utterly powerless. They cannot sue

safe. Our bonds will rcmain in the

Lay piled in bloody heaps upon the plain;
And all the people sang the hero's praise,
And crowned him with the yictor's honered

And won a wighty victory within;
no one rehearsed his praise. or sung his fame,
But Heavens recording angel wrote his name,

An AvAR1ctous AGE.-A great
many people call the present age an
avaricious one. The American, as n
rule. thinks of the almighty dollar7in
all of his transactions, whether in the
pursuit of wealth, health or pleasure.
The general tendency Of our race IS
toward excess, and this should be
carefully guarded against, The loye
of money is generally credited with
being the root of all evil, but all peo.
pie seem to be after plenty of the root.

LET Us HAVE Il

It Is the sincere wish of every honest
citizen of Cheyenne that the polls next
Tuesday will not furnish a duplication of
the scenes of two years ago. A more
thoroughly disgraceful and more astouud-
ingly open and above board public barter
and sale of votes was never witnessed in a
city on the American continent. People
with any respect for the sacredness Of the
ballot were startled and amazed to see citi-
zens, nominally decent and respectable,
candidates for officers of trust aud respon-
sibility. stand in broad daylight with their
fingers filed with bills like sharks at a
horse race, purchasing the coy and re
luetant suifrages Of Americas freemen at
50 much per head. \ more degrading
and ~demoalizing spectacle il would be
impossible 70 imagine.
Two years aga Isaac Bergman. then as
now Republican candidate for Probate
Judge and County Treasurer. secured an
unenyiable notoricty for his p~iodigious
royal American nerve in thir respect il
Is to be hoped for the sake Of American
S~itizenship and for Che hopor and integri-
~ Of the quasi-iudieial position which he
holds that he will not again next Tuesasy
assume his disgraeeful role Of two years
ago.

Ma. y. y. CKAle, the Democratic can
didaie for Sheriff, and Mr.. W. g. Pro-
vines, Democratic candidate for County
Clerk, have since the campaign opened
conducted their contests with manly and
straightforward honesty, They have en-
deavorcd to reach these offices upon their
individual merits and without attacking
the rseords Of their opponents even when
they knew them to b. in some respects
couspicuously vulnerable. The Republi-
can nominees. however. have not been
governed by the same strict rules of po-
litical honesty. Not only privately but
through the columns of newspapers have
disparaging statements been made, OF
course anything that could be construed
into a reflection upon Messrs. Craig and
provinces in their capacities as private
citizens has been very Intangible and very
hinsy, but uniailingly seurrilouu The
initiative has been taken By othens aud
with them rests the blame Of awakening
recollections that the Republican candi-
dates would better have left slumbering.

The SuA tas assumed the big contract
Of attempting to demonstrate that in
some remote way Mr. Holiday was con-
nected with the passage Of the amended
Maverick Bill. The paper has already
reached that stage in the proceedings
when it has made perfectly plain that
while Mr.. Holiday was not the father Of
the bill o yet the stepfather or grand
father, and while he was T either connected
remotely or closely by blood ties or inter
marriage, yet had Mr.. Holidays views
been different from what they are there
IS Il remote contingency hat his action
might have been different If il were not
Otherwise. The grounds by which the
conclusions are reached are not very cir
cpmstantial and are 80 apt to tangle up a
man who is honestly seeking to unravel
what theyre driving at, that we fear the
SIN man is cxhausting himself in the
effort to produce an obscure and premedi-
lated bit of humor.

The Philadelphia Tymes, as every on,
knows, is one Of the leading independent
and most generally heightened papers
published in the United States. In POI
ltical matters especially, its editor, Colo
mel \. X. Mcclure, is considered one of
the most thoroughly posted men ia the
country. On October lG The Times pub
lished an estimate of the probable cleo
touI vote, in which a total of III votes
wen footed III as being positively for
Cleveland, aud a total Of l43 .iust as
positively for Blaine. As doubtful States
The Times reckoned California, Connect
cut, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire,
New York and Wisconsin. which give al
together 81 votes.
In the ten succeeding days the aspect
Of the contest was materially changed.
As The Times says New York may nov
be transferred from the list Of doubtful
States to the Cleveland column, and In
diana and New Jersey transferred from
the Cleveland States 10 the doubtful
column, presenting the following result

RHYME AND REASON,

A beautiful theme in the mouths of
some Republicans is the all mannerof fine
things Judge Carey will do for Cheyenne
if he il only elected. N
He viii ret n railroad run up north he
will have Yellowstone Park removed with
in hailing distance; he will get each widow
and orphan an appropriation of an old
copper cent with a hole punched in it if
necessary; he will have Crow creek rem.
dered nayigable at government expense;
he will cause trees to grow without arti-
fetal irrigation, he will find a female
progenifor for each Iuotherlcss maverick
in the Territory; he viii present each able
bodied man in the city with a two-story
cottage surmounted by a cupola aud de-
void Of the usual concomitant in the
shape of a chattel mortgage; with the
magic of an Aladdin he will cause stately
and picturesque mansions to spring up
along the line of the Boulevard until that
fashionable drive dwarfs the magnifcence
of the Venetian Rialto in its palmiest
days; he will keep the grass green and
temper the Winter winds to the shom
lamb; he will give the Territory a lurid
tinge that will be the wonder and admira
ton Of all after-coming generations until
time is rolled into eternity.
To hear one of these enthusiastic per
sons talk Il listener might he left ia doubt
whether there was an insignificant thing
under the eternal canopy Of the high
heavens that cannot be had by merely
asking for it, 4 judee Carey IS only
elected.
This sort of talk fairly reeks with tom
f%oolery. Inrf
\ small streak of common sense en-
grated into the integuments of these en-
thusiastic people might teach them the
wisdom Of drawing the line somewhere.
They should appreciate that there is not
only 4 limit to human endurance but that
the capacity Of Western people for be-
%lieving fine-haired yarns Is not quite so
extended as a ten acre lot
Of courseth inference sought to be Gre
ated is that Mr.. Holiday will not seek to
achieve these things and they are right
He will not devote his time to following
willie -the-wisp freaks, but like a practi-
cal. sensible man he will proceed within
the bounds Of reason and prudence to Sc
cure recognitions Of unqnesfioned utility
for the Territory.
The digniied aud practical way thai be
looks at this matter is well exemplifed In
the following telegram reeeived yesterday:
Rock SpRISGs, Wyo., October al
! Hon. VI. 4, Post:-In answer | will say
thar Hill sparcno effort to secure to Chey-
emo the benefit Of such appropriations

posts as your own ie~t ~eitiseus would ask.

CHEYENNE, October 3l.-As j. Nj.
Carey did when he started last season TO
make his improvements in this city, i'm
port nine-tenths of his labor from Den

the same curse to get votes ut the com

JUDGE CAREY,s UowARDICE-
THE LEADER has heretofore adyerted
to Joseph NJ. Carey's wholesale lack Of
moral stamina and his eoincident lack of
faith in his own popularity with the
masses.
While he has the best of good grounds
upon which to base the latter conclusion,
Industrious efforts have lately been made
70 create Il quite contrary impression.
Long l~audatory articles, written By per-
sonal friends on the outside, have lately
been appearing in the Sun, and the thing
now begins to look like an organized
scheme to boost the Judge away mp into a
position OF mild deihcation.
Does he deserve such extraordinary
Rlorifcation
Nobody has had the temerity TO claim

opened.

The same paper thus conciscly sums up
the situation
Indiana, New jersey and Connecticut
are not naturally doubtful States as be-
tween Cleveland and Blaine but the Re
publican leaders propose to make them
doubtful by money, power and fraud, and
they are doubtful because political success
is always possible by such methods. Such
methods carried Indiana for the party in
October, 1850. They carried New York
for the party in November, and it is ex-
pected by the leaders who rely upon
money, power and fraud for success, that
Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut can
thus be overpowered on Tuesday next
IT the Republican leaders had only
one or even two doubtful States TO over
power, they would have a fair chance of
success; but they must fight for Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and Connect
cut in New England; for Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin in the
West, and for California and Nevada on
the Pacific Slope, and the line is too long
and the demand too severe to PROMISE
success. But the fact that it has been de
cided by the Republican leaders that Indi-
ana, New jersey and Connecticut must be
made doubtful by money, power and
fraud. is notice that they arc doubtful.
