Don't sacrifice n single name on the

elect the ~hole ticket.
Mr.. Scion Burgess is unfortunate.
He lost n roll of bills. yesterday,

The first number of the Carbon Coun-
ty News, edited by John C. Friend and
published by W. Il. Shaffer, is upon

The contract for the erection of the
Alert Hose house was let last Saturday

Cured, but trouble is threatened by the

Three companies of the Fifth Cavalry

Chop it in two with Il knife,-thc
Sun-and half reads tweedle-dee, half
tweedle-dum, and added together the
whole constitutes Il very vulgar frac-
ton of-nothing. Such is the popular
verdict upon the course of our cOtem-
porary on the election to-day.
Instead of giving that poor and wor-
thy couple who are going to he married
a lot of silverware that they won't need
until they can afford to buy it for them
selves, present them with bureaus, car
pets, stoves, coal scuttles and other
traps that will he of some use to

The Cheyenne and Laramie papers
are making II great ado about the par
don of Frodsham. Up here where lie

A tramp presented himself at a

in physical comforts I; that the spirit in

Tie influence of the ladies of Chey-
me is always eXerted in behalf of those
who are honest and economical, as
against those who are wasteful and
corrupt. We feel confident, therefore,
that every lady in Cheyenne will visit
the polls to-day and vote for Bresnahen
and the entire Citizens ticket.
The report of the city clerk shows
that the expenditure for "repairs and
improvements of Streets during 1877
was 81, 575.21. If any man can point
out to us any genuine improvement
made during 1877, the legitimate cost
of which should be over $1,000, we
want to see him-and we want to see
him badly.
Col. Murrin's splendid vindication,
printed in another column, shows
how utterly false and malicious were
the charges made by Boss Fisk against
Murrin. The idea of terming Fisk's
vapid and slanderous card a vindication
of himself is absurd. 1t was only q
characteristic attack upon an honest
and popular citizen.
People who respect the Sabbath and
endeavor to keep it holy, are loud in
their denunciations of Fisk and his
gang of wire-workers, who labored
from daylight until the small hours of
Monday morning in their desperate
efforts to gather in votes. This pro-
ceeding should be properly rebnked by
electing Mr.. l.. r. Bresnahen to-day.
The candidates for the Council on
the "workingmen's" ticket are work
ing earnestly for Fisk, but Fisk is
''trading them off" in all the wards.
In other words, he promises his influence
for candidates for the Council on the
Citizens ticket in return for n promise
of votes for himself. Fisk is fighting
for himself, and doesn't. care what be-
comes of his friends.
