EDITOR CHEYENNE LEADER,
Dear Sir: After leaving your city

aud made our way via. Jenuey's
stucEude to the Hills. First to French
Creek, then to Spring Greek, and next
tn Rapid Greek. We prospected on
all Of those streams and found Rapid
Creek much TIE best. At this place
Rapid Greek } party divided. ]
Immediately outftteu for the Big Horn
mountains.
and my faithful friend Tom, were
ready aud on our way in bali Il day
after our party left NJ. Our pack con-

Indians, l Immediately ordered "a

Doc. Miller, of the Omaha HcruEa,
once in a while permits his better
Judgment To gain Il little advantage
over his decp-seated hostility. against
Cheyenne and Wyoming, and when
in these good natured moods, lie
does justice to our locality. In n late
issue, when giving advice in regard to
the route TO be taken in going to the
Black Hills, the Doctor says:
First buy Il ticket to CHEYENNE, on
the Union Pacific, and spend me day
III the cars. 1t is evrr so much better
THAI ten days with II wagon. Euu
save your time. your temper, and your
clothes, and while you are in the cans
you have an opportunity to read the
Omaha Daily Herald, like all other
passengers.
When you reach Cheyenne, stop at
the Railroad House, near the track,
kept by q. NJ. Jones. Ii is generally
conceived that Jones' best" is good
enough for anybody, and we have seen
gentlemen gather around camp fires
i'll the Black Hills. take things out of
their valises that looked like civilizu-
tion, and speak of Jones with All alice
tionate regard that was in lis very ma
ture too deep for anything but The
sympathy of c%ongenial natures u
divine.
The road from Cheyenne to Fort
Laramie is the best of equal distance
that ever existed in a new country.
1t has been used many wears hy the
government for the Transportation of
supplies to the frontier, aud it WAS 4
favorite route with army officers, even
core they We're bought up Inv the
Union Pacific From there the way
leads over some gentle humiliation and
through u pleasing variety of hill and
rale-principally vale.
Or course Cheyenne is the place to
buy your outfit. Never forgrt that.
Everybody in the western country
who has anything to sell or to buy,
and some who have surprisingly little
of either, 20 To Cheyenne But if YOU
happen TO find when you get to Fort
Laramie that you have forgotten any
thing essential 10 happiness, you want
to inquire for Mr.. Collins, the post
trader. Sometimes il is one Collins
you find there and sometimes lie has
gone travelling and left the other, but
you may approach either with perfect
confidence. He has everything you
need. from wolf poison and family
soap up to powder for the compassion

The Enquirer says that the testimony
in the Wood County Investigation de-
yeloped that "there were a set Of petty
bribe takers in the Legislature" No such
testimony was taken. 1t was not shown
that single dollar had been accepted by
a member, and if none was accepted, OF
course none were given, The evidence
only went to show that certain members,
in spirit Of badihage, had been Joking
among themselves in regard to the mat
ter, and that Mr.. Gordon had been as
much engaged in it as anybody else.
The editor Of the Enquirer has been about
legislative bodies sufficient to know that
this kindof badinage is not unfreduent
among men who are as pure as any in
the land. 1t probably is not prudent
but it certainly is common, The animus
of the whole concern is shown in the re-
port of the committee, which exonerates
Speaker Converse. What right had the
committee to use his name in the matter
at all2 Not scintilla of evidence was
adduced against him. He was in no way
connected with the matter, and yet he
was dragged into the report for tho pur-
pose of connecting him with the scandal
and Mr.. Gordon voted "No" on the prop
osition to exonerate, when there was no
charge. If our leading newspapers were
not 80 reckless of ceputation, they would
take some pains to inform themselveS
before jumping so hastily at conclusions.

THE World commenting upon the r,


THE World commenting upon the re-
cent able speech of Senator Bayard in
New Haven says:
Nobody knows better than Mr.. Bay
ard and nobody can tell better what a
narrow miss we have made of putting the
government of this country into the
hands of Mr.. Grant without anyrestraint.
If the Third Term bill had passed Con-
gress we should have had President
with power TO choose his own successor.
1t did not pass, thanks to Mr.. Bayard
and the resolute and patriotic men with
whom he acted. But it is no thanks to
the Republican party, which passed the
Third Term bill through the House, and
which would have passed it through the
Senate, if Morton could have forced it to
vote in that body as Butler forced it to
a vote in the House The responsibility
of the administration party for the at.
tempt to re-elect the President by fraud
and force, after it was made plain that
he could not fairly be reelected, is quite
as clear as if the attempt had succeeded,
To fasten this responsibility upon that
party should be the business of Demo
cratic speakers and Democratic news
papers. Nothing more can be needed
10 secure the active cooperation OF the
men who have heretofore acted with
what has called itself the Republican
party than to show that it has been turn
ed into a Monarchial party This is
what Mr.. Bayard did at New Haven las
night" fl3ttiIi - kilAl i'

THE TIRE

The Ohio Legislature adjourned sine
die, last Tuesday, for which we offer
thanks. The Columbus Dispatch says this
Legislature will compare favorably in its
acts with any preceding one. 1t did not
contain the ability of many former ones,
but it looked carefully after the interests
of the ax-payer, and passed many acts
which will be popular with the people.
1t was in session full thirty days longer
than it should have been, but that in a
measure, can be accounted for by the
mistake it made in meeting in adjourned
session in December instead of January.
The reports were not ready, and it was
fully a month before it got under head
1 ay. y"a @o
! The total appropriations of the Legis-
.ature just adjourned, for the current year
is 81, 1S9, 5000. The total for the two
years, $4,3S1 ,34l.56. The General As
sembly preceding it made the appropria-
tions for $49O5, ,22S97, making differ
ence in favor of this Legislature of $685.
s72.41. The reduction of taxes is 1858,
900, as compared with the proceeding
session. The number Of days for which
pay has been drawn during this session
of 1915 is 22l; the preceding Legisla-
ture of 1928 in session 245 days, max
ing difference in favor of this session of
"a days. 1t will thus be seen that the
taxpayers lave something to thank the
defunct body for, if it did waste much
valuable time in nonsensical investiga-
tions to please inquiring newspapers and
revengeful members.

THERE is not the slightest disposition
on the part of the Ring organs in this ci y
to discuss the fact that the city is default
ing at the rate of 100000 or more per
month, and this is the face of the fact
that last years taxes, which were to pay
this years expenses, were more than
twice as large as ever before. They do
not show the slightest disposition to tell
the people where their money is gone

Judges, all of whom except the treasurer,
are to receive fixed salary based on
population. The treasurer is to be paid
according to the amount ofthe tax dupli-
cate. All fees heretofore retained by
county officers, are to be paid into the
treasury, aud no salary can be drawn ex.
cept sufficient fees have been collected

TILE ELECTION

On Monday was carried on with unusual
activity, and very large vote polled.
The cutting and slashing, scratching and
mutilating, pulling and hawling, was far
beyond anything we ever witnessed.
The electioneering was mixed, and the
result is mixed. We lose our Mayor,
Mr.. Braden getting 33 votes over Mr.
Turenne Meyer. Our candidates for
Marshal and City Solicitor are also de-
feated, and we lose a Councilman in the
first ward, each party, however, getting
two in the city, Our Street Commits
sioner, Mckinney, goes in by a good ma
iority of 357.
The township ticket is also mixed.
The Democratic Trustees are reelected,
and we get two of the three constables;
Will we lose the Clerk, Treasurer and
Assessor. The Trustee vote is probably
the true party test in the township and
city.
For Justice, the Democratic candi-
date, William ]. Piero, Esq, is elected
by a handsome majority over Esquire
Slanker, an old Justice and an excellent
officer
The fact is, no rule seems to have been
followed-confusion reigned supreme.
Personal considerations had considerable
to do with some of the results. In some
cases the charge of being a Catholic was
brought to bear, 1t was the scheme OF
the Voltaire ape, and was used actively
by the Louschaefer Repository ring, and
also through the Schaefer John Donkey
Zeitung. 1t only affected Democratic can
didates and not Republicans at all. As
for instance, in the vote on Marshal, Mr..
Webb, an earnest and good Catholic,
was elected. and Rigler, on the Demo-
cratic ticket, suffered. This shows the
unhallowed trickery in the howl. 1t is
only cry usually to get Democrats to
vote the Republican ticket, and generally
only a scheme of unprincipled dema-
gogues who have axes to grind, in Water
Works, Gas Fittings or something else.
The mistake was in not organizing and
working unitedly for the whole ticket.
Matters were allowed to run too much at
loose ends, and, of course, the Demo-
cratic ticket suffered. Things were not
thus managed in old Connecticut, nor in
Cleveland, nor in Akron, NORM Wooster,
nor in Cincinnati. In all these and other
places we might name, our friends made
united and organized effort, without
being deluded by the clap trap cry of
some water works scheme.
We speak thus admonishingly to our
Democratic friends, hoping they will
wisely profit by the late unnecessary dis
aster in our city. To restore honest rule
and good government all over the coun-
try is the object Of all good citizens, and
it behooves us to work together to that
end. Hence tie Importance ofjudicious
preparatory arrangement and efficient
organization and work. A good cause
must have good management, othsrwise
it accomplishes nothing. Good judgment
to plan and energy to work are the sure
means of success. In our case there was
not sufficient counselling nor enough
concert of action.
