STATE CONVENTION
ADJ0URNS FOR DAY

on hand when the convention is called
to order at III O'Clock. The missing
delegations are from Sheridan, Yves
ton. Big Horn and Crook counties, and
form a large part of the convention.
The convention for the Third judi.
cial district. composed of Carbon,
Sweetwater and Uinta counties, will
meet at the Manager at 9 o'clock and
nominate a candidate for judge of the
district in place of Judge Craig. 1t is
believed there will be no opposition
to the denomination of Judge Craig.
The hall is very prettily decorated
and the whole town has a gala appear
anca, the only thing to mar the general
good feeling being a bulletin posted by
a Second street merchant to carry
home a souvenir of Laramie and vote
the democratic ticket" AS he is one
of the leading members of the prohi-
bition party, the incident has a double
significance, in the eyes Of many.
Everybody else is glad the delegates
are present in the city, and Is vieing
with his neighbor in making their stay
pleasant and leaving a good impress
sion of the city on their minds.
There was a wreck on the Burling-
ton road, this side of Sheridan, last
night, blocking the line and prevent
ing connection being made with the
road to Cheyenne. so that the dele
gates from the northern part of the
state were unable to be present this
afternoon. The delegations from Sher-
idan. Johnson, Big Horn and other
counties in that section are thus tied
up, and it is not certain just when
they will reach the city. Regret Is
expressed on all sides, but as the &C
cident was an unavoidable one, no
body is inclined to rail at fate In the
matter.
There is a general air of hustle on
the streets and in the Hobbies of the
hotels that is refreshing. The trains
from the asst this afternoon were met
by the reception committee and the
band, and the incoming delegates and
visitors were hurried away to their
quarters in the different sections of
the city. The trains last night brought
large numbers Of guests, and they
were quartered at the hotels, being
made entirely comfortable. The del.
egations from Carbon. Sweetwater and
uinta counties came on the night
trains, Il all during the forenoon they
were shown about the city, being
taken to the university, where there
was a drill by the four companies of
cadets. reviewed by the visitors. The
delegates were shown through the
buildings and introduced to President
Lewis n members of the faculty.
There vas a lively crowd at the
rooms OF the Albany club, where they
were given everything in sight, the
keys to the place, as well as that of
