CHEYENNE, WYOMING, MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1869.
That “ Address.”
Cheyenne, August 9, 18G9.
Mr. Editor :—An advertisement
appears in yesterday’s Argus,
signed by several individuals, and
purporting to Instruct the Democrats
of Wyoming as to their duties in the
coming election. The so-called
“address” is chiefly noticeable as
being a tissue of inaccurate political
statements and sophomoric twaddle
about the past, present and future
of what was once u Democratic par
ty. It vilifies the administration
because of the delay in sending Fed
eral officials to the Territory, when
it is matter of record that a Demo
cratic President failed to nominate
incumbents of the Territorial offices
until just before the Senate 1 adjourn
ed, and after that body, having the
interests of the country at heart, had
resolved to confirm no more ap
pointments.
Had the nomination of Hon.
M. F. Pleasants and his associates
been sent to the Senate three days
earlier, they would have been con
firmed, az.d thus the wheels of gov
ernment in Wyoming would have
been speedily set in motion. The
delay is chargeable entirely to a
Democratic executive, elected to the
high office of President, not by t lie
votes of Republicans, but by the
Democratic bullet of Booth tlie as
sassin.
