Territorial Democratic Platform, Adop-
ted at Rawiins, Oct. 2,

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
vention at Chicago on July 10, 1881, are
the rule and guide of our political faith;
That We affirm the principle cnumera-
ted in our national piotfccm. 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 of our terri
tory demand increased facilities in our
mail service;
That We believe in nominating and
lecting men to the different Offices wholly
upon the ground Of principles, merit and
s~apability;
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-
pioyen and employed, and to enforce the
decisions of the arbitrstors;
That we demand the abroqation of all
Jaws that do not bear equally upon capital
and labor, and the removal Of unjust tech
nicalities. delays and Determinations in the

ASSESSOR Ann CORONER.

Very few matters pertaining to revenue
are of more importance than the need OF
securing, first of all, a fair assessment,
and in this much depends Oh the ctarac-
ter of the officer on whom the daty has
been imposed by law. J.. w. Wsrlau-
munt, the Democratic nominee for the
position of assessor. is thoroughly quail
fed for the business of the office and has,
in addition, won the confidence of all
who have come in contact with HIM. MT.
Walaumont is a native Of Iowa. was
raised on a farm in that state, and re-
ccivcd his education in the common
schools. In 1878 he came to Wyoming
and engaged in the business OF making
brick for several years before obtaining a
clerkship in the freight department OF the
Union Pacific Railway company, which
he continues %acceptably to fill. Mr.. Warl
aumUnt has never taken other than a citl-
zen's part in politics, and has never be-
fore been a candidate for any public of
fee. He is, however, the present fore
man OF the Pioneer Hook and Ladder
company, a position for which he has
been chosen on account of his energetic
personal character. He will make a good
assessor and give that strict and thorough
attention to details necessary TO insure a
fair apportionment of taxation among all.
John T. Chafin, the Democratic nomi-
nee for coroner. is a native Of Virginia,
but came to Wyoming from st. Louis in
1863, settling in Cheyenne. lie has
therefore the advantage of a wide &C
quaintance among the pioneers. Mr.
Chafin has had ample opportunities for
showing his capacity in various situations
calling for the exercise of qualifications Of
a high order. He served for a year aud a
half as chief clerk in the Cheyenne post
Office under W. W. Corlett and has &C.
ceptably filled the Office of county assessor
for several terms. What is more directly
to the point just now. he has already
served one term as coroner, having been
elected III ES2 IL addition TO
his experience and intimate kncw!-
edge of the duties of the
office, Mr.. Chafhn has an undoubted ad
vantage over his competitor from the fact
that he resides at the county sea-, where
a coroner wonl1 naturally be expected to
be found. whereas the gentleman who
has been nominated by the opposite party
lives near Egbcrt, entirely out of the way
OF an Immediate call.

Native BORN Americans whose boy
hood, at least, was either passed upon
the farm or in a small country village"
"Why?"
because they are. usually. of good
physical quality, and they know how to
do, fairly well. almost anything. Most of
then can do a fair turn Mt plain cooking
or baking. they can sew tolerably well
and on a pinch can do a clever act at

Isn't that rather hard on the cit
chaps?"
Did you ever think over the fact that
most of the very successful men in the
cities and most of the men who have
been successful in the army. received
their early training on the farm
well. l guess that's about correct"
"Of-course 1t is. That suggests, how
ever. another phase to this question as
to where the best soldiers come from.
The American people are prominently
self-helpful and self-reliant and | can
didly believe they make the best soldiers
in the world. The English sol
der is all right so long as his stomach is
full. but let his rations fall off and lie
loses spirit. The German soldier is

are desperate and immovable because of
religious devotion and ignorance that
they were calculated for any other pur-
pose than 10 be shot down. The French
soldiers ARE all right with superb elan
and rank patriotism, but physically
they arc inferior. The Americans COM
bine the best qualities Of all these ma
tons. with the added value of habits of
thought, self argument. natural intolli-
gence. mechanical versatility and thor-
ough belief in self-help backed by ambi-
ton to excel"
Are they hard to discipline
Not at all. for the reason that they
are intelligent and can listen to areu-
ment. They are a reasoning people.
There is one other strong point in favor
of the American soldier. \ majority
a very large majority-of the American
soldiers nave n love for cleanliness, an

SEA AMI SKY.

r -
Long ago, when the world was new,
The sapphire sky and the ocean blue
Welded one summer day;
And the skies still benz as the years 90 by,
And the ocean leaps to the bending sky.
For constant lovers are they.
But when n mist arises between,
Tine ocean, grown with jealousy green,
His doubts to the ~llsta-c. -,
lie storms and treus. he RACES and roars,
In furious wrath he beats his shores,
While his turbulent bosom swells.
The sky, though dark with n moments
frown.
Win tenderly from its hight look down
With n radiant smile divine.
The green to blue with It's magic skill
Twill change, and the stormy ocean still.
And the sun OF love VIII shine.
Pause thou, my heart and the lesson read:
When the darkness falls aud with jealous
speed
Tho mists OF doubts arise
Fret mott twill pass, and tiou wilt know
That the sun still shines with a fe rvent
glow
In loves u~nchanging skies.

The Rock Springs Independent seems
to take little stock in party politics and
has chosen a ticket of its own from those
nominated by the two parties. Its opin
ion is expressed at some length, but an
extract will suffice:
We have grave doubts as to whether
the election machinery known as the eau
Gus and the convention is a necessity in
this country. If the election Of good Off
GERS and the success OF honest principles
depend upon the triumph OF a political
party then they may be a necessity, but
no man not a political bigot would argue
Tor a moment that either political party
~monopolizes all the honesty there is Con
v%en,ions are run for the benefit of a party
or else too often in the interests of one or
two candidates, and some Of the nomina-
tons are made with n view of adding
strength to that party or candidate rather
than in the interests of the public at
large or to secure good men for Office. II
candidates were to announce themselves
publicly without the intervention of a
convention we believe the result Of an
election would more truly represent the
choice Of the public.

TERRITORIAL OPINION.

The Lusk Ucrnh takes a very fair view
of things considering the urgency OF the
community it represents, to which wants
a Democratic legislature would certainly
attend
To give the devil bis due, the HeroM
is willing to say that CHEYENNE parties
are not MS much to blame for our lack OF
a jail as we, the citizens of Laisk, are,
There is little doubt that if we put up a
Jail al a reasonable expense the bill would
be allowed by the commissioners. Steps
are now being made to do so. While We
are undoubtedly greatly neglected, we
must remember that the people of Chey-
enne are busy with their own affairs, and
if we make no efforts for ourselves, they
certainly cannot be expected to do much
for us. Tho great difficulty lies in our
being tied to a county, the seat of whose
government il situated at such an incon-
venicnt distance. Our interests in many
respects are not in unison with those Of
our county seat. We want this county
divided, and a county seat for tho northern
county at Lusk.

AFTER THE RAsCALS.

The palIn-itching ex-Alderman OF New
York City generally followed the example
set by the polygamists OF Utah and took
the underground route from the scene OF
their troubles, One oi these worthless. ex,
Alderman Miller, who suddenly bid
adieu to Manhattan Island when the in-
vestigation OF the bribery franchise case
commenced, was yesterday captured by
detectives at Palatka, Florida, and his
chum, ex-Alderman Dempsey, only es-
capped from the clutches OF the officers by
the skin OF his teeth, as it were, by seek =
ing an underground retreat.
The New York officers are entitled 10
much credit for the vigorous efforts put
forth to capture and bring to deserved
punishment these rascally officials, who
betrayed the confidence of the men
who elected them to Office and
sold themselves body, breeches and all
to grasping corporation BY the pun
ishment OF these bribe-taking carrion,
the political atmosphere of New York
will be purified to an appreciable extent.
and It is TO be hoped that the officers OF
the law will continue their good work
until the last rascal connected with the
vile scheme shall have been hunted
down and brought to bay.
