Resolutions
The resolutions We're rather loag.
and the greater part was devoted to
an endorsement of the national re-
publican ticket, the platform OF that
party adopted at the Chicago conven-

The resolutions ended with the fol-

cans of Weld county:
The republicans of Weld county
with one accord declare their approx
al of the administration of the pres
ent chief executive OF this state.
James II. Peabody. This county.

state. with its millions upon millions
of dollars of taxable property. con-

its immense irrigation system, coup
led with its great sugar manufacture
ing industries, declares that we are
for the policy that protects vested
rights in property and that the
strong arm of the law compels obe-
dience to the constitution and laws of
this state. We declare that we have
no patience with that avowed social
istic association known as the Vest
ern Federation of Miners, and its
sponsor in this state today-the dem
ocratic party.
We declare that the first essential
of civic government is law. That
anarchy is simply the hand maiden
forerunner of tyranny and despotism.
Law and order enforced by strength
and justice lie at the foundation of
civilization. Law must be enforced
with resolute firmness. because weak
ness in enforcing it means in the
end that there is no justice and nc
law. nothing but the rule of disor-
derly and INSCRIPTIONS strength.

James II. Peabody to succeed himself
as governor of this state.
We especially commend the cour-
age, fidelity and zeal of Congressman
Robert w. Bonynge, who in the face
of obstacles that seemed insuperable
exposed the fraud and corruption OF
his opponents in stealing ballots by
the thousands, and who exacted re.
luctant confession of democrat il
frauds from his predecessor in office,
and who by his fight and his subse.
quent conduct has won his seat in
the House, and the right to succeed
himself in manner to command the
admiration and respect of the whole
country.
And we hereby instruct our dele

We further endorse and approve
the conduct of our present congress.
