REVEALS AND MISSIONS.
Yesterdays Proceedings of the Congre-
gational Association.

The programme of yesterdays pro-
ceedings as published in THE LEADER,

About 5 o'clock last evening Mr.. Bert
Pollard was thrown from his buggy and
narrowly escaped serious injury. Mr. Pollard
started to turn his horse on Seventeenth
street, in front of the Postofice. The
lines caught under the whifietree and the
horse, swinging around suddenly, turned
the buggy upon its side, throwing Mr..
Pollard out. The horse got one leg over
the shafts when the buggy upset, but
swinging again, righted the vehicle and
then started on a run. Turning on
Ferguson street the animal ran among a
number of wagons in front of Draper S
grocery house, where Hon. W. C. Irvine
caught it blythe bit. Mr.. Irvine incurred
not a little personal danger, and. indeed,
was slightly injured about one knee. The
horse was cut a little and the buggy was
more or less wrecked. Mr.. Pollard was
unhurt.

Yesterday Mr.. William Thompson,
nephew of Mr.. Dan Ullman, was the
victim of somewhat serious accident.
Mr.. Thompson left the city for the ranch
of his uncle driving a rather high-strung
team. When near the Kingman ranch
the horses became manageable and sue
ceeded in running away. The vehicle
collided with a wire fence and Mr..
Thompson was hurled from his scat. He
fell upon the fence with such force that
one arm was broken while he was also
somewhat badly scratched by the barbs
of the wires. Friends brought him to the
city last evening and DR.. Corey set the
broken arm. His injuries are sufficiently
serious to compel his retirement from any
active business for some weeks, but are
not at all dangerous.

Mr. Carey added: Mr.. Adams is an
adept politician. He can kiss all the
babies in the Territory, and is especially
fond Of female babies about Isyears old. =
Mr.. Adams replied by saying that he
was not a finished politician, but any de-
gree of excellence which he had attained
was due alone to the teachings and exam
pie of Judge Carey, of whom he took his
first lessons. Laughter.
In spite of interruptions the Chair put
the motion and Mr.. Adams wal chosen
Chairman of the Committee.
Colonel Downey moved that the Con
v%ention proceed to the nomination of a
candidate and then proceeded to make a
speech in which he nominated +. Il. War
rem as the candidate for Delegate to Con-
gress. In his speech Mr.. Downey stated
that some man must make a sacrifice for
u party, which is now struggling for ex-
istence in this Territory" and laid great
stress upon the wealth of the men of
Cheyenne, saying, ''The men of Chey-
enne have the money, and the men Of
Western Wyoming will stand by them
and furnish the votes [Signiticant
glances exchanged in the lobby.
Colonel Babbitt gave the first second to
the nomination and each member in turn
also seconded it. When it came to NJ. c.
Brown turn to endorse the nomination
he made a speech declaring that he was
not Il candidate before the convention and
affirming his willingness to support Mr..
Warren. Each of the speakers, with a
harmony that is significant, stated that
Mr.. Warren would enter the campaign
with the understanding that he would not
spend any money. as others had volun-
teered to stand all expenses.
The nomination of Mr.. Warren was
made unanimous and a committee, con-
sisting of Messrs. Rabbit, Adams, Dow
ney, Philbrick and Cheney wa appointed
to formally notify Mr.. Warren of his
nomination.
II. a. Slack entered the hall at this
time and Mr.. Brown, in Il complimentary
manner of the you-scratch back and
Ill-scratch-your' order, asked Mr.. Slack
to make a speech.
Mr.. Slack said: Il was in close consul
tation with Mr.. Warren last night, and
his nomination has my personal sanction.
"a
Ifthe matter is properly placed before
Mr.. Warren he might stand as the candi-
date. | now understand thar Mr., Post
declines to run, even if he received the
nomination from both parties, and John
c. Friend, of Rawlins, will be given Mr..
Posts place on the ticket. | don't think
we need be in much doubt of the result
now
Judge Carey said he had seen no reason
why he should speak endorsing Mr.. War
rem until Mr.. Slaek's report had been
made. He then stated hat the Republi-
can party needed waking up and closed
with an eulogy of Mr.. Warren.
The Central Committee was given
power to fill vacancies and the Conven-
ton adjourned, sine die.

WILL MIR. WARREN ACCEPT.
The Question AgItatIng the Republican
Mind.

The committee appointed at the Re-
publican Convention yesterday TO officially
notify Mr.. Warren Of his nomination as
Delegate, hastened to perform the duty
for which it was chosen and fifteen min
utes after the convention adjourned Mr..
Warren was formally rendered the nomi-
nation.
But he decided to take the matter
under advisement although he knew on
Wednesday afternoon that he would be
rendered the nomination. In other words
Mr.. Warren was not prepared to answer
the committee. He merely received the
official notification of his nomination, and
while not declining he did not accept.
VIII he accept it?
1t is probable that he will.
While Mr.. Warren's partners in bust
ness are urging him to decline, and
while he realizes that his business affairs
demand his personal attention, he never
theless fully appreciates, and has APP
preciated, that the Republican party in
Wyoming is struggling for existence"
His friends and those leaders of the party
who do not care themselves to make the
sacrifice, are urging upon him the absolute
necessity of his candidacy. The party is
at bay, and the leaders unanimously and
magnanimoHsly unite in asking Mr.. War
rem to incur the political dangers of a
campaign, and, in the event of his elect
ton, which they tell him is assured, the
additional sacrifice ofhis personal interests,
But in partial compensation they offer to
defray all of the direct expenses of the
campaign.
The situation is interesting, but the
question still more or less agitates the
Republican public mind, VIII he accept?

PASSING R-EFLEcTIoNs.

HAtIdct from COLONEL DOWney 5 speech.
The men of Cheyenne have the wealth
and we of the West will furnish the
voters. VIII some kind gentleman
give an intelligent and honest translation
of that sentiment? 1t may not be plain
English and therefore may not be under
stood.
The Republicans of Wyoming were not
entirely happy yesterday morning. 1t
may-eyen be said that they were under
the shadow of funeral doubt. At |
O'Clock the monarch of the party gave
them his royal approval +. A. Slack
came into the convention and said 1.-THE
nomination has my sanction The
American people at once breathed easier.
y
So John c. Friend is to be the Demo-
cratic nominee for Delegate. 1t might be
stated in an Incidental sort of way that
Mr.. Friend positively asserts that he never
heard of such an arrangement until Mr..
Slack promulgated the edict. 1t might
also be casually mentioned that Mr..
Friend afirms there is not the f%aintest in
dications of a trace of a shadow of any
authority whatsoever for the statement.

That antagonism of landed estates is
so fine a piece of irony that only one
other thing a equal it, and that is them
noccnce with which the Democracy is
blamed for the errors of the Republican
party during the past twenty years.

viii the nominee accept? 1t seems to
be a sort of a unanimous kind of wide
spread query.
Mr.. NJ. G. Brown would doubtless have
been the candidate had not his nomina-
ton been ''unwise at this time" Why
not say the Republicans did not dare to
go into the yindication business Just now

After all--all the chat about Benjam F.
Butler, John Kelly and other prominent
men-it must be borne in mind that this
canvass is wagcd, not upon men, nor for
men, but that in so far as the Republican
party is concerned, it is q contest for prin-
ciples. Certain measures are before the
voters of this country demanding discussion
and settlement. These measures involve
the welfare Of every man, woman and child
in this country. Upon these issues tho Re-
publican party has not taken any doubtful
position. Upon the tariff, upon Clvil-Ser-
vice Reform, upon maintaining and sustain
ing American citizens and American inter
ests, at home and abroad, tho Republican
party has taken bold and explicit ground.
1t has also taken strong ground in favor OF
rehabilitating our Navy and building up
again our commercial marine SO that our
flag may again be seen on the high seas, re-
spected by all nations, great or small, aud
bringing to our shores tho wealth Of other
climes.
In short, there is not an issue before the
people which the Republican party has not
met boldly and fearlessly, placing its feet
firmly on ground which it can and will
maintain against all comers. The Rcpub-
lican party always has depended for sue
cess upon the intelligence and clear-think-
ing of the people, and whenever it has ap-
pealed to the better impulses Of the masses
success has crowned its efforts. Keeping
step with the best thoughts of the age, it
has always led the van in all crusades for
the amelioration of the laboring masses; ii
has always possessed the confidence of those
masses, and, backed up by them, it has al
ways been triumphant.
Its past history is pledge and guarantee
Of Its future, and to 1t the majority Of the
people of the Union will continue to look
to give voice to their sentiments, theii
hopes, and their aspirations. And so long
as 1t, as an organization, continues to re-
spond to rightful popular demands, SO long
will 1t continue to defeat all its foes, and
guide the country into the paths that lead
to the highest prosperity and greatest hap.
piness Of all the people.

All the arrangements have boon made at

murder OF Mrs. Celia Bush Murphy. Tho con.
demned man sleeps we'll, has keon appetite,
and has grown stout. one OF his
first remarks during an interview with a
reporter yesterday was, "Boss, you paper
printers ought to bring fellow some cigars."
This was followed by a laugh, in which dusky

yoked by his reply TO question from visitor

he endeavored several times to appear ia

that he is perfectly reconcled TO the Bitua-

At his request he was carried to the scaffold
yesterday afternoon and inspected the trap
and the entire structure slowly, and without
betraying tho least nervousness. He remarked
that he was much Obliged to the people for

In the present campaign the most promi-

barriers which protect American labor and
compel it to compete with the cheap labor
of Europe, or shall VIC protect 1t from
pauper inroads and maintain our laborers
and operatives in condition which causes
them to respect themselves and exact respect

Irish citizens to the quick, and they would

Do THE people of the United States know
that Thomas A. Hendricks voted once for
law prescribing that no man should exer-
else the right of suffrage in Indiana unless
he was the owner, either in his own right,
or in that of his wife, of $3.50 worth of real
estate? Such is the fact. The vote was
cast on the 25th of February, 1867. This
fact shows him to be a worthy associate of
the man who vetoed the bill to prevent a
certain class of employers from exacting
more than twelve hours of hard labor for a
be poor in this country, but it should not be
held reason for depriving him of the
rights and privileges of freeman. No poor
man can vote for Thomas A. Hendricks

THE reasons for the opposition to
Cleveland of American citizens of Irish de-
cent, and especially those who were of ma
tuTe years before they left the old country
are not far to seek nor hard TO find. They
are to be found ON every page of Irish and
English history since strongbow landed in
Ireland hundreds of years ago. As soon as
she found herself in possession of Ireland
England instituted and carried out policy
which ruthlessly crushed out Irish maui.
features of every kind but two. Oae of
these, the manufacture of the coarse frieze,
with which the natives clothe themselves,
could not be suppressed without domicil-
iary visits to every cabin in the island,
which would require vast army Of Off
cials, to pay whom all the revenue
the English Crown derived from all Ireland
would not suffice. The other was tho man
ufacture Of linen, which was spared for
reasons that carry us into the regions OF re-
ligious conflict. Thus the Irish were kept
as the mere producers of raw materials
only and, as consequence, the most pros
porous of the peasantry were kept in a
state but one remove above pauperism,
while the more unfortunate lived by beg
gary or died from starvation.
Coming to this country the Ifishman
finds that the ballot is In his hands, And ne
is called upon to WELD IL for his own good,
for the good Of his fellow-citisens native
