DENVER, Col, Oct. 29.-The secret
organization known as the American
protective association, which is now
demanding some attention at the hands
or congress, has gained an unusually
strong foothold in Colorado during the
past two years, and is now making a
strong fight to gain control of the states
political organizations. This society is
managed by the most fanatical citizens,
bordering on the red-flag order, and the
most ignorant class of foreigners. Its
sole ann seems to be directed against
the Catholics and their friends. But
little attention was paid to it's influence
until after the local conventions were
held, six weeks ago, when it was sud-
denly discovered that this society had
managed to secure nearly One-half the
nominations on each ticket. The people
rebelled against this order of things,
The leading papers bolted the tickets;
political lines have been wiped out. and
the main object is now to defeat this
Objectionable society.
Some two years ago the present mayor
OF TINS city, Nj. ID. Van Horn, became a
member OF the society through misrep-
feSehtatlon. AS soon as he took the
Office he appointed Catholic as police
inspector. The American Protective as
soclatlon at once demanded the inspect
OFFS removal, which was refused. The
society then met and adopted resolu-
tlonS, which. after denouncIng Mr.. Van
horn as traitor ahd perjurer, and de-
clarlng his grave should be desecrated,
ana, dishonorably dismissing him from
the councils OF the order, concluded as
follows:
Resolved. That likeness of said
traitor, with copy of these resolutions,
duly certified, be sent to each and every
supreme council, supreme lodge, SUI
preme camp and grand eommandery

States. as we'll as to each local council
within the Jurisdiction of this state,
with request that the same be read,
and that the name of Marion d. Van
Horn, traitor and perjurer." be pro.

SecutlVe regular meetings of such cOun-
ellis.
Resolved, further, That photograph

Surm0unted by tie word Orator"
said likeness to be draped in black and

Be it resolved, further, That all COM

Der OF this order do now forever cease;
that, in his joys or in his sorrows, in his
hopes or in his disappointments, awake
or asleep, in health or in sickness, at
MS Preside or with his fellow men, we
ask Providence to grant one faint ray
OF conscience to quicken his plutonian
soul, so that he may see himself as
others see him; be il further
Resolved. That when his carcass re-
poses in the arms of Mother Earth, in
whatsoever lnnd, an unknown commit

last rite in the name of this council By
