of the War of 1912, the
Society of Santiago, United Confede-
rate Veterans Association, and the
Naval and Military Order of the
Spanish American War.
Gen. Wheeler contributed numer-
Gus articles to newspapers and maga.
zines, which dealt largely with tech
nical military matters.
Gen. Wheeler has long enjoyed
the warm personal friendship of
President Roosevelt, and has been a
f equent visitor at the White House
during the latter's term of office. He
wrote monographs upon the lives of
Admiral George Dewey, President
William Mckinley and President
Theodore Roosevelt.
Only recently Gen. Wheeler was
prominently mentioned as Police
Commissioner of New York City to
succeed McAdoo. He promptly
denied, however, that he was an
aspirant for or would accept the high
office under any circumstances. He
avowed his intention at the time of
returning to his old home at Wheeler,
Ala, where, for many years, he was
a prosperous planter.
Gen. Wheeler is survived by five
children, one son, Major Joseph
Wheeler, Jr., and four daughters,
Mrs. Julia Harris, of Georgia, and
the Misses Lucy, Annie and Carrie
Wheeler. All were at the bedside
of the stricken soldier when the
spirit took its departure.
Humorous Side OF the Generals Life.
Several amusing anecdotes are told
in connection with Gen. Wheeler's
remarkable career during the war.
On one occasion, after he had been
severely wounded, he said, "What
do you think of me, doctor 2''
The surgeon, being humane man,
lodged the question, and gave an
evasive answer.
"Now, look here, Doc" said
Wheeler, 81 am not a child. Tell
me plainly what you think"
"Well," replied the surgeon, "You
will have to die; there is no hope
for you"
81 will bet you ten dollars that l
don't |" was Wheeler's answer. And
he didn't.
Gen. Wheeler, in common with
other commanders, was sometimes
given trouble by the foe Stonewall
Jackson said he feared more than he
did the Federal army.
On one occasion, in Middle Ten
nessee, Wheeler applied Jackson's
remedy and ordered number of dis
tilleries burned. Gen. -, who

That MuCh=Taked=Of
Address tORepubIicans

Last week a number of prominent
| Republicans issued an address to the
Republicans of Colorado, suggesting
the necessity of overthrowing the
present organization and rescuing the
machinery from those in control.
The address is published In full be-
low. 1t has been received, Of course
in different ways in different places.
The Denver Republican ridicules the
proposition and roasts the signers.
The Pueblo Chieftan commends the
movement and lauds the leaders.
The Colorado Springs Gazette ad-
mits the truth of the address and de-
plores present conditions. but fears
that the leaders of the new movement
are little better.
The address speaks for itself:
Denver, Colo, June, 1906.
To the Republicans Of Colorado:
The intolerable condition OF party
affairs in some parts of the state. par
ticularly in Denver. impel the under
signed to issue the following address
to their fellow Republicans:
In the industrial war which imme-
diately preceded the last Republican
state convention certain public utility
corporations, acting for their own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT and profit, aided by
the chief executive of the state, and
by the use of an unlimited corruption
fund, obtained dominating position
in the party councils. which, with the
vast resources at their command, cas-
lily enabled them to practically control
tI,.. yt..t. T.. 81
fish interests.
1t was generally supposed that their
main purpose was desire to retain in
the executive chair one who had prov
ed himself subservient, and many well
meaning and upright Republicans. in
cluding representatives OF large inter-
ests, believing that conditions then
existing in Colorado required the re-
nomination OF the then executive.
Joined these corporations to accom-
plish that purpose. These Republicans
supposed that these corporations were
actuated by the. same motives which
moved them to insist on the renomina-
tion Of Governor Peabody They did
not then realize, which was afterward
80 clearly demonstrated, that certain
of the Denver utility corporations were
engaged In campaign to control both
political organizations for the purpose
Of using them in the spring Of 1906 to
secure from the people without just
compensation valuable public fran
chises. The situation then was that
one portion OF the allies Of the execu-
tive were acting as they honestly be-
lieved for what was the best interest
Of the state and the maintenance OF
law and order therein. and the other
Cañon City record., 1906-06-21

for their own greed and financial ad-
vancement The latter so prompted
and so acting. with honeyed speech
and subtle cunning. soon obtained
complete mastery and control Of both
political organizations. They shut
their ears to the voice of the people.
for whom they had no care. and for
ced the denomination of q candidate
whose defeat was a foregone conciu-
sion to everyone who did not overesti-
mate the power Of money in politics.
The defeat OF their candidate was
followed by the most disgraceful chap
ter in the history of the state. The
three departments OF the state govern
ment aided In plan which had for Its
object the eliminating OF the rightfully
elected governor and the seating OF
defeated candidate.
II was plan born OF the arrogant
sense OF the power of money, and II
was vigorously pursued with brutal
intimidation. shameless corruption and
open defiance of the constitution and
the laws of the state. II terminated
in the miserable bargain under
which the present executive. who had
not even been a candidate for the Office
OF governor, holds the office.
1t Is needless to say that the great
mass Of Republicans throughout the
ceedings and cherish bitter resent
ment against those who are responsi-
BILE for the stain upon the party. and

court last Friday morning handed
down a decision in the controversy
over the officce of coroner, deciding
in favor of DR.. w. C. Stevenson, there
by sustaining the action of the county
commissioners in appointing him to
that position.
DR.. r. II. Paxton of Florence, 1t
will be remembered, was elected to
the coronership in 1904, but a few
months later went to Cripple Creek
to look after some business matters,
remaining there about year. While

vacant by the county commissioners

and DR.. W. c. Stevenson of Florence

in the case was heard by Judge Bailey
