rider. all the performers are to be local
amateurs. The tents are now up, and COW
er six acres. The big tent has seats for
l50x2o0 feet. With the side-show tents and

DENVER, Col, June 30.-The indications
are that the mass Democratic State con-
vention, to be held in this city. Tuesday,
July 2, will be a pretty lively gathering.
The suggestion for this convention came
from the Denver central committee. of
which ex-Alderman James s. McGilvray is
chairman The argument put forth
that the Democracy was in hopeless mi
nority and that there was not a shadow
of a show to win as long as the party was
bound by Cleveland. 1t was thought that
by discussing the matter some understand
ing might be arrived at and some declara-
tion made that would give the Democracy
lighting show, in some parts of the State,
at least Some stormy sessions OF the State
central committee were held before the call
for the convention was issued. Chairman
Frank Arbuckle, who holds the position of
receiver of the United States land office.
attempted in vain to stem the tide of sem
timent in favor Of holding<a convention.
Old-time politicians, experienced In party
affairs, represented that it would be the
to get chance to express in open conven-
tion their opinion of the administration.
All was 10 no purpose, however, the younger
men of the party and the committee being

Under this pressure the call was issued
and it is said there will be a goodly repre-
sentation from every part of the State.
There is little question but that resolutions
denouncing the souad-money views of Cleve-
duceG in the convention. They will be op-
posed by the older members, who comprise
many off1ceholders. and an attempt will
ding the question adopted as the sense of
the convention.
