In testimony whereof. I have hereunto set my hand and affixed the great seal of the S!ai« of Colorado, at the City of Denver, this third day of AotfttSt. A. L>. 1W, ' A. H. MrOAFFF.Y. (Seal.) Secretary of State. Always Take the “Pie.” One t f the most remarkable traits of the democratic party is its williugnee* always to fuse with anything or anybody. In our own little county it has been fus ing for the past four years with the pop ulists, independent*, mugwumps, every body, and the most remarkable thing about it is, after the election it is found the democrats occupy nil the office* thrit have any “pie” nttached to them. Here in the county this fall it is proposed by them again to fuse with everybody in general, but the silver republicans in particular, but the commissioner and representative must be democrat*. The “pie” must l>e under control you under stand, but the glory is to bo distributed among the free silver advocate*. For monumental gall give us a democrat. In state affair* Mr. Teller and bis henchmen proponed to turn over the re publican party eotact to the democrats, and so ?nr us it appears at this time the remuneration w.m to have been the serin tors hip. The G. O. P. did not turn over to nr v remarkable extent, nnd as soon as the Teller-Sterenson-Eddy-Denver coni bin© could catch their breath, they start * I in to form a silver party m order to try to get something to trade. The sit uation is just tlii*. Not being able to hamile the republican organization, tney want to control the Teller republicans, or silver party, and have taken possession of that organization. Now they are look ing for terms from the democrat*or pop- j nlist*. Failing in that they will doubt less approach the republicans. The present aspect is that they do not know “where they are at,’" The democrats iusist upon the gover nor, and that means the control of the patronage of the state, of course. That’s democratic. The silver republicans know that the result will bo they will be left out in the cold with no “pie.” That hurt*. They have tried that Indore and got left. Now democrat* all over the stale are en dorsing Mr. Teller, but a close study of the nominees, will show that they tire all democrat*. They expect to be elected by Teller republican votes, and will probably succeed. When they one© get poeMwsion of the legislature, there is a faint jxHuibilitj/, so very faint that a democrat will nearly collapse if you incut ion it, that some old time democrat might suddenly take n notion that he would add dignity to the senate. Mr. Teller was politely informed at Chicago: “There are too many good men in our own party;** nnd the chances ore it would be repeated in the lcgislatuie They love him now, very very much, but wait and see. If there are any silver re publicans iu the state of Colorado that believe for a moment that Mr. Teller will l>e elected to the senate by a democratic legislature, we are sorry for them, that is all. It is not our light and we do not {wrticularly care, but we wish to cnll their attention, the silver republicans,to the situation. If you are laughed at bye and bye, do not get angry, for you have been warned and certainly ought to know by experience how far you cun trust too democrat—after election. To Republican Voters. Denver, Colo., Aug. IG, 189 G. To the Editor of T«amak Register, Dear Sir: —Referring to tho recent controversy in the republican state cen tral committee, I wish to call attention to the following facts: Ist. Nobody questions the regularity nor legality of the meeting of the com NUMBER 12. uiitteo held in Denver on the 20th of July, 1800. 2d. Nobody questions thnt one side in that meeting had an tmpbutic and de cisive majority. 3d. False reports of a prejudiced preps may have created throughout the state the impression that the meeting of the committee was unfair and not represen tative. In this line it is asserted thnt the committee for that meeting was packed w ith proxies. The following table copied from the official roll call of* that meeting, should dispel uuy such im pression: McKinley itee Bryan i tea Present in person 24 10 By proxy 24 21 Total 48 37 While this table shows that the Mc- Kinley people had more proxies than the Bryan people, yet they hud fewer in pro l>ortion to their total number. I have tuken part in many political gatherings, and 1 assure you thnt I never participated in one thnt was more fairly organized or conducted than this one, and 1 believe that all fair minded people will agree with me that the minority ought to submit, or not insist upon be ing the “Republican Party” of Colorado. How ever, they held w hat they assume to call “a meeting of the republican state centra! committee,” in Denver on the 12th day of August. 1896. It is notorious thnt m this meeting proxies were assumed to I*> held from jtersons who have not lived in the state for more than u year, for in stance. C. M. Corlett claimed to hold the proxy from Mrs. J. 11. Keidiuan, of Sa guuche county, but that lady has lived in Chicago for a year and a half. In other instances persons boldly imperso nated members of the committee who were absent, for instance, a woman de liberately protended to be Mrs. S, K. Hitchcock, of Costilla county, but thot l idy w as at home and no one in the com mittee held her proxy. It is not the purpose of the true re publicans of Colorado to in uny degree countenance, or ally themselves with those people who are supporting the national democratic nominee. To this end all good republicans are warned to take no part in the primaries or conventions to bo held under the call for a missnamed “Republican State Con vention” to be hold on Septembers, 1896, and signed by Richard Broad, Jr., as chairman and W. D. Todd as secretary. They are also warned against signing a pretended call for a state convention of republicans on September 3, 1896. The regular Republican Convention will l>e held in Colorado Springs on Sep tember 30,1896. It is easy to confuse the two dates, as they sound much alike. Iu self defence to the republican party noue will be admitted to the republican convention at Colorado Springs on Sep tember 30, 1896, who is elected in any primary or county convention prior to September 15, 1896.
