A GRAND DEMONSTRATION.

at the opera house. The Union Pacific
band, with twenty uniformed musicians,
led the line OF light about the principal
streets, starting from the Seventeenth
street headquarters of the Laramie Coun-
ty Democratic club. Three hundred
torch-bearery marched and cheered and
were aDplauded all along the brilliant
journey.
One of the biggest audiences the opera
house ever contained assembled and for
more than three hours was held almost
spell bound by the matchless eloquence of
Nellis E. Corthel, tho young Democratic
leader of Albany county. and Chas. S.
Thomas, the famous Colorado orator and
the powerful advocate of tariff reform.
The stage was dressed in American
flags and frinSed with potted plants.
Seated there were W, L. Kuykendall.
Chas. s. Thomas, Nellls E. Corthell.
Geo. I. Beck. f ]. Stanton, Luke
Voorhees, and A. H. Reel.
MR.. ooRTHELL-
Judge Kuykendall presided, and in a
few well chosen words. presented Mr..
Corthell. The young statesman said he
proposed to briefly call attention to a va
riety of subjects which had been COM
mandIng the attention Of the, people of
Wyoming since the campaign opened.
Some great Republican editor with
vision broad as a inter box, has said that
the Democratic party represented
retrogression and the Republican
horde its antithesis, that the Demo
cratic party in our material af-
fairs was a brake aud the Republicans
the motive power. The speaker said this
thing was a chip on his shoulder. This
remarkable uiterance had been echoed
across the broad state by the Republican
repeaters and had been iterated aud reit-
Grated until its fathers began to believe
it. A comparison of the platforms adopted
by conventions of the two great parties
would despel at once and most effectually
any wild and foundationless notion of this
sort.
The first plank Of the Republican plat
form, with a patronizing air worthy an
emperor endorsed the admission of Wyo-
ming into the union. There was no con
fession of faith or declaration of principle
in this. The fourth paragraph OF the plat
form felicitates the people on the liberal
donations of land made the state and adds
a demand that the money derived from
/ IL
their sale be applied only to the purposes
Tor which the lands were given. Con
gress U the wyoming constitution anti
cipated the Gop in this direction and the
plank gave no promise. Republicans in
their platform cried aloud for rigid econ
omy, out they never keep pledges OF this
sort outside convention hall they for
get all about economy. In platform the
opposition declares uncompromisingly for
tne american system OF protection. This
