Keynote Struck.

Governor Osborne struck the keynote
when in a fOrceful speech on taking
the platform as permanent chairman
at the evening session he paid high
tribute TO the late Governor Richards.
Governor CLatterton, he said amid
cheers. is also clean, able, fearless, in
dependent and true. The Democrats in
this campaign will make no votes by
assailing Governor ChattertOn's admin
istration. Political tricksters could got
serve him. He believed that murderers
should be executed. but his integrity
cost him his nomination. The Repub-
lican bosses who run the machinery
could not handle him, and so they cast
him out But tie voters OF Wyoming
will never give their sanction to such
a nefarious piece of work.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1904-09-08
Mask Torn OFF.

In Governor Osborne's speech he tore
the mask OF hypocrisy from Warren,
Mondell, Brooks and the other Repub-
'lican leaders, exposed tLeir record on
silver, the trust and tariff issues, and
pointed out how the people of Wyo-
ming suffer at the hands of criminal
corporations.
The speech was n masterpiece and
created a profound impression.
1t is impossible tonight 70 forecast
the work of the convention. The COM
bination that the Democrats here favor
and one that it is felt would carry the
state is John +. Osborne for governor;
Judge s II. Corn. the present incum-
bent. for justice Of the supreme court
and T. 5. Taliaferro, the Rock Springs
attorney. for congress.
An early adjournment was taken to-
night because the citizens of Rock
Springs had prepared an elaborate ban

was the social event Of the year.

recently visited his place east of Lew

Il did not see any of these people

couraged at this time by the present
situation.

SPECIAL AGENT APPOINTED
Latest Action in the Matter of the
Boise Assay Office

telegram was received in this city
this morning says the Evening Capital
News, by gentleman high up in the
councils of the republican party from
an official in Washington to the effect
that a special representative of the
treasury department was now on his
way to Boise and would reach here
Thursday or Friday to take charge of
the United States assay office Just
what this latest move means is open
to several conjectures. One is that 1t
means that Mr.. Woolley is no longer
in the race. and another is that is sim
ply means the treasury department has
concluded to take charge of affairs I'M
til Mr. Woolley's name has been sent
to the senate and his nomination con-
flrmed.
The situation is becoming compli
Gated Chief Clerk Robinson received
a telegram from the treasury depart
ment yesterday afternoon notifying
him that he had been placed in charge
of the office. This morning he Received
a telegram asking him if he would
luIiilSii Il pOnu III the sum VI oGooVV,
the amount of bond required of the as
saver. The friends of Mr.. Robinsin
believe that this means that the treas
ury department has become disgusted
with the whole matter and will disre-
gard the politicians and promote the
chief clerk to the important position of
assayer.
1t Is now generally regarded that
there has been no assayer in charge
of the office since the special session
of the senate adjourned December Z.
The business of the office has been car
ried on however, with the chief clerk
in charge and so far as those having
business to transact at the office have
noticed no difference.
The notice to Mr.. Robinson to take
official charge of the office, and the
telegram received this morning that a
special representative of the treasury
department would reach here in a day
or two to take charge. has set the
politicians guessing. Mr.. Woolley is
expected in the city tonight when some
additional light may be thrown on the
subject His friends are still conf
dent that he will be appointed as it is
claimed he has completely exonerated
himself from every charge made
against him.
