Quite recently a delegate from the loyaliN' o'

We look for the movement TO begin IN the
mart of the State west of the Colorado, wherc
the German element, which has always been
LOYAL 10 the core, is strongest. Ii the eastern
districts follow the example General Conveh-
ton may be callcd-it not the counties west oi
the Colorado viii form a separate State Govern
ment and call upon Congress for recognition 'S
one of the four States provided for in the JOINT
resolution of admission Of 1915.
That this new State will demand admission a.
Free State there is no doubt. II Is already
practically free Its inhabitants are chiefly those
who depend on their daily labor for their daily

The opinions of Gen. Hamilton on the subject

not entirely withdraw il. II was aitcrward cir
culatcd in pamphlet form by the Loyal Pubhca-

whom We have named are equally firm IN their
determination ~ purge the state OF The EVIL,
from the effects Of which they have 30 seriously
suffered aud whosc malgn influence followed
them even to their temporary Northern refuge.
These men are abundantly able To deal with all

star OF the imperial State of Tc1a- again shines

pale or fade away from the constellation Of
American Union and American Liberty.
