Goudy's Speech.
After extending a welcome to the dele
gates and expressing the 'FTiief that rebel
lion and insurrection would not break out
during their visit Mr.. Goudy continued
This fall we will redeem our fair young
state from the curse and folly of Populism.
We now stand before the American peo-
pie, Inundated and disgraced. We intend,
with the help of all patriotic lovers of Law
and order, regardless of party, that the
wave of redemption starting in Oregon
and rolling eastward, shall reach its flood
tide in Colorado.
"Do not judge us by the wild and VIC
ious utterances of our sauguinary execu-
tive, our so-called Blood to- the bril-
dies boisterous, profane, turbulent, Wis
ionary, ili-tempered inordinately
ambitious and malicious Governor,
who, though over 90 years of
blow nor fired a shot, nor did any sub
stantial act in behalf of his country or in
behalf of the many States in which he has
resided or tarried, and in which he has
been the friend Of labor for vote-getting
purposes only. His disgraceful antics
aro mistaken by some for statesmanship,
on the principle that some people mistake
biliousness for righteousness. He has
afforded you amuse ment, but he has
brought us contempt, sorrow, shame and
loss OF credit, and has helped TO drive
capital from our midst and has done
labor immeasurable harm.

Republicans earnestly advocate and be-
lieve that our country should act on the
silver question independently of Europe.
In addition to independent leg islation, let
us enter into commercial treaties, as
another has suggested with all,
the silver nations of the world, by which
we shall charge higher duties on merchan-
disc imported from gold nations, than
from those adopting bi-metallic money,
and let us strike back by discriminating
tariff, and especially at England, which
country stands so much in the way of an
international coinage arrangement.
Colorado and Wyoming are in advance
OF the rest of the country, as we view it.

responsibility of the ballot box with the

pronounces height, soul and crown OF
civilization.
