Lawn tennis seems to be quite a popular game in Holyoke and the new grounds near the B. & M. Hotel have great attractions for lovers of the sport. Some of the members of the club are quite skillful players and why would it not be a good idea, before the season closes, to make arrangements for a lawn tennis tournament at Holyoke and invite the players from other towns to take part in the sport. Such a friendly contest would certainly be much enjoyed both by those who took part and by the people of the town as spectators. Holyoke, Colorado, September 22nd ‘90 At a special meeting of Holyoke Post No. 51, G.A.R. held at their hall September 22nd, 1890, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted. Whereas it has pleased Almighty God to take from our midst the age mother of our townsman T.J. McDonald a member of our post, Therefore be it, Resolved that we extend to our friend and comrade and the bereaved family our kindest sympathy in their loss and we hope and believe that when the last long roll shall sound and the Grand Commander shall marshall his spirit hosts that our old comrade in arms shall meet the dear old mother forever free from the stains and trials of this world. Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the records of the Post and a copy presented to the family of the deceased. Be it further, Resolved that these resolutions be printed in the city papers. Committee - Robert White, J.S. Bennett, W.D. Kelsey It did not take the committee on credentials, selected by the republican state convention, but a short time to decide the question as to which delegation from Phillips county was entitled to seats in the convention. The delegates selected by the eight men who called themselves the “republican mass convention” of Phillips county, with the exception of one or two who sent proxies, were present at Denver when the convention was called and entered a contest for seats in the convention. R.R. Blair appeared before the committee on credentials in behalf of the contesting delegation and C.B. Timberlake in behalf of the regular delegation selected by the county convention. From all accounts, Dr. Blair’s statement of their case to the committee consisted mainly of personal abuse of the members of the other delegation and an attempt to give the committee a detailed account of all the factional and personal political squabbles that have ever taken place in the county. The committee were evidently of the opinion that they had not been appointed for the special purpose of listening to a long tirade on Phillips county personal quarrels and political gossip and they several times called Dr. Blair to order, stating that the only question before them for their consideration was the regularity of the proceedings of the county convention. In closing, Dr. Blair handed the chairman of the committee a package of papers stating that he offered them as evidence with the understanding that no one except the members of the committee should be allowed to see them, but, when informed by the chairman that Mr. Timberlake would be allowed to examine all papers offered to the committee, he said he would withdraw the papers. The nature of the papers was not made known and the author of them evidently feared to have their contents made known even to the delegates against whom they were to be used. Desperate cases require desperate measures. After hearing a statement from Mr. Timberlake the committee by a unanimous vote decided that the regular delegation were entitled to seats in the convention. Dr. Blair, in his statement to the committee on credentials, attempted to make it appear that the regular delegates had been elected by members of the alliance in the county convention. The committee on credentials recognized the fact that a man may be a consistent member of the farmer’s alliance and still be a republican and have a perfect right to act with the republican party. There were a few men in the county convention as delegates who are members of the farmer’s alliance, but they are men who have taken no part whatever in the independent political move or in the independent county convention and there was no reason why they should be politically ostracized simply because they are members of the alliance.
