TIE platform adopted at the Republi-
can territorial convention yesterday is a
sort of a literary crazy quilt. 1t warmly
commends and endorses the Hon. Joseph
NJ. Carey but omits all reference to Har-
rison, the national standard bearer of
the party. 1t favors a tariff that will
give adequate and proper protection to
American labor and yet fails to endorse
the senate tariff bill. 1t d~enounces the
use of money in elections as practised by
the Democratic party, thus implying that
in the judgment of those who wrote this
wonderful political freak, that the use of
money in elections as practised by the
Republican party should not be censured.
Taken as a whole it is about the queerest
document we have lately had the pleasure
of seeing.

A FAIR PROPOSITION.

The appended communication, issued
yesterday, is self explanatory:
OFFICE OF TERRITORIAL DEMOCRATIC
CENTRAL COMMITTEE.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. g, 1888.
Republican Territorial Committee,
Cheyenne, NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.: We
have the honor to address you upon a
subject of vital interest to the people
the purity of the ballot.
Having the utmost faith 10 the SINGER
lty OF your purpose-as we trust you nave
in our purpose-to conduct an honest
political campaign, we solicit your hearty
co cooperation in the work of vigorously en-
forcing the election laws of Wyoming, and
preventing fraud and corruption in all its
forms.
We are constrained to believe that with
the two territorial committees pledged to
the task of detecting and furnishing in
fractions of the law, the ballot will be the
pure result of intellectual conviction and
expression, and not an exhibition, in any
part, of barter and sale.
We prefer no charges and desire to cast
no insidious ,aspersions. but we ~candidly
and earnestly propose united aud effectual
effort to save our ballot from faint.
To this end we would be pleased to
have your committee name a time and
place for a conference on the best means
of calculating tn purpose herein stated.
We have the LA + to remain, gentle
men, yours with RESPECT,

A ELAT

=
Young Louis Kirk looked extremely
pretty as chief usher. He was attired in
a black cutaway coat and gray trousers.
He smiled with engaging frequency.
Frederick S. Hebard, the Apollo Belvi-
dere OF kindergarten Republicanism,
looked charming. He was dressed in a
complete suit of black, relieved only by a
little blood red boutoniere fastened to the
lapel of his coat. He did the agreeable
with charming courtliness, although some
what preoccupied.
The absence of ladies from the plat
form was as conspicuous as the absence Of
ladies from the ticket.
Judge Brown, in his Introductory re-
marks, said he was not familiar with the
names on the Republican county ticket,
but had no doubt they would receive
cordial endorsement at the polls. The
silence which followed this statement was
as thick as the whiskers on some of Mr..
Morgan's anecdotes.
The coupling of Mr.. Clark's introduc.
ton with reference 20 the insane asylum
was peculiarly unhappy, but was quite
c%leverly turned on Judge Brown subse.
quently.
Mr.. q. D. Clark made several attempts
to tell why he was a Republican, and
when he finally concluded left the impress
sion that he was a Republican lust be-
cause" The most unfortunate thing
about Mr.. Clark's remarks was his haunt-
ing the bloody shirt. After all the pretty
things which the several speakers said
about the common sense Of the people of
Wyoming it is surprising that any intelli-
gent man should attempt to galvanize such
a ~superannuated fetish as the bloody shirt.
Wyoming is not good soil for such a bug
aboo to flourish in.
The Glee clubs first song had for a
refrain the words, Goodbye, Grover,
goodbye" AS the warblers were led
by that Rocky Mountain song bird, Jack
Meldrum, color was given to the report
that he had composed it at that period IN
his career as surveyor general of Wyom-
ing when Grover cut off his official
head.
When Secretary Morgan stated that no
ferty-seventh problem of Euclid or any
other abstruse or transcendental question
was involved in the present cam
paigh, a heavy load was lifted from
the minds of the audience. AL
though industrious efforts were made to
keep away from the people the fact that
the forth-seventh and several other prob
lens of Euclid we're insiduously working
;heir wal into the campaign many in the
audience had nevertheless heard of it. To
be publicly assured that there was no
truth in the story restored the confidence
of the people in the stability of the exist
lng form OF government and caused a sigh
Pot relief and gratitude TO go up from every
man, woman and child in the body of the
opera house.
Mr.. Morgan frankly acknowledged that
the Republican party had done some
things in the past which it should not
nave done, and freely confessed that
angelic wings were not in the habit OF
sprouung from Republican shoulders.
Check!

which will greet him on November 6.

IT is said that Judge Bergman and Joe
Fisher are practicing a duet to sing at the
next Republican demonstration. The
title of the song is not positively known.
but it is believed to be the one which
Billy Rice recently sang with such rap
turous applause. 1t begins in this wise:
Does Pootsy love Tootsy,
And Tootsy love Poots?
During the chorus these two gentle
men will hang a~fectlonately upon each
others neck and gurgie forth the Joy
which the one feels at having made the
acquaintance of the other.

S2SO,OO0 from ST. Clair county The county
court refused to pay either principal or inter
/ est, claiming that the debt was fraudulent,
the bonds having been given for aid in the
construction of a railroad in 1870, which,
as matter Of fact, has never vet been con-
structed. Judgment was rendered against
the county. After long legal contest the
county court still refused to make a levy, and
the judges were held in contempt and have
since been confined in Jail 500
The petition for habeas corpus averred that
the order of the federal court could not he
complied with, hasmuch as the state law
prohibits such tax levy under heavy fine
and forfeiture of office Judge Krekel held
that the state has no power TO control the jul
risdicton of a federal court and refused an
application for appeal. II the county court
judges comply with the order of the federal
court they will be subject To criminal prose
cution in the state court, and refusal TO so
comply with the mandate of the federal tri-
bunal constitutes contempt They are now in
jail, and counsel will institute original habeas
corpus proceedings before the United States
supreme court for their release.
