Carey,s Lusk Concourse.


Judge Carey addressed the people of
Manville Wednesday afternoon and in the
evening a rousing Republican rally was
held at Lusk. which was addressed by
Maj. Wolcott, Judge Carey and others.
The meeting concluded with three rousing
cheers for Judge Carey and the whole Re-
publican ticket. Converse county will go
strongly Republican this fall"
The above is from a Lusk correspondent
to the Cheyenne San. 1t was probably
written by the Republican king bee who
proposed the three cheers. The laugha-
Bile part of it is that the only persons
present who Joined in the cheer were two
red-headed kids about 9 years old. Con-
verse county will go Demo cratic.

Wednesdays Omaha Republican says ::
Commencing to-day the Union Pacific
overland passenger trains will leave the
transfer and Omaha promptly on time.
There will be no more waiting to make
connections with Iowa roads from the
east. This indicates that the future will
witness some funny business. About the
first time a Chicago train comes in thirty
minutes late, and tie passengers going
further west find themselves left, to re-
main here a whole day, there will be
some healthy bowling"
This new arrangement will insure the
arrival OF west bound Union Pacific trains
at this point on time hereafter, or rather
so long as the agreement continues in
force.

Addresses by Good Speakers at
Keefe's Hall.

two best bands in the territory will be
formed at the Eddy street headquarters

town and halt at Keefe hall, when the
closing addresses of the campaign will be
made. Here the people will hear the
whole truth from such men as Walter r.

selected, but all of the citizens will have
an opportunity to witness the grand pa
rade.

ments will be made for the accommoda-
ton of the ladies, who are earnestly in

ocrat who desires to carry a lamp in this
evenings parade.
Music by the 18th infantry and city
bands will be a feature of the evenings
turnout. The former musical organiza-
ton mas a national reputation, while the
city band is second to no local organiza-
ton in this section.

m~eritorious campaign vocal organization
appearing here this year, will be on
hand with a selection of new topical
songs.

closing rally. Victory is certain.

dicted success for her. and recommended
her to Samson, the teacher of Rachel.

Great MIn,''

The following song was sung with
wonderful eclat by Mr.. H. W. Henderson
a, the Democratic meeting Saturday
night:
1 IL sing yez a fine ouid song made by Il fine
ould Paddy's pate,
OF the Republican politicians who for
cheek they can't be bate,
I'll sing of the Young Minis club who thought
they had good stomachs and Judge
Bergman they would ate,
For shure wasn't he their beef and pork chops,
too, for didn't he boss thin livery wan, and
himsilf did nominate,
Yet this bad, bould politician was one of
the rale ould stock.
There's anither mon, to mintion him, his
-Ra#e+ is Mtsther Carey
He's not a djuge, nor statesme-on, nor ora-to-
ri-or, but he's jist fwat the ladies calls a
lovely little fairy,
He makes great spaches, Qn his moind) on the
is-shoes av the day, to say nathin' av the
night, that I'D phase onything that cud
hear, not to mintion the babies of the
dairy,
Yer ought TO hear his illoquence roar, and git
on to his jokes ould and hairy,
For this blating politician, is not wan of the
rale ould stock.
Ye'z all hev heerd o. Colossus of Rhodes,
who shpanned the say,
And Julius Sayser, and Alexander the Great,
and Napoleon Bonypart and, av coorse,
Jidge Ca'riay',
But Misther Carey bates thin all, for he's the
major-i-te, in the congress av the United
Sthates, and himsilf makes all our laws
the other blokes are in his way,
Ye'z hev ownly to ask him fwat ye'z wants,
and hen introduce the bill and pass it in a
day
For this great Western Congressman is wan of
the brand new stock.
He's made Wyoming a. sthate in a twinkllng
av an eye,
Av he cud, for he wants to be a senator, fore
he's ready for to die,
One hundred thousand dollars extra for this
we'd hev to pay-O, murther, but wudn't
taxes pile up high.
We'd pay the fiddler while he danced, wild his
senatorial dignity!
For this fine cute politician is brandin' more
new stock.

Chandler to the Front.

w. D.. chandler, formerly of Camp Car
lin, is now with the Associated Press of
New York, having been promoted to the
position of agent for Western Associated
Press, which covers the early morning
news reports sent to papers in this section
and the coast. 1t is a responsible posi-
ton, but Chan" can more than hold it
down. In closing a personal letter to a
friend in this city he says: Il am a red
hot Republican, but l believe it looks
very much as though Cleveland would
carry New York state. The Sackville-
West letter seems to have helped the
Democratic party rather than hurt it."

He Was DIgnifed This Time.

IJUHuUlNO IWIIIOIsI
Those who were led to think by certain
Democratic papers that Judge Carey
would place himself on a level with street
corner politicians will certainly now know
and feel that such cannot be the case. He
had even been represented as having
called the governor a tramp from Kan
sas." The governors friends here were
highly gratifed to hear Judge CareY's
dignitied reference 70 that matter.

Would be lust the figure to make happiness

But his income when It doubles
Only multiplies his troubles,
For his outgo then increasing makes his both

Spending money ere he makes It,
