Gently committed at Rock Springs. He did
not propose making any further replies at
this time to the false statements being in
dustriousIy circulated regarding his com
pany and its management more than to
say, in justice to Governor Ward, that the
i~nsinuation that he is in any way indebted
to the Union Pacific Railroad Company is
and maliciously false. That gen.
tlemsn is not now, nor, so far as Mr.. Gala
way knows, has he ever been under any
obligation to the Union Pacific, either in
respect to his business interest or for his
appointments as Governor OF Wyoming. |

dence of his fitness for the position he
honors and of his humanity by standing
up against the prejudice OF his people in
protecting the lives and property Of q
despised race, and is entitled to the respect
of all right-minded and ~law-abiding citi-
Zens.
