WHY hoT'

Mr.. Milton Smith, chairman OF the
of the Democratic state committee.
Denver, Colo:
The Herald in all sincerity asks
why you do not come out and admit
the frauds on the 8th day Of Novem-
ber and ask the mercy OF the courts.
Instead OF trying to defeat the ihves-
tlgation why not aid in ferreting out
lust the amount of rascality commit
ted In Denver at the recent election?
Join with the Republicans In asking
for the opening and inspection OF
every ballot box in the city. Let the
true facts be known-the exact num-
Der Of Democratic reDeaters as well
Republicans. Let the true facts OF
Juggling with returns be brought out.
II the same do not elect every Repub-
lican nominee by an honest vote the
Republican managers will not insist
on certificates for their candidates. We
are certain OF this Such an investiga-
ton will set at rest the status OF the
vote honestly cast for governor. The
Herald will not be party TO stolen
fruit we seriously oDJect 10 ANY
movement looking to the seating of
Gov. Peabody unless he was honestly
elected. No honest Republican wants
or will ask for anything else Then
why not come out and aid in the in
vestigation and put an end to the con
tentions before the supreme court ?
We confidently believe that the supre'
me court. II the judges Of election and
others engaged in the work OF repeat
Ing. ask for clemency. will grant 1t.
Otherwise the guilty are going TO be
punished al any rate and the more
The Democrats oppose the opening OF
ballot boxes the more the general pub
lie will become convinced that Pea
body was elected by an honest vote.
