stone For the CapitoI.

Manager Lett of the Union Pacific
stone quarries has been in the city, and
yesterday Contractor Green.ee ordered
from him 100. carloads Of Stout stone.
This order will be spfdcient to finish the
foundations of the building, and this
work will be completed by the first OF
January, 1887. The water table will be
at the lattes included.
The stone will arrive daily, and the
contractor will at once put on a force of
men sufficient for the occasion.
There seems to be some doubt as to
the stone to be used in the construction
of the building itself. 1t may be Stout
stone with trimmings from the Rawlins
quarry, or it may be that Rawlins stone
will compose the entire face of the struc-
ture. 1t is understood that Contractor
Fieck has been telegraphed to and will be
in the city at an early day.

THE ToLLING BELL.
The Laramie County Republicans
in Convention.
Propping a lettering Ticket on
Its Legs.

The Republican campaign comedy came
off at the court house yesterday accord
ing to advertisements and posted bills.
The doors were thrown open at lO:45,
a. M, and at HIS the leading actors, re-
specially followed by their long tail of
supports and ''supes," appeared within
the rail, and the. performance began.
MIR. j. A. Riner called the meeting to
order, a proceeding particularly necessary.
as owing probably to the smoked wreathed
and battle-rattled memories of the grand
old party, much noise and confusion pre-
vailed among the delegates, On motion
Mr.. Teschemacher was called to the chair
pro TEN. Mr.. W. p. Gannett was desig-
mated as temporary secretary. A com
mittee of five on credentials was, on mo-
ton, named by the chair, consisting of
the following gentlemen: Col. A. Il.
Rabbit, n. O'Brien, f. S. Lusk, |. Berg
man and W. Van Devanter. Col. Bah.
bitt explained that the city should not
grab all of the committee, and gracefully
resigned IN favor of 'one of the bone and
sinew of the grand old party, a horny
handed, honest son of toll According
ly Mr.. D. L. Brown was allowed to infuse
his modicum of rural honesty into the
committee.
1t vas now moved that proxies be with
drawn as a legal tender. On the expiration
of a certain time allowed for preliminary
arrangements, this motion was adopted
A committee on permanent organization,
Of five members was now appointed by
the chair. The following names were
placed on the committee: A. Gilchrist, j.
Granger, d. D. Moore, Wilson Wood
and Henry Schlitz. A committee on res
buttons was now in order. and the chair
named the following gentlemen: Col. A.
T. Rabbit, S. j. Quinby, I. W. Mann,
ii. E. Beuchner and A. D. Kelley.
Col. Rabbits generosity in withdraw
ing from the committee on credentials was
now borne in on his mind, and he arose
to ask il it were possible hat the list Of
the committee on resolutions be extended
by the addition of several proxies he held.
After some moments of grave considera-
ton the chair decided that the request
was not parliamentary, and with an ex-
preston of placid regret on his regular
features, the colonel sat down.
The chair now delivered an impressive
Grafton, speaking the words of wisdom
when it referred to the desperate crisis
which they were facing, and urged all
to be on hand promptly at 2 p. m. and
labor and spare not. The delegates were
then graciously allowed to go until the
hour namcd

The Circus Thieves AGAIN.

Yesterday morning before daylight, a
man was held up and robbed on the depot
grounds, in the immediate vicinity of the
Pacific hotel. The thieves are the same
men who followed the circus here, and
were subsequently arrested for swindling
operations in cheap jewelry by our police.
They we're brought before Judge Lee
and fined $50, and in default were set to
work on the streets. They managed TO
escape from the officer in charge of the
street gang, and the depot robbery follow
ed. The thieves secured Sl7 in money
from their victim, and all the clothes in
his satchel. The robbery was peculiarly
bold, as the plundered man was standing
on the side of the track awaiting the
coming OF a freight train. which was in
the act of approaching. He was crept
upon, thrown to the ground, p%inion,d
and a handkerchief thrust in his mouth.
The robbers took the ties east, and are
supposed to have struck for the circus
again.

A gentleman Just in from the Big Sandy
and South Pass country informs the scribe
that there are no less than three survey
ing parties working in the interests OF as
many railroads in that section.
The Wyoming & Utah, the Northwest
ern and the Burlington & Missouri are the
lines represented. The former is %ostensi-
bly, a Salt Lake company. but is really
owned and controlled by Drexel, Morgan

west from the South Pass country, having
reached that point from the Sweetwater
valley.

Meeting called to order. Permanent
organization effected, with Teschemacher
as president, Messrs. Rabbit and Swan
vice presidents, W. p. Gannett as score
tary, and Harry Bush and Geo. II.
Truckey as assistant secretaries. The
president made another speech, in which
he spoke of the present weakness of the
Democratic ticket. and feelingly alluded
to the strength it would develop between
now and the day of election. In these
feeling illusions, the convention evidently
sympathized strongly with its presiding
officer.
Col. Rabbit 5 committee on resolutions,
reported, the colonel himself reading the
dissertation. Cleveland's administration
was torn all to pieces. The Democratic
house of representatives was set up and
knocked down; Dakota was admitted; the
Republican eye looked upon the guarding
of public monies from official plumber as
"parsimony, and the guarding was con
demned as Democratic; and a bid was
made for the northern vote. The colon
els words rolled out in sonorous periods,
and he added his own unqualified approval
of his work, to the applause greeting the
Republican sentiments expressed. Reso-
%lutions adopted.
1t was now moved that eleven delegates
to the Rawlins territorial convention be
selected, and the following gentlemen
were named: f. A. Slack, c. N. Potter,
Willis Van Devanter, Frederick S. Hebard
Andrew Gilchrist, George H. Truckey,
John a. Riner, Frank S. Lusk, William
p. Ga nett, H. f. Teschemacher and
Thos. f. Durbin, and the gentlemen
named were declared the choice OF the
convention.
These delegates were instructed by the
convention to do everything in their pow
er for the nomination of Joseph NJ. Carey
for congress. These indefinite instructions
are supposed to have derived the breath
of life from the northern political breezes
inimical TO Mr.. Carey, which have of late
blown so strongly and persistently.
For the council, from the first district,
the following gentlemen were nominated
j.. A.. Riner, J. w. Hammond and II. Il.
TcscLemacher. Messrs. Gilchrist, A. d.
Kelley and Babbitt refused to have their
names before the convention. These gem
tlemen were business men, but their busi-
ness did not lie with the ticket.
Charles A. Guernsey was nominated
for councilman at large by reclamation.
For the house of representatives TWEEN
ty.two names were presented. The presi-
dent in vain attempted to stay the tide of
nominations. The spirit of self sacrifice
was abroad, and an en- masse candidacy
was imminent. However the nominating
iiend became exhausted at the twenty
second name. A very promising motion
to ballot by the county poll books was lost
by being unparliamentary, and the nomi-
nations were waded through with, re.
sulting in the choice of the fol
lowing gentlemen; Willis Van De
%vanter, Chas. Cushmgbcrry, n. J.O'Brien
John Roberts, +. T. Duffy, T. b
Adams and d. f. Browne.
The sheriffalty was next on the list, anc
the names OF s. X. Sharpless and W. II.
Schnitger were placed before the conven-
ton. On ballot Mr.. Sharpless was found
to have a majority Of the votes, and was
declared the nominee of the convention.
There was no opposition to j. X. JEFF

party, as the man who could get the
votes and run a campaign The CON
vention was delighted, and Mr.. Bergman
was made its unanimous choice.
II. W. Mann VS. renominated for

being no opposition.
The nominees for county commissioners
are Thos. Swan, [. c. Whipple and A.

j. 5. Titcomb for surveyor on third ballot.
and James Hill for coroner.
DIR. Wyman renominated for county
superintendent of schools by acclamation.

justices of the peace in the Cheyenne
precincts. Justices of the peace nomina.
tons were made for all of the outlying
precincts represented.
VIM. Phillips and BENJAMIN Smalley
were nominated for c~onstables, Cheyenne
precinct.
The business of the day being over, an
enthusiastic rural delegate moved that the
members of the convention be photo
graphed. The motion was promptly lost,
the sense of the convention being that
some of the photographs might be cap
tured by THE LEADER and used as dam

Late evening before last, three United
States soldiers from Fort Russell attacked
the saloon and dwelling house of Frank
Halstead. on the Ketchum ranch, on Crow
creek. They shot into the windows, the
bullets breaking the panes, and shattering
lamps, a clock and various other house
hold articles.
In the midst OF the report of the guns,
the crash Of broken glass, and the screams
of his %womankind, Halstead secured his
gun, and opened fire from the house.
The soldiers fled, and Halstead's bullets
followed them into the darkness. Yes
terday morning he ascertained the names
of the attacking party, and coming to town
swore out a warrant for their arrest.
They will be taken into custody to-day.
The outrage can only be attributed to the
combination of soldier and whisky.

Why MI. Tilden Whisners.

From the New York Tribune, yesterday
Judge Shipman in the United States circuit
court heard final argument yesterday in the
suit of Matthew II. Maynard, the assignee of
the estate of William l.. Wetmore against
Samuel j. Tilden. The suit is in reference to
the ownership OF the valuable iron mine which
Mr.. Tllden obtained at q low price. Mr. Wet
more owned a One-sixth interest in the mine
and the complaint alleges that Mr.. TiIden OBJ.
tained control of that interest in fraudulent
way Mr.. Iiiden In his testimony denies that
he was in partnership with Mr.. Wetmore and
says that all acts We're done under a corporate
organization. He denies any fraud in his acts
In his testimony Mr.. Tilden says concerning his
health:
81 have an affection ofthe larynx which i'm
pairs the elasticity OF what are called the vocal
cords so that they will not come together. and
air passes through without their helping To form
sounds and so reduces me to a whisper. There is
Eosoreness nor apparent disease but only q loss
OF elasticity SO that 1T makes me talk with great
difficulty and generally in a whisper, excepting
when nave "a cold, under which the cords an-

One of Gen. Sherman's Affections.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Col. Hazard told us a couple of stories OF
Sherman which are new to me. He was in the
same car with the hero of Georgia on their way
home from some army reunion not long ago.
The seat beside the general happened to be va
cant for time, and Col. Hazard, passing
along the aisle, stopped and said:
General, may share your seat?"
Sherman glanced up through his iron gray
brows, and responded, somewhat YEARLY:
"1es-if you amt just going to say you were
with me-
Hazard hadn't more than fairly seen the
point OF qualification until a stranger came up
Iull of enthusiasm and, reaching out to shake
hands, exclaimed:
Gen. Sherman, how do you do? Natural as
life, swear. was with you, general. l was
with you when we split the heart of the rebel
lion in twain"
II knew it," was all the answer he got, but as
soon as he moved away the old general broke
out emphatically: They were all with me,
and they are all with me- yet. BY heavens, ii
1 had ever had half as many able-boded men
with me- as say they were the war wouldn't
have lasted q week"
