Dcnver.-The strenuous and late
hours the delegates had been keeping
for three days caused them to be late
in getting together for the session OF
Thursday. and 1t was 1890 before
Chairman Taylor called the Demo-
cratic state convention to order.
Robert w. Jones. former sheriff OF
Arapahoe county. who had been Bit
terly attacked by Governor Thomas in
the latter's speech of Wednesday.
arose TO n question of personal privi-
lege. He said he had been bitterly at
tackled and he felt he had right to
make statement in his own hehalf.
He simply desired to say that he
wished to withdraw from the conven-
ton and would make public state
ment iii a few days. The success OF
the party was more to him than any
thing else. He was not a candidate
for office and desired only the success
of the party.
Judge Drew OF Boulder said he had
a matter which he thought ought to be
presented to this convention. Some
months ago he said, young man had
sprung into prominence. He under
stood that this man had kept out OF
this convention by previous instruc-
ton. He wanted to move that COM
mittee of five be appointed to invite
I..-1. n 4 l...1 .s.l. a a
convention.
Objections were made on the ground
that Judge Lindsey had announced
ever his own signature that he would
run Independent for governor. II this
was so he had no right to appear in
the convention.
The motion for the appointment OF
committee to invite Judge Lindsey to
address the convention was over
whelmingly voted down.
Mr.. John 7. Bottom moved a rccoi,-
sideration OF that portion Of the plat
form which pledged the support OF the
convention TO Mr.. Adams before the
delegates had chance to vote on his
candidacy.
After considerable debate Mr.. Bot
toms motion was defeated by de.
cisive vote.
John A. Rush moved that nothing In
the platform should be construed so as
to prevent the presentation Of any
name for any Office before the conven-
ton, and The motion was adopted.
Nominations for governor being In
order, John A. Martin of Pueblo arose
to present the name of Alva Adams.
