The announcement that the Republican
leaders were in close consultation" yes
terday will not, by reason of any novelty
in the occurrence, create a sensation or,
indeed, even a lively interest. The fact,
however, remains and therefore the
statement is made.
Readers of THE LEADER will remember
it vas stated yesterday that Mr.. Warren
had declined the nomination as the Re
publican candidate for Delegate-an Incl
dent of the campaign which entirely es-
capped the observation of the Republican
press of Cheyenne. 1t will also be re-
membered that a statement was made TO
the effect that the party leaders were
striving to induce Judge Carey to accept
the nomination. As was prophesied, the
Cheyenne branch of the committee
were Withholding Mr.. Warren's letter
until they could obtain a candidate, with
purpose the of making known his refusal
together with the selection of another
candidate.
The result of the negotiations with
Judge j. NJ. Carey will be heralded with
a more or less tuneful blare of trumpets
to-day, for last evening it was authora-
lively announced hat he had accepted the
nomination. Anticipating his answer the
county committee prepared to open its
headquarters with a grand celebration but
the thing failed to connect in some way,
and, save to a few politicians, the selec-
ton of Judge Carey was not generally
known. Its publication to-day will be an
interesting bit OF news to the public.

1t is stated by the Laramie Boomerang
that Cook, the condemned murderer,
since the adverse decision of the Supreme
Court, has changed greatly in his de-
meanor. For a week he has refused to
touch any kind of food in the attempt to
starve himself to death, but finally appe-
tite overcame him and he has given in.
Owing to the weak condition of his
stomach, however, he is as yet unable to
retain any food on it.
