A SURE WINNER.

49, ShAOloC VIC WISE, bJdJfSL1dIllhG anu
patriotic administration of President
Cleveland; we endorse the nominees of
the Democratic national convention,
Grover Cleveland and Allen G. Thurman.
We believe it is unjust to tax one class
OF citizens for the benefit of another class;
that 1t Is unjust to wiring from the pro-
ducers OF the West in the shape of taxa
tlon upon the necess aries OF life their
hard earnings for the benefit of monop-
ollsts In the East; that it is unjust to tax
the people beyond the absolute needs of
the government wisely and economically
administered; that it is unjust to
levy war taxes In time of peace;
that 1t IS unjust to place the American
laborer in competition with the pauper
labor of Europe which is imported here
under contract. We therefore endorse
the platform of the national Democratic
party adopted in st. Louis in June, 1888.
We believe that Chinese immigration
should be positively prohibited and that
the Chinese should never be placed on an
equality with American citizens. We
therefore denounce the Republican nomi-
nee for president for doing all in his power
while in the senate of the United States
to remove restrictions On Chinese immi-
grafton and place the ballot in the hands
of the Chinese.
We denounce monopolies and trusts
and that system of taxation which pro-
duces them We therefore denounce the
existing tariff law with all its ~iniquities
and heartily approve of the Mills bill,
which In a measure promises to abate the
evils and relieve the people from the bur
dens OF unnecessary taxation, while pre-
venting the boarding of useless millions
of money in the national treasury.
We commend the land policy of the
present administration In having patent
ed, in the Cheyenne land district alone,
l4,067 acres more than the quantity
patented during the last corresponding
period of the Republican administration.
We endorse the policy of home rule in
the territories and urge upon the national
administration to carry out this principle,
which through a lack of harmony, has
been heretofore thwarted in this territory.
We congratulate the people of this
county upon the administration of Justice
as superintended by the county attorney
under the supervision of the county com
m~issioners, which has resulted in univer-
sal convictions, and the almost utter ex-
tlnction of crime within the county,
as is evidenced by the fact that
there is not now upon the criminal docket
OF the court a single homicide or at
tempted homicide case. We further con-
graduate the people Of the county that
this result has been produced with COM
mendable economy and we appeal to all
citizens who have the good of our county
at heart to condemn the Republican party
tor Its attempt to cast aspersions upon
our county by faIsly proclaiming that it
has been plunged needlessly into debt and
further proclaiming that the credit of the
same has been greatly weakened.

CONGRATULATIONS.
At the suggestion of Mr.. Hicks, Gen.
j. &. Thompson, who is perhaps the
most brilliant orator in the territory, ad-
dressed the meeting briefly. He congrat-
ulated the convention upon the spirit of
harmony which had ruled its wise deliber-
atoms, spoke glowingly of Mr.. Stolls
record and accomplishments, said the
nomination of Judge Carroll was a happy
inspiration, and the placing of a lady on
the ticket a ten-stroke. Gen. Thompson
was cheered to the echo and all we're sorry
when he ceased speaking.
THANKS
Votes of thanks were extended to Gen.
Thompson, Chairman Baird, Secretary
Glafcke aud the old central committee.
L OVER.
At ll:45 o'clock the convention ad-
iourned sine die.
