so complete the annihilation of their

no question As to the verdict. No hon

testimony can for moment doubt my
right to the governorship. So clear
is this that | am willing to trust 10 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
