plished and amiable lady who will ill this

HANDSOME.
The convention did a mighty handsome
thing when it placed Judge w. p. Car
roll 10 the field as a candidate for Justice
of the peace for Cheyenne precinct. He
is paired with John II. Goddard, who has
had considerable experience in that line.
Though an out and out Republican ma
t%lonally, Mr.. Baird voiced the sentiment
of every person in the hall when he SAID
that the judges political faith in the past
would be overlooked on this occasion.
He was, the chairman continued, an at.
torney the peer Of h,any lawyers who
practiced at the bar of the first judicial
district. he was a man vino had long
merited recognition at the hands of the
Republican party of Laramie county, but
had been held back to give places to men
his interior in every way. Mr.. Baird's
eulogy of Judge Carroll was touching,
true, manly and timely. The Judge and
several others were visibly affected and
all quite agreed with the speaker. They
could see nothing wrong in nominating an
available veteran whose wounds tell of
his bravery, even if he was a Republican.
Judge Carroll responded briefly, heart
lily thanking the con rention and express
ing great surprise, as the honor was both
unsolicited and unexpected. On account
OF having made preparations for depart
ure from Cheyenne Mr.. Carroll did not
accept the nomination at this time, but
consented to make the race later in the
evening. Judge Carroll will be resident
Justice until January, 1891, at least. He
deserves the place, is entitled to it, and
will be elected by a large majority.

Capt. E. S. Smith and Patrick j.
Burns were nominated for constables by
