Resolved, BY the Republican partyQ

gates in Convention assembled, That we
most heartily endorse the sentiments
promulgated in the platform adopted
by the late Territorial Republican con-
vention that met at Rawlins on the l4th
instant;
That we accept the nomination of W.
w. Corlett as a candidate for Delegate
in Congress as the most fit that could
have been made; and we, his neighbors,
who have 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 as may be necessary to locate and
open good wagon roads on the most
feasible and direct lines between Chey-

and we do hereby pledge to them our
united support in all judicious meas
ures they may adopt to carry out such
an enterprise.

Betting In New York.

The Tribune of Saturday says: In
the betting pools the odds have remain
ed steadily in favor Of Hayes. These odds
have been about 100 to 10 ever since the
nominations; the greatest fluctuations
were on last Wednesday evening when
a pool of 525 on Hayes to 500 on Tilden
wass sold. This seemingrise in the estimate
of Tilden's chances is ascribedto Grants
proclamation concerning southern trou-
bles. A statement has been publish
ed betting upon the presiden-
tial election was even, is only true
in the case of the French mutual pools,
wherein one pool of 10 tickets sold upon
each of the candidates. The odds in
favor of Hayes has been about the same
as those offered in favor of Barnes in
the Ohio election and on Williams in
the Indiana election. The betting up
on the success of the presidential ticket
in this state is about 100 to 65 in favor
of Tilden; there has been considerable
deviation from those figures, the pools
varying from Tilden 100, Hayes 80 to
Tilden 500 and Hayes 400.

A BLOODY

in the life of Mexican Joe Yas published
In the Times a month or two ago, en-
titled 1.-The Indian Headsman.o The
hero of this incident is this same Texas
Joe, or Mexican Joe. He was carrying
the mail as q pony express from Custer
TO Deadwood when he was attacked by
Indians. He managed 10 get away
from the redskins, and In his retreat
succeeded in killing Medicine Lodge, a
prominent Sioux chief, whose head be
carried with him in his mail sack to
Deadwood. Joe came to the states 10
enjoy the reward given him for his ex-
plot, but returned to Deadwood only to
get into this last scrape. He Is a brave
andldesperate man. His bitterest mortal
enemy is the notorious "Persimmon
Bill" the scourge of the Black Hill
trail. Bill and Joe have been at war
for some time, and when they meet
there will be one, If not two, bad men
snuffed out as quick as a pistol can
crack. The police Of this city have been
at work ON this case several days and
have kept it a profound secret from the
reporters. But if they had been fully
~conversant with the character of Next
can Joe:they would hayesayed themselves
trouble and labor after he discovered he
was pursued. He will be found in the
Indian Territory kansas City Times.

TEXAS JOE.
A Desperate In Kansas Chased from the
Black Hills-Is Robbed and
Then lie Disappears.

Last Sunday morningtwo well dressed
men arrived in this city and registered
at Ebersold's. on the corner of Fourth
and Main streets. After refreshing
themselves and casting off the dust of
travel they sought the police h%eadquar-
tiers and made known their business.
They had a rather queer story to tell,
but one which the police authorities
have no reason to doubt. The eldest,
a man giving his name as Sass or Seis,
stated that he was from Deadw0od
City, in the Black Hills, and that he
had been robbed of $500 or $500 in that
city by a man named Texas Joe, alias
Mexican Joe. He stated further that
he had followed Joe from the Black
Hills to Kansas City, and expected to
find him here and recover his lost money.
The details of the robbery, as repre-
scented by the man claiming to have
been robbed, are but meagre. Sass, or
Seis, says he was on a 'slittle tearr or
s.jamboree,n when Mexican Joe sud-
denly became very affectionate and So
ciable. They were drinking together
in true Deadwood style, when Joe, in
one of his repeated embraces, succeeded
in relieving him of $500 or 5000 in
money. When he sobered up Joe was
gone and was far upon his way toward
Cheyenne. After a few brief prepara-
lions
he STARTED IN PURSUIT
and kept it up as fast as horseflesh
could carry him. But the half-breed,
cunning and used to all the arts and
stratagems of frontier life, managed to
elude pursuit and reached the settle
ments afterward instead of before his
pursuers. But the pursuit was kept up.
Finding that his man was not before
him Sass retraced his steps and watched
for his game. But Joe managed to elude
him, and reached Kansas City last Sat
urday morning. But on the way to
this city Joe had met with an adven-
ture. On the Missouri Pacific train,
between Leavenworth and Kansas City,
he fell in with a slick talking young
man named Sandy Short, better known
as the part proprietor of the little sa-
loon called 1.-THE OHice,n on Main
street, just south of Bullene, Moore &
Emery's. They got to drinking togeth-
err pretty freely and Joe
PULLED OUT A SCALP
to show as a trophy of his valor in one
of his trips in the Black Hills. In max
ing this display Joe lost the money he
is accused Of taking from Sass. Sandy
Short is suspected Of coming into pos
session Of this money and has been ar
rested and is now In Jail. To make the
matter more interesting Chief of Police
Hook, of Leavenworth, and Officer God
dard, of the same city, came down to
assist in working up the cas and the
capture Of Joe. The half-breed was
last seen on Saturday night in the Wal
nut Street Theatre, since which time he
has disappeared. His pSseiers left OH
the Fort Scott train on Sunday evening
for Texas Or the Indian Territory where
Joe is supposed to have gone. Sandy
Short Is stin in jail at this point.

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-P 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
ton of our common country.
Resolved, That we favor home-rule
and self-government in the Territories,
and in the filling 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;
Resolved, 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 i'm
portation of Cinnamon to this
try has driven out Of employment
q 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
in the matter meets u hearty appro-
val.
Resolved, That we utterly and UNI
qualiiedly 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 owe
eighty of the government and as being
puerile in policy anda failure in results.
We therefore ask for such changes
in the policy of the government
respecting Indian affairs, rs will sub
ject these savages at all times to the
efficient and absolute control Of the ma
ton, and will at the same time destroy
the Indian ring, its aiders and abet-
tors
Resolved, That we return thanks to
President Grants administration for
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 a,
now being carried out by Genera
Crook and the brave officers and soldier.

Resolred, That it is.the duty Of thu
government to open to exploration ant
settlement every acre Of the publ,

public lands of tho United States should
have full protection and every en-
enlargement, wherever they may be
We, therefore, believe it to be the dut.
