The major I itv of women me decidedly in favor of temperance. Last spring in Kansas it was found most of them voted with the Republican party. The man who neglects his family will stand but little show of election as far as the female vote goes. Many of the women of our State will be eager and active in political matters, and to be contrary will vote exactly opposite to their husbands and brothers.

Others will pay but little attention to the study of which party is right or wrong, but will vote just as does.

and they propose by placing one casing in another to bring oil, gas and water from the same well if all be found. There is little doubt from indications that they will soon have a flowing oil well before they go many feet further down. At a depth of 330 feet they have a flow of gas with a pressure of sixty I mju mis to the square inch. Last Thursday night in the presence of a large crowd they lighted the gas which produced a flame 0 feet high. They to go down about H.OOj feet in order to determine what is under them.

There is no doubt but the sacir condi i tions exist on this side of Grand Mesa. There are continuous veins of coal on i the Mesa side from here to the head of the North Fork. Last summer an attempt was made in Delta county to organize a company fur the purpose of making the same experiments in the Gunnison valley, but the hard knocked out the undertaking.

I.v last DvcVfl, lWtl) POPULISMDEDL Tlac Show bal Very Few onnfioN Carried in fi. By Followers of Mm. The elections hast week clearly proved one fact, and that is the fact that the isionary principles and cries of repudiation anarchy indulged in the Populists are dead. A few of the smaller counties in Colorado gave even larger Populist votes this year than last. This is particularly noticeable in the western tier of counties, but the State went overwhelmingly Republican.

In Kansas but a few of the counties where the Greenbackers once had their strongholds went Populist. The state oSiccrs elected are all Republican, and almost every county went Republican. In Virginia where the Populists sent their best speakers and a large amount of money, the state went Democratic by alxmt GO.COO. In Nebraska the Populi6t6made slight gains, which was no doubt due to the fact that the Democrats had recently endorsed Cleveland, which caused the Bryan following to bolt. In Denver when it beeawe known that the county and most of the state had shown their of Governor Waite.

Holden, and their attempts to ruin the State, business at once picked up. produce of every kind ad vane ed in price, and mining stocks rose from three to five These facts clearly prove that the majority of the people in Colorado and Kansas are not satisfied with the revolutionary actions of Governor Llewelling and Waite, and prefer the better times we enjoyed under a Republican admin istration In the elections of the East of course the Populists arc not a factor, but the results clearly show that the people do not approve of policy, as everywhere that elections were held the Republicans got everything, even New Jersey which never went Republican before in the history of the State. Ohio's election clearly shows who will be the next President of the United States. We arc glad that we never voted any ticket but the Republican, and if Sena tors Teller. Wolcott.

Party is right in it in Plaindealer Yes, dear, right in the soup. The Washington Post comments editorially oa the situation in Colorado. It says, in part: is nothing but the best of feeling in the East and all over the country for the welfare and prosperity of Colorado. It is true that the opponents of free silver, by their successful effort in bringing about a suspension of the purchase of silver and indefinitely postponing further coinage, are regarded almost in the light of conspirators against one of the great industries of the Centennial state, but the question here involved was of a national rather than sectional character, and it had to be settled on na tional rather than sectional lines, and the fact remains that, while Colorado may have Suffered thnralu; it n-ne no unfriendlinef'to the people of the silver states that all all these things were done. Colorado has really fared worse at the hands of the Populists of that state than by the action of Congress.

She can the temporary depression of her silver interests, but even the wealth of other splendid resources would avail little so long as the wernment of the commonwealth was lodged in an administration which had neither credit at bone nor abroad, and now we all know how manfully the issues were met on Tuesday last, there is no friend of good government who will not rejoice at a result which foreshadows the release of Colorado from a yoke of misrule, and which cannot fail to unlock the hoarded capital that is now lying idle, and open wide tho doors to millions of investments from abroad." Rev. Gill of the Methodist church will introduce a cow feature in the Sunday evening services.
