That a large proportion Of Wyoming
Democracy will refuse to stand for the
action of the Sheridan convention, In
nominating a Republican to head the
state ticket, is becoming more evident
every day. When the action was taken,

ers of the state. left the convention
hall. He was followed by the entire
johnson county delegation n many
other delegates. State Senator Qeorse
Cross Of Converse county was another
prominent Democrat to leave the hall
ana refuse to sanction the sale Of
the democratic nomination to Carey.
The latest addition to this number
ia Judge William l.. Kuykendan OF
Saratoga. Judge Kuykendall has been
a Democratic leader In wyoming for
thirty-nine years, and was prominently
mentioned as the party candidate Tor
governor on that ticket this fall. He
stands at the head of the Odd Fellows'
lodge OF the United States. 10 high In
Masonic councils, n has a large per
sonal following Of Republicans In the
southern part Of the state. II was
generally admitted that, with Judge

nominee. the Republicans would have
had a hard fight to elect their man.
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES steamroller
eliminated the Judge, but that II
has not squelched his Democracy
ia evidenced by the following ex.
tracts from an interview he gave the
Cheyenne Tribune on Thursday. stand
ing squarely for party integrity and
party principles. Judge kuykendaii oe-
clares his intention Of taking the
stump this fall In support Of William
e. Mullen, so bitterly is he opposed to
the Osborne-Carey-Irvine combination
which a disrupted the Democratic
organization of Wyoming.
The following extracts are taken
from Judge Kuykendall's interview In
the Cheyenne Tribune:

with a few others, misreoresented the
sentiment Of the loyal Democrats Of
tho state, and especially those OF Car
bon county, by working the INV
lion at Sheridan into ignoring Demo.
cratic principles and nominating Judge
Carey for the governorship.
I'm view of the fact hat Judge
Carey had announced his intention to
run as an Independent candidate for
governor, regardless Of the action OF
either the Republican or Democratic
convention, the Democrats had an op-
portunity at. Sheridan to nominate q
straight Democratic ticket with the
best chances for success at the polls
the party has had for years. But the in
terests of the party were sacrificed
to suit the personal interests of Carey.
Osborne and a few others, and the
chance OF a lifetime for the Democrat
ic party was thrown to the winds.
