A SERMON REPORTED By OUR

IAN 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 a heavy
tone of voice, impressively said:

WY not put of nominating

is to wait for the action of the

TEE 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, il
showed the people were unwilling
10 endorse any man before he had
declared himself. Third, that the
party that Incorporates allotment
IN its platform win gain the votes;
but if neither party viii declare in
favor of allotment and 4 third par
ty does, the people of this pre-
cinct viii vote the third ticket.

ANOTHER PRECINCT HEARD
FROM.


cinct of Delaware district Tues
day evening, though poorly attend
ed, 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
Vinita precinct stayed at home
because they do not care to pledge
themselves TO vote for any man
until he declares whether he IA
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
man-until he has declared him
self in favor of selling the strip
and allotting east Of Sc. They
were unanimously in favcr of put
ting denominations until after the
general convention in August.
The plank that they wished in
serted in the platform OF the par
ty they support will be found in
the following
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
eminent 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 conditica of the
country, and the great questions
affecting the peoples interest, such
involving directly and immediate
ly the very existence of the Chero-
kee nation,
Therefore, Be il resolved, that
We repudiate the present method
of nominating any candidate by
a convention of so called captains
and demand conven-
ton 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 SO 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 ilnal 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-
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 % degrees, Civ
ing to every man, woman and
child a fee simple tile to their
full share of the entire tract.
Now, there is the hand writing
on the wall; let him who runs
read.

Good Work by the Dallas.

During the heavy southwest gale of the
14th inst. the schooner Charlie and Willie
Of Rockland. parted her chains and went
ashore on the northeast side of the harbor
at Rockland. There being no tug available
the revenue cutter Dallas, at the request of
her owners, hauled the schooner afloat and
lowed her to her dock.
During the heavy northeast gale of Tues
day the schooner R. J.. Kenney of Rockland,
loaded with lime, was lying on the northeast
side OF railroad wharf at Rockland. The
neavy sea running made her berth untena-
pie Sne was pitching and laboring heavily,
the sea breaking over her, boat stove and
was rapidly pounding herself to pieces, and
would have inevitably foundered at her
dock, had not the Dallas, with great dif,icul.
ty, run hawser to her and towed her to a
safe anchorage.
