no means backward about claim
ing a lions share for his help
In general way the composition
of Taft cabinet can be fore
seen. What conservative citizen
can guess, without a sense of
alarm, who would be selected by
Bryan as his nearest advisers :?
The quality of his pat and pres
ent associates is the best indica-
ton as to what his cabinet would
be. His free silver crusade and
his unexpected jump into the
championship of the public own
ership of railroads are fair spec
linens of his intrinsically un-
sound judgment.
If Bryan were elected he could
not have during his term Con-
gress in political harmony with
himself, and legislation would
accordingly be tied up for the
next four years, a period that
would be wasted in a discordant
deadlock when the need of the
country is unquestionably an ad-
ministration with power to act.
The election of a president i'm
plies the exercise of a sober
judgment based on definite
knowledge and accomplished
facts. A vote for Bryan denotes
a willingness to take man on
blind faith, beyond the known
points that are plainly adverse
to him. The election of Bryan
is not probable. Under the cir
cumstances it seems scarcely
possible. 1t is, in truth, impos-
sible if men will think over the
matter with calm deliberation,
weighing the two men fairly in
the light of reason and expert
ence, putting aside the clamor
of sham popularity. Taft means
a steady forward march. Bryan
means doubt, dread, a general
pause until a strange situation
could be cleared up. st. Louis

The Denver Situation.

The Democratic press led by
the Post and News of Denver is
making strenuous efforts to con-
vince the Republicans of Colo
rado that the recent action of
the state central committee in
organizing county central COM
mittee for Denver county was to
promote the political interests of
some one man within the Repub-
lican party. This is nonsense.
The state central committee
has acted solely for the best in
terests of the party in calling
for a new committee in Denver.
The old one failed to carry the
city, which is Republican, and it
is right that it should be super
seded in the coming election.
The story so industriously cir
culated by the Democratic press
that the control of the party or
ganization had been thrown into
the hands of any individual or
group of leaders to dictate the
policies of the party is ridiculous.
The Republican party of Colorado
has no boss, and it will tolerate
none. No Republican is big
enough to dominate its policies
and nominations. The leaders
and the voters have never been
closer together or more harmoni-
Gus than they are at present,
and this is why the Democratic
organs are throwing spasms in
an effort to deceive the public as
to the real meaning of the recent
appointment of the Denver cour-
ty committee. News from Dem
ocratic sources or from other
enemies of the party regarding
Republican party affairs should
be wholly disregarded at all
times. Press Bureau.

Bryan's name was Kissed at
the Hearst Convention, but there
was no attempt to break the
hour-and-a-half record.
One trouble with the Bryan
prospects is that it would take a
great landslide to elect him, and
there is no assurance that his
vote will not be smaller than
ever.
The Bryanites have the strange
notion that they can capture the
Hearst party without Hearst. AS
well offer Hamlet with the mel
ancholy prince, the first grave
digger and the ghost omitted.
The farmers can not consist
emily complain of hard times or
unremunerative prices. They
are realizing more for their pro-
ducts, and their farms are
valued higher, than at any for
mer period within the past eigh-
teen years.
An order for 500, 600 worth of
automobile gas engines, placed
at Logansport, Ind, is to be can
celled in case of Bryan's cleo
ton. If everything that stands
still awaiting the result of No
vember 3 could be. reckoned up
the total would run into hun
dreds of millions.

Denver Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Aug. 5-Trade here last week
was very good and the market
closed higher. Good beef steers
are 10 to Is cents up and good
cows are fully a quarter higher
than at the close a week ago.
Feeders and stockers are firm.
Few good beef steers arrived
and no high prices realized.
Most of the fair to good steers
on sale brought $3.50 to $4.3O
but choice stuff would have
brought more. Good cows sold
at SO. 25 to S3.65 and choice cows
would have brought $3.75. Medi-
UNI cows sold around S2.75 to
$3. 25, and the poorer grades all
the way down to $1.25. Bulls
sold firm at $500 to 50. 35. Veal
calves are 25 to so cents lower
as the supply was liberal. Good
veals sold up to $500. Feeder
and stocker trade active to eX-
tent of supply but not many Of
fered. The demand is very good
here for. all classes and prices
compare we'll with eastern quota
tionS. Most of the fair to good
steers offered went at So. .25 to
SO. 60 with choice steers quotable
up to 4.OO and right fancy kinds
would bring little more. Sup
ply today light. Demand strong
and market firm despite eastern
declines.
Hogs sold at Sc. so today, the
market being firmer than a week
ago. Supply of hogs last week
was fair.
Sheep trade was very good
and prices about the same as
week ago, though the market is
hardly as firm. Good lambs sold
at Sc. 80, ewes at So. 80 and Utah
grass wethers brought "a. 10.
The Stock Yard company is max
ing extensive improvements in
the sheep division of the yards
in order to satisfactorily take
care of the increased business
expected here this fall and when
finished the equipment for hand
ling sheep at these yards will be
second to none. Sheep feeders
of this state have announced
their intention of buying their
feed lot supply at Denver this
fall, local packers also intend to
buy literally of fat stuff offered
and several eastern packers will
have buyers stationed here to
take the surplus, which insures
an excellent demand for all
classes of sheep and lambs and
an active trade is anticipated.

What Editors
are Saying.

The Democratic national con-
vention went to work to find a
man who had been defeated
more times for more Offices than
Bryan. They found him. His
name was Kern and he hailed
from Indiana. They nominated
him for vice president. Brighton
Blade.
So far as Mr.. Patterson is con-
cerned, the Supreme Court will
be his chief aim and object in
this falls campaign. The people
will need to arouse themselves
and be on their guard against
his baleful influence. The court
should be neither corporation
nor anti-corporation, it should
neither be Patterson nor anti
Patterson; but it should, and
will be, in a position to give
every individual and every cor
poration a fair and equal and
impartial hearing. And the best
way to do this will be to frown
at once upon these efforts to
pack the court in advance and to
render a verdict in November,
as was done two years ago, in
favor of an honest, Independent
and unbiased judiciary. Colo

How "Show Me" Paper Sizes
Up the Candidates.

Mr.. Taft has been variously
tried in the public service. Mr..
Bryan is untried. Mr.. Taft has
been doing, while Mr.. Bryan has
been talking. One is a man of
known performance; the other
is a man of promises only. Mr..
Taft has identified himself with
no issues that he hides; Mr..
Bryan conceals several that he
once advocated with the great
est energy. Mr.. Taft has no
record of defeat or failure; Mr..
Bryan has been twice defeated
in a national election by a large
electoral majority and a margin
of from 100000 to 300, 900 in the
popular vote. Mr.. Taft has had
long experience in high judi
cial positions; as cabinet Off
Ger, governor in the Philippines,
pacificator in Cuba and organizer
in the great work at Panama.
Mr.. Bryan has no such credit
mark. For the last twelve years
his business has been that of
presidential candidate and anti
administration politician. While
Taft has been busy in construc-
tive craftsmanship Bryan has
been a radical agitator, seeking
to pull down what has been done
so that he can shape national af-
fairs after his own rashly exper-
mental fashion. Taft points to
his record in carrying important
responsibilities. Bryan has nev-
er borne any. AS a worker in a
large sense Taft is known and
Bryan unknown.
Men can be judged by their
associates as well as by their
records. Mr.. Taft had the active
approval of Mckinley and has
that Of Roosevelt. He is in ac-
cord politically with Root, Fair
banks, Hughes, Cannon, Knox
and other men of distinction
who are sustaining, and have
long sustained, the heat and bur
den of the day. Bayan has had
for his political partners Weaver,
Altgeld, Tom Johnson, Tom Wat
son, James K. Jones, William J.
Stone, George Fred Williams and
men of this stamp. He has fused
with various parties, including
Greenback, Silver and Populist.

SPECIAL SESSION CALLED.
Nevada Legislature Meets to Consider
GoldfieId Situation.

Carson. New, Jan. 16.--The special
session Of the Nevada legislature called
by Governor Sparks met at noon yester-
day. After organization Governor
| Sparks message was read. In the SEN
ate the appropriation bill of the session
was passed. The only important action
taken was the passage of resolution
referring all bills that may be intro
duced relative to state rangers, consta b.
ulary or military, to special joint
committee.
There is question as to the legality
of the organization of the assembly.
The members, under ruling from the
attorney general, organized without
swearing in the speaker Robert Skaggs
In the senate all of the officers were
compelled to take the oath. As there
Is disposition to depose skaggs, in
case OF re-opening the question, it is
expected that lively fight will be had.
Governor Sparks, it is thought, will
endeavor to influence the passage Of a
state ranger law similar to that Of Tex
as, as he has the Texas law at hand,
and it has been read by number OF
the membesr- 1t is likely to meet with
strong opposition ia the lower house,
where the labor unions have strong

Largely Given Up to tho hsso'"R
Of Letters Said to Show That
Conspiracy Existed.

Portland, Jan. 18.--The government
Yesterday continued laying the founda,
tion OF The case against John II. Hal
and Edwin Mays.
Heney introduced some Do letters,
written from June, 1900, to Septem'
Der, 1902, by Hall, Mays, Loomis'
Stratiord and Putnam. More such let
ters will follow today.
Hall objected seriously to only one
letter, written by Secretary Hitchcock
to Special Inspector A. r. Greene, di-
rettIng Greene to investigate the
fences. Honey purpose Is to show
that this investigation was prompted
by settlers, who had appealed yainly TO
Hall to act against the fences. Hall
objects to the letter because q copy and
not the original letter has been offered
and because 1T is irrelevant. Judge
Hunt will decide the questions this
morning.
Unlike Hall, Mays raised numerous
objections In the course Of the day.
The steps In the governments evil
dence of conspiracy will be about as
follows:
First-To prove Hall and Mays had
frequent knowledge from protesting SET
tiers of the fences as early as March,
1900.
second-That Steiwer, Zachary and
Hendricks caused various persons to Ale
on land for their company, in order to
complete the company's enclosure Of
public land.
Third-That Hall and Mays took no
steps to prosecute the offenders, though
they had full knowledge OF the fencing
and the conspiracy for more than three
years.
At this stage, Steiwer is expected to
testify about the alleged understanding
by which Hall and Mays were not to
prosecute him and his associates. One
OF the terms Of this alleged agreement
was Setiwer's vote for Fulton.
Georgej ejBrownell is expected to testify
that Hall promised him immunity from
land fraud prosecution for his with
drawal from the contest for Halls Office.
