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 fide 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 it's 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 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 our hearty appro-
val.
Resolved, That we utterly and un-
qualihedly condemn the whole Indian
policy of the United Statcs-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 rs being
puerile in policy and a failure in results.
We therefore ask for such changes
respecting Indian affairs, as will SUBJ
efficient and absolute control of the ma
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 as
o being carried out by General
Crook and the brave officers and soldiers
OF his command;
Resolved, That it is the duty Of the
government to open to exploration and
settlement every acre Of the public
domain, and that settlers upon the
public lands of the United States should
have full protection and every en-.
enlargement, wherever they may be.
We, therefore, believe it to be the duty
Of the United States to fully protect
such settlers from Indian depreciation
and hostilities, and to indemnify sucf
citizens fox all losses sustained In con

ATERRigLE DEATH.


Dying Of Thirst on the Colorado Desert.
The San Diego (Csl.) World, in q re-
cent issue. says; "From Mr.. Cassem
Hirche, of San Louis Obispo. who has
been prospecting through Arizona, So
nora and New Mexico, and who arrived
here yesterday evening, on his return
home, we learn some particulars in re-
gard to the man Henry Smith, who
persisted on the Colorado Desert SOM
sixty days ago. Mr. Hirche, in COM
pany with some other gentleman, came
up with the unfortunate man some two
hours before he breathed his last. He
was perfectly SAINT up to the last mo-
ment, and told his story as best he
could. From the disconnected way in
which it was told, Mr.. Hirche was en-
abled to learn that the deceased's name
was Henry Smith, and that he was on
his way from California to Arizona;
that he had wandered from the main
road and got lost, and had been with
out water ninety-six hours and that
during the last twelve hours his life
was sustained by catching and drink
ing his own as well as the urine of his
two burros. After he became too weak
to do this any longer, in his desperate
condition he took a razor. cut his arm
and drank his own blood, and finally
his tongue became so swollen that he
could not breathe freely. He took his
razor and cut his throat on each side of
the wind-pipe, thus affording a means
of getting breath. He had on his per-
son four Mexican dollars and five of
Sanrita placer gold dust. He had also
with him two burros, saddle and blank
cts. The money found on his person
was paid out for his burial expenses.
While rolling in the sand he had lost
his pocket-book, containing 500 in
greenbacks. He said that he had form
erly lived In st. Louis, Mo-, and that
he had a sister living there now, and
said that her name was Miss Sarah
Smith; that she had been married, but
was divorced, had taken her maiden
name, and said she lived on Caronielet
avenue, near the Arsenal, and request
ed she be informed of his sad end. He
picked out his burial place, gave direc-
lions as to how he should be buried,
which were followed. Deceased said he
was % years of age. There was a man
travelling with Smith, but he would
not give his name other than John, and
said he had been in Mexico some time,
and did not want them to know who he
was.

THE

The New York Times Of Sunday has
the following important editorial on
the political outlook:
Information from most trustworthy
sources including our own specials and
dispatches to the Republican National
Committee as late as 8 O'Clock last
evening, indicates that all doubt about
the election of Hayes and Wheeler have
been removed by extraordinary mani
festions of public sentiment during the
last 10 days. Especially in this city has
great change taken place, evinced by
votes in public places, notably at the
New York Stock Exchange, where, ten
days ago there was a majority for Til
den, while on Friday the vote stood 1893
for Hayes to 204 for Tilden. Many sim
liar changes are noted, caused by the
general uprising Of bankers, merchants,
manufacturers and other business men,
produced in a great measur by general
conviction that the election Of Tilden
means imposition upon the country Of
great burdens of debt and taxation to
pay war claims. The fact that Tilden's
frantic call upon Southern Democrats
to help him by agreeing not to press
claims, has been responded to by only
live out of fourteen southern states ap-
pealed to, and not by Missouri, which
has already issued over two millions of
claim greenbacks purporting to be valid
claims against the United States, has
added to the growing d~istrust. Almost
unfavorable impression has also been
produced by the issue by the Democratic
National Committee of an address
warning the country against an ex-
pected statement, which the committee
says is already printed, Of VIM NJ.
Tweed duplicating Tilden in his plumb
ering of New York City. As a result
of these late and universally prevalent
manifestations of the tendency Of the
people, no confidence of a Democratic
victory is shown by any one except Til
den himself, and the gamblers in the
pool rooms who have been employed to
make fictitious bets to be telegraphed
for effect in the country. As a BUM
mary Of present indications it may be
stated that the projected Democratic
frauds in this city will be prevented and
the majority kept down to thirty-five
or forty thousand, which will be more

"when Germany's honor or interes

when Germany's honor O interest
demands, then, and only then will she
take up arms" replies Emperor Will
lam, when interrogated on his attitude
toward the Eastern Question. This is
an indication that Germany will not
take active part in the disjoining Of
Turkey, and is encouraging to Rus
sian sentiment in the matter. In this
connection it is of interest to learn that
a new theory is being promulgated up
on the stand that Great Britain will
take in the threatened struggle. Though
not fromauthoritative sources, it isgiven
as follows: That Great Britain will

-An0fhe1' Letter.

Gov. Tilden, the great usufruct letter
writer. has again dipped his pen in ink.
This last production has the merit OF
briefness, when compared with his former
letters. 1t occupies only about column.
The reason for its issue is the fact that
naughty Republicans have stated that il
he were elected, host OF rebel claims
would be allowed.
Mr.. Tilden says he shall oppose the
payment of all unjust and disloyal claims
which may be presented, contrary to the
Constitution. lie allows that such claims
may, by enactment of Congress, come
to the Executive, in spite of the Amend
ments; but declares that he should veto
them all, il he were elected. No doubt
Mr.. Tilden sees the necessity of making
such disclaimer of intention to violate the
Constitution, or he would have spared
his weary brain the trouble of concocting
such IN episile. Bat in his effort to set
himself right befoIe the public, be has
acknowledged the correctness of the very
point which Republicans have so long
maintained, viz that dishonest. rebel
claims may be allowed by Congress.
Let US suppose that Mr.. Tilden honestly
proposes TO disallow sll such claims how
long is he likely to remain at variance
with the leaders of that party which must
elect him if be is elevated TO the Presi-
Dental chair He could not prove I'M
grateful to them; and ii he did. the bills
might. and in all probability would be
passed over his head by rebel Congress.
Mr.. Tilden has perhaps placed himself
in better light before the public by this
letter; but, at the same time. his acknowl.
edgment will open the eyes OF many
loya! citizens acting temporarily with the
Democratic party, and they. seeing the
dangers likely to arise from confederate
restoration, will use their influence Tor,
and cast their vote with that party which
alone is pledged to fight all rebeldom,
both on the field aud in the halls OF jas
tice.
