Purpose of the Conference.

The presidents purpose in having
this conference was to ascertain if
there had been any marked political
changes in the different sections of
the country during the past year.
The conference Tuesday, it is said,
showed that there had been none.
''The conference was entirely har-
monious," said one of the gentlemen
who participated in it, but who de-
clined his name to be published. "No
difference of opinions developed and
the presidents position on the diff
ferent questions discussed was en-
dorsed. We talked over the entire
political situation, especially that in
the states through which the presi-
dent is to pass. The coal strike was
not talked about"

in my district upon public policies, in
duced me to make this delay. Since my
return to the district / have made
a careful study as to the sentiment in
the district and state, and l believe
there is no little sentiment, and a grow
ing sentiment, among republicans, that
I do not truly represent their views on
the tariff question. Believing this con-
dition to exist, and knowing that l do
not agree with many of my people that
trusts, to which / am and have been
opposed, can be cured, or the people
benefited by free trade, in whole or in
part, must decline to accept the NOM
ination so generously and enthusiastic
cally made. l have devoted 20 of the
best years of my life to the service of
my people and my country, and have
fought for what I believed to be best
for the farmer, the laborer, and the
business interests of this district and
state. l am grateful for the devotion
that has ever been accorded me and,
to the hour of my death, will hold in
a grateful heart the memory of that
devotion. l will give, later on. in some
detail, my views and convictions on our
conditions and on public questions, and
will state my reasons why the repub-
lican party and it's policies should con-
tinue in the confidence of the voters
of the United States, and why the doc
trines of the democracy should find
no Judgment in the faith and teachings

Dubuque, Ia, Sept. 19.-The repub-

bcrs of the committee called upon
Col. Henderson and requested him to

clined to do so, stating his decision
was final.

Every summer Colorado is visited by

CRENSHAW CASE CONTINUED.
A Sensational Conclusion for the Time Being Of the
Murder Trial.

The case of the Territory VS.. Noel e..
Crenshaw of Cerrillos, for murder, was
continued today until the next term of
court. The jury was discharged. This
afternoon argument was heard on a
motion to fix bail for Crenshaw. The
case was continued on account of the
result of the contempt proceedings
brought against Henry Pacheco.
There was a delay in the trial of N.
E. Crenshaw for murder this forenoon
by contempt proceedings against Hen
ry Pacheco who was charged with an
attempt to tamper with the jury in the
murder case. A thorough investigation
in open court in which number of
witnesses were heard and each juror
was examined individually resulted in
bringing out the fact that Pacheco had
been making some wild talk on the
Plaza last evening which led to the re-
port that he had attempted to pass a
note to one of the jurors. Judge Nc
Fie fined PachecO $50 and costs
