The convention opened with an incident
that viii have ala important bearing on the
impending campaign. Water r. Stoll. the
attorney and young leader. resigned the
craftsmanship of the state central commit
tee, and will scarcely leave his tent this
fall. He viii talre with MIN nearly all the
moneyed men OF the party and leave the
common herd and the new managers to
carry on the controversy. Stoll made a
talk Of an hour and held the undivided at
tention Of his audience and was frequently
applauded. He
SPOKE WITH INTENsE EARNEsTNEss
and was concise in his expression OF ac-
cepting the fact that the new Democracy
would take into camp and follow the coun-
sci Of the rustler element He pointed out
the error Of such q course. He first said
his own great sin was acting as attorney
for some OF the famous johnson county raid
ers. Then he argued that an alliance with
a lawless element could not have victory as
its outcome. He said that the armed in
vasion ought to be condemned. but that the
nlcn who conducted il were nos the only
persons who had violated the statutes in
the state His idea was that the Democ-
racy should declare itself on nationallssues
and the state administration OF the Repub
leans.
What is called the rustler element con-
trolls the convention, but the managers for
Joe Hurt, their gubernatorial candidate,
are afraid that Stoll's speech hurt the
chances OF their man.
Kabis, tie Cheyenne man, claims to have
the votes, but is trembling over the men
ton Of II. a. Colleen. e neutral man OF the
north.
One delegate in this convention repre-
sents two counties, and has eleven votes.
He is even more popular than four hand
some and dashing women who are dele
gates. Al proposition to be submitted to
the convention wiz involve the condemna-
tion of Cleveland's declaration for free
coinage and presidential electors to be in
dependent.
