(Stoves, The Democrat bent its entire energies toward the advancement of the entire Democratic party of Cheyenne It is prone now to feel that the Democrats of the western part of the county have allowed themselves to be led around'by the nasal organ. They have given heed to the babblings of those who fain would forever keep np a township fight They deserted the shrine of Democracy for that of Date. They have joined issues with an element with which they should nover fuse. They should have stood by the straight Democratic ticket, and not have joined issues with a faction conceived simply to- perpetuate a couuty-seat tight.

Respectfully, C. B. JEWELL. NOTES AND COMMENTS. We do not feel at liberty to strongly criticize our brethren of the west side, yet it appears, as the poet observes, they "Woulds't not play false.

And yet woulds't wrongly win." Miller's withdrawal from the field leaves the contest where it belongsin the east side. The candidates are both worthy men, but there is no reason why Democrats should bolt their party man. There is no reason to doubt that John Elliott will be elected county treasurer by a handsome majority. The opposition to him in the convention was nominal, and the nnamimity of spirit manifested there may be ta ken as a guarantee of his popularity. 'Brenaman and a few co-adjutors of the west side ciiaue have worked with a diligence and persistency, a3 writer remarks, "worthy of a better cause" for the success of a faction, and in opposition to the larger area and population of the county.

It is to Mr Miller's credit to say that he would have none of it. The fact that Hen. E. J. Turner, C.

A. Norton, et found it necessary to make a tour of Cheyenne and the counties adjacent to look after their fences, shows the growing importance. in a political as well as commercial way, ot tins district. The politicians of the State have got to recognize the Northwest. They must now make some concessions to that part of the Northwest calculated to become the granary of the State.

There appears to be a prospect of a lively fight between the Republican and Democratic candidates for com missioner of the first district. The Democrat cannot conscientiously say aught detrimental to the Republican nominee but would enjoin Democrats to stand by their candidate. The with drawal of Mr. Miller has removed Wano's interest in the contest, and it can now be fought on party principles Mr. Bacon is worthy the entire strength of his party, and his election is assured with such a vote.

The Democrat is authorized to an nounce that Mr. J. W. Miller declines to accept the candidacy for commission er that the independent convention held at Wano last Saturday, endeavored to force upon bim. While there is no personal objection to Mr.

Miller, The Democrat feels that the withdrawal is a very sensible move upon his part. He has been for some time identified with the interests of Wano, and to seek election as commissioner in the first would largely augment the bitterness of the campaign. In the endorsement by the indepen dent convention of Saturday last, of the candidates from the west side, regardless of party allegiance, Wano has shown the hand she intends to bluff on. The Democrat labored earnestly in the interest of party lines, but the factionists of the west side were able to exercise an undue influ ence over the primaries and succeeded in placing in nomination almost an entire side ticket -5, The Democrats at large an equal divis-sion of the offices. The action of the independent convention goes to show that the whole was a cunningly devised scheme.

Our brethren of the west side did not act in good faith, They endeavored by finesse to accomplish what they scarcely dared do in an open fight. The wire workers of the west side have brought on again the town-! spip Sght. not yet been filled. Perhaps it will not be for some little time yet, but before it is we take the liberty of again presenting the name of Judge Thomas A. Sherwood cf Missouri.

Mr. Cleveland has just returned from a somewhat extensive and no doubt satisfactory visit to the west. He has seen the immensity of its population and its resourses. He has seen cities, each not a generation old and yet a metropolis. He has seen an energy that has circumvented aiwilderness and a faith that has removed mountains, ne has seen on one hand the lowly cabins of the pioneers and on the other palaces fit for kings.

He has seen in it a land par excellence of giants and surprises. A land of colossal growth and a phenomenal Aland that is capable of 'all sorts of achievement and the accomplishment of all sorts of purposes. Then why not, Mr. President, give it a judge on the supreme bench? Why not appoint to the vacancy that now exists Judge Thomas A. Sherwood, at present a judge of the supreme court of Missouri? He has every qualification that could be required to fill such an important position acceptably.

He has high courage, spotless honor, acknowledged ability and twenty years' experience. Just turned of 50., he is but now in the full vigor of a rugged manhood and the full maturity of a splended intellect. He was reared in a political school which taught first of all devotion to the constitution. He would cleave to the right though it carried him to a scaffold. His state, one of the keystone arches of the Democratic party, asks his appointments en masse.

Why not make it, Mr. President? Kansas City Times. 63The new election laws of Kansas provides that all printed tickets must, hereafter, have a space left at least one-eighth of an inch in width after the name of each candidate. When a ballot with.a designated heading eon-tains printed or pasted there instead of another a name not found on the regular ballot having such heading, such names shall be regarded by the judges as having been placed there for the purpose of fraud, and shall not be counted for the name so found. Any person printing or causing to be printed or pasted ballots as described, or a ballot that omits any name found on the regular ticket, or any person who handles or distributes such fraudulent ticket, shall be deemed guilty of a mis demeanor, and on conviction will be liable to a fine of not lesi than 525 nor more than $200, or to be imprisoned in the county jail not less than sixty days, And whoever furnishes an elector who cannot read with a ticket, informing him that it contains a name different from these written or printed thereon or who fraudulently or deceitfully changes the ballot on anv elector is al so liable to a fine of S300 and ninetv days in the county jail.

At the election this fall and at all elections hereafter held in this state printed tickets must be exactly what their heading proclaims them to be That is, a ticket headed "Republican ticket'? must have printed thereon on ly the names of the Republican nom inees, and a ticket headed "Democratic ticket" must have printed thereon only the names of the Democratic nominees, etc. The law does forbid scratching with pencil or ink. Any elector can scratch any or every name printed on a ticket and write instead the name of any other person or persons he chooses to vote for. The law was simply intended to prevent deception at the polls by means of spurious tickets, which were not what their heading indicated them to he. At every election for years past, hundreds of voters have been deceived by means of printed or pasted tickets.

When a printed ticket is scratched with a lead pencil or pen and other names written on its face the change is apparent at once, and therefore no voter can be deceived. But the most intelligent mea can be and have been deceived by pasted tickets, or by tickets falsely printed. The election judges cannot count such spuriously printed tickets, and any person printing or circulating such spurious printed or pasted tickets is guilty of misdemeanor, and subject to fine and imprisonment.

The word independent was a misK.imer. The convention was simply a lVano convention a convention in which principle and decency were sacrificed for township prejudice. The whole affair was the outcome of the effort of the wily Bren-aman, aided by a few dupes.

None but Wano candidates were acceptable to the convention, and the principles which are supposed to govern parties were completely ignorant. As a result, the convention endorsed the men of either of the other tickets who happened to reside on the west side. The object of the conspirators who fathered the convention was accomplised. A complete west side ticket is now in the field. Fannie Daily committed suicide at McCook, on Saturday night by shooting herself in the brain with a 38 calibre revolver.

The lady had only been married about 3 weeks, and the cause of her rash act was a little lover tilt which she and her husband had that evening. The husband is grief stricken over the sad affair. "Tke new walk, says a New York paper, is neither graceful nor pretty. It is a kind of waddle. The would-be fashionable young lady now walks as if she had no joints or firmness to her.

Every part of her anatomv seems to shake and wiggle as she goes. She comes down hard first on one foot and then on the other, seeming to rest her body alternately on each of her nether limbs. Her cheeks wabble and so do her arms. I don't know any better way to describe it than to say she waddles like a fat duck. I don't know who is the originator of' this fashion, but it is evidently going to be the thing this winter.

All the girls put it on with their fail bonnets, and all over the streets you can see the little dears trying their best to be graceful in their efforts to be up to the latest "fad." SThe prohibition banquet given to the new Leavenworth editors Thursday night, displayed the shocking fact that the beverages on the bill of fare were Java coffee and green tea. The first may be excused, for a little black coffee, even at night, is serviceable in the promotion of digestion. But to offer green tea oversteps all the limits of propriety. A cup of green tea is mare to be feared and avoided than four cups of wine. No more pitiable wreck of the nervous system can be seen than a man in his cups of green tea, and the ladies of the W.

C. T. U. of Kansas should see to it at once that no more nerve-shattering tea is introduced at prohibition banquets, unless it be the cold tea so popular among great which contains an antidotal ingredient of a soothing and reliable nature. Ka nsas City Times.

"The secretary of the Board of Agriculture has recently published the returns of the census taken March 1st, 1887, which shows that the population of the state at that date was 1,518,255, an increase of 111,487 during the year since March 1st, 1SS6. In 1880, the national census showed that the population of 70,801 inhabitants less than the United States census of 1880. The decrease was probably apparent rather than real and was due to the greater accuracy with which the Federal census was taken at that time. The cen sus of 1882 showed 33,147 less popula tion than in 1880. By the state enu meration the population of Kansas March 1881 was 925,796.

Last March the population was 1,518,255. This shows an increase in the population of the state in six years, of 592,459 or 64 per cent. This growth has, few, pari aneis in me nisiory or a country remarkable for rapid increase of popula tion. "Noble L. Prentis, of the Newton Bepublican, has the following: "In this great State, one third larger than England, there are bound to be towns and cities.

How many, is not yet de termined; but a State soon to number two millions of people, there will be many villages, several large towns, and a number of large cities. Proba bly the sites of these are nearly all de termined, but there is room for some additions to the list. There will be a difference in towns. A town is not essentially different from an individual. As a rule, a liar or a hog or a cut-throat or a kicker comes to grief in his business; and it is so with a town.

A town that has no real advantages, and is populated by robbers, may have a boom, but it will also have a backset. A town that is liberal but reasonable, enterprising but not crazy, where the business men are united and stand by the town, keep up its streets, its schools, its newspapers, itsthurches. talk for it advertisA it. believe in it the lots in that town are as good as "gold in a London bank." Any Doom that depends on the suc cess of any one enterprise, any boom that maybe called a "time boom'1 is a detriment A boom should be continuous. As fast as one plan is carried out another should be devised.

In printer's parlance, there should always be "something on the hook." i Pomatums, Cologne, Bay Rum, Etc PAINTS, OILS Linseed Carbon Castor LubricatinglOils Axle Grease, Turpentine, Every kind of Painters' supplies PAUST BRUSHES, DRYERS, VANISHES, PUTTY, SAtMD PAPER.
