Deputy police commissioner Waldo
OF this city has got back from Eu-

he has brought with him is that the
New York police shall wear caps like
those OF the French and German pol
icemen instead OF helmets. The caps
may be nobbier, perhaps, but the
helmets afford protection against
blows and missiles, and it is feared
that doing away with them may in

AWAITING THE ISSUE,

1t is hard to conceive what the dem,
ocrats will put forward as an issue in
the present campaign. Can they con.
sistently oppose the 'stand-pat" policy
of the republicans? Every profitable
industry in this state depends to n
greater or lesser degree upon the pro-
tective tariff, the higher the better.
Hides cannot be reduced without CIV
ing a direct blow to the cattle indus
try. Wool cannot be lowered without
affecting the leading industry of the
state. Coal cannot be tempered with
without jeopardizing the wages of a
large number of our citizens, and iron
needs the tariff for the benefit of the
iron-workers.
Who is there that would be benefited
by tinkering with the tariff? What
Wyoming democrat would be a cent
richer under a policy of free trade?
Would the democracy of this state or
any member thereof reap n direct or
indirect benefit by having Wyoming's
leading products put on the free list?
Ask the ~flockmasters what they
think of returning to the policy adopt
ed by the democrats under Grover
Cleveland's last administration.
, 1906-09-11
WHAT WILL THEY DO?

Wyoming democrats are in a guam
dairy as to the proper course for them
to pursue in the present political cam
paign. Many of the leaders have advo-
Gated no state ticket, while others
claim 1t would be suicidal not to make
some sort of a showing. At the pres
ent time there is no organization and
consequently little hope of being able
to make any kind of Roadway against
the splendid state ticket nominated
by the republican party. The most
logical thing for the democrats to do,
and this is probably what they will do,
to do the best it can without any spec
ial organization. In this way, it is ar
sued by some of the leaders, the party
will not be entirely abandoned and
there will be some sort of organiza-
ton left for the future.
The convention to be held at Chey-
enne Thursday of this week promises
to be a proxy affair, without interest,
motive or enthusiasm. 1t will simply
go through the motions necessary to
preserve party integrity. if it can Sc,
cure enough candidates to fill out the
ticket. Indeed, it has beeon suggested
by numerous democrats that lots be
cast for the ones to be condemned to
defeat.
For many years there has been only
n way by which Wyoming democrats
could succeed in the election of their
ticket and that was through republi-
can contention and fractional strife.
This year there is none of that sort OF
thing, hence the gloomy outlook.

Matrimonial Arithmetic.

my son." said the old gentleman
in his fatherly way, you have a
good deal to learn about matrimonial
arithmetic. AS you say, your salary
is sufficient for two, and you think
you clinch the argument when you
add that one and one make two.
That's all right in business, but mat
rimonial arithmetic is n of the most
confusing things that ever happened.
In the first place, the minister takes
the two of you and makes you one.
That would seem to make it easier
for you, but the history of the world
shows that, figuring matrimonially.
one and one make any old number up
to twelve or sixteen, and l believe
there are records that show a higher
total. In view of this. can you make
the requisite showing with yoIr pres
ent salary and future p~rospects?"

THE NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

A conference of one hundred promi-
nent democrats from the upstate coun.
ties of New York was held in Albany
the other day to take action to pre-
vent William r. Hearst from obtain,
ing control of the democratic state
convention, which will assemble in Buff
falo on the twenty-hfth of this month
to nominate, among others, a candl.
date for governor of the state. Edward
NJ. Shepard of New York city presid-
ed, and the meeting was addressed by
District Attorney Jerome.
The conference declared with empha,
sis against the tendency toward social
ism which marks the Hearst move
ment 1t also condemned all efforts
to obtain control Of the party organi.
cation by purchase, by intimidation or
by hired agents. This was a direct at
tack upon Hearst, although he was not
mentioned by name in the resolutions.
A committee was appointed to present
these resolutions to different county
conventions and to secure, if practical
bic, the choice of independent delega,
tons to the state convention.
Much may be looked for from a con.
ference like this. 1t commands the at
tention OF the thinking men OF the
state who will be awakened to a sense
of the Importance of taking action
against Hearst and his followers lest
they slip in and capture the conven.
ton while the s~entinels sleep at their
posts. Once aroused, the democrats
of New York will never nominate
Hearst for S % important an Office as
governor. To do SO would be to place
their party upon record as having en-
dorsed not only him, but also the prin-

Heartily Endorsed

The warmest words of endorsement
come from all parts of the state for the
excellent state ticket nominated by the
republicans at the Casper convention.
There is abundant reason for the kind
words as the ticket is composed entire
ly of men who have proven themselves
to be worthy and capable in official po-
sitions. The loyal and united support
of the party and the confidence of the
people in the ability, integrity and
high character of the nominees prom
ises a most sweeping victory at the
polls.-Newcastle News-Journal.

The Best Ever

~ rs
The delegated representatives Of the
republican party Of Wyoming in con
~vention assembled at Casper on the
29th ult. discharged the duties their
compatriots imposed on them SPLEEN
didly, and a splendid ticket is the re-
suit. 1t is the best republican state
ticket in our humble opinion that we
recall since Wyoming was admitted in
to the sisterhood of the union. There
may be a few disappointed ones be-
cause northern Wyoming received
small recognition in being accorded
but one office on the ticket, that of
state treasurer, but we do not antici-
pate that they will cut much figure,
but will be found in the ranks from
now on fighting for victory, which now
seems a %foregone conclusion. 1t has
been an open political secret for some
time that the only hope of victory that
animated the democrats of the state
was the probability Of a split in the re
publican party upon sectional and 9th
er grounds more or less trivial. The
ticket named is so strong in every par
%ticular that all danger of a rupture has
been averted. The republican party of
Wyoming with confidence in its lead
ers will go forward in solid phalanx to
victory, and its victory will mea a
continuance of progress and prosper
ity in our grand young commonwealth.
