lamentable ignorance regarding
the sentiments of republicans in
this county. 1t asserts that
those about Paonia will support
the gang ticket offered them.
Some of the faithful" have been
up here trying to persuade our
republican friends to swallow the
nauseating dose cooked up by the
gang at the county convention.
If Bro. Perry will interview some
of those worthless who were here
in regard to their reception, he
will learn something to his ad-
vantage. People up here, without
regard to party, are intelligent
and independent. They know
when they are jobbed and resent
it. The mass of republicans had
no voice in their own convention
and no opportunity to choose
their nominees. The machine was
worked by the gang for their own
benefit and the voters know it
and resent it.

The Maine election is signifi-
cant even though the republican
press endeavors to show that it is
not. There was a slump of 3d.
600 from the republican majority
and when the vote was the heavi-
est for years Social issues do
not explain this detection. The
fact is that in Maine as elsewhere
there is drift from the republicans
to the democrats.

THE PRIMARY ELECTION LAW.

In this weeks paper we reprint
an editorial from the Pueblo
Chieftain dealing with the need
of primary election law in this
state. While the editorial con-
tains several very great injustices
to the democratic party, in the
main it is an appeal which should
be heard and needed. There is
but one way to correct the abuse
from which we suffer, and that
is to bring the power OF selecting
officials directly into the hands
of the people.
So long as gangs of unscrup-
lous politicians can control the
nominating conventions, just so
long will corrupt officials occupy
the Offices. Colorado faces a
condition where it is difficult to
determine what should be done
from supreme court standpoint.
Both tickets contain names of
men who should never sit as
judges over a justice court. let
alone occupy the august position
of supreme Judge.
The republican ticket fairly
stinks to high heaven. Goddard
and King are simply impossible
to be considered in connection
with any position where a square
deal is desirable. Helm is fairly
decent, all except his associations.
Maxwell has never yet performed
a judicial act that was opposed
by a corporation. And that is
what Guggenheim gave the re-
publican party as judicial ticket.
The democrats evidently COM
promised. They named two ex-
cellent men-Musser and White
one very upright judge, Mr..
Bailey of Canon City. and one
man whose legislative record
should defeat him, no matter
what his qualification for judge.
We speak of Senator Hill. who
was always on the wrong side in
any fight where the people had
interest. We doubt not that his
efforts in the assembly room
earned the nomination which he
obtained at Pueblo.
1t requires but glance at the
two tickets and an inspection OF
the methods that prevailed in the
convention to show how necessary
it is that the platform pledge of
both parties on the primary el-c
ton law be kept before those
who have the carrying out of the
pledge in their keeping. When
that law is secured. we can and
will control our own nominations.
The law should run from u. s.
Senator down to constable and
be so framed as to prevent fraud
as completely as regular elections
are now protected.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY
PRESS WONDERS.

Probably the most ancient Bible
printing works in the world is the
Oxford University Press, which dates
back to the fifteenth century. AT the
present time this press is turning out
Bibles at the rate of over million
year, in $50 different languages,
ranging from Esquimau to Indian.
Moreover, Bibles of all sizes are pro-
duced, from the large folio Bible for
the reading desk down to the smallest
Bible, which weighs only three ounces.
There are two departments to this
famous press-the Learned Press and
the Bible Press. The Learned Press
employees about three hundred persons,
chiefly compositors and proofreaders,
and sets up in type the numerous clas-
steal. English and Oriental works for
which the press is famous. The aver
age production of the Learned Press
is now about one book for every work
ing day--that is to say, about three
hundred and twenty a year. At the
Bible Press four hundred persons, with
sixty modern printing machines, pro-
duce on an average three thousand
copies of the Bible, not to mention
prayer books, every day. The whole.
sale binding work is done in London,
and the skins of hundred thousand
animals are used every year for the
covers of Oxford Bibles alone.
One of the feats of the Clarendon
Press was performed in connection
with the Caxton Exhibition in 1877,
which was opened by Mr.. Gladstone.
The list of Bibles was headed by the
first Bible printed G450- $3.50, and end
