Tie republican state convention
which met in the Denver auditorium
last Saturday was the largest state
political gathering which ever assent
led in the state. and its proceedings
were orderly and harmonious in dir
ect contrast with the late democratic
disgrace at Pueblo.
That there was general unanimity
was shown by the fact that the only
contest was settled by vote of S3S
10 %, and 1t wasthe famous Bill Ey-
ans that had to walktheplank.
The ticket nominated is one that
should appeal to every law abiding
citizen of the state. 1t is headed by
Governor Mcdonald. who gave the
state the first era of prosperity and
peace which 1t had enjoyed in a doz-
en- years, and is composed throughout
of men OF ability and high standing
The platform is q broad statement
OF what the party has done and pied
ge, itself to do in the future. The
two principal features being as fol-
lows:

court. To the enforcement of the Law

years past law and order prevailed in
Coiorau-, =, that court Is due that
honest elections are now possible in
Denver. i.i all cases that have come
before it has maintained an unexcel-
lent reputation for probity. learning
and ability. We condemn the out
rageous and unwarranted attack upon
this court by the Democratic platform
which should be resented by all citi-
zens, irrespective of party.
I'VE appeal with confidence to the
people of this state to maintain the
present exalted standard OF our high
est tribunal by voting for and elect
ing the Republican candidates former
bers of the supreme court.
we favor the doctrine of home
rule in legislative matters and con-
denim the iniquitous gerrymander of
Legislative districts by former Dem
ocratic legislature.
I'VE pledge our members elected
to the next legislature to correct this
evil by passing a reapportionment
bill that shall be fair and equitable
to all the counties OF the state, and
the abolition Of the floating of Denve
and other populous counties with an.

national tickets, and that means vic

The legislative fight is little NOR
