A General Remark.

The present legislative body has been
the recipient OF many compliments for
their ability and the character of their
work. And in this the Laramie county
people come in for a good proportion of
praise for their general representation.
Especially are compliments merited in
the council, which includes within its
numbers a deal Of experience, ability
and stability. Here, as in the lower
branch our own county completes sue
cessfully for the l~aurels, but great
praise is due the presiding officer who
ably represents our sister county of Al
bany. he has shown himself to be de-
termined and impartial both in the
chair and on the floor, and Laramie
county especially appreciates the indie
pendence which would not tolerate Pc
culiarly strong arguments, so called
during some portions of the present
legislative session.
