Progressive Democratic Congress-.

When the democratic congress gets thru putting it's free trade
policy into effect on meats, wool, and other Wyoming products, some
of our good republican friends will wonder why they voted the democ.
ratio ticket last fall. Our stiff necked friends in the party will also
have a little time for reflection, and they can put their time in to
good advantage by looking into some of the progressive legislation
and policies that the republican party in this state will adopt or 90
under. The republican party a a grand old party. but wban
some of the leaders began to imagine that organization, and not prin.
cipe, made the party, the rocks began to be seen in all directions
In the meantime, and while the old ship is being baed out and a few
new phnks put in and the crew changed, Mr.. Wilson and his Merry
band of office seekers ar going to have the time of their lives. 1t
will be one grand exhibition of ground and lofty tumbling for Mace
and there will not be a net for some of the gentlemen. MI. Wilson
is going to make his own appointments.-State journal.
