From saturday 5 Green River Gazette,
With us it is Holiday frst, past aud all
the time. We believe the Sweetwatcr
Gazette was the first newspaper in the
Territory to suggest the Hon. w. H..
Holiday As the proper candidate to rep
resent the people of Wyoming in Con-
gress on the Democratic ticket. And the
time we first mentioned his name in this
connection was several months ago, when
he wa hammering at the walls of
monopoly in our Legislative halls. We
do not undertake to support the candidacy
of Mr.. Holiday from any personal causes,
bur we are at work in his behalf simply
because he is an exemplary peoples man.
a gentleman Of culture, education and
business experience, and 4 man of honor.
His judgment in all controversies, on all
weighty subjects, and in dissecting the
difference between right and wrong on
every occasion has been COED, and
his every action has been en-
dorsed by the universal appro-
val of his constituents. The Demo
cratic party has acted wisely in selecting
Mr.. Holiday as their standard bearer in
the present campaign. His residence in
this Territory reaches into many years,
and during almost half of a life time
spent in our midst, his course has been
characterized by a devotion to the inter
ests of our Territory m%equalled and unex-
celled. In 1877 he was the ruling spirit
in the passage of the lien law, and at the
last session of the Legislature he opposed
the Maverick bill stubbornly and bitterly.
He stood almost alone m the floor of the
Council and bravely fought for the poor
mans cause against monopoly. At
home. in Laramie, he is conceded to be
the most popular citizen, and his liberality
is on Il par with his energy. W. hope he
will be elected and We c-onscientiously ask
you to support him. In his public life
he has proved himself to be Il friend TO
the mechanic and laborer by protecting
them. What more can be asked Of him?
Can any more be expected Of him? BY
his deeds judge him and reward him by
vour vote.

HE TOOK BEER.


a number OF gentlemen were gathered
in a certain public resort last night. One
of the party, who, by the way, is a candi-
date, was talking about the-well about
the probabilities offs cold winter. A man
twitched the candidates coat. call him
mysteriously aside, carefully showed him a
mixed ticket and said:
You see that ticket? You see your
name there? Well, our crowd is going to
vote for you"
Take a glass of beer, said the candi-
date.
Don't care i'll do
The candidate returned to his friends
and had just fairly begun an explanation
of the winter habits of prairie dogs, when
the fellow again pull his sleeve, again
called him aside, and said:
you see that ticket See your name?
Well, we are going to vote for YOU
Take a glass of beer?"
Don't care if | dc"
Once more the candidate joined his
coteris of friends. He was just getting
interested in a graphic account of the
f~aithfulness of the corn shuck as a sign of
a cold or Il mild winter, when the chap
returned. The coat pnling and the re
treat to a corner were repeated. The
man again drew forth the deadly mixed
ticket and in a significant whisper said:
"You see that ticket? See your name?
Well, our crowd
Take a glass of beer.
Don't care 'ido.
And once again the candidate joined
his party around the table. Soon, how
ever, his auondam friend returned. Once
more he was called away.
"Schee that ticket? Schec your
Take a glass of beer.
Don't careifdo.
The beer went the way all good beer
goes, and the candidate was for a moment
at liberty to gather wads of information
about the thickness of the beaver /
houses this year. But in a moment came
a voice saying:
''Schee-hic-schee ther sticket? Schee
your name-hic-? -Four crowd
Take n glass of beer"
"Doneare 'f-hic-do."
The conversation had waxed interesting
and one old timer was telling about the
terrible storm of 60, when the candidate
was heavily lurched against by someone.
Turning, he encountered his faithful
follower.
"Hic-schnee sc~hnicket2 Schnee. hic-
schnee-schrowd vote
Take a glass of beer"
"Doancarefdo.
That beer settled at once the man with
the mongrel ticket and tho talk about the
cold snap of's0. Explaining the adven-
ture afterwards, the candidate said: THE
beer cost me thirty five cents and kept him
50 busy drinking it that he got too drunk
to strike me for two dollars. That's what
he was after. Saved a dollar and sixty
FIVE cents. Its all in knowing how.

A TRIPLE ~cADEScE.
The Rum. Romanism and Rebellion Cry
ofthe Republican Campaign.

Special Dispatch TO the Denver, News.
NEW YORK, November I.-Rum,
Romanism and Rebellion has made muir
Ky the atmosphere of New York. The
Alternative DR.. Buehard, who at the
Blaine ministerial reception, held at the
Fifth Avenue hotel, could not forego the
exquisite pleasure of giving utterance to a
rythmic sentence, has done an irreparable
injury to the Republican party. His re-
markable assertion that the Democratic
party is the party of rum, Romanism and
rebellion. has been spread broadcast all
over the land. It has carried consterna-
ton into Republican ranks. Even the
strongest opponents of Governor Clcve-
land are not prepared to swallow the die
tum of the reverend gentleman. 1t has
cut like Il two-edged sword, wounding
friend and foe alike. In this city il has
aroused a terrible storm of opposition.
The fierce cry of bigotry is raised and will
not be stilled. 1t IS useless for the Re
publican managers to attempt to repudi-
ate the utterance of DIR. Burchard by
heaping opprobium upon his head, calling
him an irresponsible political charetan,
and other such choice epithets. Their
impotent rage only tends to make matters
worse.
The cold fact is pointed IL that the
author Of the offensive sentence was pres
ent by special invitation of Blaine's
managers, and AS the representative Of u
class his utterance voiced the sentiments
of the people he represented. The large
Irish vote of this city is a~ntagonized be-
yond redemption. Nothing now can
turn the tide of detection from the Re-
publican candidate. Everywhere through
out the city people are discussing the i'm
puted assertion of the Chadbmd of the
ministry.
Rum, Romanism and Rebellion are
terms heard upon every street corner, in
stores, on the exchanges. and in club
house and saloons the conversation turns
upon the same exhaustless theme.
The dreadful anathema was hurled like
a knelI of doom at the head of Blaine
himself. As he rode through the streets
to attend the Brooklyn reception tonight
the Republican parade was forced to
march to its horrible triple cadence, as
thousands of indignant Irish-Americans
d%e6antly howled the offensive words along
the lines of sight-seers which filed the
streets. "Rum, Romanism and Rebel
lion was the ominous cry heard every
where tonight.
The Republican managers are thor
oughly alarmed and are working heroi-
cally to stem the tide of defeat, but they
are leading a forlorn hope
The preachers reception is now con
sidered to have been the greatest mistake
of the campaign, and the most cool
headed and conservative men think that
it is too late to rectify the fatal error.
New York and New Jersey are lost to the
Republicans beyond all hope of redemp-
ton.
\ gentleman who was present when
the remarkable sentiment was uttered by
DIR. Burchard. says that its expression
called forth prolonged andhearty applause
from Blaine's friends. 1t was also re-
ceived with every appearance of approval
by Blaine himself. 1t walked more en-
thusiasm than anything else that was
said during the reception, and, 50 far as
he had seen, more than any other event of
the campaign.

cAMPAIcN CHAT.
Cur bstonc Gossip, with some Comments
on Current Events.


Il was very cold late last night. 1t will
be colder still for some people Tomorrow.
Squads of politicians could be seen hate
last night h%urrylng on errands of more or
less political significance.
Can it be that the storm last night was
Il warning to several Republican candi-
dates that they will be showed under to-
! morrow?
1t is currently reported that not a single
two-dollar bill can be found in the banks.
The refusal of the Republican Committee
to aid in the suppression of ballot buying
is lifted to the realms of the significant.
Mr.. Isaac Bergman may secure the
votes of the eolored people by reason of
his financial ability, but the Republican
leaders are the only ones who think that
the colored people will rush, like a flock
of sheep to Il candidate whose chief meth
cd of success exists in a lavish distribution
of two dollar bills.
4 prominent and wealthy Republican
was met on the streets last evening by Il
man who has recently arrived the city.
Are YOU supporting Schnitger p
asked the new arrival.
well, yes" was the reply. Guess
am. paid my taxes the other day."
The joke and the halfhidden truth
paralyzed the n. q. who was carried away
in a hack.
A large crowd constantly surrounds the
betting board which Mr.. Ed McClintock
has erected at Col. Murrin's. If the num-
bero of bets recorded on the board are a fair
index to popular enthusiasm, the election
tomorrow will result IN the exchange of
thousands of dollars. This is exclusive
of the campaign money which the Repub-
lican party has avowed its intention to
spend at the polls.
Every business man and every citizen
who is obliged to be on the streets after dark
knows that the city has been and is over
run with tramps, Migrants and loafers.
Everybody who knows anything about the
matter knows that as a Marshal w. r.
Schnitger has been a monumental failure.
He has long been a pet of Judge Carey's
says the Sun. Granted; but to the
average citizen that fact does not prove
that he would make even a decent Sheriff.
His incompetency as a Marshal proves
that Judge Carey's fayoritism is governed
by political schemes. 1t also proves that
the Judge sometimes lacks good judg-
ment.
UP IN Sweetwater county they look
upon the matter pretty much as they do
here. This paragraph is from the Gazette;
who was the man who looked after
the rights of our mechanics in the halls
