His proclamation of yesterday
is intended to eject the syndicates OF,
the one hand and suspend on the other

TO proceed at once to conclude negotia.

deem 1t best for all parties to
await the contemplated ao.
ton. 1t must bo understood
that the corruptions by which the lands
In the Oklahoma country and the whole
Indian Territory have been illegally oc.
cupied by the cattle kings, Is strongly
defended here by powerful financial In
liuences. This conspiracy has been ex-
listing for years, and Is now represented
here by persons holding high positions
In the government. These men having
access to the avenues of public
opinion and private privileges, and
IN constant communication with
the departments OF tho government are
Persistent In their Misrepresentation.
They who attack here any of the great
wrongs which have fastened themselves
upon the government. undertake task
or great magnitude. But we shall CON
tinue TO urge with confidence upon Pres.
dent Cleveland's administration a rover
sal OF the bad policy of former years.
The only safety for tho people is a
sharply defined public opinion arising
above all party distinctions and
demanding that the public domain shall
be held sacred as a heritage for actual
settlers.
