as a11bfRce-holder. 1t failed to make a
broad distinction between the two men,
which everybody in this city appreciates
Mr.. provinces has never asked for a nomi-
nation Of confirmation during his resi-
dencs here. The two last times he has
been selected as City Engineer, Mayor
Carey, the present Republican nominee
for Delegate in Congress, nominated him
Daring the time Mr.. Provinces was
County Surveyor there was no salary
attached to the Office and the munifcent
receipts from the same averaged & a
month.
While City Engineer. up 10 the period
hat the present wa,er works and ever
age systems were inaugurated, be was
paid by the job His receipts averaged
S35 a month and of course his spare
moments were spent elsewhere to earn
enough to support him decently.
When the city concluded to build the
present water works and sewerage sys-
tens, a special committee of the Council
IA deputed TO wait upou-M Mr.. provinces
and ask him to devote his whole time
and attention to the work. He stated
what he could afford to do il for, and
while the committee was at perfect liberty
to select any other qualified person, Mr..
provinces wns unhesitatingly secured.
The special work for which he was en-
ployed being completed, the agreement
between Mr.. provinces and the Council
was at an end, and consequently his salary
ceased.
Another special committee was APP
pointed by Council to secure MI. Provinces
undivided services as City Engineer. Mr..
provinces thought his time was worth $3.50
a month and 50 stated to the committee.
Mr.. G. W. Riner, a Republican member
of the committee, proposed that he accept
500 a month with 5000 additional for re-
establishing certain points from which sur.
veys might be made.
1t was simply and purely a commercial
transaction. Any other qualified sur
yeyor might have received the sanie offer.
Mr.. provinces, however, from his great
knowledge Of the city's topography, was
eminently qualified to perform the work.

As A diner on crow the Sun man is n
~gastronomic marvel that should claim the
enthusiastic attention of physiological ex-
p~erimenters. The editor Of the Sun is the
person who beslobbcred Mr.. Sweet with
fulsome eulogy and in the same article
took occasion TO observe concerning Mr.
Jeffrey that There is such a thing as
OVERRIDING it even in ofice-holding and
there is no good reason why n OF two
men should hold all the lucrative Offices in
the county and city for an indefinite term
of years. All this happened before the
convention however When the conven-
ton metit provided a beautiful mess Of

ingly eulogized before the con-
vention treated him with a
oontemptuous silence. Mr.. Sweet has not
been nominated for public office and con
sequently is in no position to confer much
substantial benefit upon the Sun. Mr..
Jeffrey, fortunately for himself, may
possibly confer some further favors on
the paper and therefore day by day it will
vary fulsome flattery with pithy para
graphs to the effect that Mr.. Jeffrey
must be reelected. 1t is a repetition of
the old c%ourtier cry: THE King is dead |
Long live the King r. Mr.. Sweet is in
i comatose political condition just now;
while Mr.. Jeffrey has been galvanized
into a semblance of political lite. Hence
the Sun sees chamaleon beauties in Mr..
Jeffrey character and accomplishments;
hence also the Sun now fails to see any
thing to admire about Mr.. Sweet whom
erstwhile ii admired with an admiration
that was transcendently enthusiastic.

Mr., Holiday Is publie-spirited, as the

IT Is fair and square talk when we say
that the nomination of Hon. w. H. Hol-
idays as the Democratic candidate for
Delegate in Congress. was received With
unqualified enthusiasm among the mem
ber ofthe party here. He has long been
recognized as an agent in the growth and
development Of Wyoming. For years a
resident here he is intimately acquainted
with all the Territory's resources; he APP
preciAtes ia wants 80 far as national legis-
lation is concerned. Andsppreciating them

IT must tickle Mr.. Sweets vanity to
discover that Notwithstanding protesta-
tons of friendship for him, made publicly
and privately by the editor OF the Sun.
and Notwithstanding too, that the editor
of the Sun entered into a combination to
effect his Sweets nomination, neverthe-
less that the only person for whom the
Sun man ever had any genuine regard
is Mr.. Jeffrey, the present incumbent Of
the County Clerk Office.

Or here in the glowing West people
admire a manly man who is gifted with
the moral courage to do and to dare.
Beyond any other place in the country
they despise one who is morally or physi-
eally a coward.
Despite all that has been said tothe con-
trary, judge Carey wanted the nOmina-
ton all along, and wanted it badly.
Why didn't he Immediately accept the
tender of it?
Because he hadn't the moral courage to
DO so.
Why didn't he show his head when it
was thought Mr.. Post would be the
Democratic nominee
Simply because he knew when he was
healthy.
Judge Carey was careful to wait until
an out-of-town man was selected by the
Democrats. Then he readily accepted,
imagining that he could pull through with
the prestige of a Cheyenne residence.
November will tell a different tale.
All this talk about Judge Carey hest
tating to accept for business eason is the
veriest bosh and the dreariest buncombe.
No man Of his wealth in the Territory has
his business in such compact shape, and
everybody knows it.
1t was simply moral cowardice that
caused him to withhold his consent to the
last moment and there is no use Of mine
ins xor J. tnisil the story.
Judge Carey was prudent, but not pru-
dent enough.
II he had carried his prudence 10 JUST
fable limits. he would never have con
sented to be offered as a sacrifice on the
party altar.

VIZ acknowledge to have been ut a loss
for a time to discover whnt really induced
Judge Carey to finally relent. A hint in
yesterdays issue Of our more or less es-
teemed contemporary pierced the mental
obscuritY surrounding the matter as an
electric light CLEAN dispels the gloom Of a
dark alley. The hint was this: And
WE joined in the earnest appeal to him
to accept" 1t wal the last straw on the
camel's back, and the unfortunate Judge
sunk exhausted beneath the omniscience
of that awful WE" like a frolicsome
tadpole under a load of brick.
