A SERMON REPORTED BY OUR
BIG GREEK SCRIBE.
can he Rolls Sin Under his Tongue
Like q Sweet Morsel."

A rousing song-"Chain de Lion
Down" having been sung by the
congregation, Rev. Satisfaction
Jones slowly rose from his seat
in the pulpit, and having deliber-
ately looked his congregation over
to secure attention, in heavy
tone of voice, impressively said;
My brederin' and sisterin', de
tex rze guine to 'scourse on dis

morsel." Yo' kin find hit some
whar in de good book. case hit am

would do eff yo' had de chance,

Here his reverence seemed to
think it was time "for de movin'
OBJ de sperit," and turned himself
loose in his usual sing-song style,
but hitting hard all around:

SATURDAY at the precinct meet
ing Of Vinita, Jesse w. Elliott hit
the nail on the head when he said:
"When | want to mark a hog and
put him in my pen, / want to
know that he is mine. If he is
not mine | don't want him. So it
is with the man the people nomi-
nate for chief. We can't nomi-
nate Joel Mayes till we know
whose hog he is. Does he favor
allotment or not"

How did it happen that the
chief asked the treasurer to pay
those fourteen teachers out of the
insane fund, offering to personally
go security for the amount. 1t is
against the law to loan any public
monies for any purpose, with or
without interest.

ANOTHER PRECINCT HEARD
FROM

The meeting Of the Vinita pre-
cinct of Delaware district Tues
day evening, though poorly attend
cd, was very far from being a
failure. The people in Delaware
district favor allotment and are
determined to make it the issue
in the coming campaign. There
fore the majority of the voters Of
Yinita precinct stayed at home
because they do not care to pledge
themselves to vote for any man
until he declares whether he fa-
vors or opposes allotment. Those
present decided without a dissent
ing voice not to send delegates or
even countenance any nomination
for chief-Mayes or any other
until he has declared him
selfiu favor Of selling the strip
and allotting east of 96. They
were unanimously in favor of put
ting Denominations until after the
general convention in August.
The plank lhat they wished in
serted in the platform OF the par
ty they support will be found in
the following

THE meeting Of the Vinita pre-
cinct Saturday showed several
things quite plainly. First, it
showed that the people favored
allotment and thought it above
party considerations. Second, it
showed the people were unwilling
to endorse any man before he had
declared himself. Third. that the
party that Incorporates allotment
in its platform will gain the votes;
but if neither party will declare in
favor Of allotment and a third par
ty does, the people Of this pre-
cinct will vote the third ticket.

Why not put Off nominating
chief and second chief till after the
two parties have either accepted
or refused to incorporate allot-
ment in their platforms. The
people all see that the country is
on its last legs and that allotment
is the only salvation. There is
no need Of nominating a chief un-
Ill some action is taken on this
question. II tie Downings de-
clare in favor Of this movement,
they will win. II The Nationals
accept it and the Downings do not,
they viii win. II neither favor it..

RESOLUTIONS

RESOLUTIONS
Whereas, The custom hereto
fore of nominating candidates for
Office by captains is a pernicious
practice depriving the people of
any voice in the selection of their
rulers and placing the entire gov
ernment into the hands of polite
al tricksters and party wire pull
lers, and,
Whereas, men have been placed
in nomination and elected to Of
fee by such methods who were
wholly unfit for public trust, and,
Whereas, The condition of the
country, and the great questions
affecting the peoples s interest, such
involving directly and immediate
ly the very existence of the Chero-
kee nation,
Therefore, Be it resolved, that
we repudiate the present method
of nominating any candidate by
a convention of so called captains
and demand a eonyen-
tion of representatives Of the peo-
pie of the several districts after a
canvass before the primary or
precinct Voters. That no man
should be nominated who does
not express himself fully and un-
reservedly upon the disposition
Of the land west of the Arkansas
river, and the allotment of the
lands east of 96 degrees, west
longitude. That we are in favor
of an absolute sale of the land OF
the Cherokee nation west of the
Arkansas river and a division of
the proceeds per capita among the
people.
The final and immediate set
tlement of all claims to citizen
ship in this nation arising under
the treaty of 1866 The mon
opoly of the public domain by un-
scrupulous citizens has become
Of such gigantic proportions OF
of aggregated width that it has in
vaded as we believe the legisla a
tive and executive branches Of our
government and threatens to rob
the poor Of their inheritance.
Therefore as the only harbor OF
safety, we demand an allotment
of the land east Of SO degrees, Civ.
ing to every man, woman and
child fee simple title to their
full share Of the entire tract.
Now, there is the hand writing
on the wall; let him who runs
read.
