There has never been gathering
in Prowers county on an off year
politically that equaled the republi-
can county convention last Monday,
either in point of numbers or the
general appearance of the members.
The SO members of the convention
all bore a general air of prosperity
and substantial standing in their re-
spective communities. Considering
the little amount of business to be
transacted it was remarkable that
such large attendance could be OBJ
tanned from all parts of the county.
There we're many new faces in the
body, showing that the new settlers
of the county are taking an interest
in the county affairs, and their con
stantly increasing numbers will in
few more years place them in the
majority. The interest and enthusi-
asm shown in this convention is evil
dence that the republican majority in
Prowers county is alive to the neces-
sity of redeeming Colorado this year
from the misrule and corruption,
which has marked the fusion admin
istration of state affairs, and placing
the state once more in the republi-
can column where it has always be-
longed, and thus regaining the con-
fidence and respect of the financial
and commercial section of the coun-
try.
The convention was called to order
at 2:3O in the afternoon by A. E..
Bent, chairman of the county central
committee. On motion A. E. Bent
was made temporary chairman. and
G. L. Mcpherson, of Holly, temper
ary secretary
There being no contests the tenn
porary roll call of the convention
was adopted as the official roll OF
members, and was es follows;

COUNTY CONVENTION.

fully and shamefully squandered with
out regard to the needs OF the people.
The state land is absorbed and made
matter Of barter and sale by those who
are supposed to protect and save it to
the interests Of the school children OF
Colorado.
We condemn the duplicity OF Senator
Teller, who, in recent speech in his
own city, stated that he had always been
Democrat, meaning in substance, that
he had held office by the grace of the
Republican party for thirty-one years
under false pretences. His unfairness is
80 manifest that the people OF the state
will repudiate him for unstable conduct
and place him with those who have
proven themselves more eager for pelf
and power than for the furtherance OF
, honest political and personal convic
ton"
The order of business was on
motion made the same as in the call
for the convention.

COGHlAN TO HAVE CHARGE.
Will Accompany Pauncefote's Remains
to Enuland.

Washington. June 17.-Secretary
Moody has sent instructions to Admir-
VI Coghlan, who is on board his flag
ship Brooklyn at the New York navy
yard, to report in Washington at once.
The admiral has been selected to take
complete charge of the last ceremonies
In this country In connection with the
removal Of the remains of the late
Lord Pauncefote. The government in
assigning to this duty an officer of the
highest rank, adds one more manifes-
tation Of the esteem it felt for the late
ambassador. Admiral Coghlan will ac-
company the remains to England.
The present tentative plan is to
have the Brooklyn come down to An
napolis. the nearest accessible port to
Washington. The remains, which are
now in the receiving vault at the Rock
Creek cemetery here, will be conveyed
by marine guard from the Brooklyn
to special train and thence to An
napolis.
The family will sail on the 26th in
stant on the st. Louis and the Brook
lyn probably will start about July 2.
This will permit of the landing of the
remains on British soil on July IA,
which is the date now suggested as
most convenient.
