IN THE COUNCIL
OF THE COUNTY
Three Political Conventions at
Canon City
SILVER MEN OF ALL STRIPES

from north, Soutn, east ana
west of the county of Fremont
there gathered today at the county
seat the adherents of free silver
who supported two years ago the
candidacy of William j. Bryan
for President CT the United States.
Democrats who nominated,
Populists and Silver Republicans
who endorsed him, met today, but
not together. In separate conven-
tons they assembled to elect dele
gates to their state conventions
upon whom will devolve the re-
sponsibility of finally deciding
whether the silver issue is so
paramount Mt the present time as
to require another triple alliance
OF the forces favoring it, or
whether the desired end can best
be sought and the fullest politi-
cal satisfaction be obtained by
reversion to the conditions which
prevailed before Henry M. Teller
walked out of the St. Louis con-
vention and split the Republican
party.
Many of the delegates assembled
in Canon City early today. A few,
unable to spare more time from
their business, arrived there just
in time to respond to the calls to
order of their respective chairmen.
Street corner discussions, private
conferences in lawyers Offices and
button-hole argument, mad occu-
pied the morning. "Slates" had
been fixed up and possibly broken,
delegates had been cross-examined
as to the soundness on certain sub
jects of some of those whom it was
proposed to honor with the mission
to Colorado Springs. But it was
not until after two o'clock that
the real business of the day began.
The Silver Republican conven-
ton was called to order by Chair
man ii. M. Mingay, John Cleg-
horn was elected temporary
chairman and Herbert w. Burdett
secretary and this organization
was subsequently made perma-
nent. Perfect harmony pre-
vailed throughout.
The following delegates to the
State convention at Colorado
Springs and the congressional
convention at Pueblo were selected
by committee comprising r. s.
Lewis, ]. M. Hanks and N. r.
Handy and their report was I'M
animously adopted.

general estimate for a steel brilge, rest
ing on stone piers at total cost of 81 ,3S5,-
900. In forwarding this report to the de-
partment. General Wilson. chief Of engin-
eers, said that the amount approprated
for the survey, $500, was not sufficient
for the preparation of the necessary plans
for bridge Of the character desired. and
he therefore recommended an additional
appropriation of $500 for this work, at
the same time. suggesting that reputable
bridge architects be invited to submit COM
petitivc designs for the proposed structure.
1t is proposed to use the appropriation
asked for in compensating the architects
who may be employed in the preparation
Of designs.

ARMY REORGANIZATION,
The War Department Interested Il
the Hull Bill.

The War Department Interested In
the Hull Bill.
That which mostly interests the War De-
partment at this time is the passage by
Congress of the Hull reorganization BILL
recently favoraby reported to the House.
With this a law, our army, small though
1T may be, would become flexible to a de-
gree that would enable the department in
very short time after declaration of
war to double. or even treble it's strength
without creating a single new organiza-
ton. In all the plans, none contemplates
other than the three-battalion organization
for infantry. This Is to make the army
conform TO most of the National Guard or
ganizations. 1t is believed that within a
short time after the passage of the Hull
bill the entire National Guard of the United
States will be put on this footing. When
once in the field, all the power and in
fiuence of the War Department will be used
to keep regiments full to the maximum
taking advantage of the lesson of history
that the great mistake of organization in
the last war was letting the old and fight
ing regiments become depleted and trying
to reinforce the army with newly organized
regiments. Ii is proposed to guard against
this in every way possible.

Cabinet members say that Spain has not

Many Good Men Who Have Left the
Navy.

Many Good Men Who Have Left the
Navy.
In view of the great desire for experience
ed men in the naval service just at this
time, II is mere than probable that the
Navy Department will exercise considera-
Bile leniency in dealing with the cases
OF men who are charged with having de-
serted from the naval service and who
remain absent from fear of punishment.
In such cases, where the records Of the
men were good prior to their desertion.
they will in all probability upon surrender
ing themselves at a receiving ship be Off
cially regarded simple stragglers and
not as deserters. According to the regula-
tionS straggler'' is an enlisted man
who has merely overstayed his leaye and
Is subject TO minor punishment. -Deserteea
however, are discharged from the service
and are ineligible for re-enlistmen;. 1t is
recognized that many good men have left
the service without permission during the
past few years of peace who would will
inSiy re-enter the navy and render good
service in the event of an outbreak of
Eos;ilities. The policy of the department
looking to more liberal treatment of
technical deserters is due in a great meas
ure 10 the difficulty the recruiting officers
are having in securing men up to the naval
requirements.

In all the stress of excitement at the
Capitol today the faithful House District
committee continued to do business at the
old stand. Mr. Charles Poe and a delega-
ton of persons interested in the corpora
tion which succeeded the old Southern

The committee held an executive session,
and authorized Mr.. King to draw an
amendment to that effect.
Under the rules this was the day for
