The Democratic convention last even
ing nominated Mr.. A. II. Reel for the
mayoralty. The gentleman hasaeeeptedt the
nomination. The choice Of Mr.. Reel is a
happy one, and il will undoubtedly meet
with the appreciation Of a majority of our
citizens, who will have an opportunity TO
express their views on this subject by their
ballots next Tuesday. Mr.. Reel is a well
know citizen of Cheyenne, who has abided
with the Magic City from the beginning,
shared all its ups and downs, ever ex-
pressing by words and deeds unbounded
faith in its future, and aiding in many
ways to make Cheyenne the leading city
in this part of the West. He is a shrewd,
careful business man, and as such will
give the city's finances the attention
needed. A sagacious and upright mana
ger Of his W business, he will confer
upon the city the benefit of his expert
ence, and-so direct its affairs, with the
aid of the Democratic majority in the
city council. as to avoid the financial diff
culties which threaten it.
Mr.. Hoyt, the Republican nominee, al
ready holds the position of county com
missioner, and as it is desirable to have
the county and city's affairs administered
by different officials. it is likely that the
voters will leave Mr.. Hoyt to devote his
spare time solely to the county during his
present term Of Office, and assign to MI.
Reel the duty Of taking charge of the
city's concerns. That will be the best
arrangement hat can be made under the
circumstances. and the most satisfactory
to the voters and taxpayers OF this city

THE BRITISH COMMONS.
Acrimonious Debate ON John Brlght's
Speech at the Spencer banquet.

LONDON, July 28.-In the House of
Commons this evening Mr.. Callan moved
that Mr.. Bright's speech at the recent
banquet to Earl Spencer be considered q
breach of privilege.
Mr.. Bright expressed his regret at
using the words if they were censurable,
but it was nevertheless true that the
Parnellites had assailed Earl Spencer
and the Crown officers.
Sir Michael Hicks Beach thought il
unadvisable to make such occasions
cause for motion of breach of priv.
lege.
In the course of the debate several
Irish members made acrimonious re-
marks. Mr.. Callan then asked leave to
withdraw his motion, having accom-
plished his object. He had a supreme
contempt for Mr.. Bright's language, and
had no confidence in the justice of the
House,
Leave to withdraw was refused, and
the motion was rejected by vote of l54
to %.
Mr.. Callan's attack upon Mr.. Brigh,
was VA against ssie advice of Mr.. Parnell

whole House throughout. He had paired
