Late John A. Nye Attended Famous

of the late John A. Nye. which was held
in this city yesterday. brought to min
n of most interesting events in
his life n which but few men in
the United States, and perhaps none.
can duplicate.
In 1860 he was a resident of the ter
ritcry of Colorado and was elected as
II delegate to the republican national
convention in Chicago. the famous wig
wan convention at which Abraham
Lincoln was nominated as president.
AS this was long before the days OF
railroads. and as Colorado was then an
ultra-frontier state, Mr.. Nye had a long
and tedious journey in order to reach
the convention.
He started from Denver on horse
back, the country was new and Indians
n road agents abounded, his time
was limited n he could not AFFORD
to wait In order to join some party go
ing through. therefore he pushed on
alone.
He was well armed. however. and
rode Il good horse. and though he had
many narrow escapes he reached the
Missouri river just in time to catch the
las: train which would enable him to
reach Chicago in time for the great
day.
He was successful. however. and was
always proud of the fact that he nomi.
mated Lincoln for the presidency.
