Show AS TO COLORADO. How will Colorado's electoral vote be cast is a question that is puzzling the politicians of that state, for it is'by no means certain that Mr. Hakkison will win, or that Mr. C 1. eve la. VD will win. The people of Colorado Colo-rado are decidedly in favor of free silver. , So pronounced are they in their "iews upon j this question that when Mr. II xi:ni'v?s selection was announced several republican journals at once published statement- that they would not support the i nominee. The news of fie nomination of the husbahd of Fraxkie For.soM bettered the political situation in no wise, for the Rocky Mountain Xch'x immediately bolted the nomination because of its inability to support a candidate so opposed to western interests. From all over the state come reports re-ports that both Hakkisox and Ci.cvei.axo will not receive the assistance of the old timers of the party. The latest is B. Clakk Wheelek of the Aspen Time, I who in :i recent speech said: 'M don't care if the XtpiHhiicon does s.y the democrats are in a minority aid that it is a scheme of theirs to ('own the rcpuhlican party in Colorado, it i- a send c!i."iie. and I xvant to go on racwaaa being againat Mr. Harrison." At )resent it seems as if the third parti', providing it nominates a man like Guesham, would carry the state. Should they not, then Colorado will go republican, the sentiment senti-ment against Cleveland being stronger than the republican dis.-atisfaction with Haki'vIxjn. The democrats had a chance to win there for the first time, but did not take advantage of the circumstance. |
