SOME SPECIMEN LETTERS.

Below We give some, but not all. of the
letters we have received on the subject Of
THE LEADERS, structures upon the stock
commission. They will serve to show
that the criticisms have struck a respons'
i've chord in the minds of many people, as
ever those presented cover a variety Of
business pursuits. When the leayen has
worked its way through the state the
response will be equally spirited but i'm.
mensely increased in volume.
The following is from a gentleman do,
ing business 10 the northern part oil the
county, but who happens to be in town;
CHEYENNE, March 29.-I notice a
number OF letters in your paper from diff
ferent parts Of the state with reference to
the stand you have taken, not against the
live stock commission, but in tie direction
of right, and | am really surprised to see
such men as you have named boycotting
you. and wonder if they can afford to do
so. | have been engaged in the cattle
business in Laramie county for nearly ten
years, and am sure the live stock commits
sion is retaining the money of honorable
men today. While disengaged in the
business at present, | am a member of
the Wyoming live stock association, and
my dues are paid. EDclosed | hand you
my subscription and wish you God speed.
BUSINESS MAN OF LARAMIE COUNTY.
BUFFALO, March 24.-Allow me to
offer my most earnest congratulations upon
the stand you take editorially in THE
LEADER of the 22nd regarding the state
live stock commission. The article
created a yeritable sensation here and has
made your paper more friends than any
thing in has done in the past two years.
Knowing that your attitude is eminently
proper and just. and desiring nothing but
the most exact equity, | am at a loss to
adequately express the feelings which
prompt this note. Accept my personal
thanks. l am sure you will receive those
of our people in proper form.
CASPER. March 26.-Outside OF the
stock commission and its few sympa-
thizers in Cheyenne the people are a
unit in their endorsement Of the stand
that has been taken by THE LEADER.
GLENRocK, March 25.-I probably
differ very much from you politically and
never paid much attention to THE
LEADER until the last three Issues. L
yet feel that ! ehould address you this
letter. l do not believe in the theory Of
the Graphic that every person who is not
a large cattleman is a thief. That there
are thieves or rustlers no one will deny,
but they are IN a verv diminutive minor
ity. y Stringent laws should be
enacted and riQidlv executed and all steal
ing stopped, whether it is stealing from
the range or out Of the cars at Chicago.
And no one is more interested in having
this accomplished than the honest ranch
man or business man of the state. \
To the average settler it makes but a few
cents difference whether we nave a tariff
for protection or revenue only. He want
his steer to have the same protection as
any other Wyoming steer has. Neither
does it matter much to the same settler
how silver Is coined. but he wants the
SILVER for the steer he has an honest claim
to, y
DOUGLAS. March 26.-I write not for
publication but to congratulate you upon
the stand you have taken in regard to the
stock commission and compliment you
upon the hot and effective work YOU are
doing. = n n n Living in Cheyenne
you can hardly realize how widespread
and intense is the popular detestation of
the stock commissions arbitrary seizures.
CASPER, Wyo., March 26.-I desire
to earnestly endorse your recent editor
ials 90 the cattle commission and in doing
so | express not only my own sentiments
but those of almost the entire community,
democrats and republicans alike. No
newspaper articles have ever attracted SO
much attention in this section and l have
vet to hear a dissent or criticism from
anybody. l say this to indicate to you
that you need not fear the Cheyenne boy
colt. Send to the following named per.
sons copies of your Tuesday. Wednesday
and Thursday papers and send bill to me.
Here followed a list of names.
GLENRocK, Wyo., March 26-In Pc
rusing TIE LEADER Of last evening l see q
number Of blank spaces caused through
your effort to befriend the small ranch.
men and expose the vile corruption
OF the large stock and SO called associa-
tons. They have attempted to boycott
aud desert your worthy and prosperous
paper. 1t is a fact OF no small considera.
ton that for the last several years a mar
of small capital could not require or de-
mand protection. But since the columns
of your paper have proven to US that we
are not entirely alone we yet survive
with great admiration and hope by the
continuous efforts of such men to accom-.
plush our undertaking in the end. | ex-
press the sentiments of this entire coun.
try when 1 deliberately extend to you a
happy greeting and many thanks for the
worthy article in your paper. We only
hope that your position IN this matter
will be to your advantage and not to your
detriment. and if the men you have SC
nobly befriended will come to your rescue
l feel no hesitancy in SAYING your pape
