OF this county.

w. b. Goblin, OF Rocky Ford, was

chairman. and ID. b. Ryder tempor-
AIRY secretary. Mr.. Goblin made a
characteristic and decidedly forcible
speech in which the sins OF democ-
racy, both OF omission and commits
sion, were portrayed In language
truly picturesque. One of the new
sins they were charged with was the
lavish and uncalled for expenditure
of one-half million dollars In the de-
fense of the Kansas-C c Colorado water
suit. Mr. Goblin, as in the days OF
old, seen his duty and done it," and
