repuoliean convention held al Laramie
City on Saturday last. 1t has been
deemed advisable to present to our
readers q review Of the same.
We may say ut the outset that
through the Vaccinations and conspir-
acies Of certain federal officials, Q COM
bination vas effected against our
county several days before the meeting
Of the convention. And right here We
may As well mention the names OF
those officials who ~conspired together
to defeat Laramie county. They are
as follows: Governor Hoyt, Surveyor
General David, Us. Dep. Marsha, w r.
Schnitger. U. 5. Attorney N. &. Brown,
Postmaster Hayford. Of Laramie City,
Assistant Postmaster Riner, Of Chey-
enne, Territorial Auditor Mason, of
Green River, and his deputy, Slack, OF
Cheyenne.
As Is well known. Coy. Hoyt went
west several days before the meeting OF
the convention, ostensibly on a literary
trip. but, while there, embraced the OPP
p~ortunity Of making fragrant misrepre-
sensations Of Laramie county, and suc-
ceeded in i%noculating u number of
western delegates with the poison Of
his w bitterness against this county.
Mason, his tool OF an auditor, went
into the convention and voted for him
self and three proxies. w. A. Carter.
Of Uinta, who has no use nor friendli-
ness for Laramie county, also repre-
sented his entire county. Hence,
with the Albany delegation and these
two men, the Hoyt-carey outfit OBJ
tanned control OF the convention. 1t
was therefore m easy matter for Gov.
Hoyt, while in Rawlins, TO draw Car
bon county into the offensive alliance,
and Carbon's share of the spells was
the craftsmanship Of the convention and
an alternateship. Judge Carter was
made n delegate to Chicago, OF course,
rs he had the solid vote of his county.
Mason, Of Sweetwater, got an alter
nateship for his county. All these
facts were known beforehand by the
delegates from this county. But they
went into the convention determined
TO demand fair play for Laramie
county, even though they were In n
