Laramie County Republican Platform.

Resolred, by the Republican party ot
Laramie county, represented by its dele
gates in Convention assembled, That we
most heartily endorse the sentiments
promulgated in the platform adopted
by the late Territorial Republican o N
vention that met at Rawlins on the 14th
instant;
That we accept the nomination of W.
w. Corlett as o candidate for Delegate
in Congress as the most fit that could
have been made; and we, his neighbors,
who haze known him for many years,
most unreservedly recommend him to
the people of this Territory as a man of
marked ability, of sterling integrity,
and great honesty;
That we are in favor of economy and
retrenchment in the management of
our county affairs, and that in future
we shall hold all county officers to a
strict accountability in the performance
of their official duties;
That we most earnestly recommend
and urge the Board of County Commits
sioners of Laramie county to take such
action al may be necessary to locate and
open good wagon roads ,on the most
feasible and direct lines between Chey-
enne, in Laramie county, and Custcr
City and Deadwood, in the Black Hills,
and we do hereby pledge to them our
united support in all judicious meas
ures they may adopt to carry out such
an enterprise.

sequence of a failure to affor3 ucl
protection. We also demand that al
settlers upon the Shoshone Indian
reservation, in this Territory, sla u
be fully compensated for their
improvements, made in good faith
thereon, before being compelled TO va
cate the same; and 10 encourage and
promote the permanent occupation and
settlement of our Territory, we ask
that sufficient appropriations be made
by the general government to secure
the survey of all public lands within
our limits where occupation and settle
ment is practicable, and especially that
all such lands recently eliminated from
the Shoshone Indian reservation may
be surveyed without delay;
Resolred, That the establishment OF
military posts in the Wind River u
try and the extension of settlements
taking place in said country demand
that the Government should ut once
construct from some point on the Union
Pacific a wagon road through such
country to the Yellowstone National
mark.

Election Frauds in Ohio.

Later returns from the Ohio canvass
reveal astonishing Democratic frauds;
there can be no doubt that Banning
was elected by his rs majority over
Stanley Matthews through fraud. In
formation has reached Columbus that
one man offers to prove that he was to
be paid 81 1000 for having one gang re-
peat sixteen times. A thorough can
vass of one precinct of one ward shows
that Of fifteen persons who voted in that
single precinct at the late election, not
the slightest trace can be found; old
residents, political leaders and saloon
keepers of the ward have no knowl-
edge of them. 1t appears by investiga-
ton that nearly this ratio of frauds was
maintained in two or three other wards
in that district; indeed it is doubtful
whether the Democrats on the Hamil-
ton county ticket are elected by honest
votes. In the October election week
10000 people from Ohio were regis
tered at the Ohio building at Philadel-
phia, of these 5000 were men and 5 1000
of them Republicans, making a loss to
the Republican State ticket of not less
than 1900. 1t is believed that Indiana
lost quite as many Republican votes
from absentees at Philadelphia.

Fort Laramie Precine,
Wyoming Republican Platform.

Resolved, That upon all questions of
national concern, we cordially endorse
and adopt the platform Of principles
recited by the National Republican
Convention held at Cincinnati, and we
earnestly desire the election of the NOM
inees of that convention to the offices
of President and Vice. President of the
United States, respectively, believing
that such a result would in the present
aspect of affairs be the only safe guar
anty Of the permanency of the American
Union and the prosperity of every Sec
tion of our common country.
Resolved, That we favor home-rule
and self-government in the Territories,
and in the filing of all offices therein,
including the important office of Dele
gate in Congress, with honest and COM
petent citizens, selected from actual and
bona fde residents of the Territory;
Resolred, That the introduction Of
Chinese labor into this country is
fraught with serious and dangerous
consequences to that system of free la
Dor to which the Republican party has
ever been committed and that we
condemn every system and policy in
the Government which deprives la
Dor of its dignity; and that the inn
portation Of Cinnamon to this coun-
try has driven out of employment
a large class of native and foreign-born
citizens; and that it retards the progress
and development Of the territories; and
that We highly commend the action Of
the National Republican Convention
in calling upon Congress to investigate
the effect of Chinese immigration upon
the laboring classes of this country,
and that the prompt action of Congress
il The matter meets our hearty appro-
val.
Resolved, That we utterly and un-
qualiiedlys condemn the whole Indian
policy of the United States-so far as
relates to the practice of making
treaties with these savage and barbarous
tribes-as inconsistent with the sover-
eighty of the government and as being
puerile in policy and failure in results.
We therefore ask for such changes
in the policy of the government
respecting Indian affairs, as will SUBJ
ject these savages at all times to the
efficient and absolute control of the ma
tion, and will at the same time destroy
the Indian ring, its aiders and abet-
tors
Resolved, That we return thanks to
President Grants administration fol-
the important steps taken to rid the
northern part of this Territory of our
old enemies, the Sioux, and that we
cordially approve of its Indian policy as
now being carried out by Genera
Crook and the brave officers and soldier.

WHAT WOULD BE THE EFFECT.
The Probable Influence in This Country Of
a General War in Europe,

New York, October 18.-In regard
/; to the prospects of war in Europe and
| influence ON the markets and m
in this country, The Daily Bulletin OF
I tomorrow, a leading financial paper,
will contain the following in its editor
ial columns:
"As thet to financial bearings of the war,
! the way in which the news was taken
yesterday by Wall street shows that
something has been learned by past ex-
p~eriences. 1t has been found that the
outbreak of a war in Europe disturbs
our exchanges only momentarily, and
that one of its sure effects is to create a
preference for American investments as
the least subject to sympathy with the
fiuctuating political influences. The
great uncertainty that must surround
the issue of the European. governments
under the danger that exists of the wal
assuming European dimensions, is cal
culated to induce a very important de-
mand for United States bonds and for
the best of our corporate mortgages, and
it would not be surprising to see this
effect soon appearing. In short Ameri-
can credit in all its forms will stand at
an advantage at London as compared
with hat of other countries, and a fair
movement in whatever depends upon
our credit may be expected to result.
Financial interests are likely to be also
quickened by a certain amount of spec
ulative business produced through fiuc-
tuations in values and greater activity
in certain interests. Railroads will be
benefited by a freer movement in our
~exportable products and the shipping
trade will derive an advantage from the
increased shipments of the bulkier
commodities. Upon the whole, there
fore, we may anticipate all appearances
of a more active movement in general
trade, and a more buoyant tone in some
important markets, but nevertheless, it
would be a great mistake to suppose
that we can be enriched in the long run
from what impoverishes the rest Of the
world with which we have commercial

Registration Frauds In New York.

For several days past the Republicans
Of New York have been somewhat de-
pressed by the immense registration Of
..sels III New f0rk, Brooklyn anC
Jersey City. 1t has been openly charged
that Tilden, who engineered the gigan-
tic frauds Of 1868, is now doing the
same thing in his own behalf. 1t is
shown that houses in all three cities,
not capable of holding five people, are
given as the residence of scores of vo-
t,rs. Hundreds of names are regis
tered in all three cities over and over
again; but the authorities, particularly
the government authorities, are fully
alive to the danger, and are making
most strenuous efferts to stop the
frauds.

John Morrisey has broken away from
the anti-Tammany gang in New York,
and gone over to John Kelley. In the
st. Louis convention the two Johns
were bitter foes, the old bruiser and gam
bier fighting for "Tilden and Reform"
and the Tammany Boss swearing
that Tilden meant defeat for the Demo-
cracy. Morrissey's going over to Kelley
is significant. 1t shows how deep
seated and potent is the anti Tilden
wing Of the party, and that, even with
the advantage of his position, the old
fox is losing ground right at home.
