REPUBLICANS MAKE GOOD.

Just as an illustration of how the
Democrats fail to make good as COM
pared with the Republicans, atten-
ton should be called to the appropria-
ton for the Pueblo State Fair. Under
BuchtePs administration $4,000 was
appropriated, every dollar of which
was paid, for premiums at that fair.
Under the present administration an
appropriation of $4,000 was made
not one dollar of which has been paid.
Farmers and stock raisers who have
been in the habit of competing for
these prizes were disappointed and
they have never secured them when
they won them during a Democratic
administration. The facts are the
money during a Democratic admins
tration goes for salaries insted Of for
the benefit Of the state at large and
the people of the state.
