WYOMING DEMOCRATS.
A Bold Delegate Offers a Protection
Resolution.

Resolution.
LARAMIE, Wyo., May H.-The Demo-
cratic State convention, held here to-day.
was controlled entirely by the free-s.lver
element Of the party, and adopted a. plat
fern OF one plank, embodying the most adj
vanced views in favor of that policy. Tie
convention was called to order by State
Chairman Cortnell at O'clock this after
noon. Colin Hunter, OF Laramie county,
was made temporary chairman and G. A.
Snyder, of Sweetwater, temporary secre-
tary. AS soon as the necessary committees
had been named William Daley, of Carbon
county. created a sensation by introducing
the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that there should be revision
or the tarin laws OF the United States to
the end that they may not only produce
adequate revenues, but that they may be so
adjusted as to afford proper protection to
American industries without fostering trusts,
and TO insure that wholesome degree of pro-
lection to consumers and iaborerS which it
Is their right TO receive. Further We favor
the system of specific rather than ad va
loren duties imports
Instantly there vas confusion, a score Of
delegates seeking recognition. When the
Chair succeeded in restoring order the reso-
luton was tabled by a heavy vote and the
convention took a recess till o'clock. Upon
reassembiing the reports Of the committees
were adopted, the latter naming NJ L.
Blake, of Sheridan, for permanent chair
man. The committee on resolutions sub
mitted the following platform, which was
unanimously adopted by a rising vote:
Resolved, That we, the Democrats of
Wyoming, in convention assembled, demand
the free and unlimited coinage of silver and
gold into primary redemption money at the
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the
action or approval Of any other govern
ment."
The following delegates to the Chicago
convention were chosen: c. w. Bramel.

REVOLUTIONARY SENTIMENTS OF
RADICAL COLORADO sILvERITEs.
Great Demand for Tickets to
the st. Louis Convention.

ST. LOUIS. May N.-The Globe-Demo-
Gratis Denver correspondent says: If Sill
yer is not paced on an equality with gold.
the time may come when the West will Sc
cede from the United States government
and the States west of the Mississippi river
set up republic of their own" 3s-S
That was the doctrine preached at an
overlooking meeting Of the Young Mems
Silver Club at the Chamber Of Commerce
tonight. That IS another specimen brick
of the doctrine thrown at the silver club.
The speaker was none other than ex-Con-
gresham Belford. Quite number of ladies
were present. He said ne had no love for
Edward o. Woicott, and the audience
cheered Justify. But he said he admired
Wo,cott's bravery in saying that any man
who would go to the st. Louis convention
with the idea OF boiling, seeing now that 1T
would surely pass gold resolutions, would
be dishoncrable. Outside Of Henry M. Tel
ler not one member of the Colorado dele
cation would bot the St. Louis convention.
1t was because he (the speaker) desired to
see Henry NJ. Teller made President Of the
United States at the head of a silver party
thet he did not want to see him persuaded
into going into a wrong position by enter
ing the st. Louis convention. The speaker
said that the danger of division would
come In this government and the Mississippi
river might be the eastern boundary of the
new Western republic. He gave a glowing
description of this new silver republic,
from British Columbia on the north to the
deep water harbor at Galveston on the
south, and from the Mississippi river on
the east to the Golden Gate on the west
He said that IS per cent. of the money
voted out OF the treasury OF the United
States had been voted to build up Eastern
Interests. The time had come when the
West proposed to have something.
Each sentiment was cheered to the echo,
and the audience fairy raved over the revo-
lutionary sentiments, which met with the
full Endorsement Of George NJ. Merrick,
president of the Colorado Silver League,
and other lesser notables. The meeting
was the first gun toward nominating Sena-
tor Teller for the presidency to represent
the fusion of silver voters

or rather the lack of individual concession.
Not less than four OF the offices were
sought for among the delegates themselves,
whereas IL they had agreed upon one, and
he not necessarily a member OF the dele

Indiana would have been elected, for no
State has better material; yet Ohio fur
