NATIONAL CONVENTION. :,
Great Gathering Of Hibernians
Denver. Col,

The Hibernans of Colorado propose
to Guido all previous efforts at enter
tainment in connection with the next
national convention in July. All the
essential committees have been organ
lied and are actively at work. Den
yer Hibernians are acting as one man
in cooperation, and the heartiest good
will prevails. not only in Denver, but
all over the Centennial state. The slo-
gan from mountain and plain is that
nothing must be left undone to assure
to the visitors that the traditional rep
utAtion of the Irish for hospitality and
good cheer is as strong in the far
West of the Republic as it is among
the hills and valleys of ireland.
Colorado possesses a rugged and gil
gantic charm Of scenery, second to
no other state in the Union. 1t is pro-
posed that the visitors shall be al
lowed to feast to their full upon the
magnificent combination of mountain
and gulch, of rolling plain and culti-
waited ranch of primitive trail, of In
dian tepee, and great cities and towns
set amid it all. Special trains will
transport the visitors around the
famous Georgetown Loop, high up in
the Rockies, perhaps the greatest and
most marvellous piece of mountain en-
'gineering in the world. Carriage rides
through Denver, the "Queen City of
the Plains" banquets and other en-
tertainments of kindred character
are some Of the things which the To-
cal committee has planned for their
$ brothers and sisters from all over the
country.
The chairman of the committee is
Stephen J. Donleavy, secretary Of the
Fire and Police Commission Of Den
Rver and editor and proprietor Of the
Colorado Democrat. He is devoting
all of his well-known executive ability
to the work of preparing for the con-
vention, and this is equivalent to say
ing that 1T will be well done, and that
no hitch will occur to mar it's perfec-
ton. Gathered around him is = the
E"Old Guard" of Hibernianism in Den
yer and Colorado, men, many of whom
! have become gray in the service of
the organization, and pioneers of this
western land. Here are the names Of
