Colorado Republican Convention.


DENVER, MAY 26.--The Republican Con-
vention resssembled at 9 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. Ex-Governor Rouett was chosen
chairman OF the Chicago delegation. Reso-
utons were adopted requesting the dele
gates to Chicago to use all honorable means
to secure the election OF General Grant;
declaring General Grant 4 6t and compe-
tent person to conduct the affairs OF the ma.
ton; that while the Republican party OF
Colorado express preference fer the nom-
nation of General Grant, they recognize in
James G. Blaine one Of the purest patriots
and most able men that America has ever pro-
Chicago, eve pledge him Colorado by as
large q majority as any other candidate"
and pledge themselves to support the Chi
cago nominee; that they are uncompro-
misingly opposed to mono-metallism; that
Democratic Congress, in its treatment OF
the Indian question, has failed to discharge
high public duty imposed upon II by the
progress Of civilization. We do not recOg-
nize that treaty exists between the Ma
tional Government and the Utes, that treaty
having been violated in most brutal and
savage manner by the Indians themselves.
We pledge the cooperation Of the Repub-
licans of Colorado to the doctrine OF speedy
removal.
The Convention stood 166 for Grant to 66
anti.Grant delegates, and was perfectly har-
monious, the Grant men making very little
fight.

MINORITY REPORT.

Mk sPE4KER: Toe undersigned members
Of your Committee on Railroads do not con.
cur with the Gsi,riiy in ,'srir adverse report
on Senate Di,l s.. 49, Tor llcwing res-
sons
First. We do not b.i.ye thar ne cases cited
in said report are parallel or thai the decision
Of the Cou T. relied upon and referred to by
the msjoriy are applicable 10 the case under
consideration and hence not criterion as TO
what the Courts would determine in regard TO
the const tutionality Of this bill.
ec9ndly We believe that the Object ion
ufged against this bill, that tits an Illegal in
reference with the chartered rights Of Rail
road Companies, is not well taken for we
think that corporations enjoying the priv
ileges that the Rai.rOads do, by reason Of their
original charters, and other Legislation in
their behalf, should at least be so far subject
to legislative control as to enable The Legis-
lature acting for the people Of the whole State
to protecr them from such determinations as
in some cases render Railroads curse rather
than blessing.
Thirdly, And whereas. we know that the
citizens Of this State have been and are yet
being charged exorbitant and unjust rates
and tolls by the Railroads throughout the
State; and that there are unjust discrimina-
lions against the people OF certain localities
and
WHEREAS, This is question that has, and
is likely to agitate the public mind aud be
source Of troable and contention until the
people are relieved or until they find that re-
lief is impossible and
WHEREAS, the legal and constitutional
questions involved in this controversy be-
tween the people and the Railroads are ques-
tons about which the most learned lawyers
and judges differ in opinion; we therefore
think il the imperative duty of this Legisla-
ture to pass such bill as will do justice to
the railroads, and at the same time grant the
relief prayed for by the people, so that the
matter may if necessary, be brought before
the Courts ofthe State, and receive judicial
construction by our own Courts, and let its
cOnstitutionality be tested and in our opn-
ion this bill has been well matured that it may
at least give fair opportunity to test and
settle this vexed question.

The HUMPHREYS Railroad Bill

This measure, fixing railway freights
and fares, passed both Houses b. very
large maiorities. Unfortunately, it was
not taken up in the House after it pass
ed the Senate, until the last hours Of
the session, and though it passed the
former body, it finally failed in conse-
quence Of slight difference between
the two Houses as TO details when it
was too late to adjust it. The fact new
ertheless remains that there was de-
cided Legislative expression in its IA
vor, which will, at no distant day, crys-
talize into law.

THE Evangelist says one element which en-.
ters largely into a criminal career, at its be-
ginning atany rate, is the spirit of advent
ure which is strong in young men who have
vigor and courage and address. These nat
ural passions, which might be splendidly
utilized, prove curse by misaireotion.
There is good deal Of ruffan as well as
rowdy In the yet only halfcivilized
young man of the period, and he should be
dealt with accordingly. Before we can
solve the problem of crime, some new WAYS
must be devised for enlisting these danger,
GUS elements of human nature on the side
of truth, humanity, and virtue. 1t is easy
tNsay that more courage and chivalry are
req&ired in tie daily discharge of duty and
bearing of the cross than in any lawless es.
capade; BUT the unframed and unconseera.
ted young man does not see how Christiani.
ty appeals toNSll that is manifest aud most
daring in his heSrt, and calls on him to
make risks aud saeSifces, and to show a
heroism that wild lifeSsnd criminal courses
know nothing Of UntH young men are
made to see and feel that religion is robust
and manly thing, which appeals to their
courage and gives the widest scope to their
love Of adventure and the latent chivalry of
their souls, one of the reinforcing causes of
crime will remain unchecked
