ENTIRELY WRONG.

The last issue OF the Douglas Budget
contains the following: THE square
back down of the democratic state CEN
trail committee, with reference to its meet
ing held Monday last, is really funny.
The call az published stated that the com
mittee wonld meet for the purpose of
nominating six delegates to the national
democratic convention. Three days be-
fore the date set for the meeting the
bosses changed their mind and THE
LEADER corrected TIE impression"
which prevailed az to the object of the
meeting by stating that the committee
would meet for the purpose of deciding
upon a date for the state convention
There never WAS at any time any in
tention on the part OF the committee to
do otherwise than to meet to name a
time and nlace for holding a state con.
v%ention to elect delegates to the Chicago
convention. The irst intimation that a
contrary impression prevailed anywhere
reached Cheyenne but a short time before
the committe was 10 meet and this i'm
preston was at once corrected through
THE LEADER on the authority of Chair
nan Hunter.
We arc inclined to believe hat the
Budget is disposed to wilfulIy pergert the

BELIEVES IN YOUNG HICKORY.


Senator Colquitt of Georgia was a few
days since interviewed upon the absorbing
topic Of the democratic situation in New
York. When asked what was his view
of the attacks upon Hill he replied il
these words: The republicans attack
Senator Hill because they are afraid Of
him. They fear that if he should bt
elected president he would strengthen and
establish the supremacy of the democratic
party in the Union as they say he has
done in New York. They dread it more
than they do an attack of la grippe or the
recent invasion OF the typhus. 1t is nat,
ural tbat republicans should nssail him
f~ercelS; they have reason to do so, but 1t
is amazing that democrats can find reason
to Join in the assault. Men with great
force of character are always bitterly
attacked. Andrew jackson, who i'm
pressed himself upon the country as no
other man has done. was fought as bit
terly as Hill. Il was because he stood by
his friends and fought for them. That Is
the way Hill is doing, and it is the manly
course. II he should become president of
the United States he would impress on
the county democratic measures and a
policy which will establish them in the
confidence and support of the people"
When asked if he thought sufficient
notice had been given of the holding Of
the convention he said: There vas
four weeks notice; yes, four years no
tice OF the contest between Hill and
Cleveland There was not an opponent
of Hill 10 New FORK who was debarred
by reason Of the time Of the convention
from his right aud opportunity to vote.
No convention was ever more generally
advertised, aud the supporters OF other
candidates than Hill had time to get to-
pcther and carry the ~election il they had
the msi lrity If they did not rave the
majority there wa' no reason To complain.
How long docs it take the people of
New York to decide which they wanted?
Is not Gne month enough The question
i. submitted to the primaries and the vote
has been the largest FIR years. What
room is there then to talk OF a snap con-
ventiOn? The difference is the difference
between holding it on TUESDAY or on
Thurs Law, and Mr. Hills opponents
might as well say: We want the con-
v%ention on Thursday. Don't hold it on
Tuesday. If you do. il isn't isir.' Mr..
Hill did not appoint one OF the executive
committee that issued the call. They
were unanimous on the date. 1t Is SAID
that they carried out MIR. Hills wishes.
They were appoiptel by the New York
state convention of several hundred dele
yates, representing every county in the
state and if Mr. Hill has power to control
men that wey to impress himself on a
convention 20 that his will is their will,
then he is the man We want to lead our
forces TO victory"
THIS sums up the matter in brisk but
appropriate language.
