Tho convention gave three cheers for Janney and Donovan. LIBERAL CONVENTION VOTES. The brief address of C. W. Hall on as-sinning as-sinning the position of chairman of tlie convention was a fine one. His perliuent allusions to the situation here was received re-ceived with hearty applause, as were his remarks especially demonstrrfing the delusion and snare auent the drawing draw-ing of Rational party lines hero V. (I. Van Home voiced the sentiment of all true liberals when he, said in etfeel that we don't want to pile everything upon the territorial convention iu the matter of form-ulating form-ulating resolutions. It was his desire that subordinate conventions should speak out, and his remarks were received with rounds of applause. A Coloradoan. a delegate in the conven. today, made a good Impression, Judge C. W. Burris, who used to hold court iu Qua. nison. He knew Fred Leonard there and ho know- him here. Ask the judge about Fred, If there is any one thin more clearly ap. parent than another among the liberals as shown in their late convention aud the one held al the Walker Pavilion today, it is that the voice of the liberal masses shall predominate predom-inate In all liberal assemblages. "A common peril writes us," and it may wel' be added, a common danger menaces us. It is gratify, ing to note that the people generally under-stand under-stand aud appreciate the situation. d C. B. (ilenn, "the silver tongued orator H from Virginia," was chosen as one of the seven members upon the committee on reso. lutione. He, with Van Home and all tho other members, aro competent to give the public something equal, at least, to ordinary Inspiration. This was tbe rather Indefinite portfolio that was bttttg up by the prophet when the democratic convention assembled in the Federal court room at IS o'clock this morn-lug. morn-lug. Kunior turned its batteries loose upon the slate anil had it that the name of John M. young and Sherilf Hurt, should be given places under the speculations for tbe mar-ehalcy. mar-ehalcy. Temporary Organization, It was V:M when Chairman Chambers Dyer and several of the "faithful" were still engaged in persuading seasoned timber "timber" to consent to come before the convention. Hon. V. 11. King, president of the council, coun-cil, ami oilier members of the legislature were present and watched the attempt to re juvenalc the corpse. "Is il true that the mantle will lie handed Marshal Young on a silver spoon?" " I hat's the lirst intimation I've had of It," replied Judge Morrill. mounted the rostrum and called the convention conven-tion to order. He referred briefly to the purposes of the convention and the call was read by Secretary E. C. Dunbar. For tho temporary chairmanship of the convention J. H. Timmony was named. Mounting the rostrum the temporary chair-man chair-man proceeded to heave the most sehaling projectiles at the liberal party, arraigned the administration and paid his compliment to the nominees of the liberal ticket. He openly charged that the nomine for the inarslialry on the liberal ticket had courted assurances that he would be nominated on the democratic ticket before accepting it at the. hands of the liberals. This ungenerous mallgnment of the lib. cral nominee did not psss without awaken ing unmistakable signs of disapproval, if not reproach. The democrat bit his tongue and a murmur passed over the convention. Chairman Timmony had been too bold. He had stabbed a faithful Officer, a liberal democrat and an open enemy in tlie bock. Colonel F'rauk Dyer, whoso statuesque form leaned against one of tlie tables on the east wing of the auditorium was seen to wince. For years Captain Janney had been one of the most omcicut members of ex l uited States Marshcl Dyer's staff, and, while they have differed as to the merits of division, his old emploper has yet to utter one word eritlcls. ing his character as a man or his integrity as an office.. Hut Chairman Tiniinony was mad over some invisible disturbance and had to reveal il In a rant and roar that turned at least several hundred conservatve men in favor ot Janney. Physically and mentally exhausted by the excrutiatinir effort he subsided in his chair and (ieorge E. lilair was made temporary Secretary. The convention then proceeded ith the selection of the following committees: COMMITTEE ON CKKDENTlAl.S. First Precinct O. II. lYtlit. Second Precinct.!. F. Powell. Third Precinct 11. P. Morris.

Snap Sihots. The attack upon Mr. Janney by Chairman Timmony waa condemned by 00 per cent of the men who occupied a position or a seat in the federal court chamber this morning. morn-ing. When Colonel Dyer, for whom Captain Janney had worked for years was worked for years was interviewed by a reporter, re-porter, lie said that no man who had been in his employ was more efficient or more loyal to the trusts reposed in him than was the nominee for marshal on the liberal ticket. "I am not in il," piped Sheriff Burt at noon.todny. Frank II. Dyer was the biggest man in the convention FIx-tiov. Caleb W.
