and guiding hand in the convention
Much ofthe success of the convention Is
due to his intelligent and energetic la

adopt COVER rnmants of the people, by the

AGENT UrsHAw at the Cheyenne
agency Is alarmed over the possibility of
losing his scalp. Why doesn't the ad
ministration learn "a little gumption
about these matters. and send out bald
headed agents. Then all temptation
will be removed from the red man, and

the needs Of tho West.
TuE New y ork World complains that
the census enumerators have missed

The threat of q few of the gold men
that the attitude of the West upon the
silver question will he used against the
admission Of Idaho and Wyoming Is
reckless and unauthorized bluh The
republican party is not going to assume
so pctulant and unjust a position as
