The Poke Bonnet.

How much / admire the bewitching poke
bonnet,
Which half hides the roses that bloom in her
facet
Why, Cupid, know has his throne there
upon II,
Conceded in its trimmings of null or of
lace.
The style isn't new, for our grandmothers
wore II,
And they were not wanting In beauty or
grace;
Their granddaughters love 1t, the young men
adore it
The charming poke bonnet that hides
sweet face;
The ravishing bonnet, the exquisite bon
net,
Bewidering bonnet, that shades sweet
face.
The fair, shapey head is half hidden within
II,
And part of the beautiful face disappears
How often I've kissed the lips glowing warm
In IL,
The while the coarse ibres were tickling my
ears.
Away with the hat with the feather upon i'll
Within my affection twill ne'er have place.
Oh, give me the mulltrimmed, the coarse
straw poke bonnet,
The heart-snaring bonnet that shades
sweet face;
The beautiful bonnet, the exquisite bon
net,
The ravishing bonnet that hides a sweet
face.

CHATTER II.

One day as May and | came in from

the Hall. Miss Rossel, in an exquisite habit,
was standing with her hand on her Cousins
Shoulder and her glance directed towards
the horses whose rein he held
Il cannot ride her, indeed, Hermon dear.
She looks perfectly vicious to-day. Let me
have Dewdrop; the others can start while
the saddles are being changed, and we can
soon oyertake them"
she wants to ride with Hermon alone"
said May in an undertone to me. "She does
not like Miss Braham, the dark girl on the
grey horse. Nurse said because she saw her
once talking to Hermon-"
Hush, dearp
what nonsense, Floral" said Mr. Rossel
impatiently. Cora is as free from vice as
any lamb; she Is little fresh that is all.
Come, jump upr'

MISS Lucas, you can ride, you say
should you be afraid to mount this horse?n

Have you habit? Could you be ready in
five minutes?" he asked, still speaking i'm.
patiently.
Yes, do, Miss Lucas; will be quite good
with nurse" chimed in May; and, forgetful
OF everything but the chance of breezy
gallop once again, flew upstairs and nut
on my habit.

Let me introduce Mr.. Laurence 10 you.

POSITIVE FACTS.
The Various Charges Against Mr..
Jeffrey Plainly Stated.
The County Clerks Office a Real
Estate Exchange.

The somewhat unexpected, but entirely
correct expose of the manner in which j..
X. Jeffrey has manipulated his many
offices, as made by THE LEADER yester-
day. fell with Il dull thud" upon that
gentleman's carefully erected structure of
political plans. Nothing approaching the
dignity of a denial has been OF can be
made of the statements regarding Mr..
Jeffrey's use of his knowledge of the
county records.
1t was alleged on the streets last even
ing that Mr.. Jeffrey has been interested
in but one mortgage, and that he lost over
one hundred dollars by the transaction.
Whether he has made or lost money in
one or a hundred mortgages is irrelevant
to the issue, and is a complete begging Of
the question.
The fact remains that he has made a
real estate office out of the County Clerk
ship.
The fact remains that he has used his
knowledge of property. acquired as an
official, to buy and sell such property for
his own profit.
The fact remains, and the records of
the Office will prove the statement, that
he has bought and sold more lots and
pieces OF real estate during the past few
years han any other man in Cheyenne.
The fact still remains that he has
amassed a modest fortune, nj by care
fully outstanding a moderate salary, but
by specializing in real estate when his Off
cial knowledge of the records afforded
him an advantage no one else could
obtain.
The fact still remains hat the clerical
duties of the office have been performed
by employees, as Mr.. Jeffrey could not pos
sibly give his individual attention to all of
the duties Of all of his halfdozen clerk
ships.
And, finally, the fact remains that he
has waxel fat by long office holding,
again illustrating the oft-proven history of
the country, that no one man should be
given a life tenure to one office.
When these facts are c~ontradicted sue
cessfully, then, and not till then, will Mr..
Jeffrey establish his claims to further hon
ors from the people of Laramie county.

COUNTY
A Man in Every way Qualified to I'm
the ONCE.


The contest for County Surveyor lies
between two men of widely different ex-
periences. The Democratic nominee,
John A. Apperson, is well known not
only in Laramie county. but throughout
Wyoming and Colorado, as a competent
man for the position for which he has
been nominated and to which he will
surely be elected. He came to Cheyenne
in 1867, and a mere boy as he was, by his
honesty, integrity and close application to
business, soon won the esteem of all with
whom he came in contact He assisted
General Dodge in surveying the present
townsite of Cheyenne, and won many
compliments for his efficiency. After the
location of Cheyenne he was for three
years a conductor on the Union Pacific
railroad, and left the employ of the com
pany with the most honorable compli-
ments
MIR. Apperson had charge Of the sur
veys of all roads leading out from Denver
except the Kansas and Denver Pacific
and has lately been engaged in the survey
of the Cheyenne, Black Hills and Mon
tana railroad. He has now charge of the
survey of the ditch of the Swan Land &
Cattle company, us well as other promi-
nent corporations in the Territory. He is
well acquainted in all sections of the
Territory, and should be elected by an
overwhelming majority.

Genuine gall, of the strongest frontier
brand, seems to be the principal stock
in trade of Republican ofice-seekers in
this year of grace and popular uprising
against political jobbers and confirmed
ofice-holders. Mr.. George w. Hoyt was
elected a County Commissioner two years
ago, and now he again losses his bonnet
into the political arena. Mr.. Hoyt has
been given an opportunity to demonstrate
whether, as a County Commissioner, he
is faithful, prudent, and upright
Among u number Of jobs Mr.. Hoyt be-
comes particularly luminous, by reason OF
his manner of procuring the contract to
supply the county with drugs
from his own store. Possessing
a morbidly keen appreciation of the in
trinsio worth of a single dollar and es-
pecially oblivious to the eternal fitness of
things. Nh. Hoyt determined to secure the
drug contract. To quote his own words
50 far as they are fit for publication I'll
have that contract if | have to furnish
the county with =
So Mr.. Hoyt made a bid which he, as an
official could accept in behalf of the
county. Not even satisfied that his bid
was low enough he caused an adjournment
of the board to make further inquiries,
and when it next met every thing went
to his entire satisfaction.
Professional experts who have ex-
amined the drugs Mr.. Hoyt furnished
under his own contract pronounce them
old and inferior as a class.
And George w. Hoyt is frantically en-
dcavoring to be reelected a County Com
missioner.

A Breezy Letter Regarding Mr.
Ke6fe's Business Methods.
Ford's Snobbishness, HOyt's Record
and Robbins Preferment.

w nat lDOeS Wr. keeIe SaNf
To the Editor Of THE LEADER
CHEYENNE, November lin Fridays
issue of the Sun there appears what is
purported to be an answer to a commune
cation that appeared in THE LEADER a
few days previous. Why does the Sun
not say that those are the words of NJ. p.
Keefe, and not try to shove it off on some
laboring man. If that statement be cor
rect why has it been the talk of at least
twenty-five men at a number of different
times during the last season, that at the
end of the week when full time was s.. 25
per day, making Sl9. 50, their envelope
continued SIS, the balance kept back?
The communication in THE LEADER does
not state hat Mr.. Keefe does not pay all
he owes, and no man would say 50, but
why keep back a portion, that is the point
that the workingmen want answered? In
regard to paying the highest wages, there
are contractors in this city that are paying
more wages all the time than Mr.. Keefe,
and will still do so after the election. If
a man does not want to hear these nasty
little truths he should not be a candidate
for Office. So consider the Suns answer
all down but nine. Set 'em up in the
other alley. VoTER.

A Western Paper That Is Not Afraid Ia
speak Out Its Convictions.

From the Unita Chieftain.
I'm the recent Republican Convention,
which met in Cheyenne, NJ. c. Brown,
Esq. of Laramie, introduced a resolution
deprecating the wholesale grabbing Of
large tracts of land by wealthy individu-
ais and corporations. Mr.. Carey then
and there opposed the resolution in a ten
minute speech, and finally succeeded in
getting the resolution amended in n nan
ner which virtually killed its meaning.
This we know to be true, as we are per
sonally present and witnessed the debate -
Here are Il few more brisk works in rela-
to a well known gentleman:
Mr.. Carey, the Republican nominee
for Delegate to Congress is a chronic pol
itician and office holder. With him it
has been a life long profession to secure
votes and hold Office. He was first sent
out here by the Grant administration
under appointment as United States At
torney. lie was afterwards appointed
by the Government as one Of our District
Court Judges, and has held offices of va
rious kinds in our Territory for the past
fifteen years. This is no discredit TO the
man. He has a right to hold fat offices
But it is a fact that the people are now
shaking off these old cards that have been
played so long and are clamoring for a
fresh deck and a new deal. In order to
get the people fairly represented, We have
got to shake off those old political fossils
and choose fresh mel from among ow
W ranks, whose ~sympathies are entirely
with us. We have such a man in the
person of w. II. Holiday man who
came to this country of his own accord, to
work for a competence and make by his
bis own efforts a home hore, and not as Q
federal appointee sent out under 4 Coy
eminent salary.

Mr.. w. A. Robbins brings up the rear
on the Republican Legislative ticket. Mr..
Robbins was one of the most obscure
candidates in the Convention. After
Messrs. Potter and Shanks Withdrew
from the:ticket, the Central Committee,
ignoring the expressed wishes of the dele
gates, placed the name of Mr.. Robbins
on the ticket, although other candidates
before the Convention had received a
larger vote. The move was a ring
measure and clearly shows that in the
event of his election, Mr.. Robbins goes to
the Legislature for a purpose and with
the express intention of assisting in Leg
~islative schemes. Fortunately, Mr.. Rob
bins has but little strength as a candidate
and there is little occasion to fear hat he
will be elected.

Mr.. J. III. Ford is a candidate on the
Republican ticket for a member of the
Territorial Council. Insome respects Mr..
j. II. Ford is a moderately unique young
man. In fact Mr.. j. Howard Ford is a
rather fair sample of the Anglo-maniac of
the Western type. Indeed it seems al
most impossible that Mr.. Ford would ac-
cept an office which may be obtained only
by the thumb-marked ballots of the COM
mon people. Mr.. Ford came to Wyom-
ing about six years ago and since that
time has been engaged in the cattle bust
ness, 1t will be seen that he has been
here long enough to realize that cowboys
are neither desperadoes nor an order of
beings so low that no man, even though
he apes foreign language and dress, is
justified in considering them beneath his
notice. 1t is a well known fact that last
Spring Mr.. j.. Howard Ford insulted
nearly every cowboy who entered his of
fee in search of employment. 1t is
known to many cowboys hat when men
entered Mr.. Ford sumptuously furnished
apartments and inquired for Mr.. Ford he
would coolly look at them without deign-
ing a reply. A request for an engage
ment on the roundup would also be met
with silence, and after repeated efforts the
men would depart without obtaining the
t%rifiing courtesy of even Il reply from Mr..
Ford. Such uncalled snubs and such
ridiculous snobbery will be remembered
by the cowboys next Tuesday, and Mr..
J. Howard Ford will not be rewarded by
their votes.
