ReSOLCed, Thatwe protest against said action which
completely STILES the voice OF the strongest Repub-
counties of the State and renders the presence of
their representatives. mockery and farce; we
protest against 1t because it is contrary to the prac

country, because it is unfair and tyrannical, and
hence unrepubiican in its spirit.
ResolUed, That we have met in this Convention
as friends to fight u common foe, and not each
other; hence we deny the right of any section OF
the party to take any secret action which treats
foe and unworthy OF share in the proceedings III

claring General Grant fit and competent
person to conduct the affairs of the nation !;
that while the Republican party of Colorado
express a preference for the nomination OF
General Grant, they recognize in James u.
Blaine one of the purest patriots and most
able men that America has ever produced,
and should he be the nominee at Chicago,
pledge him Colorado by as large q majority
as any other candidate, and pledge themselves
to support the Chicago nominee that they
are uncompromisingly opposed to monometal-
lism that the Democratic Congress- in its
treatment of the Indian question, has failed
to discharge the high public duty imposed on
it by the progress of civilization we do not
recognize the claim that treaty exists be-
tween the National Government and the
Utes, the treaty having been violated in a
most brutal and savage manner by the Indi-
ans themselves pledge the cooperation of
the Republicans of Colorado to the doctrine
of speedy removal.

for anti Grant delegates. and was perfectly
harmonious the anti Grant men making very
little fight.

Adjournment OF Congress A New Bate
Talked of.
Especial to the EECoRD-UNIoNl
WASHINGTON, May 18th Although the
House of Representatives to-day made much
better progress with the sundry civil appro-
priation bill than yesterday, the idea OF adj
iourning Congress on the 3lst instant has now
been almost universally abandoned by the
members of both houses, it being at length
perceived to be practically impossible to dis
pose of the appropriation bills by that date,
even if ell other business should be abar-
dored. The dates most generally talked of
to-day for final adjournment are the 10Th
or 18th of June. 1t is believed now that
both houses will continue to push forward the
most important bills, and will not be infiu-
enced to any considerable extent by questions
Of party policy, connected with or growing
ont cs r.. - National Convention The desire
to get away as soon as practicable is very
general, and while the Republicans may not
be so eager to adjourn after their National
Convention shall have been held, it is not
believed that they will attempt to obstruct
the way to adjournment. Leading Demo
Gratis say that they intend to work to an adj
iournment by the 18th of June, and if nee
essary to carry IL through they will hold a
caucus and bring the party vote up to it.
Then the Republicans could prevent it only,
as well as the Democrats, by filibustering,
and there is not any desire apparent among
them to do so. They want to get away be.
fore the extreme hot weather sets in, and on
the whole the present indications point to a
final adjournment several days before the
time fixed for the assemblage Of the Cincin-
natl Convention.
The Title 10 Mare Esland-PersonaI.
Especial to the REcoRD-U NIog.l
WASHINGTON, May 25th.--John 3. Ma
hoon, of San Francisco, started homewards
tonight. He recently submitted to the Sec.
rotary Of the Navy an abstract of title of d.
W. Bouldin, of Missouri, to Mare Island. to-
gether with an abstract of the Governments
title, and asked Secretary Thompson to refer
them to the Acknowledgement for his opinion
os to the rightful ownership OF the island
OF course he did not expect the Navy De
partment to abandon it, but suggested that
the Government should institute proceedings
in condemnation to quiet its title. Secretary
Thompson replied that inasmuch as the Gov
eminent is in possession the United States
title is presumptively good, and he therefore
declined to refer the subject to the Attorney
General, or to express any further opinion on
the question of title but referred Mr.. Ma
hoon to Congress, with the remark that I'M
der the decision OF the Supreme Court he
Nah pom could not legally demand anything
from the United States without an enabling
act. The demand referred to is based on the
testimony perpetiated in the California
Courts in 1870, intended to show that Boul-
din bought the original Mexican title to Mare
Island from Castro, the grantee, prior to the
date of Castros deed to Aspinwall and Bes-
sell, from whom the United States bought
it for $50, COO in the year 1853. Hence Ma
hoon claims that the Federal Government is
merely an involuntary trustee for Bouldin,
and he also claims that the United States has
waived its exemption from the suit by the
appearance Of District Attorney Teare, un-
der orders from the Attorneys General, on the
part Of the expectant defendants Admiral
Calhoun and other naval officers in charge OF
the navy yard, in the proceedings above
mentioned.
Judge John Curry, of San Francisco, and
Colonel Sykes, of Arizona, arrived here to-
day.
