LARAMIE, WYo., May 21.-The Wy
o,ning Democratic convention convened
here at o'clock this afternoon. The
delegates were welcomed by State
Chairman Nellis Corthell, and the con-
vention opened with prayer by Rev.
DR.. Sage
Hon. Colin Hunter of Laramie coun-
ty was made permanent chairman, and
Charles Snyder of Sweetwater county
secretary. After a recess a perma-
nent organization was made, with M.
L. Blake of Sheridan, permanent chair
man. The first stir in the convention
was caused by William DAILY of Car
bon county, who introduced a resolu-
ton calling for a tariff union, so that
American industries may be protected
without fostering trusts. The resolu-
ton was tabled as un-Democratic. The
platform adopted by the convention
consists of but one plank, as follows:
Whereas, The paramount issue be
fore the American people is the cur
rency question; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we, the Democracy
of Wyoming, in convention assembled,
demand the free and unlimited coinage
of silver and gold into primary re-
demption money at the ratio of is to
1, without waiting for the action or APP
prevail of any other government.
Following the adoption of the plat
form, T. S. Talliaferro, chairman of
the Sweetwater delegation, moved the
election as DELEGATES at large to Chi
cago of John e. Osborne of Carbon
and W. H. Holiday of Albany county.
A. lively parliamentary discussion fol-
lowed. and Talliaferro's motion was
finally voted down.
The election of delegates to Chicago,
under the usual procedure, then fol-
lowed. resulting in the election of M. L.
Blake oE Sheridan, John E. Osborne,
Rawlfns; Robert F'oote. Buffalo; c. w.
Bramel, Laramie; T. Dyer, Cheyenne;
j. w. Sammon, Evanston.
At the evening. session. the convention
unanimously endorsed w. H. Holiday,
of Albany county, for the position of
national comitteeman for Wyoming, and
instructed the delegation to Chicago to
observe the unit rule.

Van Horn, was arrested today charged
with larceny of diamonds valued at
$1,0S5 and $50 in cash
Tuesday night Professor and Mrs.
Kicker arrived in the city from San
Francisco, whittier they had shortly
before gone from Olympia, Wash. In
Washington Professor Kicker was as
sistant state geologist, and it was on
account of fa ling health that he left
there.
In this city they went to the Grand
Central hotel, where they remained I'M
til last evening. AS they We're leaving,
Van Horn demanded 81, which Pro
fessor Kicker refused to pay, claiming
it was an overcharge.
Thereupon, he says, Van Horn struck
him in the face. Two grips which
Kicker was carrying fell to the
floor and Van Horn grabbed one con-
tanning jewelry and money, and start
ed to run. Kicker seized him, and he
says Van Horn cried to someone on the
street to ''catch the grip at the same
time throwing it through the office
door to an unknown man standing on
the sidewalk The grip fell to the
walk, breaking open. The jewels and
money rolled on the sidewalk, but were
quickly picked up by the unknown
man, who disappeared with them.
The jewelry consisted of two dia-
mond earrings and three rings.
A policeman arrested both Kicker
and Van Horn for disturbance. In
police court today Kicker was tried
and discharged. Van Horn will be
tried for disturbance tomorrow.
On the grand larceny complaint he
was released on a $4,000 bond.

EVANSTON, Wyo., May 21.-The Dem
ocrats of Evanston are congratulating
each other tonight over the election of
]. W. Sammon at the Laramie convention
as delegate to the Chicago convention.
BY the election Sammon, at a bound,
springs into the political arena as the
leader of his party in Uinta county. Be-
cause it was understood that a. l.. New
was opposed to him, the Democrats are
proud of this distinction accorded to
Jinta county, and have the best assurance
that Sammon will represent them with
credit to himself
Sammon is a rising young lawyer, an
astute politician, and strong man who
has successfully grappled with A. L. New
for the leadership of the party in Uinta.
New is the waning star; Sammon is the

At a few minutes after 10 o'clock
yesterday morning County Attorney
Whittemore opened the arguments to
the jury in the Morris bribery case
He spoke for two hours, concluding his
address at noon. at which time court
took a recess until 1870 O'Clock. AT
five minutes after that hour Judge
Powers opened for the defense, and
concluded his address at 5:25, speaking
for a period CT four hours all but ten
minutes.
Judge Powers has delivered many
famous addresses. both in and out Of
court, but the effort he made yesterday
on behalf of Joe Morris will compare
with the best he has ever made, not
excepting his plea in the Irvine muir
Ger trial. Ii was one stream of elo-
quence from start to finish, now argu-
incentive, then pathetic, then denuncla-
tory, then pleading, ali in the mastery
manner of a great orator. The court
room was crowded by members of the
oar and the public. who greatly en-
joyed the speech and recognized in 1t
the touch of a master hand.
Mr.. Varian has two hours this morn
ing in which to close for the prosecu-
ton, and it is certain he will make a
great address. Judge Rolapp's charge
viii follow. and then Morris fate will
rest with the jury.
THE COUNTY ATTORNEY OPENS.
County Attorney Whittemore opened
his address for the prosecution by stat
ing that at one time it was his inten-
ton to make an extended argument.
but from the nature of the case as it
now stood he didn't think it was Eeces-
saTy to make very lengthy address.
as the prosecution, he consi-ed, had
so thoroughly established their case.
He dwelt on the great Importance to
the pubic of the outcome Of the trial
and Insisted that good government and
honesty in public affairs demanded a
verdict of guilty. The public was
watching this trial and SO were the
people whose business 1t was to sell
materials for the erection and furnish
ing Of public buildings. There were
honest firms and honest men engaged
81 all lines Of business. and it was to
their interest that bribery and corrup-
ticn in these transactions should be
punished. The result of this trial,
which would be flashed all over the
land. was looked for with expectant
eyes.
THE OLD STORY.
Counsel then told the story of how
the investigation which led UP to the
trial began. When the present county
commissioners and county officers as
sumed their duties they were struck
with the apparent extortionate prices
which had been paid for the furnish
1ngs, and that at once awakened their
suspicious. The undue haste in fur
nishing rooms which would, but for the
advent OF statehood, not have been

Warren Introduces Bill of Great
Importance to Wyoming and the
West Generally.
Especial to The Herald. \

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 21.-Rob-
ert Morris, of Salt Lake, who was ap-
pointed naval cadet at Annapolis by
Representative Allen, failed in the ex--
animation and Alex Goliath, the alter
nate, will take examination next week.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming, today
introduced bill to raitify an agree
ment with the Indians of Shoshone or
Wind River reservation, Wye, and
making an appropriation to carry the
same into effect, establishing the Wy
dining Hot Springs reservation and
making an appropria ton for survey
thereof For the purpose of making
payments of the foregoing agreement,
same to be paid to Indians belonging
to the Shoshone reservation per cap
tia in cash, or expended for them by
their agreement in purchase of stock
cattle, the sum of $4,000 is appropri-
ated
The land ceded sold, relinquished, and
conveyed to the United States by
agreement accepted, ratified and con-
irmed, shall be set apart as a national
park or reservation under the name
and style of the Wyoming Hot Springs
reservation, to be under the control
of the department of the interior, and
administered as may be heretofore pro-
vided by law, forever reserving Big
Horn Hot Springs, located on said res
ervation, for the use and benefit of the
people of the United States.
Right Of way across the Wyoming
Hot Springs reservation is granted for
any ditch or canal carrying water from
Big Horn river for irrigation or other
purposes, the right to appropriate and
divert waters so carried having been
obtained under the laws of the state
of Wyoming, said right of way to en-
brace only ground actually occupied
by said ditch or canal, and the state
of Wyoming is authorized to grant per-
mits for the division of waters of the
Big Horn river within the boundary of
said reservation provided, that no
such ditch or canal shall be so located
or constructed as to interfere with the
proper occupation by the government
Of such reservation; and all maps of
location shah be subject to the ap-
prevail of the secretary of the interior.
Section 4-That for purpose of sur
veying and establishing the southern
and western boundaries of the tract
coded by the foregoing agreement, and
for purpose of surveying, plating, lay
ing out subdividing, and plainly monu-
menting a tract embracing said Big
Horn Hot Springs, and land immedi-
ately adjacent thereto, including the
tract across Big Horn river opposite
the springs, the total amount of the
land so surveyed not to exceed $50
acres (the said survey to provide for
locations for bath houses and hotels,
streets, drives and park places and
for the further purpose of surveying
a line for a canal to irrigate tract
of land Immediately across the Big
Horn river from the Hot Springs, the
sum of $500 be appropriated.

agreed upon and at least partly paid.
THAT MINING DEAL.

Counsel then touched on the mining
deal between Hayken and Morris, and
from the testimony thought that it
had been very clearly established that
the deal, by which Morris sold to
Hayken a comparatively valueless
mine at Dugway for $4,000, was a
bogus transaction, entered into at a
very recent date for the sole purpose
Of covering UP the fraudulent trans
actions. He called the attention of the
jury to the fact that Morris admitted
having received from Hayken $500,
and urged that this was really Doodle.
and that at the time the money was
paid no mining deal was thought of
by either party.
The great interest Morris had taken
in Hayken's defense he considered
good evidence that Morris was guilty
of the crime charged. Counsel con-
cluded by directing the attention of the
jury to the testimony going to show
that Morris had importuned Hayken
to go on the stand and testify that he

needed for years to come, with such
elegant and gorgeous furniture that it
even put such palatial Offices as those
of ChaTalcey Depew and other railroad
magnates in the shade, was another
cipcume .ance wlldch awakened suspi-
cioa The investigation was started
and DISCOVERIES were made which led
to the conclusion that bribery and
corruption mad entered very largely
into these dealings.
THE VALUE OF THE FURNITURE.
MIR. Whittemore then dwelt at length
on the estimates Of the value Of the
furniture made by Weary, Swiney and
othe- experts, showing that the coun-
ty had paid nearly $55,0Oo for furniture
which was worth only $4,000. and. the
letters written by Hayken to his firm,
counsel held, showed very co1clusively
that a rake-of af 20 per cent had been

but for evil. In this instance he played

turns and stings his benefiactor. He
proclaimed himself a corruptor AID a
briber, an accomDlfce whose word or
oath are equally unworthy of belief.
EVIDENCE OF AN ACCOMPLICE.
The law provides that no man can
be convicted on the evidence of a con-
fessed accomplice alone; the law casts
suspicion and doubt on the testimony
