REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL
TICKET.
FALSE PROMISES.

You remember the line Of ''argu-
meut" adopted by II democratic
friends four years ago, don't you? You
were assured, then. that the issue was
between the rich man and the poor
man; the aristocracy and the common
people. You were told that the the
money power" had you by the throat,
and would eventually shut off your
wind. Everything you wore was AK
cd to increase the bank account OF the
billionaire: everything you ate, every
ching you drank and everything you
used. was taxed. The "robber tariff"
wal a demon which was sucking the
very ffe-blood of the country, Great
ing millionaires and grinding the COM
mon people into the very dust. To
crush this money power; to hog-tie,
brand and corral it; to reduce the price
Of everything you bought and increase
the price OF everything you sold-you
had but to vote the democratic ticket.
You heard this argument" and many
Of you believed in it. While the dem
ocratic party did not dare to carry out
the free ideas on which 1T carried the
election. yet 1t gave us a mild dose Of
tariff reform"-and you know the re-
suit. Four years OF business depres-
sion. panics, and strikes; prices and
values lower than ever before; idle men
everywhere and two hundred and six
ty-two millions Of dollars in bonds, is
sued. IN time Of peace! Now the demo-
cratic orator mounts the stump again,
and he sings the same old song. He
tells You, again, that this is a contest
between the rich man and the poor
man; that the money power" has you
by the throat. and will throttle you if
you don't put up a fight: that if you
q want to increase the price Of what You
have to sell and decrease the price of
what you buy, you must vote for Bry-
an. He has raised a new issue-the
record OF the past four years has de-
stroyed his tariff bugaboo-but YOU

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the first
republican State convention in 1890
reads:
We heartily congratulate the peo-
pie upon the passage of the law by a re-
ublican congress which provides for
the purchase at the market value Of
four and one-half millions of ounces of
silver each month, and for the coinage
Of the same INFO money as rapidly as
the same can be circulated and for the
increase of the circulating money of
he %courtry, by the issue of more than
$50. O00. 900 of silver certificates per m
num-. which must result in he pur-
chase of the entire silver product of the
Uni.ed States. the restoration of parity
ais and the free coinage of silver, and
this. too Notwithstanding the earnest
protest of the late democratic admin
| istra.ion against the further purchase
of silver and it's coinage"
In 1892 the republican party of Wyo-
ming in state convention affirmed the
Minneapolis republican national plat
CORN. as follows:
The American people, from tradi-
ion and interest, favor b~imetallism,
and the republican party demands the
use of both gold and silver as a stand
ard money, With such restrictions and
under such provisions, to be determin-
ed by legislation, as will ecure the
maintenance of the parity OF values of
che two metals. so that the purchasing
and debt-paying power of the dollar,
whether of silver, gold or paper, shall
be at all times equal. The interests of
the producers Of the country, its far
mers and its workingmen, demand that
every dollar. paper or coin. issued by
the government shall be as good as any
other"
At Casper in 1894 the republicans In
convention declared:
I'VE reafirm our allegiance to the
principles of bimetallism as enunciat-
ed in the republican state platform
adopted at Casper in 1894, and we CON-
mend the record of our senators and
representatives in congress in MAIN
tanning these principles. and we in
struct u delegates to the St. Louis
convention to take like action, espe-
cially when the financial plank Of the
platform of that convention is being
made"
The league convention held in Chey-
enne. June 25, 1894. adopted the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the republican
state League of Wyoming favor the
free and unlimited coinage OF both gold
and silver at the ratio of 16 to i, with
full legal tender function accorded to
each in payment Of all public and pri-
waite debts"
In addition to the above there was
a meeting called by the state republic
can central committee during 1893 and
held in the City hall at Cheyenne, large
ly attended by members Of the commit
tee and party leaders. and there vas
also another meeting of the league, at
both Of which a similar resolution to
that Of the league in June, 1894, was
adopted.

day in which your reporter wishes to cor
rect former statement i'll regard to the
poll which was started at the shops. This
now puts not only Mr.. ellis in false

some influence i'll the matter, and as we
are thoroughly conversant with all the
facts, and attended the meeting Friday
night, we wish to state that from the be-
ginning of the campaign that the Norfolk
and Western railway and officers of the
shops have held as such an absolutely
neutral position; both sides have had free
access to the bulletin boards and both
have been permitted to distribute cam
paign literature and dodgers at the gates.

he has had not allowed his personal con-
victions to influence him in the treatment
of any employee; and in fact has encour.

The report that Col William r. Nor
rison, of Illinois, had bolted the Demo
cratic ticket turns out TO be mistake
His late letter, which was taken as re-
pudiatiom of Bryan, relates, so he says,
only to Governor AltgelG and his admin
istration of State affairs. His endorse
ment of Mr.. Bryan, however, could not
have been very strong when his letter
concerning Altgeld was liable to such IL
construction as was put upon it. If. Mr..
Bryan wins the election, of which the
chances are now very bright, he.will GER
tainly not owe it to the enthusiastic eX-
ertions of such old-time political hacks as
Hon. William r. Morrison, Hon Hokc
Smith and Vice President Stevenson,
whose assistance during the campaign
has been of IL decidedly negative charac-
ter Mr.. Stevenson, however, did not ac-
company" him through his last tour
through Illinois, for which, no doubt,
Mr.. Bryan is duly thankful.
