One OF the curlosities of styles is the
style in Office coats. Faultless black CORK
screws or Iroadcloths alone will do Tor an
evening dress. Whatever the color or the
cut OF the business suit IL must be the
latest out and the ft must be perfect.
But the Office coat IS altogether a different
matter. Anything thin will do, no matter
what the time of the year. Once the coat
has been purchased il IS used apparently
forever. 1t grows ragged at tle elbows

As the champion of Mr.. Mann for the
county %attorneyship, after bringing INTO
comparison the legal attachments aud pro-
fessional achievements of the two noml-
nees, further asserts of its party favorite
that ''he gets the verdict, and that is
what he is after" it would be well to refer
to the records for the results of cases. The
public, on the suggestion Of Jul contcm
porary, has already been informed of the
relative success of the candidates in eight
cases in which they have been opposed to
each other, and the dense Ignorance pre-
vailing hereabout on the subject of Mr..
Soils professional success may be con-
sidered as, at least, partly dispelled. A
round dozen of other cases complete the
list of all in which Mr.. Mann has been OPP
posed-in those in which he has had no
opponent or in which the accused has
entered a plea of guilty, the Republican
candidate may be accorded a fair measure
of success. &c other cases his unusual
success has been limited to six convictions,
those of Jack Zolledeck, Jas Sill, John
Morton, VIM. NJ. Shuck, VIM. Kitchen
thall and Isaac W. Jacobs. Six, all told,
out of twenty. In the last named case
the Indictment charged an attempt to
murder not murder, as enormously sta
ted yesterday-and the conviction was of
simpls assanlt. When it is considered
that the county attorney has been before
the grand Jury and has full knowledge Of
all the evidence against the accused before
he draws the Indictment, it IS evident
that he has the defendants counsel at a
disadvantage, from a professional point OF
view, and under skilful management, a
majority of the indictments found by his
advice ought to result in conviction, How
different the case stands with Brother
Mann. the records fully show.

AFTER Mr.. Bergman has enjoyed his
third, aud Mr.. Jeffrey his fourth term of
lucrative Office, it is rather a poor com
plinent to the merit aud intelligence of
their party for Republicans to insist that
It's ranks contain no capable and deserv-
ing mar whose candidacy might break the
monotony. Surely those gentlemen do
not own tie offices they occupy and
nothing but the impossibility of filling
their places with other Republicans could
warrant the continual denomination Of the
incumbentsy Yet the requirements are
no ~ difficult as not easily to be filed by
any man Of integrity who is also a thorough
man Of business.

Territorial Democratic Platform, Adop-
ted at RawlIns. Oct. 2. 1886.

The Democracy of Wyoming Territory,
in convention assembled, declare rs fol
lows:
That the principles OF the Democratic
party as enumerated in its Platform
adopted By the national Democratic con
vention at Chicago on July 10, 1884. are
the rule and guide of our political faith;
That we affirm the principle enumera-
ted in our national plotfofm, that the fed
eral officers in the territories should be
restricted to citizens previously resident
therein;
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 oil our terri
tory demand increased facilities in our
mail service;
That we believe in nominating and
e~lccting men to the different offices wholly
upon the ground of principles, merit and
capability;
That we do hereby make a solemn pro-
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-
ploycrs and employed, and to enforce the
decisions of the arbitrators;
That we demand the abrogation of all
laws that do not bear equally upon capital
and labor, and the removal of unjust tech
nicalities. delays and determinations in the
administration of justice,

WHY WE ARE Rvou
A National Characteristic Discussed b

A National Characteristic Discussed by
Woman Notwithstanding Contrasts.
Nervousness is more and more re-
garded as an undesirable characteristic of
our nation. The idea that we are a
pecul arly nervous people is becoming
widespre I'd; this mas been fostered by
articles written on the subject, so that in
the last ten years nervous" has become
almost a household word. The question
ariSe1, are Americans more nervous than
other nations o the same grade of civil
cation. and II so what are the means OF
overcom ng such n condition. IL Is usual
to attribute much to Innate. While
doubtless 1t has influence, it should be
remembered that in the United States
every climate except the extremes of the
equator and the poles is experienced.
Setting aside heat and cold, the dryness
and the electrical conditions of the atmos-
phere are the two factors which are said
TO net upon the nerves unfsvorable. Such
a supposition is extremely hypotheti cal
and can not be proven. 1t is, however,
plain that the dry atmosphere of Colorado,
the ty pical dry climate, acts favorably
upon people suffering from nervous ex-
haustion.
The fact that climate is not a prominent
influence Is shown most c~onclusively by
the condition of those towns which are
found upon the map, though invisible to
the eye, which separate the United States
from Canada on the north and Mexico on
the south. The inhabitants OF places
within an arrow shot of each other ex-
hibit the contrasting national peculiari-
ties, A stirring Texan town, with all the
enterprise AMI "gor OF America can be

ish town. with its sleepy Inhabitants with

To avoid u we should pay
more attention to hygiene. not indulg. in
hurry and excitement, tax physical and

dren out of this notion that because one
Is an American he or she must perforce
be nervous.
1t is n loss of the governing power. the
will, which allows an increased reflex ac-
ton unchecked, ~unhindered, which is
characteristic OF the nervous. and has
given TO the word its modern definition OF
weakness, while a proper display OF c III
trolling, impelling. inhibiting impulses,
according 10 their nature, gives the OLD
time Specification of strength aud force.
There is no reason in the externals which
surround Americ ms, II they properly un-
derstand themselves and regu ate ths ir
desires, their methods of living, tn cir ed
ucalion, why the nervousness which has
been attributed to them should not be n
glory rather than a stigma. DR.. Grace

ME county, is one which commends itself
to voters, irrespective Of party. for few
men are either more widely or more favor
ably known throughout the county. Col.
Murrin is a native of Ireland, born in
1889, and came to this country when a
boy of IA. His first American home was
in Cincinnati, o., where he continued to
reside until the outbreak of the civil war.
Then, like so many other gallant Irish
men, he answered promptly to his coun-
try's first call for help, and enlisted In
April, 1861, as a private in,the 10th Ohio
volunteer infantry, commaEded by the
gallant Lyle, who afterwards fell at
Chickamauga. The first service of the
regiment was in West Virginia, where
young Murrin soon won for himself a
lieutenant's shoulder straps and rose
gradually through successive grades to
the rank of field officer. When Gen.
Rosecrans assumed command of the
army of the Cumberland, Col. Muir
rim was detached from his regiment
and assigned to duty on that generals
staff. After the fierce fight at Chlcka-
manga, he was mentioned in special or
ders-a conspicuous honor coveted by all

by the veterans of the Old Guard-and

field, chief of staff to Gen. Rosccrans is
among Col. Murrin's most cherished me
mentos to day. Soon afterward Maj
Murrin was ordered to Columbus, o., to
take charge of and conduct to the field
the l93d regiment Of hat state, with
which he promptly reported for duty to
Gen. Stevenson, then IN command at
Harper's Ferry. From this time to the
close of the war he served in the Valley
of Virginia in Hancock's veteran corps
Upon the cessation of hostilities, the col
onel returned to Ohio, but after two years
camc west to what is now Wyoming, set
Ting here in August, 1867, when the town
was less than a month old. During the
following winter. at. the first municipal
election he was chosen mayor OF Chey-
enne, and discharged the difficult
duties OF that Office to the gen
eral satisfaction and with honor to
himself. Col. Murrin brought the first
stock of groceries to Cheyenne, and made
the first subscription for the support Of a
public school. From the beginning there
fore, he has been foremost in all useful en-
terprises, and has manifested his gencros
ity and public spirit on every occasion cal
ling for their exercise. He has served as
chairman of the territorial Democratic
committee for eight years, and has rem
dered effective service TO the territory as
chairman Of the board Of penitentiary
commissioners. In this capacity he has
been instrumental in saving many
thousands of dollars for the people. When
he came to office, the territory was using
the United States penitentiary at Lara
ME at a monthly expense Of over $1,000;
now the only cost of maintaining its pris-
oners consists of the expense involved in
their transportation to Joliet. Col. Muir
rim possesses every qualification for the
position of sheriff, in addition to those
personal qualities which are recognized
even by his political opponents, not a few
OF whom will give him a cordial support.
