and Locality.

Held Yesterday.
Good Work Of Active, Alert and
Honest Delegates.


county Democratic convention at the
court house to the stupid gathering of
Republicans the day before. The Demo-
cratic meeting was a hummer from OPEN
ing to finish. There was a full attendance
of delegates and crowds OF spectator,
including many ladies were present.
There was no friction. The pervading
idea was to put up a clean. strong ticket
and the belief is that the list of candi-
dates is a winning one. Every class, To-
cality and element has its full share of
representation. The delegates are proud
Of their work and the party is delighted
with the ticket.
John l.. Murray, chairman of the
county central committee, called the con-
v%ention to order. and Secretary Meyer
read the call.
2. Cad Bryan, on Mr.. Reeds motion.
was made temporary chairman and Ed.
Lawler. secretary. On ASSUMING the
chair Col. Bryan made q brief, stirring
address, which put the delegates in good
humor and created considerable enthus-
iasm. These committees were appointed:
Credeutials-T. R. Reed. A. G. Camp
bell. j. ]. Haupho6, A. O. Snyder. A
W. Haygood.
Permanent orgsnizatiou-L. w. War
laumont, E. s. Johnston. John r. Car
roll, John hunton. T. B. Hicks.
This latter committee recommended A.
U. Campbell for chairman, Walter L.
Larsh secretary, w. A. Richards. assist
ant, and an order of proceedings which was
followed. and the report was adopted.
Mr.. Campbell thanked the convention
for the honor conferred upon him. The
work at hand was importast. The Demo
cratic party stands opposed to bossism
and it advocates an economical admins
tration of public affairs. With oandi-
dates whose names guarantee these prin-
ciples, no man need blush for his De-
mocracy or for the Democratic party.
Democracy mean free speech and free
dom from the odicus system Of bossism
which allows a few men to dictate nonin-
atoms of candidates all over the state.
In order to subsist the state govern
must be honestly and economically con.
Quoted The people have been laboring
under unjust taxation and if Repubhoau
control is continued there is but little hope
Of the future.
About the last words OF Hon. W. W.
Corlett were: If the present rule is
kept up it will bankrupt every CITIZEN of
Wyoming"
In national politics the Democracy can
point with pride to economy and honesty
in It's administration of public affairs. In
in 1878 the Democratic house OF repre-
sentatives, under the leadership of Saml.
j.. Randall, saved the nation $50. 900, 600.
When Grover Cleveland retired from the
presidency be left in the national treasury
a surplus of over 800. 600, 600.
With but two years of national Repub-
Gcan rule this surplus has been wiped on
and a probable deficit stares the admins
tration in the face. When you recite
these facts, as Gen. Palmer of Illinois
say. THE Republican leaders answer by
calling on the band to strike up March
ing Through Georgia"
Put up candidates today who will be be-
fore the people guarantees of honesty and
economy in our government and the ring
ticket will 60 down before them never to
rise again.
