Monday morning by the cattielnen
owning stock in johnson and adjacent
counties TO enjoin the roundup pro-
posed by the Northern Wyoming

been authorized by the Live Stock COM
mission OF the State, which has by the
statutes sole jurisdiction in the prem

Even the most conservative men who
are acquainted with the situation in
johnson and surrounding counties ad-
NIT that there is every prospect of
trouble at the roundup. If a conflict
ensues, the outcome will be serious,
and may end in placing that part Of
the State under martial law. Such a
state OF affairs could come about only
after the courts and law officers could
not, in the opinion of the State officials,
properly protect life and property.

Washington Letter.


The president wisely leaves to others
all the worrying about the republican
presidential nomination. He finds more
than enough to do in transacting the
legitimate duties pertaining to the chief
magistracy of the greatest country in
the world. He would be more than hu-
man if he were not gratified by the
action Of republicans in various states in
instructing delegates to the Minneapolis
convention to support him for renomi-
nation, but he is doing nothing that
might by the widest stretch of the im-
agination be construed into seeking q
denomination.
All the talk about bis withdrawing is
the lveriest bosh. A man cannot with
draw from what he has not entered into.
The president has never said to any man
that he would accept the nomination
again, and his devotion to the princi-
Piles and welfare of the republican party
has been such that it is certain that he
will not allow his name to be presented
to the national convention, unless he is
convinced that the leaders OF the party
The Columbus journal., 1892-05-04

consider him 10 be the most available
candidate to lead the party to victory.
II it shall be plain after all the delegates
to the convention shall have been elect
ed that any considerable portion Of them
are opposed to his denomination, Mr..
Harrison will, predict, forbid the use
OF his name a. a candidate, and it would
in no sense be a withdrawal for him to
do so, as he is not by any action of his
own, further than by the faithful per-
formance Of his public duties, a candi-
date. a
The probable early holding Of an in
ternational monetary conference to con-
slider the silver question meets the ap-
proval Of congressman Of all shades of
political belief. except the ultra silver
men who believe that the United States
should take the lead by establishing alb
solute free coinage. The senate has
adopted resolution asking the presi-
dent for information concerning the
proposed conference.
Senator Hill may he losing ground az
fast as some of the newspapers say he is,
among democrats away from Washing
ton, but he is certainly not losing any
ground among the democrats of the
house. On the contrary, he has shown
that he is absolute ruler of the votes Of
1A0 of the democratic members of that
bc,!... :I,..i ina, only 80 of them dare to
vo;. against his villa number of them
lodged the vOte-evsn to sustain the
report Of the elections committee, a re-
port which was adopted by the votes of
democratic members of that committee.
A more outrageous case Of political theft
was never endorsed by any party in
congress than when the house, at the
dictation Of boss Hill, voted to retain
Mr.. Rockwell, of New York. in the seat |
to which its own committee had report
ed that Col. NOyes, was elected. And
what makes the case all the more pitia- |
ble for the democrats is that the result |
has been for weeks past bOastingly an
nounced by Hill and the Tammany con-
gressmen. Hills heelers" is the way
those 40 democrats are now referred to |
by the Cleveland democrats in congress. |
4 little breeze has been caused among |
tie Cleveland democrats by the per-
sonal announcement OF Senator Palmer |
that he intends making fight for the
Illinois delegation to the Chicago con-
and that he is a presidential
candidate. MOrrison's friends say that
this is breach of faith on the part OF
Palmer.
The house Chinese exclusion bill has
been the basis for some very interesting
debate in the senate. and there will be
more Of it before the bill is disposed of.
1t is probable that there will be some
radical changes made in the bill before
it passes the senate.

PaddOck's Pure-FOOd Bill.

There are numerous ways of turning

oil tho Platform.
ALBANY, N. V, April 3O.-When the
State republican convention was called
to order yesterday the delegates
found their work all laid out for them,
everything having been arranged by
the leaders. Chairman Brooktield, of
the State committee, called the con-
vention to order and introduced w. A.
Switzerland as temporary chairman.
A letter was read from Warner Miller
explaining his inability to be present
as delegute. c. A. Snyder was named
as his substitute.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
In the success of his administration
we recognize the consummate ability
of President Harrison and the wisdom
and the sagacity of his Cabinet and
especially of his chief Cabinet officer,
James &. Blaine, whose strong hold
upon the intimate relationship with
the management of public affairs have
been of lasting benefits to the Ameri-
can people.
We cordially indorse the vigorous
declaration of President Harrison made
in the city of Albany in favor of an
honest dollar. The people must con-
tinue to look to the Republican party
to maintain the good faith of the ma
tion in all matters of finance, pledged
as it is to keep any dollar bearing the
stamp of the United States at par with
gold, and to repel the assaults of the
reckless advocates of free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
The delegates-at-large are the big
four, Platt, Miller, Hiscock and Depew
The electors-at-large who were chosen
were Messrs- Sage and Seligman, both
responsible citizens.

occurred from the disease, and 1S6 new

deaths from cholera occurred in India
