THE RATIFICATION.
Republican Rally at the Opera House
Last Evening.
Many Remarks by Orators. Speak
ers and Takers.
Mr.. Carey Endorsed, but the County
Ticket Overlooked.
A Full Report of a Fine Evenings
Sport.

The attendance at the Republican ratif-
cation at the opera house last evening was
very good, though the audience gath
cred rather slowly. The parquet and
dress circle were well filed and there were
a few persons in the gallery. The city
band paraded the streets to attract a crowd
and succeeded very well. The number of
ladies present was fair, but not so large as
had been anticipated.
Judge j. w. Lacey called the assembly
to order shortly before 9 o'clock and intro
duced Judge NJ. G. Brown of Laramie,
who presided during the evening.
On assuming the chair Judge Brown
remarked at length. After lauding Judge
Carey to the skies he said that he
would not mention the names of the can
didates on the Laramie county ticket for
the reason that he had not learned them.
He was difident to officiating as chair
man, but did it with pleasure. He was
always pleased to meet Republicans.
After repeating a portion of a speech
recently delivered at Laramie, Judge
Brown introduced c. d. Clark of Ulnta.
@. D. CLARK.
Mr.. Clark said that the citizens of his
district read the bible and voted the
straight Republican ticket, and then de-
livered a very pretty eulogy to Judge
Carey. The speaker said hat he was not
a Republican because he followed in the
footsteps of his father, nor because he
was raised in a hotbed of Republicanism.
Mr.. Clark reverted to secession, said the
people were sick of the chief executive,
but failed to give any good reason why he
was a Republican.
SINGING.
A glee club sang Good Bye, Grover,
Good Bye" at this iuncture. The sing
were: r. Butler, G. E. Golden, G. E.
Carpenter, j. H. Medium, Ed. f. Stable,
S. A. Bristol, f. A. Dana, Archie Hale,
W. A. Wyman, D. R. Cowhick; %organist,
Albert H. Peabody.
The song was senseless and silly dog
gerel, but was one of the best things of
the evening.
E. S. y. MORGAN.
Ex-Secretary Morgan was next led to
the altar. Mr.. Morgan is unable to con-
ceive how the people can be deceived by a
political organization. There is nothing
abstruse or transcendental about the is
sues now before the voters. He wouldn t
advocate boiling, but thinks all should
vote the Republican ticket. TIE claims
Of parties lie in their deeds. 81 intend to
do as | please in politics." said Mr., Nor
gan in a burst of confidence, but thank
God [ have thus far affiliated with the
Republican party" He now said twice,
once before, that there were now no abb
struse problems before the American peo-
pie to night" MIR. Morgan tackled the
tariff, and foundored around in great
shape. 1t pleased the audience hugely
to learn that pig iron, instead of being
quoted at S18 Der ton was as a matter of
fact quoted at only SIS. After flirting
with the tariff question the speaker dallied
with the surplus. He made some very
funny propositions on the subject, sug-
costing that bonds which cannot be pur-
chased be bought at once. Mr.. Morgan
then officially closed his ''desultory re.
marks" urged all to lay aside party afili-
atoms, vote the Republican ticket and
finally ceased. Before he really closed,
however, Mr.. Morgan told a disjointed
story about the letter that never came.
1t was written to him. it was, and he
loaned it to a man, he did. 1t was about
the iron business, it was. 1t was penned
by a United States senator who is a mem
Der of a commission that wants to buy
iron in Wyoming to build a navy on the
Pacific, it does. That letter contained
six pages, it did, all about the Wyoming
iron business, it was too, and a senator
don't write a six page letter every day, he
don't. Mr.. Morgan eventually did be-
come weary and quit.
City Editor King, of the Sun, timed
Mr.. Morgan with a split second watch.
He did one heat in 4:25, another in 5:l2,
and a third in $40 These are average
heats.
