this in spite of the best efforts of the re

called the attention of congress to this,
and suggests that it might offer a tie

COLORADO WILL
SUE FOR DECISION
United States Will Defend the Legality
of the Act United States Mone
tary League Will Present State of
Colorado With mo Ounces of Silver.
Dekvek, Dec. 15. V. A. Rucker,
president of the United States Monetary
League, left hero last night for St. Louis,
where he will hold a conference with the
governors of several states friendly to
the free coinage of silver, relative to a
euit which is about to be begun by the
state of Colorado for the purpose of se
curing a decision by the United StateB
supreme court as to the legality of the
demonetization of silver.
The general assembly of the state
passed a joint resolution authorizing the
governor to take stepB to bring this
question before the supreme court. After
consultation with prominent public men
of the state, Governor Tbomns settled
upon a course of action. The first step
was to authorize President Rucker,
under the great seal of the state, to con
fer with other governors and raiee funds
necessary to brintr a case before the
supreme court of the United States.
The replies from governors of those
stateB recognizing that filver should be
on equality with gold as a circulating
medium of value have been most satis
factory, promising assistance, and, if
possible, active co-operation. Especial
ly in Texas baa the reception of the idea
been cordial, and it is possible Mr.
Rucker will go to that state and meet
the governor and state officials before
proceeding to Washington.
Suit against the government will begin
in Denver. The United States Monetary
League will give the Btate of Colorado as
a present of solid stiver brick of the
purest metal of 100 ounces, and repre
senting JflOO at par ratio. The treasurer
of the state will thee formally present
the brick to the state. The state will
send it to the United StateB mint at
Washington, with the demand that it
be coined into 100 silver dollars.
