UUHJD8I1ED ATTENDS THE
KEITULii'AN' CONVENTION.
Two Opposing Colorado Factions Clash
and One Man Was Killed. Another
Being Wounded.
COLORADO SPRINGS. Col.. 6ept ".
Early this mornlntj a riot occurred In the
Colorado Springs opera house between Si
men representing State Clulrmtin Blood
and the Teller fuctlon of the silver repub
lican parly, and Sheriff Boynton and Chief
of Police Qustrlght, with about 75 men
representing the Wolcott-Steven faction.
Charles Harris, of Denver, was killed,
being shot through the bowels. An un
known man was seriously Injured.
It seems tonight that all danger of fur
ther serious trouble between the two fac
tions Of tho silver republicans has been
removed.
This afternoon the members of the
Blood faction made application before
Judue Harris, of the district court, tor
a writ of mandamus, compelling Sheriff
Boynton to turn over the opera house to
them. Tonight tho cltliens of Colorado
"These were the circumstances under springs took tho matter In hand and the

Inatlng a joint ticket consisting of two
congressmen and two supreme Judges.
The results of today's session were the
forming of permanent organisation, by
each convention and the appointment of
conference committee to perfect fusion.
The day was almost featureless and was
consumed with routine matters. The only
contest waa In the populist convention
on temporary chairman. J. B. Hart, who
was chosen, met with some opposition
from the opponents of Governor Rogers,
who favor the endorsement of Congress
man James Hamilton Lewis for United
States sea tor. (
United States Senator George Turner,
In an address to the sliver republicans,
adroitly answered' the question whether
he was a populist or a silver republican ty
saying that "belonging to any one of
the three great parties of reform is pref
erable to being a member of the gold bug
republican party."
There la a small element In the demo
cratic convention that Is opposed to the
surrender of the putty name, and a reso
lution setting this forth was Introduced,
more with a view of expressing a protest
than a determination to press the matter.
The undercurrents of the convention In
dicate that fusion wilt be easily accom
plished. It Is pretty generally conceded
that the populists will secure both su
preme judges and that Congressman
Lewis and Congressman Jones will be renominated.
The populist convention has among its
delegates one woman, Mrs. Peters, of
Clullam county, who was seated on her
husband's proxy.
A fight will be mad: to have a declara
tion In the different platforms In favor
of female suttrag. u
DON'T KNOW WHAT HE IS.
When Senator Turner ascended the ros
trum to address the sliver republican
state convention tonight, Chairman Dem
attos Interrupted him, saying:
"I, with many others, would like a
positive expression from the senator as
charged, or a free silver republican."
Benator Turner aald:
"This is the first time sine my election
that I have taken an opportunity to make
specific reply to the many demands of a
like kind. Belonging to any one of t
three great parties of reform is preferable
to being a member of the gold bug repub
lican party.
"The legislature which elected me was
dominated by member of the people's
party. At my request, I was entered In
the Congressional Record as a member
of the people's party, but the republican
papers of the east were unable to dia
tingulsh between the people's party ol
Washington and the populist party, and
constantly referred to me as a populist.
I owe my allegiance to all of the three
parties, and I consider It an honor to be
long to such an organisation." .
MEETING OF THE DEMOCRATS.
At the evening session of the demo
cratlo convention a platform waa submit'
ted. It affirms allegiance to the Chicago
platform of '96. and endorses W. J. Bryan.
The platform denounces as unfair and bit
terly partisan the discrimination of the
secretary of war as carried out by his de
partment against the volunteers from this
state In requiring them to remain at
home, while troops in vast numbers from
the eastern states were transported, at
enormous cost across tne continent and
forwarded to the seat of war at Manila;
that the reason the volunteers from
Washington have not participated tn the
splendid achievements of the land and
naval forces of the nation at Manila is
through no lack of courage or efficiency
on ttvsir part, but is wholly chargeable
to the partisanship and general incom
petency of the war department
The Platform Indorses the course pur
sued by United States Senator Turner,
and, continuing, says:
"We look with exulting pride at the
brilliant records made In congress by our
own illustrious congressman, James Ham
ilton Lewis ana "W. C. Jones."
On territorial expanshlon. It says:
"While we do not favor an aggressive
policy of general territorial expansion, we
are opposed to the surrender to Spain of
any of the territory that has been ac
quired by American valor and the expen
diture of the blood and treasure of our
people of any Spanish colonies which
have co-operated with our forces against
our enemy In the late war.
"We favor the fullest Investigation of
all conditions existing In the Philippine
Islands affecting the Interests and obliga
tions of our country In the matter of their
future treatment and disposition, to the
end that final action In relation thereto
shall be Intelligent and based upon full
knowledge of all the facts that can af
fect the Interests of the United States."
The joint conference committee was In
secret session until midnight The only
conclusion reached was that the ticket
be known as the people's party, and that
have a congressman. A motion that thr
democrats hare one judge was adopted,
but afterwards reconsidered, leaving the
matter undecided.
POPULISTS IN SESSION.
At tonight's session of tne popull.it con
vention Metcalf. of Steven county, In
troduced the foilowtn resolution, which
was unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, As It Is rumored that there
Is a strong move on foot In certain quar
ters to Induce the peoprs's party to sur
render their party nam In the event of
fusion with the free silver republicans
and democrats
"Resolved. That it I the sense of this
convention that, should such fusion be
effected, the people's party will not con
sent to surrendering its party name, and
that the conference committee selected
to confer with the free silver republican
and democrats Is hereby Instructed that
It ha no power or authority to consider
such a propostllon In it deliberation
with the comerence committee appointed
by the free silver republican and demo
crat."
Cline, of Thurston, offered a motion to
the effect that the next United State
senator should come from the people's
party. Considerable discussion followed.
The matter finally was settled by laying
it on the table until the conference com
mittee made Its report to the convention.
After the convention bad concluded Its
business for the night it waa addressed
by United State Senator Turner.
