The following resolutions we're then
unanimously adopted:
The Democratic party of the city OF
Cheyenne in convention assembled enters
its most solemn protest against the loose
ness and extravagance shown in tho ad-
ministration of municipal affairs by the
Republican party. 1t protests against
the assumption of way worn party hacks
that to themselves and not to the people
do public officers owe their first duty. It
protests against the shamelessness shown
in the appointment of municipal officials,
and their high handed and contemptious
disregard of public opinion; against the
domination of cliques actuated by purely
selfish motives of personal agrandizement
as opposed to the interests of the taxpay-
ers and community. We believe the city
should realize an adequate return for
every dollar of public money spent that
the public funds should not be used for
pampering a set of professional politi-
clans and chronic oficeholders. We ar
raign the Republican party Of Cheyenne:
On its extravaganza. as.shown By the n
al report ofthe city clerk in alleged expend-
itures on streets aud alleys and in other
public improvements for which the people
have received no commensurate return.
On the round OF looseness IN admins

represent the decent sentiment of this
community. On the city administration
