The first election in Colorado alter its admission in 1876 was held in Octoher, The national campaign was at ts height. Indianaand Ohio, then O tober states, had divided honors between the two parties, and desperate cfforts were mado by each to secury the pres- tige of a vietory in Colorado. Routt commanded the republicans and was elected the first governor of the Cen- tennial state. The sctual result of the election was not definitely known until the eve of the November olection. The democrats persistently claimed thestate, bulldozed the press agents and succeeded in keeping the issue in doubt until its effect on the presidential contest was lost. The eloction of Routt, despite the tremendous odds pitted agaiost him in 1876, proved his great qualities as a leader, In calling him to the front agnin the republicans propose to score @& triumph surpussing that of fourteen yours ago. HE SITUATION IMPROVING. Reports from the financial centars n - dicate that the liberal disbursements from the United States treasury duving | the past week have had the hoped-for effect in the money market thestres has basn mater and thero is a rostoration of confide that is reassuring asto the immadiate future. Thiswillbs accepted as vindi- cating the course of tho treasury, but it alsoshows that the danger of panic was oxaggerated. Senator Sher- man ex pressed the opinion inthesenate a fewdays ago that the financial sare was manufactured, *“gotten up by b by bullsand bears and various k animals who practiced thei oxchanges of New York,"andhe pr dicted that all the apparent dificulties in the monetary situation would settle themselves ina little v | vori- fication of Mr. Sherman’s view seoms to be now taking plice, for as a matter of fact thero has been no sevious financial disturbance in the country at large; what disturbance there was has been confined to New Yorlk, and thos responsible for it there having learned that the 8- ury has gone 1o the extent of its ability under existing laws torelieve the ma ket, will probably not continue those practices by which sich disturbances are munufactured. There is conse- quently reason toexpect that the finan- clal situation will go on improving and thil the supply of money will be found ample for moving the crops and moeting: the large demand of the business of the countryat this season. But the fact remains that the ultimate relations bo- tween the treasury and the monoy mar- Ket, involving at vital timus the depond- ence of the lutterupon the former and encouraging manufactured financial dis- turbances, is an unfortunate condition. Ono bad effect is o muke baunkers less carcful than they wonld othervise be, and as a consequence speculators are allowed more latitude than it is safe or just to the legitimate business interests of the country to allow them. The large and dangerous power lodged in the discretion of the scere- tary of the treasury isa far more serious ureof the existing system. In the ntcase it is not questioned that the uy hus kept strictly within the law, but what vecourse will there be after the effects of this strainedrelief for a steained situgtion have been ex- hausted? The treasury must atonco be- 2in 1o recover into its vaults the funds it is now distributing, and asit issim- ply paying cortain s amounts of ob- ligations in advance it will hz to di- minish its disbursements for the uext twelve months proportionately, It can- not, at least until arother year, repeat the present expedients of vedeeming bonds and anticipating intervest. The large new expenditures authorized by congy will not permit the treasury to dothese things. For the next twelve months, therefore, it would seem plain that the money mavket cannot depend upon the ftreasury for special relief should an exigency arise, and if thisfact shall be genorally realizad the effect miy be good in putting a chock upon such speeulation ns islavgely responsiblo for tho present monetary disturbance. Inthatevent there will bono difficulty in proviaing for all demands of the legit- imate busin of the count rge y IN ML wer The question of establishing an educa- tionul qualification for the right of suffrago in Mississippl, the effect of which would be to very greatly reduce the negro vote of the state while malk- ing only a comparatively small roduction in the white vote, has reccived no heartier support from any one than from the only colored member of the constitu- tional convention, Mr. Montgomery, who advoeates itas in his opinion the ouly solution of the race problem. In an eloquent speech insupport of the re- port of the suffrage committee in favor of jan educational qualification, Mr. Montgomery said that his convietion of Lhe necessity of such a restriction of the franchise was not new, Fe had held it before his constituents sent him to the convention, and had told them that the work of the convention, in order to be successful, must restrict the franchise by proseribing such qulification for votersas would reduce the megro vote considerably below the white vote of the state, “Woare well aware,” said Montgom- ery, *“that our race hus not yet attained the high plane of moral, intellectual and political ¢ co common {0 yours, but it i ilege to pros onward and upward, Itis the lack of confidence in the adjustment of our political econ- omy, proposed hy you, that keops up the race solidit, Without a restoration of confidence [ can see no solution to this great problem.” He believed the vir- tual effect of the proposed measure would be to restrict one hundred and twenty-four thousand negro votersand eloven thousand white, giving a net white majority of forty thousand, and he said: “It isa fearful sacrifice laid upon tho altar of liberty, Many of these men you s to disfranichise I know per- sonally. Their hearts are as true as steel. Muny are soldiers who have stood.amidst the smoke of battle on bloody fields in defense of the fl which every American proudly hails as tho ensign of freedom and the talisman of protection in all civilized lands. I want to say to my people, we have not taken away your high priviloge, but only lifted it to a higher plane and exalted the station of the great American birthright.” Elo- quently and impressively this ex-slave spoke of the debt of the south to the labor of the colored race and of the loyalty of that race to the southern peo- ple throughout the war, and he declared that the affections of the race would re main with the whites **till the memorics and traditions of former generations shall become obliterated.” He dosived that the race problem shall become a thing of the past, never to vexandalarm again the public, and that the two great races shall poacefully travel side byside, each mutually assisting the other to mount higher and higher in the scale of human progress, This ex-slave sot an example of lofty patriotism and generous sacrifice on the part of his race which should not fail to bave a healthful influence even upon t he democrats of Mississippi, Doubtless they would like tomakethedisfranchise- meh! of the negroes complete, but this they cannot do by constitutional pro- vision or legislative enactment, and they must bo satisfied with a policy re- garding the franchise which will apply equally to white and colored illiterates. This is the best that is attainable as asolution of the problem, and it is probably the plan that will be adopted. IQUE POLITIOAL FIGHT. The marvelous fertility of western re: sources Is equalled if not surpissed by the versatility of its politics. Hereto- fore three political parties were consid- ered ample to meot all colors and condi- tions of men, but this year a westorn stato withouta quartetto of parties is painfully lucking in the progressive spirit of the times, The Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas sundantly provided for, yet the, behind Minnesota in affording voters that rich and varied assortment of political timber with which to con- struct a model government. When the fourth ticket was spring the average voter evied enough. Notso with the polit- ical managers of the Nationul Building and Loan association. They hungered for political glory and produced a combina- tion t sgation of Shy- tocks claim to hold fifteen thousand votes inthe hollow of their palms, be- sides a capital of forty millions, The nationals do not seek office. They areabove and beyond the sordid schemes of politicians, but they enjoy a lucrative business in bleeding their patrons. The Minnesota law provides for a rigid sys- tem of examination of these conecerns. The nationals, however, do not take kindly to the law, and have time ana again intimated that they would prefer to conduct their business without official inspection. Last spring the governor ond state auditor committed political hari-kari by exposing the rascally opera- tions of one of the nationals und the manner in which hundreds of peoplo in that and neighboring states were fleeced, thelr monthly dues squandered in huge salavies, and the surplus loaned to friendly institutions on insufficient secu- vity. This was a stunning blow to a thriving loeal industry, consequently the oflicials guilty of protecting the horor of the state are marked for polit- ical slaughter. Minnesof the home of seven na- tional associntions—good, bad and indif- ferent. heir interests are common, and possessing unlimited means wrung from a vast majority of their patrons under false pretenses, they make no secret of their purpose to fight the re- publican ticket, and wage an uncompro- mising war on Governor Merriam, It would be a reflection on the character of the people of Minnesota to suppose that these mercenavies wield the balance of pover in thestate. The fact that the offending oficials displayed their back- bone in investigating and exposing the national crooks, as the law required, is sufficient to socure them the active sup- port of every honest citizenof Minnesota, The existence of the fifth party will be as briefand profitless as. its pirpose is unique.
