CHAIRMAN GROVE
Receiving Many Letters in Regard to
Populist Convention.

On returning from trip to Atlanta yes
terday D. G. B. Grove, state chairman of
the populist party, found his mail increased
to an enormous extent. The letters were
from every part of the state and were writ
ten concerning the convention to be held
by the popuiist party to make arrange
ments for the constitutional convention
election. The convention was TO be held in
this city on May 8. but as a number of the
letters advised a postponement until after
the converting of the general assembly, DR..
Grove may revoke his call.
One of the letters was from the Rev.
Samuel Adams, of Shelby county. lie :.as
in favor of the postponcment, and gave as
reason that it would be better to await
the action of the legislature in the matter
of repeating the act before the question

still in the power of the legislature to stop
the initiative proceedings they had inaugu-
rated He further claims that the call has
not gone into the hands of the people until
a vote has been taken ON the subject. When
this is done their power will be supreme
and the legislature would be powerless to
repeal the act.
This proposition is fatty contradicted,
however, another lawyer claiming that II
the legislature is empowered at one time to
repeal an act there is nothing in the con-
stitution to prevent them from repeating It
at any other time. He says the Legislature
has the same right to undo what 1t has
done. the same as any other body, unless
the constitution expressly provides against
1t.
Several attorneys were seen yesterday,
but they still refrain from publicly express
ing themselves. on this question. Very few
of them have investigated the matter
thoroughly and for this reason do not care
to be quoted All admit that the subject is
open for deep consideration, and that there
are good arguments on both sides of the
question: but few of them will give an
opinion on either one side or the other.
Approval unnecessary
at am thoroughly convinced" remarked
one attorney, ''that it was not necessary
for the governor to have signed the act,
and. in fact, that it was not necessary for
the legislature to have passed an act. The
law on that point is plain. A mere resolu-
ton would have been necessary to make
the call and the governors veto would
have had no effect whatever, on the resolu-
ton. The people make the constitution and
the constitution creates the legislature, and
1 am of the opinion that after this body
had passed an act calling a constitutional
convention they had done all that was re-
quired of them and now have no more au-
thority in the matter. The constitution
does not say even that the legislature
shall call the convention, but of course, it
naturally follows that it is the proper body
to make the call. The vote of the people
decides the call of a convention and If the
general assembly could repeal the act before
they had voted they could do the same
after the vote had been taken and in that
case a state legislature could override the
constitution. am convinced that the legis-
lature has no right to repeal the act"

IL will be remembered that Rev. MIR.
Adams is the man who made himself ia
nous during the days when the democratic
party was torn to pieces in Alabama. He
at one time bore the sobrequet of "Burn
His Arm Off Adams" and was leader of
the Kolb faction during the famous CAM
paign.
Several letters advising this course were
received by DR.. Grove and he is unde-
cided what to do about it. Last night ho
said that he had not had time to think
over the matter seriously, and as yet he
had reached no decision.
1t is said that several of the leading popu-
lists of the Adams way of thinking, lean
towards the side of Governor Johnston,
and for this reason want to await the ac-
ton of the legislature.

Not a Fish Story.

We hear OF fish stories every season but
mouse story is somewhat out OF the reg.

town OF Bridport, VT, aUout 40 years ago.
The boys az that place wanting some ex-

40 men on each side. The side that got
beaten was to pay TO- an oyster supper at
the hotel. The time was limited TO three

west. A room was secured as a depOsi.
tory and each side unloaded their game in
their respective corners.
-Four .stalwart fellows were selected as
policemen to keep guard over It as It was
considered proper for either side to steal
all the game they could from their oppo-

A disinterested committee was appoint

The question now was how to dispose
OF the game Finally man was found who
drew them away and put them on his land
for fertilizer. He sOwed that piece OF
ground to wheat and raised 90 bushels to
the acre, aud for years after those rats
and mice helped to keep that piece of land
in luxuriant vegetation.

The kid baseball team of La

with the kid aggregation from
Trinidad at the driving park last
Sunday afternoon. Each member
of the kid team of this city is a
star of the first magnitude, and
they played ball like professionals.
They wiped up the earth with the
kid aggregation from Trinidad and
then rubbed it in. The visiting
team was not in it at any stage Of
the game, although they had the
umpire bought and paid before the
trouble commenced. His decis-
ions were OF the character most fe-
licitously termed "rotten," and a
riot was narrowly averted by his
being fred bodily from the game.
The game resulted in a score of 38
to 9 in favor of the home team.

Not Guilty Of Horscsteaiing.

| The preliminary examination
OF Emerson Hunt, charged with
Es,ealing a horse and buggy from
I'M S. Martin, the liveryman of
Rocky Ford, came up before ,Po-
lice Magistrate Finity last Satur-
day afternoon. Fred A. Sabin
lconducted the prosecution. and O.
e. Hess appeared for the defend
ant. From the evidence it APP
pears that Mr. Hunt is bibulous
Individual, and while under the in
fluence OF Rocky Ford watermelon
Juice he hired rig from Mr.. Mar
tin and drove up to Manzanola
There he placed the rig in the To-
cal livery establishment and pro-
ceeded to do the town. He drew
check on a Pueblo bank and had
it cashed at Bealy Bros, and with
the funds thus secured left town,
leaving his hired Rozanante to
shift for himself. AT Lamar he
was nailed by the sheriff OF Prov
ers county and turned over to
Sheriff Barr.
Judge Finity did not deem the
evidence sufficient to warrant hold
ing the prisoner on the charge of
horse stealing and the case was
dismissed. Hunt is still held,
however, to answer to charge of
forgery, and his preliminary on
this complaint was set for next
Thursday at 2 O'Clock.
