The Marchers Cheered All Along
the Line.
House Packed to Hear the
Speakers.
Some Sensible Talking on Issues of
the Day.
The Rally.

In a short time every seat was occupied
and several hundred spectators were
standing. 1t was especially gratifying 70
note hat more than half the occupants
Of the parquet and dress circle were
ladies', while a number of the gentler sex
were accommodated in the gallery. The
city band was well down in front, and
rendered several patriotic airs.
The stage was handsomely set for the
occasion. The American colors we're
everywhere, and pictures of Cleveland
and Thurman were conspicuously dis
played. On the stage were seated Col.
Luke Murrin, Col. P. Cad Bryan, Hon.
Gibson Clark, Hon. j. G. Baird, DR.. j.
Y. Cowhick, Hon. A. "a. Reel.
The Glee club, included Prof. Geo. F.
Inman, H. w. Henderson, E. w. Whit
comb, Mr.. Skolds and Archie Hale.
THE CHAIRMAN.
In a few well chosen remarks Hon. A.
H. Reel presented DR.. j. Y. Cowhick,
who acted as presiding officer. In assum-
ing the chair DR.. Cowhick eulog;zed
President Cleveland and touched a re-
sponsive chord IN the hearts of his hear
ers, for the name of the man of destiny
greeted with cheers.
COL LUKE MURRIN.
C~heyenne's pioneer from the greenest
of the green isles was the first speaker and
spoke in a very happy strain. This is
my first appearance on the STAGE" said
the colonel, as he drew his bandana from
his pocket. The banner and the remark
were both cheered. Il had a speech
prepared for this OCCASION" continued the
orator. 81 had submitted it to a friend
who had pronounced it perfect. l lost
this speech, but think that it was found,
as l heard E. S. N. Morgan deliver it
from this stage three weeks ago."
The audience seemed to agree with the
speaker when he remarked that the Dem
ocratic ticket of this county was one that
commended itself to Republicans and In
dependents as well as Democrats. And
Perry Organ-why, who could choose
against him with the blatant Judge Carey
as his opponent.
Col. Murrin was a member of the re-
ception committee which greeted Judge
Carey upon the %latter's advent into Wyo-
ming as a carpet Dagger. Since this cam
paign commenced thousands of Judge
Carey's speeches had been scattered
broadcast throughout the territory. These
widely circulated addresses contained
downright untruths, perhaps not purely
malicious, but nevertheless untruths.
Then, Carey is the great | am He tries
to convince the people that in the event
of his defeat the grass will cease to grow
and the speckled trout become red.
Carey, the chronic oficeseeker, was a good
neighbor but an INSCRIPTIONS politician.
At Fort Steele a man had remarked that
he was becoming weary of being bienui-
ally i%mportuned to vote for Carey
The war cry was becoming m%onotonous.
In conclusion Col. Murrin urged all to
vote for Perry Organ, the honest, truth
full nan of the people.
COL. P. A BRYAN.
The next speaker was an ardent Demo
crat from Iowa, born in Ohio. In his
adopted state he organized the First Iowa
cavalry and led his regiment through the
war. Col. Bryan has been in the arena
for a generation and has the political his
tory of the country at his finger tips. AS
to home rule for the territ cries, the
speaker simply recited the record of the
Republican party for the past quarter of
a century.
Col. Bryan's dissertation on the tariff
was a gem. In clear and concise SEN
fences he unraveled the knot Of the ques-
ton. He chose a biblical text, thusly:
TO him that hath shall be given, and
from him that hath not shall be taken
away" This, to him, was a statement of
the views of the Republican party on the
subject. The tariff enriched the wealthy
and ~pauperized the poor. The million
aire was a curiosity before high protection
was inaugurated, but now there are hun
dreds of them, and the tariff is rapidly
increasing the number, while it grinds the
the workingman to earth, forcing him to
pay double price for the necessaries of life.
The word tariff has a remarkably slgnif-
cant origin. 1t was the name of a Sara.
cen robber who fortified himself at the
Straits of Gibralter and levied toll from
from passing ships. The party that to-
day insisted upon a useless tax was sim
ply a robber Of the people. Col. Bryan
paid a tribute to the honesty and ability
of the territorial Democratic standard
bearer and was enthusiastically applauded.
Col. Bryan has a fine stage presence and
