A Contributor Reviews His Schoolboy Effort in the Evening Star and Fully Sustains the Charges of the INDICATOR—Is There an Answei? C. 11. Coan Esq.: - I have seen jour epistle of date Oct. 23rd. 1803, pub lished iu the Pueblo Star. 1 have care fully and well portions tlyfo£ " Cft-dlßr j ~ space as those chauncet depew, I A the public "uole down fitl reply the verities of the case, trusting the while that the public will applaud my determination not to obtrude in this connection anything of a private or personal nature, contenting myself with a notice of those matters immediately in your atmosphere, which if ignored might be of hurtful tendencies. I shall now briefly examine your de fense to the charges of the Indicator that you have been both a malcontent and chronic place hunter since your very recent arrival In the county and state about two years ago. Tbe charge designated as No. i. is that you “wanted to be assistant prosecutor under Judge Gibson.” You respond by asking If editor or any one ever beard of j*our asking for the place. This response does not amount to the dignity of a denial and ii es sentially an admission that you sought the place at the hands of Judge Gibson. But you seek to create an impression j in the public mind that what was said | is without warrant touching this ac- 1 cusatiou. Hear then the proof: Don’t! you know that Judge C F. Smith, now | police magistrate, at your instance made a personal appeal to Judge Gib son for your appointment, strongly urging in your support, that you had rendered yeoman service for the party without money and without price and that you bad fairly earned such prefer ment? You remember that Judge Smith’s mission in your behalf was a fail ure. Did you ever hear any of the rea sons urged in resistance to Judge Smith’s importunities for you? Incline your populistic ear hitherward while I whisper: Judge Smith was appalled to learn that you was without any one of the essentia] qualifications for tbe station (l do not stop to particularize) and that instead of your services hav ing beeu rendered “without money and without price” you had been liberally. yes, lavishly, paid therefor either by Judge Gibson or tbe other candidates i upon the ticket. | In those early days, my dear Major, J you had some friends and again yet for a season thereafter. i I therefore very confidently refer every one who doubts me to them, and 1 have not tbe shadow of a suspicion but that each and all have heard your animadversions upon Judge Gibson for bis ingratitude in withholding this appointment from you. I shall for a season rest from labor upon No. 1. abiding the while in the confident as surance that I have furnished to you and all, incontrovertible evidence in its support. In support of charge No 2. your justice of tlid peace aspiration, I with very great confidence and pleasure make reference to the same channels of information cited in support of what haa been designated as No. 1. You concede that charge No. Bis true No. 4 stands half confessed; yet your letter seeks to becloud and befuddle. You cannot find a republican in the city of Pueblo but who will bear witness to your chronic, persistent solicitation for the nomination for city attorney; you made diligent quest everywhere for delegations; you actively sought the influence of prominent republicans; you saugbt to make a combine with Mr. Nicholas; you mads earnest en treaty and supplication to Mr. Lockin and Col. Abbey, and because they were honorable gentlemen and frankly told you the truth as to your status with the party, you turned upon them and roundly abused them. Everybody, Major, very thoroughly knows that you ceased the search for the nomination only after yon had •verwhflmlug testimony from prom inent members of the party in all sections of the city, that ignominious defeat would assuredly attend your candicacy in the convention, and this constitute* the sole reason why yonr name was not presented. If yen are In doubt ae to the positive accuracy of the praoediag recital, nek any republican here lest spring and be speedily disabused. Don't you recall the fact, Major, that so sooner had tbe city • lection been hoMsa then yon entered open n most active campaign for polios magistrate, and eodenyored to farther yonr oasKOdaey hy mmmllng BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1893. should, in all good conscience support you for police magistrate, when at the same time you well knew that you had done nothing to help Mr. Nicholas, having ceased to beseech aid for the nomination for city attorney only after being made painfully aware that you only “kicked against the pricks.” Let us see. You supported the re publican city ticket, did you? Yes? Well if you did you arc a shamefully maligned elector, for believe me, Major, there is uot an intelligent republican in Pueblo who believes you wben you protest that you supported tbe re publican nominees. 1 think if you will consult Dr. Utter and 1). M. Campbell they will tel* you that they thought you supported their candidacy and if you tell them that you did not support their ticket, you will excite their pro found astonishment. It was the surprise of everyone that you received a single voto in the coun cil. because of the universal belief that A\%^'^ sr . no,. wTniHianding your assertions to the contrary. [Wusu't you a candidate before Upton Post G. A. K. last December Tor Post Commander, and didn't Col. Gaines honorably defeat you? Didn't you seek tbe endorsement of the Upton Post delegation for Senior Vice De partment Commander, and didn’t Dr. Paul receive every vote of that delega tion?—Kn.J Didn't you cause Adam Walk aud other delegates to the 1892 republican county convention to be importuned in the interest of your candidacy for representative in tbe Gcnerai As sembly? Your memory may fail you, for as you cannot fail to notice I begin to materially augment tbe numbers of your solicitations. The names of Mr. Wicks and Mr. Leonard were before the convention but before a vote had been taken, just here, at this supreme moment I saw a gentleman in earnest conversation with you—you had quitted your station in tbe hall and had approached that of tbe gentleman in question; your features disclosed great excitement and longing solicitude; my attention was arrested and I narrowly watched you. ’I he gentleman with whom you conversed left you and crossed over tbe railing iu tbe southwest corner of tbe convention; I saw him talk with several delegates and beard him represent that you desired your name presented for representative and that tbe gentlemen use their in fluence for you; I soon suw the gentle man return to you and heard him tell you that tbe delegates seen thought it too late and that nothing could be done. Then you swore and used obscene language. Now that I recall these particulars doesn’t your memory come to your rescue? No? Then I must refer the matter to the gentleman in question and the delegates importun ed. You very distinctly remember the whole transaction I trow, but whether you do or not is of no importance for the recital just concluded is predicated upon and constitutes actual facts. I add just another chronic attack. You have been announcing ever since the first campaign in which you were a paid participant that you would be a candidate for prosecuting attorney to succeed Judge Gibson. Kb? This a maliguant falsehood? You are a warm admirer of Representative Lennard, arent you? He don’t believe you voted for him for it was a matter, of remark immediately after election in 1892 that you remained too long in the booth to have voted straight, and that fact, coupled with pre election threats very fully satisfied many well informed re publicans of your recreancy. You made a campaign last fail did you? Did you get paid? Your trans portation was all furnished yon and the cash that the county central com mittee paid you, and which was most happily called expense money, more than exceeded the receipts for your professional services for the same length of time since your advent here. But I heard you extolling Hon. Platt Wicks and the effort he made in the legislature for fair treatment from the railways: You particularly narrate the awful things you saw while lobbying for Mr. Wicks’ bill, upon the floor of the House; your laudations of yourself for heroic efforts put forth for Mr. Wicks’ Bill haye oftentimes excited remark; and you have been accorded some credit for mythical services rend ered and expenditures made. Dear Major, how much did you expend? You well know that you did not pay one cent of expense, either going, while there, or for a return to Pueblo. You did not leave this city until you had more money handed you than was necessary to covsr evary legitimate ex pease, handed you by friends of the BUI and you contributed not a farthing, but utilised tbe necessities of the situa tion to bleed the friends of the Bill of n sum suffleient to enable you to visit Denver and have a royal good time. Some evidence In support hsreof may he found In your recountal of the plaoe of yonr strongest efforts for our vedenbteMe champion, Mr. Wicks.

Accept, my dear air which ever aspect presents itself of the dilemma, and still you seem to be impaled. Hut Major, you are masquerading “in these last days” as the especial friend of labor and of the toiling millions. Labor aefcks to add to the list of her champions those with clean hands ami pure hearts, those unimated by uusclfish friendship. For tbe blatant demagogue labor has the same niche that has beeu provided for tbe knave or fool. Did you once affiliate witli the Re publican League of East Pueblo? Yes? Then you remember the action taken by it to provide sustenance for the laborers «f the city upon West Fourth street in the very recent past; you re call that the chairman, Frank E. Taylor, had appointed a committee to draft resolutions expressive of the sense of the League upon the qucstioii of tlie letting of woik upon said street by the ilay rather tlinn by contract; (lint the committee presented strong resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, call ing upon the county commissioners to let said work l»y the day; to limit labor thereon to residents of the county and thut only one team belonging to the sumc owner should be employed. You was a member of the committee to present the resolutions to the Hoard; Mint the latter unanimously acceded to the request and appointed n superin tendant to carry out the spirit of the resolutions. You remember thut soon after you obtained from au unfortunate mail, who had fallen into the toils of the law. the only wagou, team, and harness he possessed. These constitut ed vour fee as an nttorney for inter posing as defense m his behalf. Why did you have your son, living under your owu roof, take this selfsame team, wagon, and harness and go upon that work and obtain from the public treasury over thirty dollars, which you knew of right belonged to other team owners who, in their own proper per son would have been only too glad to have had this labor wherewithal to have fed their suffering families? Why did you cause your son to con duct this whole matter as though the team was his? Did you remember the League's actiou and the reckoning labor would require Bhould the facts ever be disclosed No wonder you winced when Chair man Morse was hard upon your trail. Were you not glad that he did not know the whole truth in his masterful Bes semer response to your twaddle and vapid mouthings? Ido you overmuch honor by this extended rejoinder. Personally your communication doeß not merit notice where you are known. It is only, sir, because the populists have houored you ns an exponent and and representative that you need be noticed at all. There is that round about the populistic movement that might catch the unwary but honest citizen. If I have shown by fair inference and deduction that your fortunes have been cast with the people’s moyement from motives characteristic of the mal content and chronic office hunter, and because of unrequited aspirations else where, then 1 shall rest in the confident belief that your power to lead astray and beguile honest men has been some what minimized. And in conclusion, my dear Major, let me assure you that 1 shall lay about me to ascertain if 1 may wliat there is behind the nttack on W. A. Moses, evm to the extent of an in terview with C. C. Merrill, Judges Gib sou and Klwell, and un examination of the district court records in a recent criminal cause wherein you figured as an attorney. You do an injustice, my dear major, to the editor of the Indica toh when you impute the authorship ot the editorial in last week’s issue to any one other than himself. 1 am. my dear Major, Your most obedient servant, Reviewer.

He served on news paper row for two years, and while so engaged attracted the attentieu of the offioers conducting the prose cution ef tiie famous whisky ring. By them he was retained ua con fidential secretary throughout those celebrated trials.
