UNITED STATES SENATOR'S.
The question of who shall be the first
United States senators from Wyoming is
already receiving some attention, and
candidates are beginning to bob no with =
good deal of unanimity. Three counties
only have been heard from so far, but
they have developed so well that when
.h5 complete returns are in we may ex-
pect to see a delegation Of candidates as
large as the legislative body which viii
pass upon their fates.
Albany county, so far, leads the state
in the number OF candidates. First 10
tho list Is Judge NJ. c. Brown, late pTesi
dent of the constitutional convention By
tie grace OF Democratic votes Judge
Brown is = pioneer citizen and was
openly 10 the field during the election.
Col Stephen W. Downey is also credited
with senatorial aspirations. and as he has
lately increased the size OF his ad. in the
Sentinel a particular color is Lent to the
Col. Downey was in the late
war. At one time be was delegate in
congress from Wyoming aud immortalized
himself by tho publication of a classical
poem in the Congregational Record under
the guise of a speech. He has been sew
eral times a member Of the territorial
legislature, was speaker Of the last house
and was at tone time prominently mentioned
in connection with gubernatcrisl honors.
John W. Hoyt is one Of the before and
after candidates. He was IN the race
before the election and he is still IN the
ring. Mr.. Hoyt is president of the state
university, carries more titles than any
other man west Of the Missouri river and
is a public talker wko never tires. He
same here from Wisconsin, having BEEN
appointed governor by President Hayes.
Mr.. Hoyt has recently INDUCED a select
portion OF the public with n pamphlet
embalminR the principal events Of his lite
and public services. DR.. Finfrock is
also 10 the race. Finfrock was mayor of
Laramie and has just beea elected county
commissioner OF Albany county. He is a
practicing physician and owns a drug
store. II senatorial lightning should
strike Albany county. a man who cannot
be overlooked is Edward I~verson, the
banker. who though not a politician Is a
very influential man.
The only candidate yet heard from in
Converse county is De Forest Richards,
president.of the Frat National bank at
Douglas and largely interested in the
material development of that section.
Mr.. Richards was defeated in the race
for state senator. Neither Col. Billy
Irvine nor Mai Wolcott have yet been
heard from.
All of these men arc applicants for the
remaining one OF the two senatorships.
Carey is given one place by common con
sent Of the Republicans, and Secretary
Medium is a hot applicant for the second
place, and he doesn't seem to care who
knows it. Some PEOPLE may be satisfied
with bread, put nothing short Of pie sat
isles the intellectual and ~gastronomic
cravings of Mr.. Medium. Those who
imagine that the tunetul secretary will be
lost 10 the shuttle count without their
host, for Medium has already fled his
application. There are at least three
other gentlemen mentioned in this same
connection. One is John X. Jeffrey,
who was at one time mentioned for tho
governorship. Jeffrey Is n very present
able gentleman, perhaps not quite portly
enough for a typical senator, but with a
linge of gray in his hair aud mustache
which would make him a favorite on first
sight SO far as physical attributes go, !
AndrsE Gnmhfs, president 81 the Stock
GF1i,ers' National bank, would make a
United States senator. Massive
in size, yet proportional as true as a Gre
clan model, with thews Of steel and a ge-
NAL swell in the proper part OF his anat
omy-no one, not even Judge Carey,
whose manly beauty aud physical proper
tons we're apostroph;zed in such chaste
and elegant language by the editress OF
the Saratoga Tyre in the last number
OF her valuable household ~journal-not
even he, we say, can compare with the
elegance of department, the commanding
air aud unctio1s senatorial dignity Of A,
Gilchrist. In this same list we have
heard enumerated Edward Archibald
Slack, editor and proprietor OF the Chez
enne SuR. as a gentleman who has done
much for his party and who could fill a
