REPUBLICAN PALAVER.
Immediately after the report of the
conference committee had been received,
a communication from the Republican
convention was handed in. The commn-
n~ication was read and was as follows:
CHEYENNE. March u, 1885, Char
man Democratic Conuentiop, SIR
Messrs. C. N. Potter, George Bescherer
and A 7. Rabbit have been appointed
by the Republican convention as a COM
mittee of conference to meet a similar
committee from your convention.
(Signed.) WIN. STuRGIs, JR-,
Secretary Republican Convention.
After the communication had been
read Chairman Haas stated that owing to
the vague and uncertain wording of the
letter he was unable to determine its pur-
pose. After some discussion it was de-
sided to meet the Republican committee
in a friendly spirit and to hear any propo-
sitions it might desire to make. Accord
ingly a motion was made that a committee
of three be appointed to meet the COM
mittee from the Republican convention.
The motion was carried and Messrs. Jo-
seph McGonigle from the first ward, L.
r. Bresnahen from the second ward and
H. B. Kelly from the third ward were
appointed as the said committee. The
Republican, convention was notified of
the appointment of the committee and
the convention then took a recess pending
the report of the conference committee.
FALSE PRETENsEs.
Shortly after Q O'Clock the committee
returned to the convention, which re-as-
sembled to receive it. Mr.. Bresnahen,
in behalf of the committee, reported that
the Republican committee had made no
propositions whatever. Some possibilities
had been mentioned in an informal way,
but nothing had been proposed to the
Democratic committee and the object Of
the request for the conference was still a
matter of inference only.
1t was moved that another recess be
taken pending any action, or further
communication which the Republican
convention might desire to report to this
convention. AFTER waiting ONE time
and nothing further being received from
the hep"piieais' Inc convention reassem-
