BALLOTING COMMENCES
The convention at once proceeded to call
of States for ballot for President.
During the calling OF the roll the conven-
ZION was at first disposed to become bois-
ferrous ana to cheer the votes as they We're
announced. There was avery enthusiastic
outbreak when California voted solidly for
Blaine, but finally having found that these
demonstrations were delaying the an
nounccment of the result the conventions
curiosity overcame its enthusiasm and the
confusion was considerably abated and the
call proceeded in good order.
When Virginia was reached in the call
Of States demand was at once made for
Il poll Of the delegation. During the poll,
Senator Riddleberger, notwithstanding the
sharp raps OF the chairman's gavcl, when
his name was callei. arose and said that
he would have voted for Blaine if he had
been nomina ed, but as his name had not
been presented he voted for Allison. This
violation of the rules of the convention was
allowed to go in the Senator's case without
rebuke The ballot resulted as follows:

promote trade, open new and direct markets
for our produce, and cheaper the cost Of trans
portation. We afirm this to be far better for
our country than the Democratic policy OF loan

The conduct Of foreign affairs by the present
Administration has been distinguished by its
inefiiciency aud its cowar1ice. Having with
drawn from the Senate all pending treaties ef-
fected by the Republican Administration for
the removal OF foreign burdens and restric-
tons upon our commerce and for its extension
into better markets, it has neither effected
nor proposed any others in their stead.
Processing adherence to the Monroe
doctrine, it has seen with idle com.
placency the extension of foreign influence in
Central America and of foreiyn trade every.
where among our neighbors. It has refused to
charter, sanction or encourage any American
organization for constructing the Nicaragua
canal work Of vital Importance 70 the main
tenanceof the Monroe doctrine and our National
influence in CeEsxal America and South America
and necessary for the development OF trade
with our Pacific territory, with South America
and with the islands and further coasts Of the
Puciic Ocean.
We srraign the present Democratic Admins
tration for its weak and unpatriotic treatment
of the fisheries question. and its pusillanimous
surrender of the essential privileges to which
our fishing vessels are entitled in Canadian
ports under the treaty Of 1873, the reciprocal
maritime legislation Of 1880 and the comfy Of
nations, and which Canadian fishing vessels re-
ceive IN the ports Of the United States. We
condemn the policy Of tho present Administers
ton and the Democratic majority in Congress
towards our fisheries - unfriendly and con-
spicuously unpstziotic and Is tending 70 destroy

pensable resource Of defense against foreign
enemy.

noble soldier and favorite child Of victory

In the spirit OF those great leaders and Of our

Second Day.
CHICAGO, June 20.-The Republican Ma
tional convention was called to order at
1880 by Chairman Thurston, and a hush
fell upon the assemblage when Rev.
Stephen A. Northrop, OF Fort Wayne, Ind,
lifted up his voice in prayer.
After the prayer, Chairman Thurston
said that there had been forwarded to him
resolutions referring to the formation of
the platform which the chair said would be
referred TO the committee on resolutions.
A motion was made and seconded that
the committee on permanent organization
be called upon to make report. But q
protest came from Mr.. Harris, Of North
Carolina, that the committee on permanent
organization should not report until the
committee on credentials should have been
heard from. He did not wish to force q
gag law upon the convention, but he moved
that the motion be laid upon the table.
The chairman stated that 1t the last two
Republican conventions the report Of the
committee on permanent organization had
reported before the committee on creGen-
tisls had completed its lsbor. He was In
formed that the credentials committee
would not be ready to report until eight
o'clock this evening.
NJ. Henderson said that - the conven.

1t was predicted that this would
be hard winter, yet here it is the
eighth Of December and no winter
weather yet. We hope this will be-
q regular Colorado winter, which
means a bad month in January,
pleasant February and tho usual
stormy March. Perhaps predictions
do not count IN this country.
Hay is worth ten dollars ton in

If with hay at ten dollars or even FIVE
farmers under ditch ought to got
rich IN few years. 1t is not likely
with the homo demand and our ex-
cellent market west that hay will DO
sold a. low as Eve dollars ton for
years TO come.
The work on the bitches affords
work to many who would have had
no employment during the winter,
had it not been for the construction
of these enterprises, their construc-
ton makes living for many fam
lily during the winter and assures
success in farming for all time to
come after they are completed.

There was some fears during the
fall that it would be pretty close
times with some of the people this
winter, but time is fast wearing away

plenty than was expected, and we
know of no one but What are getting
