sidewalk, but tumble and fell, his left
foot laying on the track. Over This the
trolley passed crushing It frightfully. DR..

DEMOCRATS STORM DENVER.
They Declare for Free Coinage and
Listen to IIIIman.

Denver, Col, April 15.-The democratic
state convention met at the Broadway
theater at IL o'clock this morning. and
was called to order by Secretary Newell.
F. R. MacAliney of Pueblo was chosen
temporary chairman and ]. E. Brothers
of Gunnison secretary.
After the appointment of the committees
on credentials and permanent organiza,
tion the convention adjourned until this
afternoon.
The delegation selected by the conven-
tion to represent the party in the national
convention at Chicago carry with them
only one resolution, that being a demand
for the restoration of the free coinage Of
Hon. c. S. Thomas, after being nominated
by acclamation, declared In an impassion-
ed speech that unless that issue be ac-
cepted by the national convention he
convention. This sentiment was received
with such hearty applause that 1t is sup
posed the other members of the delega-
tion VIII feel bound to do likewise.
The convention did not complete Its
work in the afternoon session and a re-
cess was taken until 7:45 o'elock
When the convention reassembled Sena-
tor Tillman of South Caroline delivered his
political address to the convention. The
foyers were packed TO suffocation, the
and several thousand disappointed cti-
zens failed to get as near as the main en-
trance. The boxes were occupied by prom
inent citizens of all political Organizations
In the foyer the crush was simply awful
and II required a great display of good ma
ture to prevent a panic.
When Senator Tillman entered the stage
he was received by mighty outburst Of
cheers, while the band played Dixie"
Secretary Newell read letters endorsing
Missouri and Virginia, senator Vest, Call
and others, until the impatient audience
howled down the secretary and Mr.. Till
man was introduced.
In opening his address he referred to
presentation of the silver and gold pitch
fork last night by young lady as a new
and proper emblem of the goddess of lib
erty, as II is now the emblem of agricul-
ture. He reviewed. historically, the demo-
cratic party, handling the subject se-
riously and earnestly, then warming up, he
attacked the present administration in
plain words and without delicate choice
of language.
He soon had the vast audience wild with
excitement. The mention of John Sher-
man brought forth a storm of Kisses,
which stopped the speaker for moment
His main efforts were to convince his au-
dience that the capitalists control the ma
tional government and both political par
ties, and he sought to array the common
people against the great centers of wealth.
He touched at some length upon the sill
yer question.
The convention was called to order after
dress, and chose the following delegates
at-large: T. j. O'Donnell Of Denver; Adair
Wilson Of Durango and b. o. Sweeny of
Trinidad,
