The Democratic party to day asks your
suffrages for its candidates for city
cilmen. 1t has selected men of unim-
peached character, and Of first class bust
ness ability. Successful business men,
all Of them, and as such, you may vote
for them unhesitatingly: because men
whs manage their own affairs in a BUSH
ness like way are the right sort OF men to
place at the head of municipal matters.
They are well known men, men Of a
broad guage pattern. who will carefully
guard the interests of the tax payers,
carefully counting the cost, before COM
mencing any work of public improve
ment. The voter is urgently requested to
bring to the polls with him his county tax
receipt. or be ready to swear in his vote.
County Treasurer Bergman who agreed
to furnish the democratic city com
mittee with a certified copy Of
the list of those who had
paid their poll tax, yesterday
refused to do so. This action has led to
the suspicion that a number Of names
have been added TO the list within the
twenty days preceding election, and that
Mr. Bergman prefers not to swear to the
correctness Of the list. In or ier, there
for, to guard against any attempt to de-
prive you of your riphts, bring your tax
receiI Is, and watch the polls vigilanily
for attempts to run in voters who have
no right to exercise the franchise. Vote
early, and bring along your neighbors and
friinds to cast a vote for the citizens

WILSON A. WHIrooMB
needs no introduction to the voters OF
Cheyenne. A resident of the city for the
last nine years, and a member of the firm
OF Cowhick 4 Whitcomb since it com
menced business, he has been prominently
identified with every public enterprise.
Identified, too, in a way that felt his in
1uence. Every legitimate ard worthy
enterprise has received his prompt and
liberal aid in cash. To the truth of this,
every charitable enterprise, the boys Of
the Grand Army, the fremen and The
railroad employees, will bear willing
and overwhelming testimony. But
never in all this period has
Mr.. Whitcomb appeared as a candidate
for political preferment, or taken any
leading part ia politics. He is not a par
tisan in the usual acceptance OF that
term. While a democrat, he has always
been conservative, and liberalin his views.
He has a host Of friends among the re-
publicans of the ward. who will to day
cast their ballots for him, because they
they know the sterling character of the
man. The citizens Of the the ward owe
it to themselves, that a candidate of this
character shall not be beaten by purchased
votes, or by any trick that the ring may
devise.
