HAWKINS. Aug. 10.
10 Tie Democracy Of Wyommg-As
chosen representatives of your organiza
ton, the territorial central committee take
occasion respectfully to submit for your
consideration n few suggestions which
seem opAortune as bearing Immediately
upon the issues of the coming campaign,
the material interests of the territory and
the practical want of the people.
The importance of securing the best
representation IN ongress which the lin
tied privileges of a territorial condition
afford ls absolutely momentous in the in.
cipicnt but highly progressive state in
which every industrial enterprise and
every local interest stands to 'day. An
earnest and vigilant delegate, with broad
views and without local prejudice, one
who will work diligently and can work
effectively to promote the welfare of our
people, can accomplish much. A Demo-
crat, in sympathy with the party and in in.
telligent working harmony with its infuen-
tial leaders would be able TO shape national
legislation in the interest of his constitu
ents to an extent only 10 be measured by
the total absence of result from recent
Republican effort. The wants of Wyo-
mini have been disregarded beyond those
of any other territory, because her dele
gate accredited to the popular branch of
congress has therein been practically ig-
nored.
In order to rebuke the growing spirit of
local Jealousy and sectional strife, it seems
proper to suggest that the standard bear
er OF the party should be Il man whose
record shall identity him with the welfare
Of our whole chrysalis commonwealth,
and who shall be canable of ignoring the
petty bias of locality in Difference to the
common wants of all. Such a man from
whatever county he may come. and with
whatever interest he may have been idcn.
titled, must necessarily combine all the
elements OF success.
With regard to the local interests of
the countles II may be said that by far the
most important offices are those Of coun-
cllmen aud representatives. in the terrlto-
rial legislature. The past is too fresh to
require comment on the glaring defects
and serious blunders which have wrought
injury to all without working /, nefit TO
any interest, or the people OF Wyoming.
Let practical mem, capable of looking for.
ward to that future of establishing pros
perity which wise legislation would assure.
be nominated IN every county-mcn ST..
lected for the general confidence. which
Their nomination would inspire.
The necessity of securing for the admin
i~stration Of county affairs officers com.
mended by their personal qualities, must
be apparent, and in this it is earnestly
recommended that mere individual fll-
lowing be deferred to the need of %organiz-
ing to promote final and lasting success.
Attention is earnestly called to the i'm
portance OF preventing. as far as possible,
the corrupt methods to which our oppo
ncnts have shown Themselves too ready To
resort. Thu election law is full and com
plete IN nroviding effective safeguards
against the control of elections hy undue
means. Let Democratic organization
array itself to secure the enforcement
Of every penalty provided by the
election law by authorizing the
publication of its leading provis
ions, and by the selection not only OF Wig
liant c%hsllengors, but also of committees
determined and pledged to prosecute
every infraction of law. Such a course
will tend TO disarm our enemies of their
strongest weapon and to establish that
absolute freedom of election which alone
is necessary to assure Democratic success.
Your committee is convinced that an
observance of these suggestions must con
| duce TO party success and tend to the
>pid advance and permanent establish
\pn the most favorable footing of
N ia. EDITORIAL contest. while sure lead
Is comm. Specialization of our growing
equal an, as a wholly self governing.
