and hopes are entertained that re-
action will take place. If the dis

down, and increase the already too

Four years ago Grantism absorbed
the Republican party. The founders
of the organization, Sumner, Greeley
and others, whose motto was "princi-
pile not spoils, were compelled to take
back seats, and the Logans. Buffers,
Mosbys and other apostles of the new

councils of the Autocrat of the White

the friends of Hayes, who, since his

his intention to establish an Office hold

soldier Ito fortune and fame unknown)
and Miss Ellison, a young lady who has
yet to celebrate her fifteenth birthday.
A LEADER reporter succeeded in learn
ing that the mother of the bride was at
first violently opposed to the match.
Young Kreyser, however, laughed at all
obstacles and succeeded in hiding his
bunch of sweetness in so secure a place
that the maternal eye totally failed to
unearth the stronghold in which her
matrimonially inclined daughter was
ensconced. This bold move on the part
of the soldier lover had the desired
effect, and but few words were neces-
sary to bring the ..old lady" to terms.
She appeared at the clerks office last
evening, gave her full consent to the
union of the lovers, and now they are
happy.

The death angel has again descended
upon u city, and this time has borne
away a most cstimable young man, one
who has by his quiet, gentlemanly de-
meanor gained the love and confidence
of all with whom he had either business
or social relations. MI. George E. Yum
ker, our deputy county clerk, died yes
terday. Mr.. Yunker was taken sick
at a hotel. and Mr.. Simpson, county
clerk, at once caused him to be re-
moved to his own residence, where he
received the very best care and medical
attendance. The disease was mountain
fever, and it had such a firm hold upon
our young friend that medical skill was
of nc avail, and yesterday he answered
the call of the grim boatman and passed
''over the river. Mr.. Yunker was a
man of kind and generous impulses,
modest and unassuming manners, and
one who made friends wherever he
went. His loss is sincerely mourned
by his many Cheyenne friends.

The Wyoming Democrats and Polygamy.

The Wyoming Democrats and Polygamy.
The Wyoming papers are agitating the
Mormon question at a somewhat live
ly rate. As the readers Of the Trib-
une are well aware, both parties have
put forward their candidates for the
position Of Congressional delegate. ".
W. Corlett has been nominated for
that position by the Republicans and
w. r. Steele by the Democrats, The
race will be close and all parties are do
ing everything in their power to carry
their points. A considerable portion of
the population of some portions of the
Territory, is composed of Mormons.
Their votes are quite important, and it
is claimed that the Democrats have
nailed them by getting instructions to
them from Brigham to support Steele.
If this is true, it is reasonable to pre-
sumo that the Democratic candidate
has pledged himself to the Mormon in
%terest, and ought to be enough to on
vince the thinking democrats who are
not in favor of the spread'of polygamy,
that their candidate is not the man to
win. The movement will certainly re-
dound to the favor of the Republicans.

How Badly sours Got his Dinner.
By HANDY ANDY.

Last Sunday Badly picked up . Met
ropolitan hotel ticket on the street,
good on its face for p meals, but un-
fortunately each and every of those
p figures had undergone . punching
process, which rendered the ticket use
less. Badly was hungry and he had
heard the boys blowing about the
''bully feed'' at the Metropolitan, par
ticularly about those Sunday dinners.
Hunger is said to stimulate the brain,
and Badly sat down o. the curbstone
to think owe the situation. His mus
ings were evidently satisfactory, for he
muttered to himself: "I1l risk it, any
way" and the dinner hour found him
on hand at Leighton's Widespread Ia
bles.
The walters were somewhat shy, but
Badly managed to give them a glimpse
of his ticket barring the holes" and
they took his order. Two bowls of
stewed oysters, a pound or two Of boil
ed Mackinaw trout with oyster sauce,
breast Of turkey, stewed chicken, fried
oysters, pie, cakes, cheese and fruits dis
appeared like lightning before
his attack, and Badly rose with
the remark: ''Thats what I call a
square meal"
Walking upto the Office. he produced
his ticket with the utmost sang froid
and handed it to the clerk. "Why this
is all punched,'' said that worthy.
"An punched,n replied Badly, as he
looked 1t over, 'sby thunder, it is, but !
can lick the man that punched that last
hole"
Uncle George, the proprietor, was
standing by-an interested spectator,
and this was a little too much for his
well known good nature. Badly looked
at him and made for the door. George
followed and Biff-his foot struck Badly
in the region of the coat tails ; bif-you

BY this time Badly had been fairly
kicked into the street, and Handy Andy
who was standing outside, expected a

slyly and remarked: 81 knowed 'twould'
