reads:
"'Thn, the people have .hc right
peaceably to assemble for the common
good and to apply to those invested
with tho powers Of government for rc
dress OF grievances by petition or Ic.
monstrancc.'
This petition granted by the rlrsiI.

ment Of the public mind deem It un.
wise for the people TO assemble in
mass ut the state capitol on March I'd.
rs intimatcd by the resolutions pub.
lished in :he evening press.
II am not surprised that the threat.
ened danger to the ballot and free gov.
ernment should awaken the people. but
this IL n time for GOODNESS and not cx-
citement.

ure OF the Peabody side In the contest
so complete the annihilation OF their
phantom eyidence-that there can be
no question rs to the verdict. No hon.
est man who has read or heard thr
testimony can for moment doubt my
right to the governorship. So clear
is this that am willing to trust TO the
integrity OF the Legislature knowing
that their sense OF Justice, their duty
to Colorado. will master even the
strongest partisanship.
Those who would assemble are good
loyal citizenships. No violence would
be committcd-no wrong would be
done: but under tho circumstances
ask that they forego their right Of as.
