AND NOW THE POPS.
The Third Party Men Meet in County Con.
YentIOn.

l
| There were all kinds of statesmen in
the Populist County convention in the
district court room today. Your Uncle
Dave Nichols acted as chairman and the
aged statesman vibrated with patriotism
as he denounced the administration and
scored it for 10000 soldier boys starved.
John Thompson had slid off the steps in
front of Frank Boyd's Gold Hill store,
and came laden with mission of deadly
import to the fusionists. He Illuminated
and thundered, whispered mighty sent-
ments in stage undertones and stopped
whiting long enough to declare his
party the grandest on earth and that its
identity must be maintained,
H. M. Minor, the Longmont Aristides,
was there and spoke often and generally
to the point. He indicated degree of
moderation highly commendahle and
said good word for "his friend" Beck
with, the tull fledged primary-endorsed
candidate tor secretary of state. Mrs
| Sue NJ. Callahan fitted in and out and
had a mourniul look on her face, when
it was evident that Editor Beckwlth had
first mortgage on the convention. She
had hoped to be the party's choice for
secretary of state, but had read the hand
writing on the wall.
In ringing tones Charley Beaumont,
patriot not averse to representing this
county in the legislature. called Judge
Minor down for declaring silver to be
the big THE issue and declared the ini-
tlative and referendum the overwhelm-
ing THE ness of the hour.
DR.. A. H. Tevis OF Ward was notable
figure but was early assigned to the reso-
lutions committee in order that the other
bubbling orators might be afforded tbet-
ter opportunity. Jim Phillips, the found.
er of Eldora, was on deck and lent to the
occasion the benefit of the accumulated
wisdom of six decades. He declared
feminist fusion.
Ex-Governor Nichols bestrode the
chair like a Colossus and again enunci
ated to breathless public his opposition
TO the evils that exist "this side of hell"
Leo Vincent, the Boulder Populist edi-
tor officiated as scribe and all the morn
ing was spent in waiting for the commit
tee on resolutions to report.
The temporary organization was made
permanent.
The resolutions committee was COM
posed of DR.. A. H. Tevis, DR.. Lowell H.
Smith. Leo Vincent, George Clark and
William Rothrock.
AS the committee retired, Editor Vim.
cent smiled blandly upon Editor Beck
with, but there was significance in that
smile that boded the Longmont Horace
Greeley no particular good.
When the convention reassembled
after lunch discussion as to the method
of selecting delegates was taken up.
Only nine of the primaries of the county
had asserted their prerogative and bad
made known their choice for delegates
to the state convention. Under the cir.
cumstances it was decided to post the
names of the delegates thus chosen and
allow the convention to vote upon each
name, adding the convention vote to the
primary vote for each successfully.
Thirty-two names were posted when bal
lotting for delegates began at 3 o'clock.
The reports of the heresolutons committee
had not been presented up to that time.
