lected by the democratic party. We
believe that patriotic men of all par
ties approve the settlement of that
controversy, and we therefore arraign
and condemn that faction OF the dem.
ocratic party which now seeks TO dis
turb the business Of the country and
dishonor its fair fame by refusing q
manly submission to the decision.
IL. That we favor home rule and
self-government In the territories, and
we therefore ask for such action by
congress as will enable the people OF
the territories to choose all their own
officers.
10. That the FIRST duty of govern.
ment, general and local, is the protec.
ton Of life and property; and we there
fore favor an energetic warfare upon
road agents and thieves, with all the
means in our possession, until the law:
are respected throughout the territory,
10. That the mining interests Of oui
territory demand u fostering care,
and we earnestly recommend such nc
ton by our government as will best
protect the citizens of our territory en-
gagged inthis laborious calling.
RESOLUTIONS:
ResOlred, That the thanks Of the PEG
pie of the territory are due to Hon. w.
W. Corlett, for the dignifed and eff
cient manner In which he has dis,
charged his duties as the representa-
tive of Wyoming in congress; that the
republican party has never had reason
to apologize for his conduct in discharg-
ing the duties Of any public offices
which he has held, and that the conf
dence of this reoplo In him is such that
they will be ready at all times TO confer
upon him their highest hUnors.
Resolved, That In the nomination o.
Stephen w. Downey rs their choice fol
the Office of delegate to the forty-sixth
congress, the republicans OF Wyoming
territory thus honoring him have to Q
far greater degree honored themselves.
That in Col. Downey we recognize
those qualities OF eloquence ard sagac-
ity which, united with his known expe'
rience in public affairs, render him in
the most eminent degree the man ia
obtain from our fellow citizens in
Washington, who hold the balance OF
power, those rights and privileges OF
suffrage and self-government the en-
joyment OF which Is now denied to us,
and upon the securing Of which rights
in n great degree depends the future
prosperity and happiness of the territory
in which we live, and intend to make ouI
homes, and we pledge to Col. Downey
our steady and unfaltering support.

SPAIN may he benighted in ignorance
as many writer's are fond of saying.
but she has Just done an act that cnti-
ties her TO favontle consideration. A
royal decree has been issued that every
slass tscaping from Cuba to Spain, or
any n her provinces, shah be declared
free, and their value will be paid the
owners from the public treasury-This
is something on tho old Jewish system
Of pfovidiBg scities Of refugee and is
In marked ecntrast TO the -inhuman
fugitive slave laws which once disgraced
the statnte books Of civilized America.
The sword of American freemen has
severed the chains Of slavery, but the
old spirit Of the driver remains n hard
inheritance for the black man. Every
teaching Of civilization and humanity
should prompt the nation TO protect
these ,neducated people, whose labor
and lives, for generations, have been
spent in adding millions to the natIon,s
wealth without benefit to themselves

10 The Democracy Of Wyoming.
Some time ago, and before the meet.
ing of the democratic territorial con-
v%ention, l announced myself as an
independent candidate for delegate to
congress. l did not do this because /
desired either the office or the nOmina-
ton, but because 1t was evident that n
system of trickery and chicanery had
been carried on for some time by q few
self-constituted party leaders, which
was to eliminate In the nomination of
+. l.. Pease, not because OF his fitness
to represent the Democratic party OF
Wyoming Territory, but because he
was the r~ing-master and champion
trlckster, and 1 desired to take some
action which would, II possible, arrest
this rush to ruin and cause those en-
gagged In 1t 10 pause and consider
whittier they were drifting, The ef-
fort to produce that effect was n fail
ure, and the previously arranged pro-
gramme was carried out.
Their are times In the history of any
party that reverses are the only saliva
ton from ruin. II seems to me that
time has CONT in the history of the
democratic party here, and that we
must either consent Ia become plant
tools in the hands of a few demagogues,
or else must teach that class that there
is n better element in the democratic
party whose feelings they must consult
and whose counsel they must hear or
else they must suffer defeat. AVA
And with only this end in view, |
have decided 10 withdraw my name
from before the public as n candidate,
and to invite the honest and candid
element of the democratic party to
unite with me in securing the election
of Hon. Stephen w. Downey as our
representative in congress. We shall
thereby elect q man as our delegate in
whom We all feel a commendable pride,
| and also administer q wholesome lesson
to the headstrong rule or ruin leaders
of own party.
Col. Downey Is a man of whom no
true democrat need feel ashamed. In
every relation Of life, as a soldier fight
ing to uphold his c~ountry,s nag. as a
lawyer, rs a public officer In the capac.
ity Of auditor, and as q member Of the
legislature-in all these he has proved
himself non partisan, honest and com
petent. lie has always been the friend
Of the poor and the laboring man, and
has done more to make known abroad
and to develop the sources OF Wyo'
ming than any other man In the terri
tory. n. l.. ANDREws.

Ralph Rigty, While R~ehearslng Tn,
Rum Maniac" Is Dragged to The
calahoose-An Insane Land
lady and Eccentric
Policemen.

Ralph Rigby ras, but is not, nm elo-
cutionist. 1t was only the other day
that he lost his faith in humanity, and
with 1t vanished forever all histrionic
ambition. You see a temperance play
is to be produced shortly BY the Chey-
enne dramatic association, and Rigby
knew the character he would assume.
With characteristic ingenuity and en-
terprise, he quickly determined upon
an improvement in his part which could
not possibly fail in making an immense
hit. He would introduce IA scene and
recite "The Rum Maniac" in appro-
pirate costume. *
OF course Rigby was familiar with
the lines-what elocutionist of merit
isn't? What he wanted was to get the
delivery down fine. So on Thursday he
hicd him to his room and began reclt-
ing. As he warmed up to II proper
conception of the piece his shrieks and
wild language attracted the very atten-
tive landlady, who rushed to his room
and found him, rs she expected, with.
ing on the floor in the greatest appar-
ent agony. Her appearance brought
him to his feet and his senses instant
er, and he grufly ordered her out.
Rigby ate his supper in sullen gloom,
and hastened away. The apprehensions
of the landlady rs communicated to the
other boarders are too sacred TO I've pa
raded here. But her final sentence
was most emphatic and expressive
Hes got 'em, surel"
On Friday afternoon Rigby TOOK thu
precaution to bolt his room door before
rehearsal. Tho landlady was determined
to have company in case a tragedy oc
CURED, and She called in n dozen fe
male neighbors; and they all stood II
the hallway in breathless silencewaitine
in great fear for the spellto ease.
Meanwhile Rigby. donned an appro.
pirate makeup, for you know that .
person can recite much better when at.
tired consistently with the character
assumed. First he procured II tattered
shirt; then shredded pantaloons; and
remained in his stocking feet. With
hair dishevelled his makeup was CON-
plete. He looked every inch 4 Rum
Maniac rs he surveyed himself in the
large mirror which he had so arranged
as to reflect his form during the rehear
sal. Presently he opened up power

Officers John Martin and John Hall
arrived. They tried the door but it
was locked. All the while Rigby kept
up the lengthy recitation in blissful
ignorance of the frightened auditors
outside. Smash went the water pitch
er and bowl in the room, while the
recitationist tumbled about violently.
A short council of val was held and
the representatives olthe law determin-
ed to take the place by storm. At that
moment Rigby shrieked madly:
Fire. Water. Help! oh haste. l die"
And the mighty shoulders of Martin
and Hall went crashing through the
door.
This sudden and forcible entrance
alarmed Rigby, who fled under the bed
to hide his ridiculous costume. But
the policemen were satisfied he was
not safe out of irons and dragged him
forth mid bitter curses and explana-
tions. But justice was both blind and
deaf just then. Rigby of course refus-
ed to go from his room and called his
captors fools and idiots, and shouted
that he was only rehearsing. But they
thought this only a ruse to get off and
forced him out of the house. All the
while the victim was mad with anguish,
and begged to go back and put on prop
er clothing, but in vain. A passing
express wagon was ordered into the
service and the prisoner was lifted into
1t, all the while stoutly resisting. But
he was unequal to the occasion, and
away the expedition sailed with Rigby
lying flat on his back in the bed of the
wagon, roaring with pain and anger,
and two hundred pounds of John Hall
squatting upon his abdominal territory.
No one counted the crowd of boys that
ran in the rear yelling like young Sioux
or course the victim was successfully
deposited in the cooler and Martin
and Hall Immediately retired outside to
rest and mop their perspiring brows.
Rigby soon had fortunate opportunity
