A Political Coalition Aimed At.

Under authority given Mt the national
reform conference" last November a call
has been issued for q union organizing
convention of lcformers from all parties"
to be held in st. Louis Sept. 3. The pur-
pose stated in the call is to adopt national
platform and appoint a national executive
committee whose duty it shall be to place
in the field in 1892 a reform party" in all
the states and territories. The idea is to
bring about. if possible, a pooling of issues
by the prohibition, union labor, green
hackers. knights of Labor, farmers al-
lance and industrial union organizations.
The committee suggests the placing of q
plank in the party platform favoring u
provision Of law under which the people
may vote periodically upon doctrines and
policies without the intervention of parties
OF candidates, the result of these elections
to be considered MS instructions to the leg
~islative servants of the people.

Favoritism Was the Ruling Fnrce-An
Oficial Inquiry that May he Tar-ttcacla-
ing ia lsesults-Ncws of Other Sort from
Various Points.
Cornelius Mcbride, the special inspector
who was sent TO Oklahoma by Secretary
Noble, talked freely regarding his investi-
cations. He said when he first entered the
territory, and before the opening procla-
nation took effect, he was surprised to
find the indicated troubles between tho
various bands of settlers and boomers un.
warranted. He had not been there long
before he discovered it was not bloodshed
but rascallty the department had to fear.
He further said: Secretary Noble tele-
graphed me to look after the score Of
deputy United States marshals who had
gone into the territory. 1 telegraphed Mr..
Noble that it was not the
deputy marshals who were to
blame, but higher officials. l found
that John l. Ollie. land register, and c. NJ.
Barnes, receiver, had connived to allow
their friends and relatives to come into the
territory before they had any right to, and
enter the choicest land. Gen. W. II. Clay
ton, n fellow townsman of Barnes, went to
Guthrie the Saturday before the opening,
and Sunday surveyed the section of land
laid out for the town site of Guthrie and
made the plat. Mark S. COIN was selected
to enter the plat. lie, too. was in the ter
ritory before he had any right. John E.
Ollie. brother of the land register, was also
on the ground, and by the grace of his
brother Ollie and COIN were selected to
make the first entries. Three friends of
Ollie and Barnes were selected and APP
pointed deputy marshals to guard the door
of the land Office on the morning OF the
opening. ID. p. Dyer, of Kansas City, ex-
pected to be the first man to make an en-
try, and in reality would have been were
it not for the p~reconcertcd plan. When
the door was opened Mt noon the three
deputies mentioneda above showed Dyer aside
and permitted Ollie and COIN 10 20 in.
When they had finished entering they had
FLED claims for every section of land which
touched the section set apart for Guthrie,
excepting the one which was held by n
lawyer named Walton, n brother TO Sena-
ter Walton, OF Colorado. This filing also
included the Clayton's plat of Guthrie"
Mcbride says he recommended the re-
moval from Office of Register Ollie, Re-
ceiver Barnes and Marshal Jones, of Kan
sas. Jones is the only man who has been
removed up TO the present time. Mcbride
further said before the opening Clayton
came to him and told him unless the town
site plat made by him (ClaytoW was al
lowed to be entered blood would flow in
the streets of Guthrie. The action of

Bride, We're those of an honest man. There

a baltimore Paper starts u Sensation ON
the Matter.
A recent issue Of a Baltimore paper con-
tains o story about Robert Garrett that
has set the town agog. It says that the
cx-president Of the Baltimore b Ohio is
held under unnecessary restraint and is
practically a prisoner in his own house,
and then continues: He has with him two
muscular male huises accustomed to deal
ing with demented persons, or with those
who. from interested motives, are consid-
cred such, and under tho eyes Of one Of
these Mr.. Garrett passes his days and
nights. OF course, it is scarcely probable
that Mr.. Garrett is subjected tothe horrors
of a lunatic asylum or o prison, but resting
under the suspicion of insanity the slightest
act is construed to mean a phase of the
disease and treated accordingly. Recently
Mrs. q ,lrett asked her husband to drive
i:to town from the uplands. What" was
lii. response, to be watched like a pick
pocket, to be bounded like u thief by one
OF Your hirel,ngs?" In the post that he
cceapies at present. even supposing him to
be perfectly sane, MIR. Garrett knows that
he Is absolutely powerless. What motive
could there be to keep a sane man watched
and guarded US q ~lunatic? What motive
may there not he to hold in subsection a
man with millions? Who knows! And in
this case, outside of the persons most
c'cscly interested, Who cares? Has Mr..
Garrett q dozen friends in Baltimore who
would care to have a thorough inquiry
made into his condition?
