Waiting aud Hoping.

The Supreme Court Of Appeals has not
vet rendered a decision IN the Nicholas
case. The suspense OF waiting for the
finding Of the court is beginning TO tSi
upon the prisoner. He has been in
sick, nervous state for the past TWO
weeks, and the first question that he
asks when any one approaches his cell
is If the court has decided in his case.
Nicholas has all along been positive that
he will be granted new trial, and
some think that If the court decides not
TO grant him a new trial that the shock
may result fatally TO him.

Likely to Have q Lively Convention

tion,
DENVER, COL, June SO.-Tho indica'
tlons are that the mass Democratic
state convention to be held in this city
Tuesday, July 9, will be a pretty lively
gathering, The suggestion for this con-
ysnlion came from tho Denver central
committee, Of which ex.Alderman
James s. MoGIlVFay 10 chairman. The
argument was put forth that the Dsmoc,
rRcy was In q hopeless minority aud
that there was not q shadow OF a show
to win as long as the party was bound
by Cleveland.
II was thought that by discussing the
matter some understanding might be
arrived at, an some declaration made
that would give the Democracy q fight
ing show, In some parts OF the state at
least Some stormy sessions Of the
Rtate central committee were held be-
fore the call for the convention was Is
sued. Chairman Frank Arbuckle, who
holds the position Ot receiver OF tho
United States land office, attempted in
vain to stem the tide OF sentiment in
favor Of holding 3 convention. Other
old.timo politicians, experienced IN
party Rfaira, represented that It would
be the height OF folly to allow the rank
and hle to get chance to expreas in
open convention their opinion Of the
administration. All was to no purpose,
however. the younger men OF the party
aud the committee being Of tho opinion
that the party was in a hopeless minor
itN ~ long as Cleveland and CarliSle's
financial policy was apparently indorsed
by silence.
Under this pressure the call was is
sued, and it is said there will DO a goodly
representation from every part Of the
state.
There is little question but that reso'
tutious dsnouncing tho sound money
Views Of Cleveland and Secretary Car
lisle will be introduced In the conven'

PHILADELPHIA, juno 30.-The Press
will say tomorrow;
Within the past few days. Philadol-
phia has been flooded with copies Of a
letter. bearing a foreign postmark, and
containing a most outrageous attack
upon Governor hastings. 1t is learned
that many copies OF this letter have
also been received In other parts Of the
state II was written by Major William
H. Hastings, who left here last Febru.
ary in peculiar manner, leaving more
than suspicion In the minds of many
Of his friends Of an impaired mind.
To what part Of the world he had
gone was for some time unknown, but
It was finally learned that he was in
France and subsequent reports confirm
cd the worst suspicious OF his mental
condition. The letter, oStensibly ad-
dressed to his brother, the governor,
but which he has apparently mailed to
every one whose name he could pro-
cure, makes demand for S2S, 900, claim
cd to be due him. The demand Is &C.
companied by statements 80 vile and
indecent that It would bo impossible to
put them in print, and are ot them.
selves sufficient to show the diseased
condition OF tho mind OF the writer.
Among other things, the old Johns

ernor has recently secured a complete
Yindication in court are gone over
A gentleman Of the highest standing,
who has had very Intimate business
aud social relations with Governor
Hastings, says:
"The governor knows about the letter
OF course, aud knows, as | do, that every
allegation in 1t is false. but hO cannot
undertake any public action under the
circumstances. Tho letter has con.
cerned him much less than has the
mental condition Of this brother, which
lla, shocked aud grloved him in tho OK.
treine. What makes II worse 10 that
this brother ia wandering in foreign
land aud moving about 60 rapidly that
It has been impossible 80 far to roach
him. His mania seems to have takon
tho form OF attacking members Of his
own family. The governor 10 not tho
