WAITE AND M'INTIRE.
THE COVERNOR AND EX-COV-ERNOR OF COLORADO. The New Republican Governor of Colorado I'.nilorses tlie Recommendations of His Predecessor and the Gamblers Ara Scared. The following' items taken from the Denver Road, indicate that the republicans of Colorado have captured a Tartar: * * * Gov. Mclntire failed to indorse Gov. "Waite's Mexican silver dollar idea. That is about all lie failed to indorse of the long string of reform measures advocated by the Populists. Mclntire is all right. Gee W hizz!! Won’t the money loaners. bankers and gamblers “holler” if the legislature carries out Me Intire's recommendations? * -i:- * One of the best moves Gov. Waite ever made was at the Mclntire reception when he joined the line of common people wi.o filed into the Brown palace to shake hands with the new governor. Not only did the old governor make a good hit, but the new governor showed himself more sagacious than the committee who had charge of the reception, by inviting the old governor to take a position on | the stand yvith him to help do the ! honors. The more we see of Mclntire i the more we are inclined to think he j is going to fool the snobs and Pochula crowd who .think they own him. Mclntire and Waite have struck up a warm friendship.
We listened attentively to Gov. McIntire when he delivered his message to the legislature. If we are able to size up the situation properly Gov. Mclntire is the possessor of occult powers that enable him to appreciate conditions and properly meet them, ilad Gov. Waite used the language he did when he referred to trust deeds and gambling the cry of “anarchy” would have gone up from all sides. People and public sentiment are queer commodities. Gov. Mein tire paid the Populist administration the highest sort of compliment by practically indorsing Gov 3 Waite's extra session demands. If the governor keeps up his lick the pawnbrokers and shylocks will hate even worse than they do Waite. * * * l First Banker —Say, that man MeIntire must be called off. His ideas about attachments are worse even than old Waite's. Second Banker —Yes, and to think we made him, too. Gambler —Well, boys, but he gave it to us worse than anybody, and we boosted harder than anybody to help elect him. Real Estate Shark —True, but see where he lands our crowd with his trust notions—why! it is awful. All Together—He’ll ruin the state and drive capital away. He is an anarchist and a worse Populist than old Waite! Editor The , Road —Ha! Ila!! Ila!!! (The Cheesman block topples over and Moffat, Kuntz; Chase, Fletcher, Loeet and George barely escape with their lives.)
