This year we have an opportunity to
vote cur principles and the lines are
squarely drawn. Mr.. Mondell. the re-
publican candidate, stands for protec-
tion, reciprocity, sound money and
western development. Mr.. Arnold, the
democratic candidate. stands for free
silver at the ratio of l6 to ! without the
aid or consent of any other nation, low
tariff and the general condition which
usually exists under a democratic ad-
ministration. The policy of n means
Improvements and prosperity; the poll
cy of the other means ~stagnation and
adversely. Actual experience in the
past has demonstrated this conclusion
to be correct.

The Cheyenne bankers have just
done the handsome thing by the State
of Wyoming. 1t will be remembered
when the militia was mustered in Gov
ernor Richards. backed by a
number of the leading citizens of the
state. borrowed sufficient money from
the bankers OF Cheyenne to pay the
boys from the time of enlistment to the
day CT mastering. This money has just
been returned to the state by the gen.
eral government. and when Governor
Richards came to settle with the banks
the Stookgrowers and First National
he was informed that the interest
would be nothing. This generous ACT
leads one to the belief that bankers are
not always the mercenary Shylocks
some people would have us believe they
are.

II Mr.. Alger has eve performed n
act Of friendship for the Wyoming uni
yersity, Why don't he say so? Was it
a friendly act when he voted to have
the agricultural college taken away
frcm us? Was it a friendly act when
he condemned the university, branding
it as a high school for the benefit VI
Albany county only? Was it a ~frien'iiy
act when he stated to a lady of this
city that he believed it would be more
profitable for the people Of the state to
send their boys and girls abroad to re-
ceive their university training? Stand
up fer Wyoming. Stand by a man who
will not belittle and work against home
Institutions.

The highest income received during
any one year by the state land board,
Of which Governor Osborne was pres-
dent, was about s12,s70. But the In
come Of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment of Governor Richards admins
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by the
state board for said year, from the
leasing of public lands to settlers, In
this state amounted to $3e,SS2.SS. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
government, without additional egis-
latton, as lieu lands, 341,770 acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue of $17,0Ss. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
of Wyoming the annual expenses Of
the county government to the tax pay
ers of Wyoming amounted to the vast
sum of 1870. s09.51. As Q result of wise
legislation and a republican governor.
and as a result of the thorough and
painstaking work OF the present state
examiner, and heartily co-operated in
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state. although the numper Of counties
has been increased, the expenses Of
county government have been decreas-
ed to 1920, O98. SO, or a saving of over
$50, 1000 per annum to the taxpayers Of
Wyoming.
Attention is called to the fact that
our last republican legislature passed
acts in reference to fees to be col
lected from corporations Incorporated
under the laws of this state and from
insurance companies whereby the
annual income of the state has been
increased owe q year Of the Osborne
administration from $4,000 to the sum
Of $4,000. These are but instances Of
the progress made by the state and
and the advantages gained to the tax
payers and to the people through the
republican legislation and amtnis-
tration.
We censure and condemn John e.
Osborne, Wyoming's representative in
congress. for neglect of duty in leaving
his seat and coming home to attend to
private business at the most critical
period in the history Of the nation,
causing Wyoming to be the only SOW
erign state that did not respond to
roll call In the house Of representatives,
on the adoption Of the declaration Of
war for humanity and the maintenance
Of national honor.
Knowing that the republican party
Is a paryt that fulhlls It's pledges and
always adheres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number, We fear no criticism, but sub
NIT our record to The most scrutinixing
investigation.

In another column OF this paper to-
day we present an address from the
chairman of the republican state COM
mittee. the Hon. J. A Van Orsdel. 1t
is not in the nature Of an appeal to vot-
ers, but rather extends congratulations
to the people that they are assured OF
safety from the pitfalls of democracy.
Enough is now known at republican
headquarters to warrant the statement
that the state will go republican by a
splendid majority and for this reason
the chairman of the republican COM
mittee has felt it his duty to make 1t
known to the people. His one final re-
quest to all those who desire a continu-
ance OF the prosperous conditions
brought about by the present republi-
can administration is that they shall go
to the polls next Tuesday and vote the
republican ticket from top to bottom.

Nelson attempted to take his life In
his room this morning about 3 O'Clock,
by shooting himself in the right ear.
That he had deliberately planned to do
the deed was evident from the fact that
he had two pistols. one in each hand,
when he shot himself. He was lying in
bed, not yet having COTTON up for the
morning. lie retired about II or 11:30
last night and nothing more was heard
from him till the sound OF a pistolshot
came from his room. The employees Of
the hotel went at once to the room but
found the door locked. Mr.. Bragg, one
OF the clerks, effected an entrance
through the transom. The man was
found in bed bleeding profusely from the
wound in his head. In his left hand he
held a big army pistol Of A calibre, which
was cooked, but had not been fired.

done the work. Medical assistance was
summoned, and the wounded man regain

when he was sent TO st. Vincent's Hos
pital.
