President Cleveland is killing bis
party ms fast as tlic force of circum
stances will permit. llis last aud most
deadly blow was the vetoiug of the
seigniorage hill.
PopoCRACY is the curse of Colorado at
this time and should not lie perpetuated,
uot even countenanced in city elections
It is a plain duty the people of this
city owe to themselves to down every
populist who aspires to office.
Amono the twenty three criminals in
Canon City who are sluted for a hearing
before the board of pardons, next Mon
day is Alfred Packer, the notorious
man-eater. His excellency in the guber
natorial chair should purdon Alfred aud
use him on occasions instead of (railing
out the militia.
The Lanmr Sparks drop* a timely
hint to a class of gullible newspapers as
follows: -‘Snide advertisers, who arc
rich in promises hut poor in their fulfill
ment. are making the usual spring as
sault on the newspapers, and they have
succceeded in working several Colorado
publishers who should know better."
Tiik enterprise of Burt Hamilton, the
Denver disciple of General Coxey is
commendable aud the cause is worthy
of the assistance of the public, for if
the follower of Coxey succeeds in
raisiug the 5,000 men or any part of the
number he will bs ridding the state of
juet so much undesirable humanity.
Burt should be assisted.
The fact that President Cleveland
vetoed the Bland hill will buve its
effect in the April municipal elections
all over the country. Here in Pueblo
democrats deem it a duty they owe to
tboinselves and to Iheir neighbors to
refuse to longer coutinue with their
purty and will vote the republican
ticket. And they are right.
Tiik attack bciug made nil over the
state against the populists in the pres
ent campaign is not persecution. It is
idleness to say that it is. It is simply
an effort to nil the state of the ad
vocates of a wicked and short sighted
political policy that has brought odium
on the people of the commonwealth
and made them the laughing stock of
the whole country, it is a contest
wherein personal preferment must be
sacrificed iu u great measure to the
good of the state at large Pueblo can
set a good example by indorsing the
republicau ticket.
The city of Pueblo and the county
of Pueblo are going to join hands in
the commendable purpose of damming
Dry creek in order to prevent another
disastrous llood like the one that del
uged the central portion of the city
lust summer. Dry creek is well named,
for it is no creek at all, simply an
•rroya extending through Irving Place,
but on occasions of cloud Versts it sud
denly becomes a roaring river, irre
sistible aud daugerous.
That Injunction.
The constitutionality of the consoli
dation election of Bessemer and Pueblo
was argued iu the supreme court last
Monday, .John Waldron appearing for
T. J. Dowen, the uppellant, and City
Attorney Nicholas and Betts & Vates
acting for the defense. The court took
the matter under advisement and will
hand down a decision to-day. It is
within the scope of probabilities that
Waldron will wiu the case, and if the
unexpected should happen what a
mighty flutter there would be in
political (|uarters iu these bailiwicks.
AFTER CONGRESSMAN BELL.
Some Advice to the Steel Workers.
A few weeks ago the workingmen at
the steel work* of this city sent a
monster petttion to Representative Bell,
the demo-pop congressman from this
district, asking him to vote against the
ruinous Wilson bill; they did this that
tfiev might not be forced to accept the
Euglisb scale of wages which must
follow in case that bill becomes a law.
They also expected that he would at
least stand by the people he is. un
fortunately, representing, and that a
matter of such vital importance to so
many thousands of people in his district
would ne heeded. But he ignored the
appeal to vote against the Wilson bill
and openly insulted every signer of
that petition when he deliberately voted
for it. Can the workingmen of the
steel works let this insult go by un
rebuked? This spring’s election will be
the first chance that they can get a
whack at htm and his party, but a
crashing defeat to his party will be a
warning of what he can expact next

BESSEMER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 31,1894.
A SURE WINNER.
EVERYTHING POINTS TO THAT!
END.
The hated combine Democrats don’t
like it, populists don't like it, nobody
likes it -The men who made it
don’t like it—A review of the city
election of April 4, 1H93, and its
bearing on the present contest.
The republican party is cemented
firmly and held together not only by
reason of a Hlroug desire to down pop
ulism but also from the fact
that the democrats have joined
hands witli the third party aud the
combine is made to knock the re
puhlicaus out for uext fall us well as
for this spring. There is a great deal
at stake, and us opposition begets op
position. the republicans ure going into
the campaign with the vim and
earnestness that an army would evince
in entering into the defense of a strong
hold against an enemy.
If the result of the city election of
one year ago could be taken as a
criterion there would be grave ap
prehensions felt for the party now in
power, but there rre redeeming features
which more than offset the seeming
discrepeucics of the election of April
4, 18ft3.
The official return* of that election
show that the combined vote of Royal
and Utter, the democratic and .populist
candidates, was 1,805, Royal having
received 869 votes uud Utter 936 votes,
while Strait received 1323 votes, or
482 less thun the combined vote of his
two opponents. There would not be
much encouragement iu these figures
if the fusionista would stand tlrm and
could depend upon their ipioto of the
women's vote, but they will uot hold
their own in either instance. It is not
too much to conjecture that at least one
third of the democrats will vote with
the republicans: the signs of the times
indicate it and any one who has mixed
in politics to any exteut will hear out
the assertion. A deflection of one
third of the democrats would of itself
chuugc the result and there will be a
tremendous falling off because the
mixed ticket is devoid of principle and
many good democrats detest it.
Nor is the dislike couflned to demo
crats alone. There are a great many
middle-of-the-road populists who are
deeply chagrined at having been led
out of the straght path übd who de
clare that a victory won by the com
bine would be empty of honors to
them as they have been shorn of their
ideutity as a party and the democrats
would claim all the glory; so there is
sore distress in the populist camp and
it is certain beyond a reasonable doubt
that many au erstwhile republican will
return to his old standard in the
present conflict.
The vote cast at the election last
spriug. 3,128 will be greatly augmented,
of course, by the addition of the new
political factor, but it is ouly fair to
presume that the sume causes aud the
same prejudices which will influence
the men will govern them to a very
large exteut at least. A ‘‘fellow feel
ing” with their male kindred will
most assuredly be a marked char
acteristic of the vote.
The vote of the city will he still in
creased and in a more marked degree
by the addition of the voice of Bes
semer being added by reason of an
nexation. But Bessemer is republican.
It is naturally so aud will assuredly
stand ib the republican ranks this
time. True, Dempsey was elected
mayor one year ago 011 the democratic
ticket over his competitors, Colvin on
the republican and Williams ou the
populist ticket, but that proves nothing
more than the fact that the republicans
were all split up in one of their
periodical rows as they usually are in a
home affair; but now they are voting in
Pueblo and there is a Arm resolve on
eyery hand to wheel into line and vote
it straigbt.-
Political Pointers.
Cbairman Drake makes an efficient
and popular chairman.
Notwithstanding the uspersions of
the Press, T. It. Jones numbers lots of
frieDds among all classes of people of
the city aud believes he is hut doing his
duty in working for the success of the
republican party. The fact that he is
so closely identified with the labor
unions, he says, has nothing to do in
the case.
Cash Henderson is- one of the most
sanguine men in town as regards the
success of his party, he having made
a bet to the effect that the lowest
candidate on the republican ticket will
receive 500 more votes than the highest
candidate ou the fusion ticket.
Each qualified elector will vote for
one candidste for alderman from each
of the seven wards in Pueblo and for
two candidates in tie eighth ward,
comprising what was Bessemer.
Judge Collins is just now sought
after by the ladies, he having gained
mack favor among them as being aa
eloquent and instructive political orator.
Tho republicans of Pueblo never
|«M«trt K> MMk kMHqli
former city election ad that which
marks the present campaign. Their
greatest deure is to keep down the
populists ami they will succeed
It ia estimated that fully 80 per cent
of the women of Pueblo who go to the
polls will vote the republican ticket
The independent labor party which
sprung up so gaily only two moon* ago
and which was to cut such a wide
swath in city affairs was ignominiously
swallowed up bj the combine, ae it was
originally intended it should be by the
wily schemers who organized it. Those
who went into the thing with au honest
motive are now mukiug a just rsar.
A few well known populist voices
which were rnmpaut lust fall are
strangely silent now. Not once have
they been raised in behalf of the dear
people. Experience is a dear teacher.
Bessemer will whoop up a big ma
jority for the republicau ticket.
“U. \V. GV has a good letter in this
issue of the Indicator which will re
pay a careful perusal.
The women of Pueblo will deal the
liquor element a hard blow in this elec
tion. No wonder the saloons fought
bnrd against their franchise.
A certain democrat was hauled over
the coals at the fusiou meeting in the
city hall Thursday night for saying he
intended to support almost the entire
republican ticket, and will be read out
of the party. On the sume charge
there will be many a democrat aud
populist read out of the parly.
Grover Cleveland has manufactured
lots of repuhlicaus votes iu Pueblo.
The Republican Candidates.
J. M. Woodard from tbe Ist has been
a resident of Pueblo for twelve years
and this is the first time he lias ever
run for office. He is engaged in the
limestone business and has the name of
beiug a good business man and a good
citizen.
Frank P. Lauuon from the 2nd is the
proprietor of the Launou foundry now
being rebuilt after the loss by the a
year ngo. He carried his ward against
great oppoaitiou aud ia one of tbe most
active men on the ticket.
W. A. Bryson who represents the
3rd is the popular manager of Hughes
Bros, lumber yard and a member of
the present city council.
Harvey Birch is also a member of
tbe city council and is certain to be his
own successor from the 4th. He is
engaged iu the livery business and has
an extensive and favorable acquaintance
John F. Bishop wha aspire* lor elec
tion from the sth i'b au architect by
profession and for the time will direct
his skill into the political channel and
build his way into office. He is a
worthy young man und would make an
excellent alderman.
O. H. Wheeler is making the race
from the 6th. He is a clerk iu the
Wicks shoe store und has the best of
assurance of election.
Alex McGregor from the 7th is au
employe of the D. Jc R. G. is popular
among railroad men as well as the
public in general and is sure of election.
M. Williams aud R. J. Bruner arc
both makiug the race ou the same
ticket from the Bth, the Bessemer
ward, there being two aldermen to
elect. Mr. Williams is a man of uu
usual capabilities for the office aud
made a splendid record as county com
missioner. He is a man of much ex
perieuce aud has made a large eircle
of acquaintances iu his real estate and
insurance business.
R. J. Bruner has served a term a*
alderman and his friends claim can win
the race ou the record he made. He is
a very pleasant geDtlcman and ia at
present eugaged in the real estate
business.
Ask for Pardons.
N. Tucker aud Joe Whits for larceny,
aud Lem Smith for perjury, ail of
Pueblo county, ate among the convicts
at Canon City who will appeal to the
hoard of pardons for freedom.
Indian Joe who is under sentence of
death for murder will appeal through
his attorneys to the governor to have
the sentence commuted to imprisou
nient for life.
Excites Pity.
The significance of the hard times
can be well understood by those who
have occasion to witness the sad sight
which presents itself at the gates of
the steel wotks almost daily. Not in
frequently from 100 to 200 men as
semble at the gates before sunrise
anxiously watching for an opportunity
to go to work, ami will stand there for
perhaps three hours while hope dwindles
away. The anxiety of mind and the
exposure they endure is actual hard
ship, and yet they willingly take their
chances to be called to work, knowing
that if they get a job they must labor
twelve hours and receive only from
$1.30 to $1.40 a day. These men know
what it means to be without a cent.
A petition signed by all the rosidenU
of block 49, being the block jut east
of the city hall, will be presented to the
mayor aad city oounctl praying than to
■ot issue licsnae granting the salt of
intoxicating tat said block.
