Two interesting bits of history not generally known by the younger generation of Pueblo cit- izens deserve mention here, not so much because of their importance as on account of their interest. On January 1, 1874, a bill was introduced in the territorial legislature for the removal of the state's cap- ital to Pueblo. A strong array of facts was presented by the Colorado Chieftain in support of the bill. A forty-acre tract of land was to be provided and a cash bonus was to be raised by Pueblo ci...tizens to reimburse the state for certain expenses incident to the removal of the offices to Pueblo. This bill passed the house by a vote of 16 to 5, but was lost in the senate through the "perfidy" of a certain senator from the southern part of the territory. The other incident was the proposed secession of Southern Colorado and the organization of the state of San Juan. This occurred in the year 1877 and was the result of the influence of certain men in this section, who felt that Denver and the northern part of the state were securing more than their share of the political honors of the state.
