CHEYEN&E, WYo., July, 1876
To the Free and Independent F0ters Of
Wyogisg
BELOVED BRETHREN:-Haying de-
cided to forego the pleasures of joining
the Cheyenne Independent Rangers in
their march against the dusky minions
Of Sitting Bull, / have concluded to en-
ter the field as the Independent red-hot
candidate for Delegate to Congress
from Wyoming Territory, election,

Nrstly-Immediately upon the an
nouncement of my election l will give
to each and every voter, upon presenta-
ton of a certificate from the clerks and
judges of election to the effect that the
holder of the certificate voted for me.
a free pass to the Centennial, tenpounds
of Black Hills gold, $1,000 worth of
stock in and a life pass over the Chey-
enne, Black Hills q Arctic Ocean rail-
road, an enterprise which, by-the-way,
l promise to have completed and trains
running thereon from Cheyenne to the
line of British America within 60 DAYS
from the date of my election.
SecondiyI promise to build BRAN
ches of my railroad to every p~ostofice,
stock ranch and mine in the Territory;
to put in side-tracks and erect palatial
depots at any and every point desired,
and to build large, commodious and ele-
CANT hotels at all stations, where the
people may obtain the best accommoda-
tions gratuitously, GROWERS being paid
literally for condescending to stop at
those hotels.
IhsrdlyEPremiums for clubs of vo-
tiers for myself will be given as follows /:
To the getter-up of a club of five, a post
Office; a club of ten, a c~onsulship in

the choice of the m~inistership to Eng
land, France or Russia; a club of one
thousand, a seat in the Presidents cab
met.
Fo,rthiy-I have appointed Colonel
Murrin, p. j.. Mcnamara, Geo. G..
Masten and G. Hoffman, the leading
druggists of Cheyenne, as my agents
for the dissemination of family medi-
cines and other arguments in favor of
my election. Proprietors of sample
rooms and all other influential political
wire-pullers will be promptly furnished
with campaign documents by making
requisition upon these gentlemen.
L. S.-My agents request me to state
that owing to the scarcity of other suit
able packages in which to ship cam
paign documents, they will be compelled
to put up and send them in barrels,
kegs, demijohns and bottles, all of
which have been labeled with the famil-
lar legends of "Old Crow "Old Her.
mitage,'' ''Stonewall,u ssBourbon.,
"Rye,'' "Scotch, y ssCabinet,r ETC., but
the recipients should not be misled by
the labels of the packages, as they con
tain nothing but legitimate campaign
documents, which / sincerely hope will
be placed where they will do the most
good.
In conclusion l would say that my
friends are certain of success under
the above liberal conditions, and that
as 1 desire to go to Washington in prime
condition for winning all the loose
change of wicked Congressman who are
familiar with the game of poker, l shall
take a trip to Europe, returning on the
day after election, thus avoiding the
work and worry of the campaign.
Bidding you a fond farewell until the
ides of November, 1 subscribe myself,
The Servant of the Public,
