Colorado Democratic Con.
VentiOn.

Denver, 19.-The convention met
this morning at 1890 and the plat
form was taken up by sections. The
REGULATIONS endorse the platform and
principles of the Cincinnati conven.
ton, recognize in Garfield the per-
sistsnt enemy OF CoorAdo's chief
product, demand the frOe and IN
limited coinage OF silver, declaring
that the public domain should be free
to settlement for agricultural pur-
poses aDd the purchase for mining
purposes, and that the law regarding
mining properties should Do plain
and free from plications; sls0
declaring that the system OF court
fees and costs lie oppressive. The
martial Law resolutions then came up
and were debated all the morning and
when the convention adjourned for
recess the matter Wos still being dis
cussed and may occupy the entire
day. This is the main feature OF the
convention proceeding and much
interest is manifested in the resul,.
At a late hour this afternoon a
plank censuring the declaration OF
martial law, passed by vote OF 225
to 80. TIE platform was then
adopted as a Whole. Adair Wilson
WAS unanimously nominated for
governor, but declined. The con-
vention then adjourned till 8 am.

THE ONLY way TO fix up this Utah
political business just right is to have
four candidates for every office-that
IL, four tickets in the field at every
election. The Peoples party is al
ready firmly organized, and regu-
larry arranges its tickets and elects its
candidates, iust as it will continue to
do until more OF US are grey-hesded.
Now the liberals" are organizing,
and it is to be presumed they will
hereafter have their distinctive ticket.
The democrats and republicans alone
remain inactive. It is true some who
were republicans and others who
were democrats appear in the liberal
ranks, but OF course that means q
deseltion OF the old parties, throwing
aside of the old armor and the put
ting on of the new. No one who
continues a democra! or republican
can have anything to do with the
liberals or their methods in political
way. II the democrats want to exer-
else their rights as free men
and citizens they must organ
izs and then put up tickets,
and the republicans ditto.
Then all classes will be contented in
having something to work for. But
hold on. For the moment, We forgot
Judge Rosborough's committee of ex-
democrats, and Judge McBriae's
committee of ex-Tepublicans. They
make two more parties, unless they
can be induced to consolidate, which
they might easily do as they seem to
agree in everything, even to self
appointment aDd self-perpetustion.
1t is true that some of each committee
have now united with the liberals,
but there is enough left to form q
party as likely to win a. Utah cleo
ton as any other outside OF the one
that always wine. Give us four more
parties, ard four more tickets and lei
US all be happy in having something
that everyone OF US can consistently
belong TO.

Pork Shorts.

Chicago, 19.-Some time ago Asa
Dow sold 5000 barrels Of year pork
short at about $40 per barrel, and
has been marginipg as tae market
advanced. To-day be was called on
for additional margins by the broker
to whom be cold, and who is supposed
to represent Armour & Co. Dow re-
fused to respond. taking the ground
that the present quoted price OF pork
is fictitious. that the market is being
manipulated, and that the process by
which margins ara being extorted
from short sellers Ia fraudulent. The
price Of year pork at the close, to
day, was 1925 per barrel. This
action of Mr.. Dow will bring the mat
ter before the arbitration committee
of the board. and will probably cause
some official action on the question OF
whether or not a corner in pork is
being worked here.
