A reporter called on ex-Senator Chuifec, of Colorado, at his roan in the Grand Paciile Hotel, and found the geutloman feeling {li aud by no means Inclined to submit to n forinal interview. In the course of the conversation tho Senator sald, relative to tho Colorndo delegation elected tho day before: “ Lbelleve that the delegation was fixed up by Routt. Ho saw how things went in Iltinols, and went for Grant on that account, to be on the winning sido. Thesontiment of the people of Colorady is nbuut evenly divided bo- tween Grant and Biatue, and even tho delega- that as it stands has a strong second choico for Blaine. Any of tho candidates could carry tho State. However, I hive just come from New York, and haven't boon in Colorado sinco tnst fall.” “How aro your own sentiments?" asked tho roporter, “Well, personally, £ would bo in favor of Grint if there were any general enll for hls nomination, but thore [s no such call, and fn ite pince 1s tho most bitter antagoniam, I don't Ike tho methods by which they seck to noniinuto him, and [don't sce how tho people can indorse Buch tricks.
