A NEW IDEA.

/ wish / had a rubber tire
So big that it would be
An easy thing to ride a wheel
Across the raging sea-
I'd love to climb a breaker high,
To coast along a swell,
And skirt along a ripple, and
Wear diving bell,
So that if I header took,
No harm would come of it,
Come, makers of ye bicycles,
Here's chance to show your wit.

ming:
In accordance with established u.s.
age and by direction of the republican
state committee, notice is hereby given
that a republican state convention will
be held at Cheyenne, Wyoming, on
Wednesday, August 18th, 1896, at 10

Three presidential electors,
A representative in the Fifty-Fifth
congress Of the United States.
A justice of the Wyoming supreme
court.
The delegates to this convention
from the counties in the several jul
dicial districts in the state will also at
the same time and place separately
place in nomination a candidate for
district judge in each Of their respec-
tive districts.
The convention will also transact

, 1896-07-29

The delegates from the several coun-
ties will be chosen at county conven-
tons called and conducted according
to the rules and customs followed in
such counties in selecting delegates to
state convictions.
All electors in the state who intend
voting with the republican party are
cordially invited without regard to past
political relations to unite under this
call in the selection of delegates to the
state convention.
Delegates are urged to personally at
tend the convention; but those who are
unable to attend may appoint a proxy.
The committee, witout assuming any
control in this matter suggests that the
precedent be followed, that proxies be
given only to residents Of the county
represented and that the accumulation
Of proxies in the hand Of any one per-
son be avoided as far as possible.
