A slim, SICK CROWD.
TO THE DEMOCRATIC PRI-
MARIES.
Few Changes Are Made in the Old Gang
Which Has Controlled Democracy
in Laramie for Many Years-Mr.
Jahren Comes in to Get the Nomi-
na:!on for County Attorney.

Democratic primaries were held las,
nigh. for ,Ohe election of delegates TO
lJhe county convention which viii be
lex Saturday. They were up to
the Standard of recent democratic pri-
maries in Laramie, only lacking a few
Of enough at each meeting for delegates
and altornalyes. In the First ward there
were 10 persons present, II of whom
was a rCsident of the Second ward, and

elec,ed. In The Second ward there
were 20 persons present. and &c dele
gates and alternates Were elected.
One thing will be very noticeable TO
'Lhe rank and file OF democracy, If
There is a rank and file left. and that is
.lhe fact that the complexion of the
delegation has MOI changed materially
from past conventions. To be sure,
two or Ihree more Of lShe Boomerang

subordinated to its Own interests.
Even Corthe9l was induced to come
INFO The fold again for the purpose of
helping to engineer lthe deal with the
popuiists. who are supposed to require
considerable argument to convince
chem chat they ought to give up every
thing to the democrats-ofices. prin-
ciples and all.
1t is understood now that the price
CT Jahren's republicanism is the nomi-
nation for county attorney. If he re-
ceiveS the nomination next Saturday
everybody will understand why he has
battered for gold. Bur then Jahren
will bring nothing TO the cause OF de-
mocracy but Their old tlme emblem. a
Strong breath.
DR.. johnson WAS conspicuous by his
absence last evening. 1t is barely pos
sible that he was out in search of an
other parity.
The complexion of the delegation
elected last night is understood to
mean C. c. Frazer for sheriff, Jahren
for attorney, Sbickney for treasurer.

Carpenter for county attorney, but the
