THEY DO NOT DENY 1T.

Several days ago The Republican
pointed out that the democrats Of the
state had made it their business to
nominate those whom they considered
their strongest men in the severa,
counties for hold-overs senators, hop
ing in this way to be able to land Mr.
John E. Osborne in the United States
senate as successor to Hon. G. D
Clark. 1t Is a bold game-one entirely
worthy of the brain Of the Rawlini
gentleman. now actually a resident o.
Denver and a close intimate of MI
Bryan. He never puts his money into
a campaign without believing he hal
a show OF getting more than an equiv
alent back. II he could elect Mr.
Holiday In this county, Mr.. Ross IL
Laramie county, MI. Gross in Converts
county and the other hold+over sena
tors from the other counties, he would
be making q mighty long stride toware
Washington.
Republicans are apt to overlook the
fact that the senators elected this fal
have a vote upon this very importan
matter. A senator Of the Unitei
States may have it in his power tt

lection. a policy to which tho rerab4i

boards of this county during the past

nRYHN's POLITICAL CAPITAL

From the beginning OF his political
career up to. the present hour William
Jennings Bryan has had % his working
capital nothing save the empty conten-
ton that the people r not fairly
treated by the representative whom
they place In power. Yet the people,
in spite Of his dismal assurance that
they are not prospecting as they would
under democratic administration, have
gone on from year to year intrusting
the affairs Of government to the re-
publican party. AL of which means
that the people do not trust the democ-
racy any more than they trust the
democratic candidate.
Mr.. Bryan's whole course In politics
is that Of a man who imagines that the
people are fools and easily deceived
with a trick. He helped to saddle
upon them the Wilson-Gorman tariiY OF
1894, which robbed the farmer, closed
thousands OF factories and workshops
and, according to Samuel Gompers,
forced 100000 American wage-earn-
ers out of employment.
Two year, later, as a to re.
lieve them of the hardship which his
free trade policy had brought upon
them, MI. Bryan proposed that the
laboring men still at work should be
require to accept payment OF their
wages in money worth less than halt
its face value. Having helped to make
labor cheap, he consistently demanded
that Il should be paid in cheap money.
This year Mr.. Bryan goes a step fur
ther, seriously proposing that the gov
crnmentshsn guarantee bank deposits,
the effect~ot which would be to tax the
maATwbcshas no deposit for the benefit
OF the more fortunate man who has
such q deposit This proposition Is
Just asif Jones, tho poor man who can
Vol save enough money to insure his
modest home, should be assessed to
help gay the premium Of fire insurance
on the scostlier residence OF his neigh-
bors Robinson.
The ultimate effect Of every policy
advanced by Mr.. Bryan would be to
promote the interests Of the few at
the expense of the many. He would
have the masses consider them,
selves helpless mendicants, yet he per-
sistently advocates measures that
would tax them for the benefit Of spe.
cial classes.

MR.. FUTURE.

Mr.. Osborne's residence in the state
of Wyoming appears to be entirely con
tingent upon the result of this election.
He has maintained a voting residence
at Rawlins for some years past, but his
actual living residence has been in the
city OF Denver. He Is one Of those
gentleman who have made thousands
upon thousands of dollars out of Wyo-
ming only-to discard the state and
take up their residence in what they
believe 10 be q more genial cline.
Doctor Osborne is worth probably in
excess of three hundred thousand dol
lars. Almost every dollar of this great
fortune was made III of the sheep
business during republican admins
trations and because OF a republican
protective tariff. During the time when
his own party was in power he did
little more than to make expenses. He
has now put most Of his money into
gilt-edged real estate and loans. The
income from this real estate would be
affected in all probability by the cleo
ton of Bryan, but the return from
loans might not be seriously interior
ed with, as the decline in the value Of
commodities because Of a free trade
policy would enhance the purchasing
power of his money Wages and com
modities would go down and money up.
In this way, Mr.. Osborne probably fig
ures that he will not be a great loser
by Bryan's election.
The chief ambition of the doctor,
however, is to get into the United
States senate. He has had a taste Of

THE PEOPLE OF LARAMIE.

Since we saw the last of the demo-
cratic city administrations the city Of
Laramie has been getting out OF debt
This thing has been going on for sew
eral years, but more largely of late
than formerly. A sinking fund Is be-
ing established to pay off the sewer
bonds and the other bonds are being
redeemed from year to year as last as
the none qHap be reasonably raised.
This d lis in accord with the
general plan OF Ii republicans Of this
county and city to pay the debts Of the
people, They believe in that sort OF
government. Mayor Spalding has prov
ed a good officer in all that the word
implies. He is progressive, liberal
and capable. More city improvement
has been made under his administra-
tor than under that of any other
mayor for n decade, He is In close
touch with financial agencies, a fact
that Is of value to the city In the
handling of its financial affairs.
In his great work Of city improve
ment Mayor Spaiding has been backed
by an exceptionally good city council,
They have been true to the city's best
interests, making the peoples money
count for something. Messrs. Jackson
Thompson and Soderstrom will make
excellent officers to continue this work
While they stand by the people OF theil
ward they will legislate broadly for the
entire city. AS the affairs of the city
have been managed during he pas
few years, Laramie has had all the ad
vantages of the commission govern
ment, for each man has been willing
to stand for the Improvement Of th'
entire city without showing partialit,
to any particular section or ward.
In the general plan of improvement
the West Side will come in for 1T
share. The mayor and council nov
have under a~dvisement a frst-clasl
| sewer system for that portion OF thu
| city and it will be put in at no distan
| date. The people over there are en-
titled to it and they will be given thei
due.
There Is nothing about the republi
| can city ticket that does anything blu
aid in the general desire of republican
to vote the straight ticket, and tina
should be the rule.

THE GUMsHoE CANVASS.

The house to house still hunt has
the democratic leaders Of this county.
Without sufficient campaign material
to warrant making an open, above
board campaign, they sneak about
under cover and endeavor to persuade
people to promise support to individual
pail emissaries, all kinds of sophistry
and false arguments are used. Libels
are often given out, with the request
not to say l told you this.
This kind of politics has v been
resorted to by any republicans of this
county. They enter upon a political
battle with the banner of republican
ism to the breeze and their candidates
pledged to make a clean canvass upon
merit. If the people cannot be Undue
ed support them without resorting tc
libelous stories and appeals to pre-
JUDGE and passion, then they do moi
care to be supported.
In this year of grace there is not q
a on the republican ticket who
should not receive the entire support
of his party and The Republican be
lieves they all will receive that sup
port. 1t cannot understand why the
democrats hope to have a considerable
number of republicans desert the good
men they have nominated and &c
ovef to the democracy, ven In part
1t Is presumption on the part OF the
democratic leaders to expect anything
of tie kind and republicans should
fatty refuse to be cajoled by palayel

Without a scrap of evidence. with,

about in the slightest degree, the
Boomerang crowd are now assaulting
the business reputation of Morgan f
Knadler. Their assaults are by infer
ence and inuendo, as usual. They
are keen enough to keep outside of the
grasp of the law of libel, Having a
lawyer as an owner, they are cute
enought to keep out of the laws
