COLORADO REPUBLICANS
PUEBLO, Col, May Ex-senator Teller
will be endorsed by formal resolution to-
morrow afternoon by the Colorado Re-
publican state convention and will be
chosen by acclamation to head the dele
CATION to st. Louis. Free coinage and
protection will be declared the cardinal
principles of the Republican faith in this
state, but no instructions for candidate
for the nraSidpntiQl will I,a
given. Furthermore, there is little like
lihood that the convention will instruct
the Colorado delegates to bolt the ST.
Louis gathering if a gold standard plank
is adopted and man In harmony with
such view nominated. Senator Teller's
friends and supporters will have entire
control Of the convention, but more con-
| servative leaders do not interpret his re-
cent utterances as favoring bolt. Sem
| ator Wolcott will either be overlooked in
the resolutions or endorsed merely as to
| his fight for silver. 1t Is now believed that
Mckinley will be the personal choice of a
majority Of the Colorado delegates.
| Senator Tellers name was cheered to
| the echo this afternoon at the convention
| for the Second Colorado district, which
! met at o'clock. The convention chose
| Hon. Hosea Townsend of Silver Cliff, ex-
congressman from California, temporary
chairman and adjourned until 10 a. m.
| tomorrow.
| A. M Stevenson OF Denver and John A.
| Vivian of Golden were chosen as dele
| gates to the national Republican conven-
| tion by the convention of the First Con-
| gressional district of Colorado held at
| Denver today. c. B. Timberlake of Phil
| lips county and John Cowie of Boulder
! are the alternates. No resolutions were
! adopted and the delegates are unin-
| structed, but Mr.. Stevenson declared
that he would follow the lead of Senator
Teller.

SOMEBODY HARMONIOUS
| SEATTLE, WASH, May 13-Probably
the most harmonious political conven'
ton ever held in this state will assemble
at Everett tomorrow. The outlook il
that there will be little friction in the
convention proceedings. Whitman anC
Spokane county delegates will probabl.
try to bring out a silver platform, bu
the tone of the convention will be al
most entirely for sound money. A planl
