need be ashamed, and there are many
things of which himself and his friends
may reasonably be proud. Past expert
ence has familiarized him with the duties
of the SHERIFF. office.
w. S. Weaver is our candidate for
county clerk, He is one of the young and
most energetic members of the party, and
the man who finds much grass growing
under his feet in the next thirty days will
be forced to use a microscope. AS an
expert bookkeeper and accountant, whose
executive ability has been shown in the
shrewd management of private interests,
he will bring to the Office qualifications
that are peculiarly requisite.
There is no man in this community
who is a better man among men than A.
H. Hord, the candidate for probate judge
and county treasurer. There are no frills
whatever about Mr.. Hord, but during his
residence here he has been recognized as
a prudent man of affairs, who always at
tended to his own business and cheerfullY
lent a willing hand to a friend. He served
tor six years as ounty clerk in a big OHIO
county before coming here. The Demo-
cratic party to a man will rally to his
standard and contribute everything in
their power to break a ring rule which
has grown exceedingly irksome to people
regardless of politics.
For county commissioners the Demo
Gratis present a ticket of which they are
more than proud. 1t is headed by Tim
Dyer, who has heretofore faithfully served
the people in the same position, George
A. Draper, who has had an extended ex
p~erience in public affairs, and Isaac
G%reentree, an old time citizen who has
labored faithfully for many wears without
any expectation OF reward. These three
gentlemen are known to every voter in
the county. Their personal characters,
their business integrity and personal worth
require no commentator for everybody
has for years appreciated them.
Maj. H. Glafcke is the candidate for
of practical county affairs qualities him to
fill to public satisfaction h eimportant office
to which he aspires. The administration of
the assessors Office during the past two
years has not commended itself to public
approval and the people have been Just
aching for an opportunity to secure a
change.
For road supervisor G. c. Charlton is
named. What Charlton doesn't know
about the topography of this county or
its roads has very likely escaped the notice
of every other person in this community.
He is a rustling, energetic man who has
lived in Wyoming since the days when
Laramie peak was a hole in the ground
and the old timers will flock to his sup
port like flies about a molasses barrel.
The regularity with which John T.
Chafin is nominated and elected for the
Office ofcoroner augurs well for the pub
lie appreciation Of his ability to caucus
with cadavers. He will get his usual
silent majority, as it we're.
Frank w. Jones is the name of a very
promising young man who lives at Egg
bert and was unanimously rendered the
nomination for surveyor yesterday. He
has had fifteen years experience in the
surveying business. He proved his
faith in the country a few years ago
by settling on a section of land
which is now the Egbert townsite, and
they do say his persuasive eloquence has
attracted more settlers into the eastern
part of the territory than a handy man
can shake a stick at. Mr.. Jones wears
well and will run like a scared wolf.
The Democrats not only preach but
practice. They yesterday unanimously
rendered the nomination of county super
intendent of schools to a lady, Mrs. j..
A. Brec&ons, who is well equipped to
fulfil all the duties which the office
will impose. In nearly every county
in this territory this Office is accept
ably filled by a lady and it is to be hoped
Laramie county will no longer prove an
exception to the rule.
j. Fl. Goddard and Judge w. p. Car.
oil are candidates for justices of the peace
in this precint. Both are well known
and well qualified to fill the bill. The
recognition of Judge Carroll as an old
time citizen was a peculiarly graceful act
of the convention.
Capt. +. S. Smith and P. j. Burns are
candidates for constables and the voters
might go farther and fare worse in making
a selection.
