TELEGRApHIc.

the Republican congressional convention at Washington, for a statement on the effect of Populist rule in Colorado:
 "Dear Sir-Ths letter of your com. nittee to MT. John E. Leet asking for statement as to the effect of Populis, rule in Colorado, has been referred for an answer to this body, the Denver
 Business Mems League consisting of 5000 business men-partly republicans,
 partly democrats and partly recent
 populists.
 "Populist rule in Colorado has beer like devseting forest fire. By destroy ing our credit, which Is the life of com merce, it consumed for the time being not less than $500, 1000, in value ir the state. Colorados credit was so high ln borrowing power that her property in the ls.e census wssnext to that of New
 York. This borrowing power, ttis handspring of our splendid progress has been temporarily paralyzsd by the accidental ascendency of a party whlch stand for repudiation and flatism and is not the true friend of hard silver money.
 "rhe property of Denver was assessed for S1O0,OOO,OOO and was worth three that sum when the populists came into power. Notwithstanding the city's in- evitably brilliant future, the average selling price of this property, pending the overthrow of Waiteism, has shrunk two thirds Silver has declined only 25 per cent or less than the average pro- ducts of other states, while the incre- ssed value and output of gold, together with our bountiful crops, have more that made up the shortage. Therefore not over one-balf of our shrinkage of values can be charged to the panic and universal depreciation resulting from the gold standard. The other one half in loss is due directly and wholly to the destruction of confidence by Populist mlsrule.
 ''So whitening has this been that al the present moment even a gold mine cannot borrow S1 on S5 worth of gold actually in sight with winch to extract that ore and send it to the smelter Lenders are anxlous to reap the rich harvest offered but hold aloof until the election in November, to decide wetheI we are to have anarchy or civilized gov ernment.
 Two hundred thousand farmers of the drouth stricken states to the east of us are anxious to come here and farm by irrigation, but under populist rule we can borrow no more money with which to build ir.igating canals. Manufac- turing is most profitable here. but cap ital shuns Popullsm as pestilence:
 ''The people of Colorado are loyal to their contractors and they are lighting up the camp fires on every hill for the regardless of party, which is to overthrow Populism and reestablish the credit of the state.
