adultery. Mrs. Christiancy in her affidavit
says that her financial condition is such rs to
render it impossible for her to attend the
taking Of such dispositions or to pay

witness has been in New York for five
months, and one as to the inability of his

WILSON'S MISSION.

THE ARGUMENTS OF THE OKLAHOMA AM
BASSADOIs
speetat Dtspatea to The Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Dec 18.-Dr. Robert M.
Wilson, of Jefferson, Texas, but ostensibly
from Oklahoma, Indian Territory. arrived
in Washington to-day as the accredited agent
of the settlers now camped at atCaldwell, kas.,
with ample powers to treat with the United
States Government respecting the proposed
Eruption of white settlers into the Govern
ment lands known as Oklahoma DR.. Wilson
presents picturesque appearance in white
sonlbrero, heavy blue flannel shirt with no
collar. diamond studs to match an immense
solitaire ring, and full beard a foot and a
half long. DR.. Wilson says in effect
that he has come to represent the
case of his people to the President first, from
whom he has something to hope; Congress,
whose ear he has less hope of catching, and
the public generally, whose sympathy he
feels sure of securing. The Territory which
the settlers have in their minds eye Is only
separated from Southern Kansas by strip
of Indian reservation ffty-seven miles in
width, but they dare not cross this in the
face of what Dr.. Wilson styles the opposition
of the Indian Ring. This Ring is composed
Of army officers and contractors, who
make a good thing out OF the
tribute they are now able to levy on the herds
of large cattle-dealers who are permitted to
cross the Territory. This tribute amounts
to about half-a-dollar on each head Of stock,
and the aggregate amounts to large sum
eacll year. Poor men, however, are strictly
forbidden to set foot within the charmed
circle. The 14,00O. 600 acres of arabic lands,
says the Doctor, which is held by the Govern
mcnt, and from which the Indians thenl-
selves have been debarrcd access for several
years past by legislation attached to
Appropriation bills, is the God
given heritage of the people who care to go
in and possess it, and 1t the Government per-
sists iii its denial Of these rights they will be
assumed in spite of such denial. although an
Indian war follow as consequence. Dr.
Wilson exhibited certificate Of colonization
signed by D. l.. Payne as President and W.
4. Shuman as Secretary. The certificate
simply sets. forth that, in .consldera-
ton Of the payment by A. 3. OF 81,
he thereby becomes member OF
the Oklahoma Colony, and is en-
titled to all its benefits and protection,
and to an equal voice in all matters pertain"
ing to its local government The cOlonists
now at Caldwell number some 500 or co., and
all are well armed either with heavy double
barrel shotguns or rifles of the best pat
tern, besides small arms of every description.
1--WE do not intend to give it out that We are
armed for any sinister purpose. explained
DIR. Wilson, ~sbut on such an enterprise. and
in q wild country like Oklahoma, we think
the possession Of arms measure OF precat1-
tion, and, moreover, these are essential In
procuring the means Of livelihood where
hunting Is one OF the leading 1ndnstles:

HOW THE DEMOCRATS LOST NEW YORK

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune.
NEw YoRK. Dec. 18.-John Kelly has
written a letter denying that he was re-
sponsible for the defeat OF Gen. Hancock
After giving table of figures to show Re-
publican gains, and Democratic losses in the
State, lie undertakes to demonstrate where
the blame for the Democratic oyertbrowlles.
lie says: ''1t will be seen that The total
Democratic vote OF the State at the late cleo
tion was GA I'll. gain Of 1852 on the vote
OF 1876. The Democratic vote OF this city
was 12S,0l5,Aag1in of 10, 49, on the vote
OF 1s76. thus it appears that while
the Democratic vote of the city, which in
1876 was HAS increased 10, 4S5. The DEM
ocratic vote Of the rest OF the State, which in
1879 was 409. 41a. increased only ,365. III this
city the Democratic gains was over9 per
cent, while in the State it was only a little
over
ONE-HALF OF l TER CENT
A gain Of . per cent throughout the State
would have elected Hancock by handsome
majority. 1t Is plain frum these figures
where the only effective work Of the recent
campaign, was done. and where the RESPONSE
biIity for Gen. Hancock's failure rests.
"a close inspection of the tables 1ocalizes
the Democratic failure in striking manner
o. the sixty counties in the State, Mr.. Til
den had complete control OF the
Democratic organizations in forty-nlne. lie

the county organizations ever since. In this

grown up a strong Democratic element, COM
posed ct men who cared more for the party
and its principles than for Mr.. T11den, and in
these counties in spite OF the rcpresslng In
fiuence of Mr.. 1ilde1's management there

Instead Of taking advantage Ut the popu-

ton to perfect arrangements for successful

fused 10 cal! Convention at all until
forced TO do SO, and then deferred
the dates until 1t was practically useless.
The campaign was conducted with lassitude
and half-hearteduess, instead of being
pushed with rigor aud aggrcssiyeness. Sur

organization was an arctic chill"
Mr.. Kelly says in conclusion that tho fight
