When it came to ruling the ditn >cratic convention last Saturday
it looks as if “Majah” Degree Regennitter with his bUck snake
drove right over Colonel Press Committeeman Soxia It was very
fitting that the advertisement of Uncle Tom’s Cabin with the pictures
of Simon Legree and his “lash" should greet the delegates.
The Denver Post is now supporting Charles Hughes for the
United States Senate with as much vim and vociferation as it did
Hon. Simon Guggenheim two years ago. The democrats then
charged that this support was the result of SvaluableS sconsiderations
And there are thousands of people who believe that this change of
heart on the part of the Post is not the result of love for Hughes as
it is a money consideration. Hughes has opened his barrel and it
looks as if the Post had run its hand down as far as the bunghole and
helped itself It cannot say too mean things about its former love.
Perhaps Hughes was willing to pay a larger price than the other
would. At any rate he went fishing for the Post and knew what
kind of bait to use and how much it would take to make the catch.
A rousing republican rally will be held in the Opera House,
Monday evening October at which time Hon. John W. Spring
er, candidate for Presidential Klector; Hon. James C. Burger, can
didate for Congressman-at-Large; Hon. George L Hodges, candi
date for Attorney General, and J. W. B. Smith, Candi
da e for District Attorney will make addresses. On Tuesday, October
2oth, the same gentlemen will hold a rallv at Georgetown. On
Thursday, October 22, 1908, Willis V. Elliott and Ward Bannister
of Denver will hold a meeting at Silver Plume. The public in gen
eral, men and women, in fact all persons interested in the contin
nation of gt>od substantial government are invited to listen to these
distinguished exponents of patriotic doctine.
In its Georgetown news column, the Gazette of this week makes
the assertion regarding Judge Flor Ashbaugh that does not reflect
credit upon the editor of our local contemporary. It has attempted
<0 arouse the prejudice of the people of Georgetown against him by
giving sanction to a rumor that can find no one for its father when it in.
sinuates that the Judge has nj use for Georgetown nor its inhabitants
When the matter was called to the attention of Judge Ashbaugh he
declared emphatically that he never directly < r
indirectly made such a statement nor that he has
never entertained such a thought. The people of Georgetown know
him too well as a gentlemen of courtesy, integrity and fair ie**s to give
the slightest credence to such a report and will resent it at the polls
on the day of election by giving a rousing vote. Wll the Gazette
name the person who ever heard him make such a remark as it has
seen fit to accredit him with ?
The Siftings-News has no fault whatever to find nor criticisms
to make on account of outside papers sending representatives into this
district and getting large write-ups from mining companies for a valu
able consideration. It is their right to do so and it is a business en
terprise. Nor does tins paper deny the right for any mining com
pany to advertise whenever, wherever, however and as costly as it
may desire. But it does object and most severely condemn such as.
do so and then expect the local papers to boost the camp fifty two
weeks in the year, mention their properties under all favorable cir
• unistances, oftentime spending a lot of valuable time in getting some
apparently small mining story correct, saying nothing about the short
comings and the unfavorable side and then have them send a full
clipping from the outside papers with the modest request “to publish
this clipping (gratuitous) for the benefit of the public.’’ If this is
not the personification of cheek and gall where can it be found. This
paper ha> received several personal requests to publish such articles
complimentary. It has received several marked copies of papers
; rom those who have paid for the articles published outside the county.
The local papers of this city have at all times been loyal to the min
ing interests. They have done their full duty regardless of pecuniary
reward. They are glad to see the people publishing through the coun
try the merits of their properties. But when this is done and the
local papers are asked to repr nluce these articles without any com
pensation, it shows a lack ot appreciation of the local papers or a lack
of common business courtesies. The Mining Record gave the camp
a first class write up. They gave the patrons full and overflowing val
ue for what they got. The managers would no doubt endorse the posi
tions taken by the local papers, that they should receive a liberal pat
ronage from the companies that they boost in and out of season
and all the year round.
