National and Union.

If YOU ask the ordinary voter
what is the distinctive difference
between The National and Union
parties he will have some difficulty
IN telling. II he is an intelligent
thinker Of the Union party he
knows that his ideas Of government
are very much the same as the
ideas Of like men in the National
party. and he don't clearly see his
difference Of position from such
National men. The National
thinker is apt to feel that he does
not differ in bis real opinions from
the Union progressive man. In
the same way the anti-progressive
elements Of both parties, composed
more largely of full-blood, con-
servaiive lovers of the past, see no
special difference Of opinion in
each other. IL seems to both sets
of men that their ideas are alike,
and you viii hear that there is no
special issue between the two par
ties: that il i merely a matter Of
this set Of men or that set OF men

HOY. r. BUNCH.

The candidate of the National
Party for the position Of Assistant
Principal Chief, is man of unusu-
ally fine appearance and of the
strongest character. He is tall and
straight and compactly built, with
handsome, regular features and n
keen eye. Intellectually he has
no superior among the full-blood
people, and has an extended ex-
pcrience in our government affairs.
1t is earnestly to be hoped that
those who endorse the principles
cf the National Platform will give
their solid support to Mr.. Bunch,
because he endorses correct prln-
eiples of government and because
composed, rs our community Is, OF
full-bloods and half-brecds, 1t is
only right that the 2nd chief should
be in the executive Office as rep
resentative Of that portion Of the
people. 1t is very well known that
from the last election Of two half-
breed Chiefs that an argument was
framed to unite the full-bloods on
the two full-blood candidates at
this election. The fact was Wm.
Penn Adair and d, W. Bushyhcad
were elected at the last election be-
cause of their superior personal
qualifications. If they had both
been fnll-bloods they would have
both been elected all the same. 1t
was their qualifications, not their
being half-breeds that elected them,
and this is the test tor office.
QUALIFICATION, not RACE. We are
full-blood Cherokees before the law
we are all equal under our law and
constitution. Tho fullest blooded
man in America is entitled to no
more rights than the halfest breed
ed man, whether one or the other
be National or Union, Ross OF
Downing, or Fenien; a Baptist or q
Methodist, Quaker or a Norman,
and he'll get our vote according to
his qualifications alone. Mr..
Bunch's qualifications are:
1st, He openly endorses and adj
vocates good principles as set forth
in the National Platform.
2nd, He has lots Of good strong
horse sense and is open to reason
andis an upright, moral man.
Ord, lie will satisfy the desire Of
more than half the Nation TO have
competent full-blood in the ex-
ecutiye Office.
4th, He is a man Of mature years
of great experience and 4 man Of
much stamina.
5th, He is an earnest advocate OF
Hon. d. w. Buchyhead, and sue
cessfully resisted the dangerous
efforts Of demagogues TO unite full
blood againtt half-breed.

the Executive Office, and ask for
some document Of great importance

crammed in. You are told just

important to them, and if the Exc

The thorough organization of the
Executive Department is the chiel

management is simply an incident

POLITICAL.

There are indications that President
Arthur intends to stop the distribution of
official patronage in Virginia in the interest
of Senator Malone.
Silas w. Burt, who last year refused
similar position on the National Civil Ser
vice Commission, has accepted the Chief
Examinership of the New York State Com
mission, of which John Jay is President
Senator Warner f. Miller, of New
York, in an interview with Chicago re
porter, said tn the Republican party has
made for itself distinctive record as pro-
lection party, and that any attempt to evade
a square avowal of the principle in the next
National Conventions platform will result
disastrously to the organization.
The Pennsylvania Senate passed a
resolution for the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate the relations of'the Stand
ard Oil Company, in the matter of taxation,
to the State.
The Postmaster General is said to
have come TO the conclusion that Senator
Malone shall not be permitted to dispense
the patronage of the department in Virginia
Iue NlUnHOlulnS OF sllllllaT powers from

that gentleman losing all influence in State

made aspeech in which he claimed that Re-
publican losses in the North were being off

Gen. Grant, in an interview at Louis

expressed the opinion that Blaine and Logan
were each very strong men for the Repub-

for Gov. Tilden, and said there seemed to be
a strong sentiment among the Democracy

the floor near a barrel of oil. The liquid be-
came ignited and in q few minutes the
whole building, an immense iron-front struc-

that the flames extended across the street
and completely destroyed two small dwell
