GOVERNOR HILL AND THE NATIONAL

GUARD.
This campaign is remarkable for actions that
no party has ever before dared to commit, and
which come now from the party protesting to
be that of reform. The Democratic National
Committee, taking the cue from Mr.. Cleve-
lands personal violation Of the law against
assessments, has called even upon the Army
and Navy for political contributions. We
could give the names of officers who have just
received a written demand for money, and who
say it is the first that has come to them in
TWENTY-FIVE wears service. This is shameful
condition of things. Whatever else happens,
the Army and Navy should not be drawn into
political contests. The tendency of which this
assessment is the first sign might in time prove
a serious danger to the country.
Governor Hill, who is not likely to be be-
hind Mr. Cleveland in work Of this kind, is at
it too. We have information from many
sources that the Governors henchmen are eX-
ertng 4 great pressure upon the members OF
the National Guard to get the votes of the
organization. One regiment is reminded that
if it had not been for the Governor the appro-
priation for its armory could not have been
made Another regiment which wants an
armory is reminded that the Governors veto
can prevent an appropriation. No one who
knows anything Of the history Of legislation at
Albany in the last few years would be sur
pr.sed to be told that the threats on this sub
ject have been made boldly and without conceal
ment Many members of the Legislature whose
local bills have been at the mercy of the Gov
ernor and whose votes he has wanted for prof
Gets of his own, could tell some startling stories
of the frank offers that have been made to
them for a corrupt exchange of favors. He
has never given a better illustration of his UNI
scrupulous character than in his efforts to
dragoon the members of the National Guard
into voting for him. The National Guard as
an organization should be quite as careful to
hold aloof from politics as the Army or the
Navy. But it would be well for them all as
individual citizens to remember that they will
be better off with Honest Warner Miller in the
Governors chair than man of the character of
David b. Hill.

For some time it has been evident that the
Democrats had no chance of carrying General
Harrison's State by fair means. Their only
hope lay in big corruption fund. Their plans
in this direction are now being carried out.
A dispatch from Indianapolis contains the in
formation that the Democratic managers in
Indiana have some 100000 at their disposal
(half of which was forwarded by the National
Committee), and that they mean to put it where
it will do the most good for the National ticket.
The Republicans have anticipated such tactics
and are prepared for them BY vigilance and
diligence ON their part there can be an honest
election in Indiana. OF the result of such an
election there is no room for doubt.

1t is the saloons against the churches;
whiskey against morality the influences that
uplift against the influences that degrade. Such
is the contest for Governor in this State. The
issue is as sharply drawn as that on which the
National campaign is being wagcd. Many
clergymen in this city and in other parts of
the State have already spoken through THE
TRIBUNE, and still others speak this morning.
There is not one dissenting voice. All de-

as a calamity to be avered by every possible
means In a fair and square contest it is not

weigh the influences ranged on the side Of

SHOT AT A NJ n.
A Mexican Fires Three Shots at Mrs.
Jost Near RawIins.

Special Dispatch to THE LEADER.
RAwLINs, Wyo., June l5.-The wife
of John G. Jost, one Of the best known
known sheep raisers in this section, was
shot al three times to-day by a Mexican
in the employ of E. 7. Weber. The
fracas occurred at Jost's ranch ON Sepera.
ton creek, a few miles west of this place.
Strange to say, none of the bullets took
effect. 1t is claimed that Weber or
dered the Mexican to shoot.
The sympathy of the people is with
Jost, as he is an old timer.
The cause of the trouble is said to be
the attempt of Weber to force Jost to
abandon a very choice tract of land upon
which he settled many years ago.
Jost was held a bay for halt IN hour
by Frank Weber, and his children were
forced to leave the locks of their father.
Warrants have been sworn out for the
arrest of Weber and the Mexican, and
the sheriff is in pursuit. The Webbers
came to Carbon county from Denver some
time ago and are reported to be wealthy.

GOVERNOR MOONLIGHT BACK.
He Talks of the Convention ana Politics
Down East.

Governor Thomas Moonlight returned
from the East last evening. While alb
sent his excellency attended the national
Democratic convention at st. Louis and
visited his old home at Leavenworth,
Kas.
A LEADER representative called upon
the executive last evening and found him
in exuberant spirits over two things-the
denomination of President Cleveland and
his own return to the salubrious climate
of Wyoming. at is sickining warm
down East" said Governor Moonlight,
some of our home people call this even
ing warm, but [ never felt more comfort
able"
The governor, whose opportunities for
observation were of the best, says that
the great convention was a veritable love
feast. The denomination Of the Man of
Destiny was a f~orcgone conclusion.
Nearly every delegation had been in
structed for HIM, and opposition was not
anticipated by anyone.
There was no controversy IN the plat
form. The Democrats of every state and
territory in the Union had declared for
the tariff plank, and the declaration of
principles was literally made by the peo-
pie and for the people.
Those at a distance who carefully
watched the proceedings believed that
there was a sanguine struggle for the vice
presidency. Such was not the case, how
ever. No one else was in the race after
the Old Roman consented to accept the
nomination. Gray presented the rather
unusual aspect of being a prophet with
honor in his own country. He was really
a favorite son and a popular man, but a
rather unworthy antagonist Tor Thurman.
The eastern republicans are not nearly
so confident as they were four years ago,
and thousands OF them concede Cleye-
lands return to the white house by q
largely increased majority. The present
incumbent was first elected more because
the country desired a change. He will be
re. elected because he has given entire sat
isfaction to all.
While in st. LOUIS the governor was
quartered in the same house with Dele
gates Dixon and Kabis and met them
often. The city was terribly crowded and
seats in the capacious convention hall were
| difficult to obtain.
The Colorado braves cut quite a wide
swath in the gathering of clans. Tom
Patterson 5 speech was pronounced a great
effort and the silver gavel was voted a
beauty by all corners.
Daniel Dougherty's speech nominating
Cleveland was received with thunders OF
applause and quiet was not restored for
fully half an hour after he mentioned the
name entwined with victory"
Governor Moonlight now sports a Cleve-
land hat and is more enthusiastic for the
big chief than ever before. He says that
the Republican majority in Kansas this
year will be unprecedentedly small.
