and the heat intolerable They were
surrounded by wild tribes Of hostile
savages and made them warmtfrienas;

gathering which nominated the next
president and vice president of the Uuit-

vention has Colorado attracted so much
favorable attention. Senator Wolcott's
brilliant address, which sounded the key
note of Republicanism as afterwards
framed in the platform, was n potent
force in placing Colorado in the minds of
the assembled hosts. The demonstr;i-
tions OF the great convention are without
parallel in the annals OF political parties
and voiced the unanimity with which the
whole country indorses the splendid rec.
ord of William McKinlev in his high po-
sition. and how close to the hearts OF the
Americans is the intrepid commander OF
the Rough Riders. Colonel Roosevelt
has promised to visit Colorado during the
