The Democracy of Wyoming Territory,
in convention assembled, declare as fol
lows
That the principles of the Democratic
party as enumerated in its platform
adopted by the national Democratic con

the rule and guide of our political faith;
That We affirm the principle enumera.

eral officers in the territories should be
restricted 10 citizens previously resident

That we believe that the interests of our
territory demand a reorganization OF the
judicial and executive departments of our
territorial government;
That the growing interests OF our terri

mail service;
That we believe in nominating and
electing men to the different Offices wholly
upon the ground Of principles, merit and
capability;

test against the controlling influence of
wealth IN our elections, and pledge our
selves to do all in our power to discourage
and prevent the corrupt USE of money in
this and all future elections;
That We demand the enactment of laws
providing for arbitration between EN-.
p,oycrs and employed, and to enforce the
decisions Of the arbtrators;
That we demand the abrogation of all
laws that do not bear equally upon capital

administration of justice,
That we condemn the many hasty, op
pressive and illegal laws passed by our
last legislature, the enforcement of which
will lead To endless litigation. defeat the
melting out Of justice to the people of our
territory, and deprive them of vested
rights;
That W condemn the importation of
foreign contract and pauper labor;
That we oppose he alien ownership of
land in this territory.

IL PROOF OF MIR. Riners professional
abilities-which, however, are not in issue
it should be stated that he is one of the
attorneys of the Union Pacific railway
company, and that ho is an attorney for a
large number of other corporations
probably for a majority Of those which
have regularly retained and permanent
counsel in the territory. All this is con
elusive evidence of Mr.. Riner's profess
ional worth. but cannot be held to consti.
tute special recommendation for the
Office he seeks 1t is possible that some
of the various interests which he repre-.
sents as attorney might come up for his
consideration as a member of the council;
such Interests might even clash with those
Of the people, and no man. however
brilliant and sincere, has ever yet been
able to serve two masters.

As III administration which last APP
pointed a governor for Wyoming was Re-
publican it was natural that it should seek
the most eminent and worthiest citizen of
that party and it had been supposed that
Governor Warren owed his elevation to
his high qualifications rather than to any
body's preference and personal choice.
On this, as on many other subjects. the
occasion seems to demand that public
opinion should be considerably revised.

ONE good effect Of vigilance has already
been manifested in the entirely credible
report that one Republican candidate has
already made livery engagements to the
amount of 81 ,200-a sum which may
perhaps be slightly ia excess of legitimate
outlay. 1t is noteworthy. too, that it
concerns one who claims to be "a poor
man and processes that the Office he
seeks is greatly over-rAteq by the popular
estimate OF its ysiue.

George w. Baxter has been in Wyo-
ming since 1879 having first come to the
territory as an officer of the Sd cavalry.
Two years later he resigned to embark in
business as a stockgrower. Subsequently
he settled with his family in Cheyenne
where he has located his permanent
home. MIR. Baxter is a young man Of
recognized energy and force of character,
with a personal and political record which
is without spot or blemish. ono to whom
the interest of the people may conf
IDENTIFY be committed without apprehen
sion Of neglect, while no one can doubt
his entire competency to discharge the
duties of legislation. Having commenced
with a moderate capital, he has by close
personal attention and intelligent man
agement increased his means until he now
has considerable interests both in this and
in Fremont county.
G. Z. Organ is an ''old timer" having
come to Chey enne in 1867 in government
employ as a teamster, earning the not
very munificent wages Of S35 a month.
For twelve years he remained with the
quartermaster's department. rising long
before the end of that period to the re-
sponsible place Of superintendent of the
depot. He has become thoroughly iden-
tilted with the county and the territory,
and by dlligent attention to business has
acquired valuable mercantile and other
interests not only here in Cheyenne, but
at the new town Of Douglas and in john
son county also. Mr.. Organ is generally
popular among all classes of men and, in
addition. has secured the respect of all

of useful and impartial laws.
T. w. Peters has been selected by the
committee TO supply the vacancy left by

People who have taken the trouble
to 60 down into the swamp lands Just
below the city have found an almost
phenomenal deposit of sand in the
swamp and fields. The sand is as fine
and white as that seen on the beach on
Cumberland island. Many persons
have hauled away carloads of it for
flower gardens, front yards, and o.her
purposes. 1t was known that this
sand was washed upon the lands
by the recent freshet, but where
it came from was a puzzle
when 1t was remembered that the
river bottom and banks are of the red
dest mud. The mystery has been ex-
planned. When the Harrison freshet
occurred in l841 all the land in the
vicinity of Juliette on the East Tennes-
see, Virginia and Georgia railroad was
covered with sand. In the flood the
dwelling of MIR. j. A. Bowdoin was
leveled to the ground and the contents
scattered. The waters subsidized and
left the deposit of sand several feet
deep. A few days ago Mr.. Bowdoin was
engaged in blowing, and, having occn-
sion to visit a portion of his field that he
had not see in some time. he found the
land bare of the sand that had lain on
ii for forty five years. He found pots
and kettles that belonged to his par
ents and had been scattered when the
Harrison freshet destroyed the dwell
ing house. There 0were also wheel
tracks on the hard clay made by wagon
wheels at that time. And thus the
sand that had been left on the land
rear Juliette by one freshet was. after
nearly half q century, taken up by an
other freshet and deposited on the
lands ear Macon.-Macon GA Tele-
