talented. and by occupation sheep grower,
will lead the Democracy Of the state this

boy executive, for he is barely 30. 1t
looked once as though a woman would be
the nominee. This would have broken
easily a deadlock which lasted thirty-seven
ballots Mrs. r. Bards discussion of the
platform was interesting, especially in
talking Of the tariff, silver and concession

Mrs. Hamilton, of Evanston was given
ten complimentary votes on one ballet
Osborne was dark horse" and did not
show any strength until the deciding mo-
ment. Kabis was beaten because be was
from Cheyenne Hart because he was the
leader Of the rustler element, and Holiday
because his friends would not assist Kabis
when the latter needed only little help.
The candidate for Congress is H. A.
Gotten, of Sheridan. He is from the rustler
county, but has not figured in the rows
growing out Of the Wyoming civil wars.
Gibson Clark of Cheyenne, an able man,
win make the race for the supreme bench
vacancy.
The platform is clear and vigorous all
through. IL is for revenue tariff only, for
free and unlimited coinage Of silver. On
cession of arid lands TO the states it en-
dorses the principle, but is against Senator
Warren's bill introduced in Congress. The
con vention wants vote Of the people on
the proposition, and an agreement that.the
grazing lands snail never be leased but
shall be open to everybody. Contrary to
all expectation there is nothing about the
rustler troubles in the platform. 1t simply
says the armed invasion Of Johnson county
was q disgrace TO tie state and that the

officials.
The Democracy is pretty well united and
as result of this convention should be
able TO overcome the Republican msiorities
aud elect It's men.

insuring handsome majority.

his POO guests in iue shape, none being
hungry and ali had good bed. It had
been the fear that Rock Springs could not
furnish hotel accommodations for the
throng, but Keirle disproved this.
The RcuiclC came out in national colcrs

the visitors.
The ladies Of Rock Springs paid pretty
