" 1CPOi o@S
Garfield, who showed that the instructions
of State conventions instruct only dele
gates at large, they have no binding force
over district delegates who are selected by
districts, or by representatives of districts
in convention. He knew of no combina-
ton to break down the instructing rule at
Chicago, but felt confident that it would
be broken. The city is alive with polite
ians. They are so far almost exclusively
Grants friends, and the Grant meeting on
Wednesday night promises to be a great af-
fair. Much interest is felt here in the
movements of the district delegates from
Illinois, twenty in all, and for Blaine.
Their rights will be vigorously presented
in the National Convention. The fight
promises to be q sharp and prolonged one.
The convention is to last three days.
Suit Against Railroad and Coal
Companies-Suspensions and Fail.
ures.
PHILADELPHIA. May 25.-Moses Taylor,
Of New York, has filed a bill in equity
against the Philadelphia and Reading Rail-
road and Coal Company's for a receiver.
The plaintiffs hold a hundred thousand
dollars income mortgage against the rail-
road, secured by an assignment of q bond
to the coal company in the Jun of $40, 900.
He sets forth that both will make money
with the revival in the coal and iron bust
ness. Judge McKennan granted the re-
quest, appointing Edwin W. Lewis, F. B..
Gowan and Stephen A. Caldwell receivers,
to give bonds in $500, 900.
The news Of the suspension of the Phil
adelphia and Reading Company came at q
time when the market was very weak. in
consequence OF over speculation in English
as well as American securities. For sew
eral weeks previously it had been very sem
sitive, especially in regard to American
stocks, and those within range endeavored
to unload. Weak spectators found, DUR
ing the last two settlements, great diff
Guilty in carrying over their stock and
meeting their contracts. When the an
nouncement of the failure came, most of
the stocks were enormously high. This
was true not only Of purely fancy stocks,
but also of such well-known securities as
the New York Central, New Jersey Central
and similar high-priced bonds. The effect
of the announcement Of the suspension
was, therefore, more general and disas-
trous than it would have been had the
market been more healthy. The Philadel-
phia & Reading bonds. which were quoted
at "a on Friday, fell to so, while the stock
declined from "a to 10. As a first conse-
quence of the enormous fall. the failure is
announced Of the very respectable jobber,
Mr.. Traycross, who has declared himself
unable to meet his contracts. The news of
his failure has created the greatest sensa-
ton, inasmuch as he had been considered
one Of tha wealthiest and most respectable
dealers in Morton street. Rumors of other
failures are current.
Colorado Republican Convention.
DENVER, May 25.-The Republican State
Convention met here this morning. The
convention was called to order by ex-Gov-
ernor Routt. Chairman Of the State Gen.
trail Committee. Col. John Cleghorn, q
Grant man. was elected temporary chair
man. Pending . motion to appoint a Com
mittee on Credentials. . delegate from
Chatfee county offered the following
Whereas, the Republican caucus was in
session last night, for the purpose OF de-
termining the work in to-day's convention;
and, whereas, We, the delegates to this con-
vention, representing Republican counties
which cast in 1878 LOO Of the 2,7OO ma
jority received by the Republican candi-
date for Governor, were not only not in
vited TO said caucus, but were absolutely
excluded, simply because OF no pronounc-
ing or regular password. something never
before required at any Republican caucus ;
therefore,, we protest against said action,
uhrnh N thA zsA ~ n
publican counties Of the State, and rem
ders the presence Of their representatives a
mockery and a farce. We protest against
it because it is contrary to the practices of
the Republican party Of Colorado and the
country because it is unfair and t~yranni-
cal, n hence, unrepublican in spirit.
The resolutions were not entertained,
and the motion to raise the COMMITTEES ON
Credentials was agreed to, and the COM
mittee, largely composed Of Grant dele
gates, was appointed. The convention then
took q recess until Q P. N. 1t seems prob
able that Q solid Grant delegation will be
chosen to the National Convention.
