The Governor of Colorado Ad.
vocates Publicly RevoIu-
tionary Measures.

DENVER, Colo, July 18TH
State Silver League meeting in th
city came near resulting in riot. Tn
silver advocates were wild, and man
incendiarv speeches were made. Gov
Waite made a revolutionary speech
As the old grav-haired gOverno
started down the aisle to the platform
the scene presented is beyond the
pens description. Men whose future
depended upon the cause for which
they were fighting, stood in their seat.
and yelled until exhausted. The exc
cutive who comes from Aspen, one OF
the leading silver mining camps in
the state, in his remarks, confined
himself to the question of silver and its
decentralization. and to those IN the
east and Europe, who would not only
ruin the west, but the entire country,
by forcing such policy upon us. He
concluded by saving:
eff the money power shall attempt
to sustain its usurpation by the strong
hand we will meet that issue when it
is forced upon us, for it is better in
finitely that blood should flow to the
horses brides rather than our national
liberties be destroyed.
eff it is true that the United States
is unable to carry out its government
al policy without the dictation or con-
sent of foreign powers if We are
province OF European monarchies,' :
then We need another revolution, an
other appeal to arms, and when We
have won that battle, if war is
forced upon us, we will send to Hall
fax far greater army of British |
Tories, according to our population,
than our forefathers sent there
after the Revolutionary War. The
war has begun; it is the same war
which must always be waged against
oppression and tyranny, 10 preserve
the liberties of man." t.
The address created sensation and
scene Of great confusion followed,
the applause being deafening. /,
Judge Kerr, of Pueblo, got the
floor and spoke in the same infamma-
tory vein as Gov. Waite. He in
dorsed the recent revolutionary tele- !
gram sent by Edward r. Holden to
the East, in which the latter declared -.
that if the war upon silver continued
it would result in the West repudiat- +,
ing all her obligations: that $50, 900
men would be paupers and 800, 600 :
people upon the verge of starvation, 7
and a revolution be the final result. 6
COOKS CONSERVATISM CONDEMNED. a
When he had finished, F. Cook, a
Jr.. with difficulty got the floor, and =
he congregation seemed disposed to !
loOt him down. He said: u
'We are liable to do things we NAV {
'egret. l appeal to you as men not u
o do to-day what you will regret to- a J:
morrow. We are excited. We u
hardly know what we are doing. .
No, no. cried the audience Let !,
Is be reasonable, and act as intelli- -
,ent men. We are going east as men U
o educate men in the east. 1t we y
all, then is the time to act. There is =,
ime enough to talk as you feel now" ~
Then the convention went wild IL
gain, and cries of 1--WE know what a. a.
re are DOING" "You are a gold L"
ug,' were heard. r.
MIR. Cook concluded his remarks ~
nth heroic effort to secure mOdera- ~
ion, but it was apparent he had made ~
o impression. I. u
1t was then moved that the conven- u
ion indOrse the remarks of Governor &.
Waite, and the motion was carried =
mid the greatest enthusiasm :"
