The question, "Resolved, that ' ex-convicts should have the right of suffrage," will bo debated. t J. A.

This union was fbleseed with four children, two sons who 8umve,ancf 'two daughters who have been' buried with their mother, where the father's remains are so soon to be laid away. At the beginning of the late war Mr. Wym'an went to 'Alexander, Virginia, taking sctive part in the service of the Union.

For distin guished efficiency and bravery he was appointed general master mechanic of motive power in his comnanv. which position he filled till the close of the war. Returning to Fitcbburg, Mass., Mr. Wymaa remained scarcely two weeks at hiB old home, and -impelled by his ac quired love of progress and action be came west to Omaha' when tho Union Pacific railroad was in process of con struction. He served among the first engineers on this road. In 1867 he came to North Platte, where he made hiB home continuously up to a short time ago. He was possessed of a public spirit, becoming the second postmaster of this town, and its mayor for two yoars. He served at one time as lay roader in the Unitarian church during his residence here. For the last eight years he has made his home most of the time with his son, Chas. H. Wyman.
