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 their 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 q masterpiece and
created a profound impression
1t is impossible tonight To 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 5. T. Corn. the present incum-
bent, for justice of the supreme court,
and T, S. Taliaferro, the Rock Springs
attorney, for congress.
