Colorado Democrats Nominated a Man
Who Led Bolt for Cleveland.
DENVER, Sept. 8.-There is conster-
nation among the Democrats over the
discovery that the state convention
which met here, nominated Cleveland
Democrat as a candidate for justice of
the supreme court. The nominee, John
A. Gordon of Trinidad, took an active
part in the Pueblo convention in 1892,
and led the boilers from the convention
after it repudiated Grover Cleveland,
on account Of his position on the money
question. Many Of the delegates voted
for the nomination of Gordon in ignor-
ance Of his record and have no hesitancy
in expressing disgust at their hasty ac-
tion, which was taken in their anxiety
to prevent the endorsement of the Pop
ulist nominee, w Fl. Gabbert
