the Santa Fe company and many of
the new steel bridges have gone out.
Near Lamy Junction an eighty foot

Two months passed, when one day
sitting in her school room at Lusk, the
scholars just dismissed, Grace was
dreamily recalling the incidents 81
that day near Chugwater. Suddenly a

of her vision from the open door, and

greeted the appearance Of the shock

dated log hut used as q station by the
Cheyenne & Northern road, towards
which she was tripping with her COM
panions on a tour of investigation as
a relief from the long hours of the hot,
dry ride across eastern Wyoming. She
became impressed with the fact that

caused her own to droop.
WAL, I 'spose it's COS it's set in

"Say, Grace" cried Jennie Waterton,
a strongly-built, handsome brunette.
"You seem to have found more than
one Diamond, from the sharpness of
that reply"
Grace blushed deeply as, in response
to this sally, the stranger slowly
drawled:
Wall, diamonds amt a-plenty
about hyar, but of there be two On us.
we be'ent alone on the ring. Jest
now there do seem to be a mighty fine
pearl settin' along with the dia-
monds."
This gallant compliment was fol-
lowed by an awkward but expressive
bend of the body in the direction Of the
group of teachers, who were return
ing to their districts from the annual
examinations just closed at Cheyenne.
Rapidly as girls tongues will roll
came a volley of mirthful shots, which
were responded to with equal readi-
ness Of wit, though with the slowness
Of utterance and monotone Of the
ranchman, unaccustomed as he is to
lively or continued conversation.
Grace, however, had grown strangely
silent, though she was the acknowl-
edged life Of the party, and showed
some signs of embarrassment when
the stranger boarded the train with the
party at the signal from the engine:
An indefinable impression that the
stranger was not all that he seemed
crept over her, and his occasional
lapses from the dialect Of the ranch
to smooth, polished u~tterances, served
to confirm her opinion. The other
girls, however, were delighted with the
advent Of this unexpected wit of the
prairies,s who would serve to shorten
the wearisome journey.
AS the train proceeded the heat of
the car forced the party to the door
way to catch the slight breeze impaired
by the motion Of the train. Grouped
in as comfortable attitudes as the con-
ditions permitted, the party was in
the height Of merriment over a dis,

The "UnleS." :"

MESSRS EDITORS:-In common with
many others | called at the County
Commissioners Office last week to look
at the so-called Union party nomination
papers with a view of learning who the
Republicans are who have deserted the
party to Join hands with the democracy.
| had read in one of the local Democrat
ic papers that large proportion of the
signers were well known Republicans,
and starting with the assumption that
the statement was campaign lie, de-
termined to learn the facts.
haye carefully compared the names
of the persons signing the paper with
the Registry list on file in the Commits
sioners office for 1901, and with the
poll books of the Republican County
Committee for 1900 and 1901, and have
found the following FACTS, which L
challenge any person to truthfully ques-
tion or disprove.
There are two hundred and twenty
one CPD signatures to this nomination
paper; of this number six of the signers
IN their zeal to become "Unies" put
their names down twice, thus reducing
the real number of signers to two hun
dred and fifteen (215). OF this total,
one hundred and nine C09 are known
Democrats and are thus marked on the
poll books Six of the total are known
Prohibitionists and are thus markeG-en
the pUfI DOOks. SeVenty-rWU OF the
number have been known in the past as
Republicans and are so marked in the
poll books; this makes a total of one
hundred and eighty seven $50; of the
remaining twenty-one names, seven are
not on the registry list or the poll books
of the districts where they purport to
reside and their party politics cannot
therefore be determined, and the poll
tics of the remaining fifteen Q5) is not
marked in the poll books of 1900 or 1901,
thus clearly showing that these fifteen
persons have in the past been men
without party" and have been looked
upon by their neighbors and acquaint-
ances as political nothings and nobodys
/ also noticed that of the six persons
who in their zeal to become good
"Unies" had signed the paper twice,
five of them are Democrats living in
Butler Boro, who would probably feel
offended if their names were published
for tie information of the public
Evidently the ''Unies' Were some
what scary about making the affidavits
filed as required by the Act of Assem-
bly, because | observed that they were
put to the dire necessity and indelicate
act of calling upon the Democratic can
didate for District Attorney, who is al
so the ''Unie' candidate, to make the
affidavit nominating himself name
so appears on the paper.
This is the make up of the nomina
tion paper that is now held out to the
loyal Republicans of Butler county, and
they are asked to desert the party whose
policies have made our Nation the
greatest on earth. Tney are asked to
repudiate the party of Lincoln, Gar
field and Mckinley. and follow the
leadership OF Bryan, Guffy and george
graham.

The .sUnion" Party.

A new party has been born. Who its
parents are does not appear to the cas-
nal observer. It's objects however are
not concealed, and what it seeks to do
is openly proclaimed. Its sole purpose
is to defeat the Republican candidates,
one and all, and to elect the Democrats
and disgruntled Republicans on the
Democratic ticket, instead. The Dem.
ocrats ask the Republicans tohelp them
to defeat their own candidates. Strip
ped of all its disguises it is as plain as
the noon day SUM-
The Democrats under the guise OF
Unionists propose a trade, a corrupt
bargain and sale. They say you vote
for our candidate for District Attorney.
Mr. Henninger, and we will vote for
Mr.. Graham who was defeated on three
different occasions at the Republican
primaries for Clerk of Courts. and
whose name we have now placed on our
ticket
Mr.. Graham. by accepting this place
has gone over to the Democratic or I'm
ion party. which is one and the same on
this occasion, in so far as results are
concerned. The Democrats want Re
publican votes to help elect their candl-
dates, but they do not even promise to
vote for a single Republican. They
want the whole hog.
Some good Republicans without con-
lidering the insulting features OF the
proposed trade, for time received the
proposition with some degree of favor,
but upon calm reflection they see the
unfalrness OF the proposition and now
decline to lend their aid and assistance
TO its consummation
Republicans will do well by voting
for the regularly nominated candidates
of their party when such nominations
have been fairly made. as in the present
instance, and thus uphold the founda-
ton principles of the Republican party
Besides this, all know that the I'm
ion" party is mushroom growth. to
serve temporary purpose, and then
fall into, as it fell out of, the arms of
the Democratic party, where 1t belongs
and where it will die.
We therefore call upon all Republi-
cans to keep clear Of all Union or Dem
ocratic party promises, turn your back
upon them and go steadily ahead, keep
ing step to the party of Lincoln, Grant
and Mckinley, and thus uphold and en-
courage the administration of President
Roosevelt.
You can never mend the moral per-
versions Of church or a state or politi-
cal party by breaking away from it
Independent political movements in
Pennsylvania have never brought about
any practical results, except to put the
Democratic party in power.
Usually the object of such movements
is one of two things, personal advantage
or revenge. The creed of the sham re-
former is: Put the other fellow out and
put me in.
Every Republican should go to the
election and vote the straight ticket and
thereby register his confidence in the
principles advocated by his party and
his condemnation of its enemies.
