REPUBLICAN LEAGUE MEETS.
Colorado Republicans Once More
Lining up under the Old

The republican league of Colorado,
which disbanded in 1895 because
there were not enough republicans
in the state to keep up an organiza-
ton, held an enthusiastic meeting in
Denver last week to re-organize and
elect delegates to the the meeting of
the national league in Omaha this
week. There was lazge attendance
and il was especially notable for the
number OF former leading republi.
cans, who temporarily wandered to
Bryan in 'eo, but now acknowledge
their mistake and want back in the
grand old party.
The wave OF prosperity promised
by the republican party in the last
national election is now sweeping
over the land, and the only thing TO
prevent Colorado from getting her
share and more, is lot OF shysters
who in order to hold their political
pull are bowling calamity. This is
the cause OF the big reaction to the
republican party. and the abuse heap
ed upon supporters of the admins
tration by the press of the state, can
no longer restrain the converts.
@. c. Goodsle represented Prowers
county on the committee on resolu-
tions, which reported set OF ringing
resolutions, that received the unani
nous approval Of the league. Unlike
the fusion forces, they do not ask for
political ''eo operation to secure
spoils, but they do ask for the Co
operation Of all good citizens to sup
press calamity bowling and secure
the material prosperity Of the state
