citizens for all losses sustained in con-
sequence of a failure TO afford such
protection. We also demand that al
settlers upon the ShOshone Indian
reservation, in this Territory, shall
be fully compensated for their
improvements, made in good faith
thereon, before being compelled to va
cate the same; and TO 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 coun-
try and the extension of settlements
taking place in said country demand
that the Government should at once
construct from some point on the Union
Pacific a wagon road through such
country 10 the Yellowstone National

Laramie County Republican Platform.

Resolred, by the Republican party Of
Laramie county, represented by its dele
gates IN Contention 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 14th
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-
enne, in Laramie county, and Custer
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.

Audible Speech Conveyed Two Miles by
Telegraph.

The Boston Advertiser of Oct. 10
prints an interesting account Of an ex-
pertinent in carrying on a conversation
by word of mouthover a telegraph wire,
made on the evening of the 9th inst. by
Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas
Watson. Telephones were placed at
either end of a telegraph-line owned by
the Walworth Manufacturing Company,
extending from their Office in Boston to
their factory in Cambridgeport, a dis
lance of about two miles. The COM
pany's battery, consisting of nine Dan
iels cells, was removed from the circuit,
and another of ten carbon elements sub
stituted. Articulate conversation then
took place through the wire. The
sounds, at first faint and indistinct, be-
came suddenly quite loud and intelligi-
BILE. MI. Bell in Boston and Mr.. Wat
son in Cambridgeport took notes of
what was said and heard, and the COM
parison of the two records shows that
the tranmission was almost perfectly
accurate. Conversation was carried on
for about half an hour, generally in an
ordinary tone of voice, but often in a
whisper. The credit of this important
discovery is due to Mr.. Bell. p

Military Protection for Whites and Blacks.

A telegram from Charleston, South
Carolina, of the Goth inst, says: Judge
Magrath and Gen. Densaussure to-day
called ON Gov. Chamberlain and Gen.
Ruger, to request the presence of United
States troops in Charleston county, to
insure peace and order at the coming
election. They appeared as the repre-
sentatives of white citizens. Cham
berlain and Gen. Ruger gave them as
surance that perfect impartiality should
be observed in their respective official
acts. This visit Of leading white citi-
zens to seek aid Of United States troops
is regarded here as conclusive proof
that troops are not regarded as partisan
agencies, and that the government pur-
poses relate only to public peace and
safety.

The Fight Against Tammany in New York

-
An important caucus was held last
Tuesday, in New York City at the house
of Mr.. Tilden, at which the leading
managers of the Democratic party at
tended. The local situation was the
subject under discussion; the details
have not been made fully public, but 1t
is known that the adherents of Tammany
Hall are greatly excited over the knowl-
edge that the main purpose of the meet
ing was to get rid of John Kelly, a man.
ager of Tammany Hall. Utter distrust
of Kelly and his general committee is
felt by Tilden's friends; they believe he
will sacrifice presidential and state
tickets to obtain local success; and even
il Mr.. Kelly himself were disposed to
be honest in the matter, it is not believ-
ed he can control his 800 colleagues in
the general committee. Each and every
one of these ward and assembly politi-
clans understands that the failure to
elect the Tammany ticket is to them
political death, and having only a gen.
eral interest in the general election, a
very special interest in the success of the
local ticket, they are believed to be capa-
BILE OF any trading which will help them
in this very dangerous emergency.

The Germans, very naturally, are in,
dignant at the oft-repeated twaddle
that the German vote is going solid for
Tilden because Sigel and other Germans
are the advocates for Tilden. They re-
sent it as belittling the German mind.
They declare that among Germans there
is as much individuality of thought and
action as among any other nationality
or race; that Germans think and act as
Independently as Americans; and that
this campaign will prove nc exception
to their general course. They love
freedom, they hate slavery in all its
forms. They emigrated to this coun-
try in the pursuit of freedom, of indie
pendence in thought and action, and
declare that the great mass of their vot-
ers will be found in November, las in all
times past under the banner and shout
ing the names Of the candidates of the
only party whose history and creed are
guarantees of that liberty and independ-
ence in the pursuit of which they sought
the shores of America.

A singular typographical error occurs
in ap issue of the Marion Iowa) Reg
lister. 1t is copying from the Dubuque
Times the dilemma of a ''glorious''
young Tildenite in Dubuque who is
greatly enamored of a beautiful and
spirited Hayes maiden.s Each love the
other. Their only difference is in poll
ties, but the lady is memorable, and will
only agree to marry the Tildenite, says
the Register, ''on condition that the
wedding takes place after Hades' cleo
tion.n "Hades,r or hell. We always
had a notion that such marriages ended
in Hades, but according to the Register
the maiden wants Hades before mar
riage. Well, she, no doubt, in COM
mon with the whole country, will be
treated to Hades, and plenty of it, if
Tilden is elected.

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
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;
Resolred, That the Introduction of
Chinese labor into this country is
fraught with serious and dangerous
consequences to that system of free Ia
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 coun-
try has driven out Of employment
a large class of native and foreign-born
citizens; and that it retards t~heprogress
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
lin the matter meets III hearty appro-
val.
Resolced, That we utterly and I'M
qualifedly condemn the whole Indian
policy Of the United States-so far as
relates to the practice of making
treaties with these savage and barbarohs
tribes-as inconsistent with the sover-
eighty Of the government and rs being
puerile in policy and a failure in results.
We therefore ask for such changes
in the policy of the government
respecting Indian affairs, as will sub
ject these sayages 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
Resolced, 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 as
now being carried out by General
Crook and the brave officers and soldiers
of his command:

They tell this story in Maine: Mr..
Coombs, Superintendent of the Knox
q Lincoln railroad, is a genial and pop
ular man, but a Democrat withal. He
had shown some kindness to an Irish
man living at Rockland, and the latter
approached him the day after the late
election, brimful of happiness and said,
MI. Coombs, you vas good to me last
spring and SO I've voted the Black Re
publican ticket just to PLACE ye." Pat
had new dreamed that so kind and in
telligent a gentleman could be anything
but a Republican.

The man who enlisted and served his
country as a soldier respects and h0nors
the man who battled against him in the
field. But there is an impossible gulf
between the ex-soldier and such men as
Voorhees, and Hendricks. Never I'M
der any circumstances, can an honest
soldier recognize a dishonest enemy, an
enemy too cowardly to come into open
field, but who lurked in places of safety,
and declared the war a failure, and the
President a smutty old tyrant. We
favor amnesty for all, except the stay
at-home northern rebel; for him we have
no pardon.
