DENVER, Col, May 25.-Tho Republican
State Convention met here this morning,
and was called to order by ex-GOv-
ernor Routt, chairman of the State Central
Committee. Colonel John Ccghorn, Grant man,
was made temporary chairman. Pending motion
to appoint Committee on Credentials, delegate
from Chaffee County offered the following:

unfair and tyranncal, and hence unrepublcan in
its spirit. We have met in this Convention
as friends to fight o common foe. and not

section of the party to take any secret action
which treats us as too @ and unworIhy q

actual majority of the Republican voters OF the
State
The resolutions were not entertained. A motion
to raise q Committee on Credentials was
agreed to, and committee largely COM
posed of Grant delegates, was appointed. The
Convention then took recess until o'clock this
afternoon. It seems probable that n solid Grant
delegation to the National Convention will be
chosen.
