morning that woman had died

ceased TO ascertain the facts re-
garding her death. On investiga-
tion it was learned that the deceas-
ed was Mrs. Sallie Morris, wife Of
Mr.. T. Nj. Morris an employe of
the Poplsrville Lumber Company,
who with his family, moved here
from Alabama recently and lived
in house near the mill. When
Mis-. Morris retired last night she
was apparently in perfect health,
aud occupied room with her three
, little children adjoining that Of
where her husband aud brother
, slept. About half past eleven
o clock Mr.. Morris was awakened
! by the cries of one Of the children,
who complained of being cold, and
striking light he went at once to
attend to the little fellow, and when
he entered the room be discovered
his wife lying with her head hang.
ing over the edge of the bed. and
gently took hold of her to help her
back on the bed, thinking che was
asleep, but when he tried TO arouse
her he discovered to his sorrow that
she was dead. He Immediately
notified his neighbors of the sad
occurrence and this morning il
was decided that in justice to the
family and the law an inquest
should be held and the cause of her
death fully established. A jury
was empaneled and after a thor.
ough investigation with the assis-
lance Of physician, they render
ed verdict stating that the de-
ceased came to her death from nat.
ural causes.

ever before. Mr.. Alger is careful not
to state in just which particular sec
ton OF the state labor rs oppressed.
He favors an income tax, leaving the
inference with those who read his enu-
sion that the republicans of the state
have been in opposition to such a
measure, but does not state that 1t was
a democratic supreme court that decid-
ed against this Law and declared 1t to
be unconstitutional. The truth about
the matter is that the republicans Of
Wyoming have never had occasion to
pass upon this matter and it is not an
issue in this campaign.
Here is what he a y about leasing
state lands: Il believe the state lands
can be leased in such a manner as to be
of general benefit to the state and the
public institutions to which they were
donated, but I am opposed to leasing
lands in large tracts when such leases
are detrimental to the interests o r
transportation facilities of actual set
tiers OF stockmen in the vicinity there
! Of" How is that for i%nuendo? What
is said in that sentence? All that is ex-
pressed is a sinister desire to wall at
the republican party, which is infer.
entially charged with leasing large
tracts of land to the detri-
ment of small owners. Such
is not the case, the state land
board having acted in the fairest pos
sible manner in the matter Of leasing
state lands. Even Judge Joseph NJ
Carey. with all his influence, was turn.
ed down by the board and the tract thai
he desired was refused. The state is
now receiving a large revenue from its
leased lands and the people would like
to know if Mr.. Alger desires that i
shall be thrown away. The genera
public is certainly entitled to some con
sideration.
He pledges himself to use every
means In his power to CARRY out tht
principles and policie5 outlined in thu
platform adopted at Casper, debaset
currency, cheap wool and all, and there
fore should not receive the suffrage o
the people.

ALGER'S LETTER.

The letter OF acceptance written by
Hon. Horace C. Alger, democratic can
d!date for governor. is a typical demo-
cratic docment, entirely worthy Of the
Source from whence 1T comes. Before
reading this prediction we had formed
a rather favorable impression Of the
democratic candidate, but it has been
dissipated. For misleading statements,
can't. hypocrisy and ~inferential mis-
representation it easily leads anything
yet produced, even by the somewhat
talented editor of the Wyoming depart
ment OF the Denver rot-mill. Its brevi-
ty is its only redeeming feature.
In his opening paragraph he attempts
to carry out the delusion that there Is
a silver republican party in this state
and that 1t really participated in the
convention at Casper. Everyone who
has any knowledge Of political affairs
vention ait Casper vas engineered
and paid for by the democrats and that
the so-called silver republicans were
the willing tools OF the Democratic par
ty-in fact were members OF that party
and had been since the election Of 1896.
The s%ide-action at Casper was a miser-
able makeshift for the purpose OF de-
ception. 1t was a deliberate fraud and
a cowardly attempt TO obtain votes un-
der false 'pretenses. In view Of the

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM,

The republicans Of Wyoming, in con-
vention assembled, congratulate the
nation on its return to republican rule.
which furnishes a sure guarantee Of the
stability and prosperity Of all our in
situations and a comparison that gives
little hope Of a return to power OF. the
democratic party, the party Of decep-
ton and disappointment.
We reaflrm the declaration Of facts
and principles adopted by the eleventh
national republican convention at st.
Louis, July II, 1896.
The financial policy Of the republic
can party having brought prosperity
to the entire country, and given us a
place among the nations of the earth
and enabled us to conduct successfully
a foreign war, we, therefore, unhesi-
tatingly reafirm the financial plank Of
the platform as expressed by the ma
tional convention at st. Louis.
We congratulate the country upon
the fact that in response to the demand
of the St. Louis platform, and the will
Of the people expressed at the polls in
1896, protection and reciprocity, twin
measures of republican policy, have
been re-established and have been en-
bodied in, by the enactment Of the
Dingley bill. and we especially con-
graduate the people of Wyoming upon
the enactment Of this law. which has
directly benefited our two great indus
tries, viz: the raising Of live stock an1
the mining Of coal, by which both d.
rectly and Indirectly have brought
prosperity to every business within our
state.
We most cordially approve the ad-
ministration Of President Mckinley.
He has met the unusually grave and
dificult questions which have arisen
since his incumbency OF the presiden-
tial ONCE in a manner SO wise and pa
triotic as to challenge the admiration
of all parties at home and to win the
