 contest in one of the districts It was final
 ly decided in favor of the anti -Tilden lega-
 tion. The committee on organization report
 ed as permanent chairman B. Gratz Brown, | of St. Louis. Messrs. Vest, Woodson and l others made short speeches, and the burden l of every one was that they wanted the dele i gation to go uninstructed and to go for the | most available man to defeat the Republican party. No resolutions were passed. as it was l feared they might trammel the convention at l Cincinnati. The delegates as elected stand l 20 anti-Tilden, for Tilden and doubtful. On account of the want of accommodations in the city and the uncomfortabIeness of the wl&wam, the work was rushed through in order to enable the delegates to avoid staying over night. The convention adjourned at 8:15 p. n.
 Colorado Republican Convention-In- structfons for Grant and Compliments folrBIa inc.
 DENVER, May 26'-The Republican conven- tion assembled at p. yesterday. The following delegates to Chicago were chosen: Ex-Governor Roult, Lieutenant Governor L.
 Head, Amos Sleek, Geo. T. Clark, J. A. Elicit,
 M. N. Mcguire. Alternates: E. L. Campbell,
 I
 Blake, J. D. Hall. Ex-Governor Roult was
 chosen chairman of the Chicago delegation.
 Resolutions were adopted requesting the del
 egates to Chicago to use all honorable means to secure the selection of General Grant declaring General Grant fit and competent person to conduct the affairs of the nation; that while the Republican party of Colorado express prefer enee for the nomination of General Grant, they recognize in James G. Blaine one of the purest patriots and most able men that Amer ica has ever produced; and should he be the candidate at Chicago Eve pledge him Cobra do by as large a majority any other candi- date," and pledge themselves to support the Chicago candidate that they are uncompro- misingly opposed to monometallism that the Democratic Congress, in it's treatment of the Indian question, has failed to discharge a high public duty imposed upon it by the prog ress of civilization. The platform also says:
 ''We do not recognize that treaty exists between the National Government and the Utes, that treaty having been violated in a most brutal and savage manner by the Indians themselves. We pledge the cooperation of the Republicans of Colorado to the doctrine of speedy removal"
 The convention stood 106 for Grant to G6 anti Grant delegates, and was perfectly har- monious, the anti-Grant men making very little fight.

Arriving Delegates Interviewed.
 CHICAGO, May 26.-The reporters are try ing to interview every prominent man who arrives to attend the convention. General Thomas L. Kane and M. s. Quay, two dele gates from Pennsylvania were pumped about the reported bolt in their delegation. General Kane said he knew of a defection from others, but none from the Giant men. There were several anti third term men in the delegation, but he vas sure they would not violate their instruc- tions. Quay said if the unit rule was not enforced there would doubtless be something of break, but he did not believe any con siderable number of delegates would disre gard their instructions. Hon. LeviP. Morton of New York, who is at the Palmer House, says he is for Grant all the time. He does not consider the bolt of New York delegates of any moment. The result of the Illinois and Colorado conventions has frightened most of those inclined to be refractory back into their places.
