REPUBLICAN ENTHUSIASM.
Three Conventions iieId-The Greatest
Repubiscan Gathering the State
HAS Ever Had.

The past week has seen the three
greatest Republican conventions the
State has ever had. On the 9th the
End district congressional convention
met at Pueblo. On the 10th the
State convention at Denver and on
the l1th the 1st district congress-
ional convention at Denver Although
the only business before these con-
ventions was the nomination Of dele
gates to the National Republican
convention, yet the attendance was
about as large as could be. Ns1rly
every delegate elected in the State
was present and many alternates.
The second congressional conven-
tion st Pueblo on the 9th was an
enthusiastic affair. The great num-
ber Of delegates who had formerly
called themselves Silver Republicans
was noticeable. 1t was also interest
ing to note that they were the most
enthusiastic in any applause of the
Republican administration and its
policies. Hon. Ed Brown Of Cripple
Creek was elected chairman. and
Chas- L. Dickinson secretary. Strong
speeches we're made by Messrs- Ed
Brown. Chas. L. Dickinson, B. CLARK
Wheeler and Judge W. S. Morris.
The enthusiastic session resulted in
the select ton Of Mr.. d. d. Farley Of
Colorado Springs, and DR.. John Grass
Of Trinidad to 60 Is delegates 10

were r. P. Chinn and &. X. Hurlburt-
The Denver convention was held in
thu broadway theAter. The house
was crowded from top to bottom with
several hundred delegates on the
stage. State chairmsn Seaman called
the convention to order. Mayor Rob-
inson Of Colorado Springs, in short
but able address put in nomination
Hon. L. o. Wolcott for temporary
chairman Of the convention. he was
elected by acciinsation and when Sea-
| ator wolccts came 7orwsfd hs ~
ceived an ovation Of enthusiastic
applause such As few senators ever
enjoy. Al this point Senator Vol
colt who is recognized as the nosi
elo; cent orator in the U. 5. Senate.
dslisered an address which for elo-
quence and ability has perhaps never
bsen heard by Colorado audience.
Chas. Wells, once Of Canon, now of
Cripple Greek, was chosen secretary.
The afternoon meeting resulted in
the selection of tn. following dele
gates to Philadelphia: Hon. E. o.
woicott of Denver; W. S Stratton,
Colorado Springs; D. H Moffatt, of
Denver: and D. Il. c. Brown. Aspen.
The .lternates are respectively. Harry

THE THANKS THEY OWE TO
CROKER.

If the Republican leaders do the pro-
per thing they Will graciously acknow-
ledge their great obligation to Mr..
Richard Croker for the victory they
have won. 1t is to Croker that they
were indebted for the insertion of
the Free Silver plank in the platform;
for the vote of the New York delega-
ton under Cookers control turned the
scale against David B. Hill and Sound
Money, It was Croker who prevented
the nomination of Controller Coler for
the Governorship of New York and
thus paraIyzed the efforts of the Dem
ocracy of that State at the outset of the
campaign. Again, 1t was the deep
detestation and dread of Croker in the
hearts of New York Democrats that re-
duced the Democratic majority in the
commercial metropolis (Manhattan and
Brooklyn to less than one-third of It's
former proportions, and gave the Re-
publicans an immense majority in the
Empire State. What one of the Repub-
lican leaders contributed so much to

the President, and hence may retire.
