sTUPENDoUs CONSPIRACY.

The startling position taken by
| Governor-eleet Alva Adams yester-
| day has carried CONSERVATION to the
camp of the conspirators. who have
boldly announced that they are go
| ing to steal this state, it matters not
what the vote may be for Adams.
If the supreme court will order
the examination of all of the ballot
boxes of the city of Denver and there
| is not found the fraud in the bal
ance of the boxes. as was found in
the certain specific few, it will prove
/ beyond any measure of doubt that,
| instead of the democrats having
| stuffed the ballot boxes. 1t was done
| by the republicans and they were
well aware what boxes to stuff, so
that they could be brought before
the court.
The Sentinel does not desire to be
misunderstood in this matter 1t has
no time or inclination to shield for
one minute any person, democrat or
republican, who would rob the whole
/ people of an election by the commits
sion of fraud in tampering with the
ballot boxes in any precinct in Colo
rado. But it does believe that Alva
| Adams was elected governor of Colo
rado and it cannot conceive that
men would undertake to thwart the
! people of whole state in order to
! carry out the purpose of the corpor-
ations who desire to see James H.
/ Peabody retained in office.
The conspiracy is so stupendous.
so bold, so barefaced. that it has
stunned the people and they do not
seem to be aroused to the crime that
is about to be perpetrated. We would
like to say something that would
arouse every honest voter in the
state, but we have never experienced
such a condition of apathy over
matter of such moment as there
seems to be over this attempt to
steal the governorship of sovereign
state. and apparently nothing that
anyone can say would seem to have
any effect.

conspiracy are so far-reaching. so
deep, that it includes venal demo-
Gratis as well as republicans, who
have been purchased by-money fur
nished by the corporations
The great sum of $4,000 was
confessed to by the state central
committee of the republican party
as having been spent to carry the
late election. If a confession was
made to this amount, II is reason
ably certain that double that amount
was spent. We appeal to the peo-
pei of the state that such great
amount of money could not have
been contributed by the individual
candidates nor could the greater
part of it have come from the ma
tional committee, so that but one
other avenue from which the money
could have been obtained is open
and that is through the corporations
who gave in the determination to
win at all hazards
To further prove the stupendous
conspiracy it can be said that head
quarters have been maintained up
to the present time by the republi-
can state central committee. I'm
mense amounts have been spent in
maintaining the literary bureau and
1t is very generally known that the
Denver Republican receives so much
per line for every lie it keeps telling
in its columns.
When one considers all these mat
ters and puts two and two together,
If he has any judgment in politics
whatever he cannot help but come to
the conclusion that nothing will be
stopped at to seat Peabody. il the
people do not arouse and with warn
ing finger dare the Denver conspir-
ators to do as they intend, if they
would suffer evil consequences.
Talk about the figure this state
cut under Waiteism, 1t will be no
thing to the horror and contempt in
which the people of this state will
be held by other states If we permit
this crime to go unehallenged.
