CHANDLER, o. T., Sept. 24.-No other
town in the world is like Chandler to-
day, for which the other towns may be
glad. The Government site for the
town of Chandler is still inhabited only
by few soldiers and the surveyors, but
the other hall of the quarter section
Just east of Chandler has been mapped
out into town site, the population OF
which changes every minute. The To-
cation OF Chandler is on high blutE
They land which the surveyors have
been trying to survey into streets and
alleys Is rougher than the high seas in q
storm. Great rocks as large as small
house are scattered about all over the
town site and deep gullies cut 1t into
pieces. . With miles OF level land all
around, it is difficult to undertand why
such rough piece Of land was selected
for tho town. The rival town on the
adjoining half OF the quarter section is
on level ground. On Tuesday men
rushed into it and drove their stakes
there, as anxious to secure a tifty-foot
piece of ground as though 1t was worth
$1,000, but when the got it they were
not delighted.
After Sleeping out all night Tuesday,
tortured with hunger, thirst and most
ravenous specie Of mosquitoes, hundreds
realized that they had had enough and
began to leave. Ono man yesterday
offered two lots in the Chandler annex
for o ham sandwich without finding a
purchaser. The town is oyerrun with
gamblers OF every description. There
has been no troublein keeping the peo-
pie off the site.

Cleveland and ulu-Sonnt0r Eoulkner
Speaks.
SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, Sept. "a
There was a large attendance at the
second days session of the convention
OF Democratic clubs Of Washington.
Henry Drum, Of Tacoma, was elected
President, and George Hazard, OF
Tacoma, Secretary.
In the afternoon large mass meeting
was held. Senator Faulkner, OF West
Virginia, was the orator. A large num-
ber of letters OF regret were read. Ex-
President Cleveland by telegraph said:
"Please present my congratulations and
best wishes to the workers in the Dem
ocTatic cause who meet to-day In your
State. l hope this faith in the intelii-
gence of their countrymen will induce
them to rest their hopes OF success
upon the advocacy of wholesome prln'
ciples and measures which are truly
Democratic, as well as upon the thor
oughly party organization which their
association OF Democratic clubs is 50
well calculated to subserve. The vindi-
cation of our principles can be safely
left to the plain people Of the land
when they are aroused TO thoughtful
ness and patriotic action.
(Signed) "GRovER CLEvEbAND."
Governor Hill, of New York, among
other things says:
"The Republican party is frightened
by the emphatic protest Of the people
last November against high tariffs, and
subsidies, and force bills, and extraVa-
CANT appropriation and desires q new
issue in 1892. 1t is vainly seeking to
divide the easteTn Democracy from the
western by false and hypocritical pro-
iessions in behalf of an "honest cur
rency," blindly trusting that it can de-
ceive by its professions, while by its
acts it continues to permit the debase-
ment of g large part OF our currency
and refuses to take manly stand in
favor OF the only honest currency, the
currency OF our fathers and OF the con-
stitutiOn."
