DIPPED THEIR HANDS IN SOP,
The Democrats Were So Badly Scared
That the SiIver-Reps and Popu-
lists Got What They Asked.

After week of hard and serious
wrangling the combination conven-
tions succeeded in placing ticket in
the field. The conventions, and more
especially the Democratic, brought to
life many old scores that had to be
settled and many harsh and unkind
remarks were hurled at each other BY
the delegates. Indeed gentleman,
not delegate, but a spectator, has
been heard to state that the Demo-
cratic convention was not fit place
for lady. 1t would seem that when
a party in convention assembled SO
conducts its affairs as to make it i'm
proper for lady to witness the pro-
ceedings, that that party should be
Stunned by the women voters of Colo
rado, or any ether state.
The ticket finally selected is as fol-
lows:
For Governor, Jas. B. Orman, Pu-
eblo County, Democrat.
For Lieutenant Governor, David G.
Coates. Pueblo County, Populist.
Congressman, First District, John
F. Shafroth, Silver Republican.
Congressman, Second District, John
c. Bell, Populist.
Presidential Electors: B. H. Eaton,
Weld County, Silver Republican; T. NJ.
Patterson, Arapahoe County, Populist; ;
Charles ]. Hughes, Arapshoe County,
Democrat; ]. H. Robeson, Clear Creek
County, Democrat.
Secretary of State, David A. Mills,
Arapahoe County, Populist.
Treasurer, DR.. j. N. Chipley, Pu-
eblo County, Silver Republican.
Auditor, Charles Crouton, Weld
County, Democrat.
Supreme Judge, Robert W. Steele,
Arapahoe County, Silver Republican.
Superintendent Public instruction,
Mrs. Helen L. Grenfell, Gilpin County,
Silver Republican.
Attorney General, C. c. Post, Clear
Creek County, Populist.
Regents Of State University: F.
Kendrick, Arapahoe County, Populist;
W. H. Bryant, Arapahoe County,
Democrat
Thus ends the first part in the
Democratic grand stand play, where
in that party claimed for many moons
that they would go it ALONE. Just
how the Democrats cringed and ac-
cepted almost any old thing, only so
they got the governor, is freely known
tn all who have read the daily reports
of the gathering.

WATCHED BY JEALOUS EYES
Facts Gained Through Personal OBJ

Business Man.

To-day there is nothing dreaded

words of D. II. Louderback, president
of the Northwestern Elevated, who
returned to Chicago yesterday after
making study of the condition of
affairs in Europe. During his alb
sence Mr.. Louderback has visited
Germany, Belgium, Holland, Finland,
England, Scotland, Austria, Russia,
Norway, Sweden and France. In no
one of these countries, he declares,
did he find conditions, industrial or
otherwise, to compare in any way
with those in America.
People abroad are paying more
attention to the United States than
they did before the Spanish war. The
result of that contest had undoubted-
ly much to do with teaching European
nations that we were powerful peo-
pie. Since then we have become the
foremost factor in all international
affairs.
The present condition of the
United States makes our country the
wonder and envy of the whole world.

our labor men to visit Europe and

London, July e.-The story that all for
eigners in Picking were murdered on June
20 or July appears to be circulating simul-
taneously at Chefoo, Shanghai and Tien-
tsin. Yet, as it is not confirmed by official
dispatches, and is not traceable to the
southern viceroys, who are still in certain
communication with Peking. there is ba-
sis for the hope that it Is untrue. Cautious
observers at Shanghai recognize that even
though these reports are rejected, events
in Peking must be galloping to a tragic end.
Correspondents Of the Express at Shang-
hal gather details from Chinese sources,
which, pieced together, relate that when
the foreigners ammunition was exhausted
the Boxers and the imperial troops rushed
the British legation and poured into the
courtyard with fanatical fury. The for.
eign troops were so hopelessly outnum.

Two Manchus who have arrived at

ment that Prince Tuan visited the palace
and offered the emperor and dowager en-
press the alternative of poison or the
sword. The emperor, they say, took poison
and died within an hour. The dowager en-
press also chose poison. but craftily swal-

that Mr.. Bryan had been nominated for

in frenzy of enthusiasm. Delegates
sprang upon their. chairs. waving hats,
handkerchiets and umbrellas in the widest
fashion. BY common impulse, the
poles bearing the names Of the states
were torn up and thrust into the air.

The men from Hawaii, carrying their

crowd commenced to march around the
floor. yelling like madmen. waving every
thing that could be lifted into the air. Hats,
handkerchiefs. umbrellas, state emblems.
banners and the national colors were
united into conglomerate wave.
Precisely 20 minutes after Chairman
Richardson had mentioned the name of
Bryan, which, like the waving Of a magic
wand. had conjured up a scene Of such
wonderful enthusiasm as has seldom been
witnessed in political convention. he
began to rap for order: but the delegates
were not yet ready to yield the floor
even to the chairman Of the convention.
The band in the gallery started a patri-

TRADE REVIEW.
Leading Commercial Agencies Tell
OF Existing Conditions In
Commercial Circles.

New York, July 7.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Failures
in the first half of 1900 were 5,362, with liza
bilities Of $10O,57O,134 There were 30 fail
ures Of banks and financial corporations
for $25,S22,682, leaving 5,332 commercial
failures with liabilities of $74,747,457. Had
it been predicted that the vast iron in
dented activity into great depression,
with many works closed and prices re-
duced fully a quarter, without failures
amounting in all to 1000, it would have
been thought impossible. Yet the six
failures in the department for the last
quarter were in all $2S,935, though Bes-
semer pig has fallen from SIS to SIS, and
plates from 81 to is cents, and the av-
erage for iron and steel products has de-
clined just 25 per cent. since January TO-
Some further decline is now expected be-
fore things are adjusted for another ac-
tive season, and efforts to arrange wages
are progressing.
Bradstreet's says: Business is usually
dull at this season, and this year no excep-
tion to the general rule is remarked. A
review of the past six months, however,
gives little comfort to pessimists. Bank
clearings, 1t Is true, are smaller by about
II per cent than they were in the first
half Of 1899, but railway earnings are about
10 per cent. larger, and business failures,
as reported to BradStreetS, are the feWest
reported for Is years back, with liabilities
of falling traders the smallest, with one
exception, and that last year, since 1892.
Winter wheat has about all been harvested
in the southwest and the yield there has

northwest, too, have apparently worked
some improvement, judging from the more
cheerful tone of advices received thence

weakness are most marked in products Of
iron and steel. Talk of an effort by the
great combinations to control prices in the
latter industry Is heard. but in the al

material, pig iron, weakens steadily, with
some authorities predicting Is per cent re-
duction from present purely nominal
prices, which are not attracting buyers
The situation in boots and shoes and its
allied industries is one of quiet, pending
new developments. The settlement of labor
troubles is reflected in the better demand
for building materials at affected centers,
while rains in the northwest have allowed
white pine manufacturers to open their
works and give employment to many thou
sands of men. Southern pine prices are
weak and the market for that material is
very dull,'
