He says that as long as the government

Col. John Atkins, of the Rocky Noun
tain News, of Denver, arrived i'll the
city last night to represent the News
during the convention. He says that
the entire Colorado delegation will ar
rive at $3.50 o'clock Monday morning on
the Missouri Pacific. The delegation is
composed of Hon. Thomas NJ. Patter-
son, of Denver; E. A. Ballard, of Fort
Collins; L. B. Ryan, of sLeadville; Cast
nero Barela, of Trinidad; James W.
Corlisto, of Pueblo, and DR.. w. S. Cock

wood Springs. Mr.. Patterson, the
III the state convention that elected the
delegates and he was elected by accla-
nation, as nearly every county in the
state had instructed for him for chair
man. The delegation come to the
convention free to act according to
their judgment. They are for Cleveland
for president and incline toward Gen.
Black for vice president. Mr.. Patterson
was in Gen, Blacks regiment when he
was colonel and was wounded with
him at Shiloh, and Mr.. Patterson is de-
youtly attached to him. 1t is his opin-
ion and the idea of the delegation that
the nomination of Gen. Black, with his
record in both the war and pension
office, would disarm those who might be
inclined to arouse sectional feeling by
attacking Mr.. Cleveland or the Confed-
crate flag order and the veto of the de-
pendent pension bill. The delegation
is opposed to the presidents silver pol
cy,and if it has anything to do with the
platform it will try and insert pro-
silver plank, but otherwise will not
bring the matter up. Col Atkins says
that Colorado is the most enthusiastic
Blaine state in the Union, and there is
not much chance for the Democrats to
carry it if Blaine is nominated, but
Sherman has no friends out there, and
it the Republicans will only put him up
1t will be easy to turn Colorado over to
the Democratic party,
