"A Denver dispatch of yesterday says
Both parties held separate con ven lions yes
terday to consider the subject OF the admis-
sion of Colorado into the Union. Both con-
ventions were fully attended. The Repub-
lican convention passed a resolution with
but one dissenting voice, requesting Con-
gress to admit Colorado at once, on such
terms and precedent as they deem neces-
sary. The Democratic convention, as yet,
was not as harmonious. The Chairman OF
the Central Committee, and 0the proinin-
ent members, advanced the admission on
any terms, but many opposed, except that
negro suffrage is not made part of the
constitution. Both conventions passed
resolutions asking Congressional aid in the
construction of railroads centering in Col
orado.
