The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1882-10-11

The Sun to-day labors under the dis
advantage Of having accustomed people
to its tricks. A month ago its slurs and
clamor might have made an opponent
uneasy. But its sole ability lies in slur-
ring and raising a din. Folks have
hold it in contempt. Against us it has
used its whole armory. 1t has fused
and fumed about the LEADER through
columns that should have been used for
news. 1t has in a hundred ways assert
ed that the LEADER was open for bids
from candidates for office, and has
never offered a single word of proof. 1t
has called US every vile name that vitu-
peratlon could suggest, and the names
didn't stick because they suggested
nothing. 1t has called in the aid of
one or two newspapers of the territory,
members of a small prose banditti band
ed together to fight each others battles
and put down interlopers inclined to
print honest newspapers, but the ma
jority of the press gave it no recogni-
ton. The LEADER has printed facts,
on the other hand, that prove the Sun
is a traitor TO its candidate for dele
gate; that it hasn't sufficient knowledge
to print its telegraph news intelligently;
that it is a senseless agitator arraying
working men against employers; that
its fact are manufactured in the Sun
Office; that it sends its special kilograms
to itself; that its support to any aspirant
for Office is worthless, and that in every
feature as a newspaper it is menda-
cious and INSCRIPTIONS. 1t undertook
to read us put of respectable journal
ism a week ago. But it has written
itself down so low that it is with a
blush that republicans acknowledge it
as the party ~mouthpiece. We must
occasionally notice it, with a blush of
shame, too, a. an opponent.

The Sun speaks of Mr.. Post as a man
OF public spirit, of honor and of relia-
bility in his dealings. But 1t charges
him with not putting in time enough
ut Washington to attend to his duties.
The charge fails when the truth comes
to light, for MIR. Post was in Washing
ton nearly seven months. If the Suns
criticisms of Post are to be made up of
praises and unsubstantlated charges,
it maker him out a first rate man to go
to congre ss again.

The march of civilization is much
talked of. and you can always tell the
line it pursues by the empty beer
bottles and sardine cans which are scat
tered along either side.
The progress of the Union Pacific
was considered to mark the march of
civilization into a wild and almost I'M
known country, and it road bed is bal
lasted with perpetual corks and crumb-
ling bottles, the relics of English
tourist parties which have passed be-
fore.
P~erchance, among the the sardine
cans may CLEAN now and then what
once was said to contain finest Califor-
mia fruit; perhaps, even now, may cling
fondly to its rusting sides n finely litho-
graphed chrome of what the purchaser
didn't get.
So thick has the road-bed been strewn
with the broken transparent fragments
that nowadays where a brakeman
falls beneath The wheels his mutilated
lChlailo DE1OlilV ~ hlpltBudlC WIFI
bottles and tin cans that the coroner
oftentimes finds extreme difficulty in
determining whether he is sitting upon
the remains of a glass factory from
which the spirit has fed, or is holding
down 4 defunct salmon Gamer which
has rendered unto Caesar that which
was Casar's.
Wagon roads to icy mining camps
are effected in much the same way,
only the amount of glassware increases
and the tinware becomes less. This
may account for the ups and downs in
the road and the heavy lurches of the
wagon as it goes rolling home.
Always in the van of civilization the
beer bottle and the sardine can is found
hundreds of miles from anywhere, in
the midst of the fertile valleys and in
the rugged Businesses. Wherever you
see them you may know that civiliza-
ton has been there and left its auto
graph.
We punish SlStNlltlt Ill lllS ISSUE
the statement of the First National
bank of this city, as made pursuant to
a call of the comptroller. With much
pleasure we notice the gradual increase
in the business showings of the ''old
First National, - and point II readers
to the round amounts as an evidence
of not only the growing strength of the
bank, but the steady prosperity of our
city and territory. When compared
with its statements in some of our files
of earlier dates it seems almost incredi-
bic that the institution should attain
such proportions, but considering past
progress, and knowing how sound it is
and how popular and conservative its
members, we predict for this, the bank
of Wyoming, still greater success and
popularity in future.

For Delegate to Congress.
MORTON E. POST.
THE SUMS TRICKS ANpEvAsIoN.

In discussing the delegateship, the
LEADER somewhat reluctantly applies
itself to the task of replying to the
Suns questions and arguments, for
they are by turns childish, or stupid, or
knavish. Respect for the republican
party of Wyoming would be enhanced
IL 1t had a consistent and intelligent
organ.
Here is an example of trickery in ar
gument which, while it might keep up
discussion till doomsday, can deceive
no n intent on getting at the truth:
In last Saturdays issue of the Sun it
undertook to catechise Mr.. Post. 1t
put to him three questions in a way
That implied that it had caught him in
a tight place and he must confess to
shortcomings in the performance of his
duties. 1t wanted to know if he was
in Washington at the beginning of the
session, IL he promptly and vigorously
attended to the matters referred to him
by the legislature.of Wyoming, and If
he remained at his post of duty until
Cne clOse OF Ine Se5SlOn.
These questions could have easily
been answered by the Sun itself had it
chosen to refer to its files or to apply to
men in the territory interested in legis-
lation.
The LEADER, however, referred the
. Sun to the announcement in the Chey-
enne papers that Mr.. Post had arrived
in Washington. before thesbeginning of
the last session of congress. With ref
erence TO the time he spent in Wash
ington, the LEADER said:
"Mr. Post remained in Washington
seven months during the session, with
the exception Of two weeks in April.''
To this the Sun makes the following
answer, without printing our statement:
docs the LEADER mean to say that
Delegate Post was at Washington dur
ing the last session Of congress-, with
the exception of'two weeks? If this is
what it means to say, then it is two
months from the,truth.''
The LEADER meant whatsit saidt in
plain English. Had the Sun printed
our words, even It. with its effronte, v
would not have had the face to make
such an answer.
In reply to the question as IN Whether
Mr.. Post remained atlhis:post of duty
until the close of the session ~ the
LEADER said he was there until con-
gress had taken up the general ppro-
priation bills, when further legislation
for Wyoming could not be expected.
The Sun also said, ''if it remember
ed rightly" that Mr.. Post was not
at Washington after April but two
weeks, although congress did not ad-
journ until the latter part of July ;
and if we are correctly informed he has
said that he would not be Mt Washing
ton over sixty days of the next session
of congress-"
This charge was met at every point
and refuted. Mr.. Post spent nearly

DIED.

AT Fort Laramie, Wyoming Terrific
ry, Oct, 9TH, Guy, aged fifteen years,
only child Of Capt. n. E. Woodson, 9Th
cavalry, and Josephine X. Woodson, of
consumption, the result of pneumonia,
contracted at the University IF Notre
Dame, in Indiana, in May, 1881.
Guy Woodson was a noble, manly
boy, and his comrades ut school will
deeply regret his loss, which entails a
sad affection on his parents and his
many friends. His illness lasted but
little more than a year, during which
time his sufferings were great; but they
are ended at last, and his spirit is with
the God who gave it. None who re-
member Guy can realize that in one
short year he who was so strong, so full
of youthful vigor and high hopes of the
future, now lies cold in death. His
parents are overcome with grief, and
the whole garrison to-day wears a
gloomy and sad aspect.
