The Richmond Dispatch says: Though
there was no military contest, the drill lot
prizes, according to the schedule of pro-
pramme, by the Alexandria Light Infantry,
the Richmond Howitzers and the stuart
Horse Guards, was remarkably fine through
out The efforts of each company were
highly commended by the spectators, and
as the report of the judges will show, were
of high order of excellence. This exhlbl-
ton drill was, as on the previous day, by
programme confined strictly to 81 move
ments to be- executed in Older OF the
programme, in thirty minutes, any depar-
ture from the stated schedule By the COM
panies to be counted against them. The
first company to drill was the Alexandra
Light Infantry, George A. Mushbach, cap
tain. They exhibited on this occasion, &C
cording to the report Of the judges. the best
drilling at this years fair. If the captain
had understood that the point Of excellence
was the completion of the programme IN
the time specified, and his company had
drilled before az on yesterday, they would
beyond a doubt have received the first
prize in the general drill on Thursday.
Their score yesterday was ninety.two out
of possible one hundred. They received
prize of 800.
The Richmond State says of the first days
drill: "If the drill had been stopped for
each company where the Washington COM
pany left off the Washington company
would have stood first and the Alexandria
company second, making score of 1O9-l53,
and the Walker Light Guard third, making
a score Of 80 153. There were ffty-one
movements to be executed, Of which the
Washington company only executed rs and
the Alexandria company SO. The Walker
Light Guard executed every movement on
the programme The drilling of the Wash
ington company and the Alexandria Light
Infantry was highly complimented, and the
general impression seemed to be that the
Alexandria company, Capt. Mushbach, was
the best drilled company on the grounds"

WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.

One of the greatest and most con-
demnatory blunders made by over-zeal-
Gus temperance people is the trotting out
of their ''frightful examples" upon the
public platform to advertise their for
mer iniquity and degradation by way
Of warning to those present at their
meetings. Had the local clergyman
who spoke at such a gathering on
Thursday evening omitted the recital
of his personal escapades with whisky
the audience would have lost nothing
worth having. Such inflammatory
language as used by the speaker, on
the occasion referred to, is calculated to
bring into disrepute any cause, good,
bad or Indifferent, which he may rep
resent. Such an escapade as the one
in question is calculated to create more
prejudice against the temperance cause
in one brief evening than all the good
which sincere men can accomplish in the
course of many months rational talk.

Of representatives Of the territory Of v 20

THAT the wheels of Justice grind
exceedingly slow is being exemplided in
the case of General Fitz John Porter,
whose effort for relief from the stigma
of d~isloyalty on the n hand, and the
restoration to his former high position
in the army upon the other, has been
pending before congress in n form or
another for nearly two decades past.

Thus it will be observed that the
solid south, with its 1913 votes in the
next electoral college, Is conceded to
the democratic presidential ticket. 1t
is a singular fact that the solid north,
which il accorded to the republicans,
has 154 votes. In this connection, it
may be well to remind our readers that
in the last presidential election the
democrats carried California, Nevada
and New Jersey, while the republicans
carried New York, Ohio and Indiana.
Perhaps il would be fairer to place
New Jersey in the democratic column,
and to rank Connecticut among the
doubtful states. New Jersey has never
cast a republican vote for president but
once, IL the divided vote of 1860 be left
out of the record, and Connecticut is
fair fighting ground, with the odds
slightly in favor Of the republicans.
This arrangement would give the dem
ocrats 1G2 votes certain, while the re-
publicans would have only 14S. For a
majority in the electoral college pol votes
are required. II the democrats secure
che thirty-six votes of New York and
the fifteen votes Of Indiana they will
have 2l3, without counting any OF the
remaining states lclassed as doubtful.
They can elect without Nsw York, but
in that event they will have to carry
either Ohio or Indiana and nearly all
the other doubtful ! states. The repub.
licaus might carry New York and In
diana and still lose the election, as that
would give them only 1919 votes.
Some some strong indications are to
the end that Ohio will be with The de-
mocrscy. Altogether, the outlook is
decidedly encouraging for our party.

BY recent act of the territorial Iegis-
lature published in full in this paper,
it has been made the duty of this as.
s~ociatiop to take the following action
at the general spring meeting on Mon

LIST. To divide the territory into
roundup districts.
End. To hold-a general spring and a
general fall roundup in each district.
Bird. To prescribe and publish the
date and place of beginningieach round
up, and the course it shall take.
4th. To appoint a foreman and as
sistant foreman for each.
1t is the earnest wish and intention
of this association, to perform these
duties for the best interest and accord
ing to the best judgment of the stock
men who live, or handle cattle in each
locality whether they are members of
this association or not.
The stockmen in each section of the
territory know better than any others
how their country should be worked,
and who should act as foreman. This
association is anxious to learn their
wishes and will give equal Importance
to the opinion of zach whether a small
or a large dealer. The association is
DESTROYS of not iDjuring any mans in
t%erest, especially that OF any small
owner, and will not do so if the small
dealers will come to the meeting and
make their wishes known, as regards
above work. or send some one to rep
resent the views of each section.
All stockmen of Wyoming, whether
members of this association or not, are
cordially invited to attend the meeting
at Cheyenne April It'll, and advise the
committee as to how round-ups should
be laid out in their counties.
The reports of cattle inspected for
1881, 1882 and 1888, covering 700, OOO
head examined at shipping points,
Indian agencies, military posts
and killed by railroad trains
are open TO examination by all
stockmen without charge. There are
On these lists 8 ,OtO head of strays for
which the pay a be collected from
the parties who shipped them.
All stockmen are also invited to pub
lish their brands in the territorial brand
book.
This association welcomes all, but
does not seek to force stockmen to be-
come members. 1t aims TO show them
that it is laboring for the general good
of all s~tockowners of this territory.
