going TO work and building this great
people s railroad - and that Alexan-
drla was the point to strike on
Red river for deep water Well, from
GAINESVILLE 70 Alexandria as the crow
lies 1t IS $50 miles, through n fine coun-
try and one well able to support q rail-
road. But after you get to Alexandria
where are you? You are 300 miles from
deep water on river that is navieable
about three months in the year That
river has bar across its mouth where
three feet of water can be found two
thirds OF the year. Then what are you
going to do to take your produce to New
Orleans? Jay Gould controls the New
Orleans Pacific railroad, G. p. Hunting
ton controls the Morgan road Now
what have they actually done? They
started out to build a railroad that
would make them independent of those
octapuses, Gould and Huntington, and
have done nothing but build feeders
for the two roads controlled by them.
Jay Gould having lost control of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas nothing would
please him better than to see that
Gainesville and Alexandria railroad
built, because he could then secure some
of the business that now goes to the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas. It is strange
that the delegates who composed that
convention at Tyler did not see the fine
Italian hand of Gould and Huntington in
the convention. The ''Galveston or
nothing idea was there in force, for
when w. B. Crawford, delegate from
Cherokee county, tried to show the con-
vention the advantages that could be Sc
cured by running the road to Sabine
Pass, he was summarilv sat down upon.
Let us see if there would be any advant-
age IN going to Sabine Pass instead Of
Alexandria. I believe there are many.
l. When the road reaches Sabine Pass
you have thirteen feet at low tide, six
inches more than Galveston ever had.
2 A land-locked harbor where vessels
can ride out safely any storm.
g. Forty feet of water right up to the
bank where wharves can be built and
maintained at one-tenth the cost that it
would cost at any other point on the
coast Twelve miles of such wharfage
can be built, and no wharf company will
be on hand TO exact tribute on every
pound of freight that passes over them.
The road can be run either to Orange or
Beaumont, where 200 cars of lumber can
be secured daily, and if the road should
run to New Birmingham then 400 cars Of
freight can be secured every day in the
year, for when that town starts to ship
iron ore and the products of the ore,
transportation will be in demand.
Now as to distance-mind you, deep
water was what was wanted. From
Gainesville to Sabine Pass it is 400 miles
as the crow fiies-a saving of 2G0 miles
without an uncertain river to depend on,
but the broad Gulf of Mexico through
which the ports of the world can be
reached without being at the mercy of
jay Gould and c. P Huntington. G.

Early Building Associations.
Once q Week.

From data that seem reliable we learn
that the first building association in this
country was organized in a suburb of the
city of Philadelphia, called Frankfort
January 3, 1881, and named the ''Ox-
ford provideht building association -
The scheme was simple. There was a
single series OF stock, entrance fee of SIS /,
monthly dues on each share of stock So !,
and matured value of shares $500. The
shares reached their maturity in ten
years and six months, and the associa-
ton was dissolved. new association of
the same name was formed at once
Another siinalar association was formed
in the same place in 1915, called the
ftFranklin building association - in
which the inatured value Of the shares
was placed at $500 and monthly dues at
81. In 1S47 an association similar TO
the Franklin was organized in the Ken
sington district OF Philadelphia. The
number of shares was limited to 500, the
matured value Of shares $500, and
monthly dues of 81.

and like number of alternates. The
following rasping resolutions expressing
the sense of the meeting were unani-
mously adopted:
Whereas, President Harrison. true
to the grand teachings of his
party, and faithful TO his
pledge, has seen fit to appoint
to the collectorship of Galveston the
Hon. n. w. Quincy, the ablest and
grandest leader the negro race has to-
day in the South, and
Whereas, his appointment was made
Cue to his personal worth and services
Notwithstanding an abortive effort was
made by the disgruntled leaders of the
so-called white man 5 party to defeat his
candidacy, and
Whereas, as these same individuals
have seen fit since Mr.. Quincy IS appoint
ment to pass in q mass meeting held in
the city of Houston q batch of spleen
ish and seurrilous resolutions condemn
ing his appointment as injud1cious in
the part of the administration and
Whereas, we firmly believe his appoint
ment solidiies and builds up the party
throughout the state, and
whereas, it infused new vitality and
with it hope and renewed allegiance and
confidence on the part of all true Repub-
licans, and
Whereas, it has forever silenced the
sophistry of those who would make
the true Republican believe the
ADMINISTRATION loves a reformed Democrat
'sfor revenue onIy'' better than u true
blue Republican, and
Whereas, this renewed confidence
with the party gives promises of at least
one Republican congressman,
Resolved, that we, the members Of the
colOred men IS mass convention of the
city of Austin, declare as very judicious
ana as a signal success the appointment
of the Hon. N W. Quincy to the collect
orship of the port of Galveston
Resolved, that all of this convention

Interesting Features of Their Twenty-Sixth
Annual Convention Soon TO be Held.
Special to the Gazette.
DENVER, COL, Aug. SIN CONVEX
sation with your representative to-day
regarding the twentY-sixth annual con-
vention of the international Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers to be held on
October Is, Secretary w. W. Hall
said he expected that over three
thousand delegates would be in
attendance from the United States,
Mexico and Canada. There will be one
or more features that viii make the COM
ing convention of considerable import
anCe.
In the first place the triennial election
OF grand officers occurs this year. That,
perhaps, is the most important reason.
IN the, second place it is the first cleo
ton since the great Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy strike. Previous to the
strike, MIR. P. NJ Arthur, our grand
spected by all the engineers.
The disastrous ending of that strike has
made him lots of enemies. At the same
time, his friends are closer to him than
ever before. He is a candidate for re-
election and the struggle will be bitter
one. All sorts of statements
have been made against Arthur
on account of the failure to
win the strike. Some have charged
him with disloyalty TO the Brotherhood
and Others say he lost on account Of
weakening. - On the other hand Mr.
Arthur claims he was handicapped by
other members of the committee who
disregarded his ideas and did as they
thought best, leaving him powerless TO
act. Whatever the merits or dement's of
the case may be there is no question but
that there will be q bitter opposition to
his reelection Mr.. Arthur has been
grand chief for eighteen years and never
before failed in anything he undertook.
His most formidable opponents are George
w Vreoman or North Platte, Neb.,
and Mr.. Cavener of California, and OF
these two / thinis Mr.. Frooman has the
strongest following. He has been for
the past six years chairman OF the great
grievance committee Of the Union Pacific
railway engineers, and through his con-
sentative Judgment and excellent advice
he has always settled i'll an amicable
manner all questions in dispute
between the engineers and the
COMPANY. He is a strong man
mentally, and would make good
executive officer. Mr.. Cayener of Cali
fornia is q brilliant man and a good
talker. More than that l cannot say,
because I don It know him as well as do
Mr.. Vrooman.
As to the Burlington strike, cannot
saw what action the convention win take
except to move close investigation INTO
all these reports and innuendos against
Mr.. Arthur s loyalty. Some hard things

CHEROKEE ELECTION.
It Results in an Overwhelming Vic

The Result Regarded as Unfavorable TO the

Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
TAHLEQUAH, I. T. Aug. 8.-The cleo
ton returns are now all in. The result
is surprise to everybody. Chief Mayes,
or the Downing party, will have a major
ity in the next council Of the nation. The
reports that preceded the official returns
indicated an overwhelming national
victory, which was considered favorable
to the pending negotiations for the strip.
Much money was used ON both sides and
the rumor is afloat that certain cattle
syndicates furnished some Of the amount
used by the DoWnings. The purehasable
elements were the negroes and full
bloods, each party endeavoring to divide
them into blocks that none might get
away. Some of the fIoaters have since
openly boosted of the sale of their votes.
The result of the election means
a postponemenC of negotiations until the
new council is sworn in in November,
as Chief Mayes is not DESTROYS of calling
the council together because of the ma
tional complexion. Chief Mayes has not
yet returned from home, where he went
TO vote. HIS dilatoriness is condemned
even by some of his own supporters, as it
will be construed into a discourtesy
toward the representatives of the United
States government. The commission is
quietly awaiting his return to hear the
answer TO their proposition.

DR.. Graves Meetings.

The meetings daily held by DR.. Graves
in the Broadway Baptist church are often
attended with great power and blessing.
Many rise for prayer every night and
there have been some choice conversions.
Last night the evangelist discoursed on
the objectionable sin, showing most
clearly the possibility of the sinner so de-
ferrIng his acceptance of mercy as to
grieve the spirit and be let alone of God.
Tonight Dr.. Graves will answer the
question, What must do to be saved?
The evangelist gave notice that he would
