outpouriDg of Democrats and citizens
generally, irrespective of party, to the
grand Democratic rally which was held at
the southwest corner of Eddy and Six
teenth streets last evening. All along
the streets leading to the speakers stand,
which had been profusely decorated with
flags, notices, emblems, and also with
pictures of the two eminent states
men who have been chosen as
the standard bearers of the
Democratic party, there eventually
assembled a concourse of people ~variously
estimated at from 1000 to 5000;
in fact, since Cheyenne had a name and
a history there has not been such an
outpouring of people and so much
enthusiasm displayed as was witnessed
last evening. The committee having the
matter in charge had made complete and
thorough preparations for the event, and
to the u%ntiring efforts of Judge Kuyken-
dali, L. Kabis, j. C. Baird, A. H. Reel
and Others is due the credit of contribut-
ing in a great degree to the most emphatic
and pronounced success of this notable
political event. The mass of people in
attendance was not only attentive and
deeply interested listeners, but they were
enthusiastic. too, and not only did cheer

REND THE AIR
in response to the eloquent speeches and
remarks which were made, but almost
every time the names of Cleveland and
Hendricks were mentioned the enthusiast
tic multitude went nearly wild with enthu-
siasm. The Cheyenne City Band,
which was in attendance, contribute
ed greatly to the success of
the great rally by the grand and patriotic
airs which they played. OF the fireworks
We will speak further on. If anything
was wanted to demonstrate the fact that
in the nomination of Grover Cleveland for
president and Thomas A. Hendricks for
vice president, the Chicago convention
have reflected the intelligent sentiment of
the people generally, the grand rally of
last night is convincing proof of that fact
so far as Wyoming at least is concerned.
The masses of people began to gather at
an early hour, and thronged around the
stand long hefnre the exercises of the
evening commenced.

Mr.. j. c. Baird called the vast assem-
blage to order, and amidst much enthusi-
asm proceeded to briefly address the
meeting. Mr.. Baird said that it Is true
that we here in the territories do not have
the right to vote, but he knew of no law
that would prevent us from setting on the
fence and watching the political procession
as it passed. At the same time it would
not be very long, he hoped, before we
should oe admitted as a state, and then
we hal be clothed with
FULL POWER To PARTICIPATE
and have a voice in the selection of a pres
idential candidate. and then we can elect
our own rulers here at home. [Cheers
The speaker said, they had come there to
help to ratify the nominations that have
lately been made by the Democratic con-
vention in Chicago. Who are the nomi-
nees of the party? Who are the stand
ard bearers that have been selected
to lead the great national Democratic
party on to victory in November next?
They are two patriots, two eminent states
men, Grover Cleveland and Thomas A.
Hendricks. [Cheers. These two great
men we're just the men of all Others whose
names were presented to hat great body
of men who lately assembled in Chicago,
were tine men who will and can lead our
great party to victory. [Cheers.
They combine three great elements
which are seldom found in the same man,
in the same two men; these were honesty,
ability and integrity [cheers, and that is
a good deal more than can be said of
James G. Blaine and John A. Logan.
Cheers Then there is another man
whom the speaker would say a word for
"a man who is known, honored and
revered by the people all over this broad
land of ours-one who lives and will live
in the memory of the people of this u
try long after things of the present have
passed away, and that man was Samuel
j. Tilden [great cheering, a
man who rather than mark his pathway
to the White House with pools Of blood
consented to surrender his claims to the
great office to which he was rightfully and
legally elected. Referring again to Cleye-
land the Speaker said that he was oil that
could be desired as a great leader and he
was the personification of what the Amer
can people most want at the present time,
purity in the administration of, public
affairs, and if elected, as he surely will,
he will rescue the administration of the
public affairs of this Nation from the cor
ruption and dishonesty into which it has
fallen under Republican rule. GCheers.
He is the man the people want because Of
this, and he is The man they are gefng IA
