to those who saw the facts. Mr..
Peabody. of Canon City, who was
with the opposition faction never
theless made most compliment
ary remark as to the personale of
the Fremont delegation and what
he saw of it applied to at least
three-fourths of ali the delegates
present. There were a few tough
looking individuals but very, very
few, There were some ungainly
ones in appearance, but one of the
least prepossessing in this respect
proved himself an efficient yet
quiet speaker, when an opportu-
nifty was offered him to show his
mettle. And i'll what political
convention. unfortunately, are
there not some tough and some
uncultivated, ignorant countcnan-
ces? The delegates so viciously
attacked by the Denver press and
the Teller-Towne Democrats, COM
pared most favorably with the
delegates to the other conventions
at Colorado Springs.
There was widespread disap-
pointment among the regular del
egates to the Silver Republican
convention at the result of the
most deplorable fight at the opera
house. 1t was felt that but for
the alleged removal" of Chairman
Broad by Mr. Towne of Minneso-
ia, the convention would have sat-
isfactorily decided in the regular
way the rival claims of contesting
delegations. Therewould undoubt-
eddy have been very hot debate
but a fierce verbal decisive battle,
whichever way it resulted, would
have been more satisfactory.

CONVENTION cuLLINds
Facts and Gossip Gathered at
Colorado Springs.

The Blood Teller convention
numbered Fremont county in its
list of delegation represented in
Durkee hall. AS Fremont's duly
elected and uncontested delega-
ton of ID was present in full force
at Coburn hall, it was a mystery
how the Blood people could claim
it, until J. n. Peabody of Canon
City was discovered in the midst
of group of staunch Teller
Democrats. Then inquiry elected
the information that Mr.. Peabody
was the representation" of Ere
mont in the Blood convention. OF
course he had no credentials.

Senator Teller looked solemn
and lonesome on Thursday morn
ing. Instead of the admiring and
rather reverential group that used
to impede his progress whenever
he appeared in public on such oc-

here and there gave him saluta-
ton as he walked through the
crowded Hobbies of the Antlers.
But after his convention had as
sembled the Senator looked more

Mrs. Mayme Marble made the
"bad break" of the convention in an
unkindly remark to Senator Teller
which came with exceptionally
poor taste from woman's lips.
The convention heard it in silence
broken only by yell from one or
two coarse mouthed heelers. The
excitement of the occasion was
probably the cause of Mrs.
Marbles fdu1 ses.
Taken as a whole the gathering
presided over by Judge Dixon of
Pueblo was composed of remark
ably orderly, respectable and we'll
appearing people. The denurei-
atoms of its delegates as toughs
and heelers, the insinuations of
Chairman Blood as to the char
acter and the comparison with
convicts drawn by one of the Dem
yer papers, were simply laughable

died the flag was c,asped TO her breast.

mother sadly embracing her dying child.
The feelings of Mrs Thurston were ex-
cited by this sad scene, and probably the
incident helped to hasten the end,
