- Laying on the Load a


The Denver Republican. which has
been insulting the Intelligence and
motives of the good people OF this
state for long time. has laid a new
load on their patience.
mass meeting OF conservative
workingmen and the best citizens OF
Denver has been considered, and
from other sections Of the state like
action has been proposed in order
TO express the sentiment Of the peo-
pie ON the governorshtp question.
The advisability OF delegations being
sent to the capitol to exercise their
influence with Legislators in prevent
ing the crime of seating Peabody in
the face of adverse evidence has also
been mooted; but all has been in an
inchoate state. 1t has been agitated
for the purpose of demonstrating the
earnestness of the people in seeing
that riSnU IS uone ana not 10 unuuiy
influence anyone.
Now the Republican alleges this
20 be the work OF Governor Adams,
n coalition with the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners and anarchistic or
ganizations and individuals general
iy, to inaugurate a reign of terror
N this state. Threats OF requisition-
ing the president for federal troops
to guard the capitol were openly
made by this mouthpiece OF Peabody
and the corporations in order to
guard that abode Of justice from the
proposed assaults of the Adams ca
naille.
The people OF this state have been
long suffering. If ever a section OF
country demonstrated that its citi-
pens We're law-abiding to the point
of slavish submission it has been Col
orado. For two years the governor
whom their votes elected had heaped
eontumely upon them, had disregard
ed every law of citizenship and right
yet they tamely submitted and no
nand has been raised against him
fhe supreme court, the state canvass
ing board and a crazy adjutant gen
eral have made football of the peo-
ple's rights in a manner which would
have caused an uprising in densest
the people of Colorado
iaye calmly borne it. The crimes
committed by the present legislature,
Jhe creation of partisan court to
dear such evidence as might suit its
side in the gubernatorial contest, the
Dolluting hand of the corporations in
Dlain sight at every turn, the prosti-
,ution of legislators, the ruthless
'asting out of democratic members
untitled to their seats, the open boast
hat Peabody Will be seated, elected
IT not elected-these things the peo-
pie have suffered and no single act
If violence has resulted.
The unfair jury which has sat in
he gubernatorial contest has re
vealed. in spite of itself, that Adams
IS not only elected, but by a larger
majority than claimed before the in
'estigation began.
Now the people propose to be
Ieard. They ask that the legislature
leal honestly with the evidence thai
las been produced and take counsel
before it consummates the crime
which the corporation agents have
;ut out for it to commit.
These protests come from the best
people of this state. The Republican
will find to its sorrow that such is
the case. The anarchists it talks so
olatantly about have no dearer wish
han that Peabody be seated, for
,hen, if ever, they may ply their vo-
cation not under the beneficient.
just administration of a governor like
Alva Adams
There is a way of inaugurating
revolution in this state which will
he a thousand times more effective
chan one of blood and rapine. That
IS to make it impossible for such in
famous mouthpieces of corporation
depravity as the Denver Republican
to exist and to make the state too
not to hold legislative members who
sell out their constituencies for cor
poration Doodle.
All this can be peaceably done by
an awakened public conscience.
And this is all the harm the So
called adams mobs" propose to
make.
