ArrAcliEp.-Thc small steamer

Ivy Capt. Weir, has been launched, but
has been attached by a Portland crcdi-

there will be considerable having about
the matter, and perhaps defeat the en-
tcrprisc altogether. 1t viii hc too bad
if Capt. Weir is unable to carry ont his
project of putting boat on Lewis river.

for that river and It's trade, and would
doubtless be 4 gacat convenience 10 the

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-12-09

The recent presidential contest has
shown more than ever before the pur-
chasing power of money in controlling
elections. 1t has been used unsparing-
ly by n of the candidates to buy up
States. Since the result has been trem-
bling in the balance, we have seen how
a State Supreme Court has been tam
pered with, and two legislators openly
bought, while the use of money can be
clearly traced in Florida and Louisiana
in manipulating the returns in different
counties.
How long the people are to rest salts
fed with government installed by such
means, is a mere question of time. In
situations which armed men could not
overthrow will totter and fall to pieces
of their own weight so soon as the peo-
pie come to understand that their voice
is stifled by corruption, fraud, intimida-
ton and violence.
We are not very far from the end of
free government when the verdict of en-
tire States can be overborne and the
will of the majority crushed out by law
lessness on the n hand, and the fradu-
lent use of money on the other, and it
is time for patriots of all parties to
pause and think of it.

by handing the letter to an officer, an
act which led to the trial, conviction
and sentence of the wretch. Five
years" was what the Judge said in part
ing with the prisoner.
Chicago reporters sometimes become
greatly excited. A spiritualistie-look-
ing man remarked to an officer on the
street the other day that he was deter
mined to commit suicide withintwenty-
four hours. He then passed on out of
sight with a strange look in his eye.
And that is why the reporters are so
agitated to-day. They know what is
going to happen, but don't know when
Or where. Each is afraid the other will
get the item first, and all feel angryand
unforgiving toward the man because he
did not come around and announce the
spot where the matinee would come off,
that they might be on hand to take ac-
curate notes. Such things as this go to
make up the sorrow of a press ambassa-
doris life. 1t is far more trying than
getting knocked down, for when a re-
porter is being trampled under by some
enraged and furious party he is right
there-note book and alias neal as he
can be to the scene of interest, without
intruding.

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
President Hayes Sure to be Inaugurated.

A Washington telegram to the New
York Tribune, December Sth, says
Republicans are confident tonight that
the country will accept the Inaugural
ton of Hayes, as the rightful solution
of the presidential complication; they
believe Democrats by their conduct
since election have excited distrust and
alarm. The worst features in the con-
duct of the Democrats are stated as
follows: First, they endeavored to bride
a Hayes elector in South Carolina to
betray his trust, and made direct offers
to him of large sums of money; second,
they made a similar corrupt proposition
to of Hayes electors in Louisiana.
third, they tried to purchase one of the
Republican members of the Florida
board of state canvassers, in order to
secure a majority ON the board, and
have the electoral vote of the state re-
turned for Tilden; fourth, they induced
the Governor of Oregon to trample upon
his own oath of Office and give a certifi-
cate of election to a Democrat who had
no shadow of legal right to the certii-
cate. 1t is held here that Hayes has
received 1856 lawfully cast electoral
votes, and there is no Republican in
Washington tonight who does not be-
liexe he will be inaugurated President
of the United States.

hi OREGON FRAUD.
A Prominent Democratic Authority.

Mr.. Groesbeck, one of the Democra-
tic leaders of Ohio, expresses the opin-
ion that the Democratic party would lose
the case by forcing its claim to the 1e5
votes with the one from Oregon as de-
Gliding the election.
He rather regards as important the
strategic movement by the Democratic
party to enforce inquiry beyond the GER
tifcates issued from South Carolina
Florida and Louisiana to Hayes cleo
tors. In this opinion he is seconded by
a majority of the Democratic leaders,
and it is not at all probable that the
election of Tilden will be insisted upon
by reason of this one vote from Ore
gon.
