A prominent railroad man working
between Laramie and Cheyenne, and
a democrat, took occasion yesterday to
express his opinion of the Boomerang
for the manner in which it has endeav-
ored t 0 blight Laramie and it's pros
poets. He said in all his life he had
never seen a paper before that took
delight in hunting up news derogatory
to the interests of the town in which 1t
made its living and in giving it great
prominence. Anything bad that could
be predicted for the future was publish
ed with as much spread-eagle display
as a circus advertisement. mo one
can tell" he said, 1.-The irreparable in
jury done the City Of Laramie since last
spring by that fool paper What 1t
has hoped to accomplish is difficult to
explain. If 1t has gained'a political adj
vantage no one knows it, for democrats
as well as republicans r alike inter-
ested in building up this community.

The time between now and election
day is very short and it is more than
probable that voters have made up
their minds Just what they propose to
do on election day. If there are any yet
undecided, to those we wish to say that
they cannot do better than to stand
squarely by the national administra-
ton. You can give Mr.. Mckinley sup
port by voting for Frank w. Mondell
and the republican Legislative ticket.
In state politics, too, the voter has a
good opportunity to do a good turn for
the people of the state. Governor
Richards has made a splendid execu-
tive. Continue the republican party in
power in this state and insure to the
people a reduction Of taxation and
good business principles in the conduct
of their affairs.

"If l were to propose the free and
unlimited coinage of silver and gold at
the ratio of GA to l, l should be justly
regarded as ar uncompromising gold
monometallist, because its real value
is as 80 to 1; and everybody knows that
a law which processes to give equal
value to so cents worth of gold and q
dollars worth of silver would result in
driving the more valuable article out
Of use and substituting the less valu,
able n in its place. Yet the one pro-
posal is no more absurd and impossi.
BILE Of fruition than the other. Gold a,
l to "a is no more overvalued than sill
yer at 16 to 1. Each is 100 per cent out
OF the way from its present intrinsic
value. Either ratio would result in i'm.
mediate monometallism. "-Nellis E
Corthell, Chairman of the Democratic
County Central Committee.

Give Mckinle a Show

A vote for c. P. Arnold for congress
and the democratic candidates for h
Legislature is to say that you do not
endorse the glorious achievements Of
President Mckinley's administration
in the var with Spain. in the negotia-
ticn Of the terms Of peace and the i'm
proved industrial conditions brought
in this country. Do not check
une wheels of progress by electing a
congress that will not uphold the presi-
d.n. and his administration in the set
t.emeI.t of the many questions which
are yet to be determined in the adjudi-
cation of the rights of the people in our
newly acquired islands. Give the ad-
ministration a free hand and a fair
show, and then if in 1900 the president
has not served the best interests OF the
country, give the democratic party an
opportunity to demonstrate the FEAST
bility Of their schemes OF government.
Every fair-minded person will concede
that it is right that the president should
not be handicapped by the election of
a congress which will not support his
policy.-Rawlins Republican.

ley is under the control of the terrible
money power" Did it look that way
in the settlement with the Union Pa
cific railway, in which the greatest cap
italists of the country were interested?
1t will be remembered that the presi-
dent refused to accept the offer made
to Cleveland and insisted upon full
payment Of the debt.
II there Is any truth in the accusation
made against the president by Osborne
it is very strange that the syndicate
which bought the Cuban bonds, of
which so much has been published by
the yellow journals. did not influence
the president to consent to the pay
ment of the Cuban debt. Not a dollar
of it is assumed by the United States
in the recent settlement Of the posses
sion of Cuba.
Why, the yellow journals even said
that the president would not declare
war because Hanna was in a pool that
bought up these bonds. All this is
proven false by the early preparations
that were made for the destruction OF
the Spanish feet at Manila and by the
prompt and vigorous action of the pres.
ident in all the pre.iminaries leading
up to the war. as well as by the com.
plete and thorough cleaning up o.
Spain, destroying its navy and ~seizint
Spanish islands. Even the Philippine:
will be retained, which must be a SAT
blow to the money power, that hold:
Spanish bonds.
There is absolutely no truth in Mr.
Osborne's attack upon President Nc
kinley. Nothing to justify his abus'
or his denunciation of William McKin
ley as a traitor to the republican party

We have heard a great howl from
democratic orators and democratic
newspapers of late about the ruinous
decline in the price Of WOOL. Johnny
that he sold his wool for 13 cents per
pound and that he could now buy 1t
back for 10 cents per pound, and his
mind is filled with sorrow for the poor
other fellow. But is Johnny telling the
truth? If market reports are correct
he is not. We have before us the sta
tistical abstract Of the United States
corrected to July 81, and it gives the
price Of territorial fine medium wool
July %, 1898, at 43 cents, secured basis.
In the Globe-Democrat's report OF the
Boston wool market, November 1,
1898, we find the following: Terri
torial wools-Montana fine medium
and fine. in the grease, IA to II; scour-
ed, "A to as; staple, 48 to so; Utah. Wy
omirg, ETC.. fine medium and fine, in
the grease, IA to Is; secured, A to 45;
49," The same report also says:
There was more activity in the wool
market last week and the sales were
larger than for any week this year"
Does Mr.. Osborne have access to inside
market repots that are not given to the
public, or is he guilty Of wiyafM miD-
representation?

Talk About Machine Editorials

Talk About Machine Editorials
Talk about forms being sent out from
Cheyenne, we have counted seven diff
ferent democratic papers in various
counties which contained the rot about
Otto Gramm robbing the state. exactly
the same. word for word, and every
Gle. The democratic committee that is
furnishing this campaign slush ought
to remember-the people do, anyway
that the attorney who brought the suit
against Mr.. Gramm and his bondsmen
admitted in his petition hat Mr..
Gramm was not guilty of any inten-
tional fraud or neglect of duty in de-
posting the state money in the Kent
bank, which failed through no fault Of
his. The Kent bank was reputed to be
the soundest financial institution in
Cheyenne up to the moment it closed
its doors. The writer distinctly re-
members that Governor Osborne, when
he went down to Cheyenne to assume
the duties of his Office, deposited a few
hundred dollars of his personal funds
in THAT bank. Why? Because he
thought it was the best bank in the
town to do business with. Besides, we
do not understand that the Gramm
case has anything whatever t. do with
tile present campaign. Mr.. Gramm's
term expired four years ago, and neith-
er he nor any Of his relatives are candi-
dates for Office at this time This fight
is made on Mr.. Gramm to detract atten-
tion from the record OF Luke Voorhees,,
the democratic candidate for treasurer,
who is known to be hopelessly insolv-
ent. Judgments estimated to aggregate
more than $500, 900 are now hanging
over him, and his notes have been sold
at sherif's sale in Cheyenne for less
than 10 cents on the dollar.-Rawlins

Of which Governor Osborne was presa-
dent, was about 1880. But tho in
come Of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment Of Governor Richards adimnis-
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by tho
state board for said year from the
leasing of public lands to settlers, in
this state amounted to $se,9s1.ss. In
addition to this. the state land board
has secured from the United States
government, without additional legis-
lation, al lieu lands, 341,77o acres. for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state = further additional annual
revenue of $17.0ss. while Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state

the county government to the tax pay
ers of Wyoming amounted to the vast
sum Of 1910. s0s.51. AZ q result Of wise
legislation and q republican governor.
and as . result Of the thorough and
painstakhg work Of the present state
examiner. and heartily co-operated in
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state. although the NUMBER Of counties
has been increased, the expenses Of
county government have been decreas-
ed to $500, 09s. 93, or a saving Of over
10000 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 yer a 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 aminis-
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.

1t must be admitted that the above
depositors OF the bank were careful
business men, and that they must have
considered the bank solvent. The pres
ident of the Stock Growers bank, a RI
val institution, testified in court that
the reputation of the bank during 1892
and 1893 and on up until the time OF
its failure was good and added, 81 think
it was REGARDED fully as strong as any
bank in the state up to that time, with
in a few days OF the assignment" and
he further said: II don't think any
general knowledge had gone out to the
public against the bank. l never heard
any rumors."
The point, however, to which we de-
sire to call attention is that the bank
enjoyed the reputation Of being solv-
ent. In fact no one questioned 1t un-
til the end came. and yet the Laramie
Boomerang has repeatedly asserted
that it was generally known to be rot
ten, which is as much as to say that
