The Republicans of this county are
anxiously waiting for the evening of
October Is when they will meet in this
city and hear the political issues dis
cussed fairly by men, who are thor;
, oughly posted on the conditions of the
country under both Democratic and
Republican rule.
Hon. J. C. Burger, Republican candi-
date for congressman-nt-la large and one
of the brightest men in the state and
man that has a record that is both
clean and enviable, will be one of the
speakers. He has fine command of
language and has the happy faculty of
making his hearers understand the most
complex questions. He is gaining in
popularity every day and has been as
sured by the leading Democratic papers
of the state that he suits them and
they see no reason for trying his oppon
ent.
Still another of the speakers for the
evening will be Hon. George L. Hodges,
candidate for attorney general. He is
thoroughly qualified for the high place
and has reputation of being absolute
vi fair in all his dealings. He makes
friends by the scores at every meeting
he has attended this year and he will
be given the place by good majority.
State Senator John T. Stephen, for
merly an engineer on the Colorado Mid
land road and one of the most popular
railroad men in the state will be the
third of the speakers for the evening.
He was sent to the state legislature by
the railroad men Of his district and
they have never had occasion to re-
gret the step they took in the matter.
He has been true to their interests on
every question and is better liked to-

fact that this is presidential year

in the chief justiceship. Chief Justice
Fuller is seventy five years old and
has been eligible to retirement on full
pay since his seventhieth birthday.
He enjoys excellent health and appears
to be good for many a long year on
the bench still, but after the honora-
Bile record and the long term which he
has already enjoyed it is not to be sup
posed that he will desire to continue
Indefinitely.
Justice Fuller is an ardent democrat

but that Justice Fuller .sould retire,

he is reaching an age when he is enti-
