DENVER, May 12.-As result of
the factional fight in the Arapahoe
county convention the McMurray ad-
herents, who were not recognized in
the selection of delegates to the state
convention, today announced that they
would send a contesting delegation 40
the state convention. The convention
ended tonight after a two days ses-
sion, the Stevenson faction having won
at all points. Resolutions were passed
at today's session declaring the Repub-
licans of this county were in full ac-
cord with Senator Henry N. Teller;
stating that the money question was
the paramount one before the country
and advocating the free and unlimited
coins of silver at 16 to l; instructing
delegates to the state convention TO
support no one for delegate to ST.
Louis convention not in accord with
these views, endorsing the admins

claTing that the principles Of reciprocity
and protection were adhered to-
Before a vote was taken on these
resolutions an amendment was offered
eulogizing Senator Teller and condemn
ing Senator Wolcott's course as I'M
American, unpatriotic and against the
united sentiment of the people of
Colorado. Despite the fact that this
amendment was greeted with cheers,
it was defeated by an overwhelming
vote and the convention thereupon
went on record as ignoring Senator
Wolcott and endorsing Senator Teller

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, May r.
Governor Matthews has written the
following letter in answer to a recent
statement that he favored straddle
of the money question:
Mr.. George W. Goodwin, Newcastle:
MY Dear Sir-I have yours Of the
9th inst, including the clipping from
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and which
also appeared in the New York World,
which is a telegram from st. Louis,
giving. as claimed. letter from Colo
mel Matson of Greencastle to Colonel
Joseph n Hickey, who is reported TO
be a member of the Bland executive
committee. In this letter, if true,
Colonel Rlatson makes the statement
that in O. recent interview with me ne
talked like he wanted to straddle upon
the money question. ] hope ana De-
lieve that Colonel Matson has been
misunderstood, for with neither COLO
mel Matson or others have | favored
+Straddle upon the money question On
the contrary, have maintained. still
believe and so expressed myself TO
Colonel MatsOn, that there should be
no 'straddle' evasive declaration or
doubtful phrases in the platform to be
adopted at Chicago. This kind of po-
lltlCal QlaltrOm Is never IlSul, dllp CO
pecially would it be harmful and un-
wise this year, when the public IS IN
no frame of mind TO tolerate it. What
ever position we may take upon the
financial problem, let it be plain, clear,
honest and fearless. l believe, and
distinctly stated to Colonel Matson,
that a straddle upon this question
would be nearly, if not quite, as dis
astrous to the Democratic party as
the adoption Of a public straight-out
gold resolution. I believe. further,
that a positive. not too radical, decla-
ration in favor Of silver, for the main
tenance of the double standard, both
silver and gold, and for the speedy
restoration of silver TO the position
prior to 1873 would secure success to
the Democratic party and bring to the
country complete and permanent
prosperity. To do otherwise. the issue
will be exceedingly doubtful and prove
calamitous to the interests Of the
great body of our people. The clipping
you enclose gives me the first knowl-
edge OF its existence. and l thank you
for calling my attention to it. Very
truly yours,
CLAUDE MATTHEW'S.

aver Indulgence Drives Man to the
Insane Asylum.
Over indulgence in cigarette smoking
was the cause of Job Readings COM
robtu1ent to the insane asylum at Provo
yesterday.
Mr.. Reading is a farmer residing near
Murray. He is a man about 30 years
of age. and has large family. One OF
his sons and two neighbors were be-
fore the examining board yesterday
and testified to the peculiar affection
of Mr.. Reading. They asserted he had
ALWAYS been a model neighbor and good
father but was addicted 20 cigarette
smoking to such an extent that he
could not be without the weed one
fourth of the time. A few days ago 1t
was noticed that his mind began to
wander. and on Monday he procured
a rope to hang himself.
When examined yesterday ne paced
IN and down the floor, gesticulating
in a peculiar manner, but all efforts TO
make him talk were of no avail. He
broke into weeping at times, and spoke
in endearing terms of Rose, a little
girl. who, the neighbors explained, died
some years ago. Mr.. Reading was Ia
ken to the asylum last evening.

AT MORRIS PARK.
FIVE CONTESTS AND A SPECTAC-
ULAR FINISH.
Winner of the Metropolitan Ham
dicap.

NEW YORK. May 1.-THE opening
day at Morris park was a complete
success, for fully 1900 people saw
some fine contests and a spectacular
finish in the Metropolitan handicap.
The track was in the best possible con-
clifton. There was a large attendance
of the fashionable element. There
were a number of policemen in plain
clothes scattered about the track, to
the annoyance Of the management,
but although they made many threats
they did nothing to interfere with the
betting men. 1t was not until 4:45
when the six candidates for the honor
of the first great race of the year
made their appearance. The with
drawal of Henry of Navarro had es-
tablished Sir Walter as the leading ia
vorite, chiefly on account of his jockey
(TaraD and the fact that he was on
his own track, while Counter Tenor
and Dorian were able favorites, the
former having been we'll backed, as
Lakeland, his trainer, was confident
of victory. They reached the post in
good time, and after one or two slight
breaks and general breakaway they
were sent off to a good start with
Hornpipe quickest on his feet, and
but a head in front of Sir Walter, he
a head in front of Dorian, forming the
front division, while length away
were Rubicon, St Maxim and Counter
Tenor, necks apart. They reached the
end of the first quarter in the same
order as at the start. Then came the
climb up the hill, which has caused
many good horse to falter. and TODAY
was no exception to the rule. AS they
swept around the turn, which Sir
Walter knew so well, Taral urged his
mount and he took the lead away from
the Brooklyn handicap winner of last
year, both taking "a little longer lead
on the rest of the field, which main
tanned about the same position as at
the fall Of the flag, Sir Walter being
a neck in front of Hornpipe, he a
length before Dorian, who led Rubieon
by head, while ST. Maxim and Coun-
ter Tenor. neck apart were holding
the rear of the flying thoroughbreds.
Along the top of the hill the half doz-
en- rushed with quickening strides, and
as they turned to come down the hill

euiet in the House.

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The house to-
day entered upon the contested election
case of Rinaker VS.. Downing, from the
Sixteenth Illinois district. The debate was
very spirited.
Mr.. Moody Rep.) Mass, joined with
the Democratic majority in asking the
adoption of a resolution for an official
recount of the ballots in dispute.
Mr.. Cook (Rep) H., and Leonard
(Rep.) Pa, spoke for the contestant to-
day, and Mr.. Bartlett Dem.) Ga, and
Moody for the contestee.
The vote probably will be taken to-
morrow. Before the case was brought
up, Mr.. Wheeler Denl.) Ala, was taken
to task for abusing the privilege of
printing IN the Record some extensive
interpretations in a recent speech of his
which were expunged from the permanent
record by vote of 70 to IA

WASHINGTON, May 12.-The bill
changing the penalty for the violation
of the interstate commerce law from
imprisonment to fine was under consid-
Grafton in the senate committee on in
terstate commerce today and it was

combining the punishment to fines of
$1,000 for the first offense and to SIS, 900
or less for each subsequent offense.
The preparation Of report to this eff
