CHEYENNE, WYo.. Sept 5, 1892
Senator Carey is very sanguine of republican
success in November. As Wyoming and the other
territories which were recently admitted into
the Union as states have never figured in a
presidential campaign, they will be watched
with the closest attention in the present cam
paign.
.'Do you think Wyoming can be safely counted
for Harrison in November was asked Of the
Senator by The STARS representative.
II have no doubt Of President Harrison carry
ing the state of Wyoming by large majority.
The republican party is united; there is no dis
affection in the party in the state. Wyoming
was admitted in July, 1890. All the issues in
volved in the election Of 1890 were thoroughly
discussed in the first campaign. The republi-
cans elected state officers at that election. and
had more than two-thirds of the legislature on
joint ballot. The first legislature was very pru-
dent so far as appropriations were concerned
and the state administration of affairs hae been
exceedingly good. The peoples money has not
been wasted and every promise that was made
has been fulfilled. President Harrison has
been very broad and liberal so far as the west
il concerned, and the people of Wyoming,
democrats as well republicans have a most
has been in strong contrast with the Cleveland
administration in dealing with land and other
questions affecting the west When the two
administrations are compared the people will
indorse the President.
"An the Rocky mountain states and territories
are, to considerable extent arid. twill require
manufacturing establishments to bring about
the greatest growth and prosperity Iron, oil,
coal, soda and precious minerals are abundant
Manufacturing establishments will flourish in
the state. At present the wool industry Of
Wyoming. Colorado and Idaho is very large
1t is profitable and is a popular business for in
vestments. The people will not vote to break
down this industry. Cleveland in his free
trade messages and the democratic House of
Representatives have both shown their hostility
to this industry"

ganized and equipped"
THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION.
"fes, and great attention is now being given
to fully inform the people on all questions in
volvcd in the campaign The republican state
convention will meet on the l4th Of this month
1t VIII be the largest political convention ever
held III the state. 1t will nominate q governor
justice OF the supreme court, Congressman
and presidential electors. There are many can
ddates for the office of governor, which shows
confidence in the strength of the party"
"Will the force bill play any part in the
"NOuliiiS II!
1.-The name force bill Ia msnomer, unless
the word force is applied for the reason that
the Lodge election bill would force into every
state honest elections. This measure was fully
discussed in Wyoming two years ago. and the
people understand it. There is a very small
illiterate class in Wyoming. The truth does
not damage the republican party. and do
not think the election bill will injure the
party in the state to the extent of one vote
lis there any danger of the peoples party
carrying Wyoming?''
No. he replied; have heard of no man 8
joining the peoples party in Wyoming because
he was opposed to the principles of the repub-
lican party. few disgruntled politicians of
both parties will join the peoples party in
Wyoming because they think they have not
been appreciated"
In speaking in regard to New York and
Indiana he said: SIN my opinion think Har-
rison will carry both New York and Indiana. l
don't see how either New York or Indiana can
be otherwise than feel well satisfied with the
administration of Harrison. He was an I'M
tried man four years ago The country has
had the benefit Of his administration. which
has proven him to be courageous, able and
learned. ~ far greater man in every respect
than was even claimed on the part Of his most
enthusiastic friends four years ago. He has
made no mistakes. His foreign policy has been
most creditable and to the honor Of the AmeIi-
can name, and his domestic policy has been to
the highest interests OF the American people. ="
