vention at Cheyenne favorable to placing
Bryan electors in the field.
In both Evanston precincts today the
Bryan people were in the majority, and
promptly voted down a resolution declar-
ing it TO be the sense of the meeting that
no one should participate who was not
pepared to pledge himself TO support the
Republican ticket-nationai, state and
county.

rupt the Republican party in Uinta coun-
~, and we deem it due to this majority
and the people at large to set forth the
facts as follows:
having elected their chairman they
(the McKinleyites) offered this resolution:
Resolved that il is the sense of this meet
ing that no one shall participate in its
proceedings or take part in the election of
delegates TO the forthcoming county Re
publican convention who is not prepared
10 pledge himself TO the support of the
Republican ticket-national, state and

large majority elected chairman in reg
ular order and. elected delegates TO the
coming county convention.

tons, Z. NJ. Perdue, R. NJ. Lewis, NJ NJ.

This action today portends bitter fight
in the county and state Republican con-
ventions and the complete Generalization
OF perhaps both the Old parties in this
county. The Democrats. however, are
Jubilant. and while the Republicans wran-
gle they expect to swipe the offices, as
usual, in Uinta county.
