PLATFoRMiSTs AT DENVER DE.
TERMiNED TO FORCE REDEMP.
TlON OF PLEDGES

DENVER, Jan. 2S.-Some friction
exists between friends of Adams and
his leaders and the platformist com
bination over the senatorship. The
former insist that the latter should
throw the Pueblo candidate enough
votes to put him ahead of Speer, SO
as to neutralize out in the state the
effect of the mayors twenty-seven
votes. Naturally country newspapers
are commenting upon Speer's lead in
the race and the readers are more or
less influenced thereby. The combina.
tion of platformists are bent on fore.
ing the enactment of pledges made by
the Democratic party before the elec.
tion of a senator, has agreed to so
divide its twenty-one votes that the
sum of the Speer and the Adams sup
port at no time will equal the consti
tutional majority of fifty-one The
purpose, SO say the platformists, is
to avoid the possibility OF combina.
tion between the Speer and Adams
forces, whereby one or the other might
be elected until after the platform
promises have been redeemed.
Today's vote had little significance
although changes were numerous
Speer received twenty-five, Adams
eighteen, there being several absent

to Dawson and he is getting thirty

without interes. to recall the fact that
tomorrow will mark the l50th anniyer

parlson with the present revenue ol
nearly billion dollors. on his $40.
6O0, 900 revenue Gallatin proposed to
appropriate $7,3O0.00O yearly to paying
off the national debt. At this rate he
calculated that the interest and the
principal of the debt, amounting al
that time to $50 900 900, would be pait
in full in sixteen years.
The sum OF $65O,O00 OF the nations
total revenue came from the interna
revenue tax This was an anti Repub
lican tax, and Gallatin's policy involv
ed its abandonment. Taking out the
receipts from the internal tax ant
the amount set aside for debt payment
Gallatin had left from his yearly rev
enue $2,650.000 for the entire annua
expenses OF the government. He al
lowed $4,000 for the annual expense
of the army and $670.OO0 for the navy
Leaving about 81 100000 for the entire

In less than eleven years' time
while letting the internal taxes go, ant

The piers at knights Key and Pig

gasoline engines arrive to furnish the

completely washed into the ocean dur
ing the hurricane last fall, and 1t is

gangs of men are at work making the

The approach will be much stronger
this time that 1t was before, and 1t ia
thought that it will be able to weather
any gale that blows.
Trains will soon be running over the
extension. This is the reason that the
work is being pushed so rapidly. The
storm last fall delayed proceedings
considerably, but much of the time
has been made up by using extra large
forces of men.
