nounce them for their opposition to the

the republican voters as the basis Of
representation In congress and the cleo.
toral college, and then excluding them

breeding contempt for the ballot box
and rs tending to the most serious and
alarming consequences. We denounce
them for their opposition to the admis-
sion to statehood of such empires as

Montana and Idaho. We dcaounce
the actions of the democratic party in
opposing the location of U. $. Land
Offices in the western states, the de-
feat of which bills would have meant
greater hardships to the homesteaders
of this country. With equal earnest
ness we condemn the seventh general
assembly of Colorado for their fragrant
disregard of their pledges made to the
people of the state: for their reckless
and urdiscriminatc expenditure Of The
peoples money for their own ease and
comfort. their only actions being to
make unjust and unwarraLtable appro.
priations of the peoples money, to ig-
more appropriations that would have
been for the benefit Of the people. Far

Of the farmers Of eastern Colorado. in
Ignoring their petition for locul op.

their disregard Of the wishes of the PEG.
pie of the state for the repeal Of the
exorbitant fec system of Colorado.
For the passage o! II bill providing for
II more efficient means Of collecting the

just, unconstitutional and passed for
the express purpose Of eNlorting money
from the farming community and In

burden upon the people.
We demand that the next legislature

This state. We demand that the next
