Colorado G. A. r. at Trinidad.

Trinidad. Colo-With five cardi-
dates for the office of department
commander already in the field, and
not all OF the delegates yet on the
ground. John Wingate of Durango and
|. H. Burt of Colorado Springs are
leading the race for commander of
the Department Of Colorado and Wy
oming. Each has strong following
and it is generally believed that one OF
the other will be elected. A healthy
boom was inaugurated for T. c. Ram
ey of Fort Collins. Dexter Sapp of
Gunnison and Frank D. Baldwin Of
Boulder are still in the field, and the
delegates from their posts are conf
dent Of the chances Of their favorites.
There is every indication that the con-
test for the office will be a lively one.
The fight for the next department
convention has simmered down to
Boulder and Grand Junction, with the
chances in favor Of the latter.

he e1tolled the court; il had set q white
milestone TO mark the progressing
emancipation OF the race Then,
briefly. he proposed to outline for them
the legislative steps by which woman's
right TO equality with man had been
at least partly recognized.
He fumbled for a moment among
the papers on his desk until he found
one of the pamphlets Miss Greene had
given him. and then he said he wished
TO call the senats's attention 10 the
employment act of 1872. the drainage
act of 1855. and the sanitary district
act of 1890 Vernon spoke quite IA
miiiarly of these acts. Furthermore,
gentlemen would. he was sure, instant

forced to become more general in his
remarks, and so he began 10 celebrate

Once or twice he glanced into the
pamphlets Miss Greene had given him,
but he could not fix his mind on them:
their types danced meaninglessly be-
fore his eyes He was angry with him
self for this nervousness. Why must
1t assail him now. just when he wished
to be at his best He had spoken be-
fore. a hundred times: he knew his
audience. and he had the proper CON
tempt for his colleagues. He had
never. to be sure. made a set speech
in that presence: seldom did any one
do that; the speeches were usually
short and impromptu. and there was
no time for anticipation to generate
nervous dread. And yet his mind
seemed 10 be extraordinarily clear
just then, il seemed TO be able TO CON-
prehend all realms Of thought al once.
But it was not SO much the speech
he thought of, as the effect of the
speech; already ne could see the news

would display on their first pages the
neIt morning: he could see his mother
reading them at breakfast. and then
be could see Amelia reading them

cheeks flush pink. She would raise

her mother reminded her that her
breakfast was getting cold. How

Amelia all the morning until that very

senate chamber. Maria Greene, She
would hear, she would color as she
looked at him. and her eyes would
glow; he could feel the warm pressure
OF the hand she would give him in
congratu!ation.
And ii was this handsome young
.woman's presence in the chamber that
gave rise to all this nervousness He
was sure that he would not have been
nervous II Amelia were to be there.
She had never heard him speak in
public, though he had often pressed
her to do so; somehow the places
where he spoke were never those to
which it would be proper for her TO go.
She would wish she had heard this
speech, for in "a hours it would be
