can effort was made at tie
d. Chicago Convention to secure
harmony OF action among the dele
cations from the West, which un-
fortunately failed. 1t was then
predicted toy many leading citizens

administration of the Federal laws
IN the ignored section that such
failure weuld be disastrous. The
result was not unantlcipa ted i.
Want of knowledge of the situation
and of the peculiar administration
OF the Land Department on the
J part OF tue President and his AL
visers inducsd them to allow
/ Stocksiager 10 remain Commission
cr OF the Land Office for about
! four months under Republican
admin <tration. No one can doubt

earnest, patriotic man, and that he
Is as Anxious that tie law shall be
as faithfully executed in the West
as IL the East, yet it will not be
suggested that it would have been
poss bic for him to have retained
an officer in an executive depart
meat in Washington who had
injured the East as Mr.. stockslager
has injured the West. Other
illustrations might be given, which
are familiar to the people of the
West, but the retention OF Stock

81 do not wish to be understood as
lntimatIng that the action OF the
Chicago Convention and its nomi-
nees was not entirely satisfactory to
our section; on the contrary, they
received the unqualified approval
of the Republicans OF every State
and Territory West of The Missouri
river, as shown by their unptece-
denied majorities for the party.
There can hardly be a doubt that if
the West had been Il unit the re-
suit OF the deliberations OF the con-
vention would have been the same,
but the consequences to the people
of the West would undoubtedly
have been different. Their power
would have been known and re-
spected. No enemy to their inter-
ests would have been retained in
office or appointed to office during
the continuance in power OF the |
President of their choice.
II am not fHding fault with the
President. He cannot know our
section 50 'ong as We fail to unite
and make ourselves known in the
same manner that every other part
Of the United States finds It neces-
sary to do.
The interests of the West are
aoovo all party considerations. The
Democratic party, by their want
Of union and exhibition of poser

Mr.. Cleveland, brought disaster to
Dur section. No person, either
Democrat or Republican, who i la
