THE Peach Convention has done
much to give to Middletown that
prominence among Peninsula towns to
which her geographical position enti-
ties her. With the many advantages
which Middletown possesses she should
hold a position second to no town on
the Peninsula. The fruit district is
directly at her door, her railroad facili-
ties are as good as those of other places
on the Delaware railroad, water trans
portation is near at hand and within
easy reach by an electric road or other
means of communication, our people
are industrious and thrifty and the
Delaware Peninsula is as good Sec
tion Of country as any upon which
nature smiles
With all those advantages why
should not Middletown profit by con-
yention of those interested in the fruit
business ? 1t is said by many that the
convention did no good, but such an
assertion is not borne out by fact the
persons who make the assertion prob
ably do not think of the extended pub
licity given to the proceedings of the
convention through the newspapers of
neighboring towns and those of Phila-
delphia scarcely paper has come to
this office during the past week in
which some mention of the convention
has not been made.
This extended advertisement of the
fact that an immense crop of fruit is
about to be harvested has helped the
credit of merchants and others who
have been laboring under serious diff
culties during long period of difficult
collections and severe losses. The
basket manufacturers have BEEN given
q chance to exhibit their wares to an
interested class Of buyers. Nursery
men have been encouraged by revi-
val of interest in fruit-froWing, trans
portation companies were given a
chance to meet the people in pleasant
and friendly conference.
Middletown has had chance to ex-
tend to the outside world the kind of
hospitality for which she is noted, in
fact she has been brought to the notice
Of the world in way which will do
much to brighten her future prospects.
To those gentlemen of the Board of
Trade who labored so faithfully to
make the convention a success, the
thanks of the people of Middletown |
are due their strenuous efforts in this |
behalf led to success, and that success
will encourage them to undertake other |
work of a useful kind.

points of superiority in the
Lightning Freezer are:
1T has ample tub S. ace.
2-It is quicker than any other
good Freezer we know of.
3-It does the work with less
labor than any other Freezer in

5-The gearing is completely COW

Fellow citizens, one and all
The CHIEFTAIN, takes this method
of thanking you for the many ex-
prcssions of appreciation extended
to it from all parts Of the Cherokee
nation for the bold stand it has
taken for the right in this campaign
which is now drawing to close,
Notwithstanding the many vile
attacks and slurs from irresponsi =
bic persons who have no interest
in this country only to fleece the
people and work as the paid
hirelings of Joel b Mayes and his
band Of monopolists and inter
lopers. We began this fight against
tremendous odds, against that sub
tie and seductive power that has
corrupted so many Of our citizens
the money power-and to-day we
congratulate you upon The TACT that
a long stride has been made toward
the breaking up of the worst sys-
tenn of robbery ever inaugurated in
any country. And we can say to
you in all candor and truth that
the days Of monopoly and oppres-
sion are numbered. II has been
a hard fight, made at. the risk OF
many personal friendships made
in the face Of SANDER and insult,
made even at the risk of personal
safety, bat il has been in a just
cause, and therefore with a stout
heat. II is with the determination
and zeal Of an honest yeomanry.

REASONS FOR OUR POSITION

One of the reasons why we favor
allotment is because holding lands
in common is the chief source of
political corruption in this country.
We go with no political party
further than we can go without
sacrifice of principle, and we OPP
pose no political party when it is
in the right. In shoit, we claim
to be independent and -par,i-
san, but not neutral. Our aim is
the welfare of the citizens of this
country as 4 whole and whatever
political organization we support,
it is only done rs means to that
end. In the present political strug-
gle we oppose Chief Mayes because
we are convinced that he is against
the best interests of the country,
taken as whole. We believe that
he is in collusiun with the monop.
olists and richer classes Of oul
citizens, and that our safety as a
nation will depend in a large
measure on his defeat at the polls
next Monday We believe further
that to endorse and continue in
power the present chief and coun-
ell would be a great national calam.
ity and would jcopardize the rights
OF the poorer classes of our citizen,
and run us as a nation into bank
ruptcy and ruin. We earnestly
believe that this nation would be
far safer in the hands uf either o
the opponents of Chief Mavcs.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1891-07-30

There are, in this community.
number Of individuals who are en-.
ergetically endcavoring to create
the impression that THE CnIEFrAIN
is lighting the cattle industry.
Nothing could be further from the
truth. We claim that no man
has the right to bring in large
herds of southern cattle during
the warm months and thus destroy
the native cattle. To do so is
neither right nor just, nor does it
pay, as the loss on the natives
many times over exceeds the
profit on the Texas cattle, to say
nothing of the relative number of
people engaged in the two indus
tiles Further than this, the range
cowman has no inherent right to
more of this country or the grass
growing upon it, than would be
his if a division was made. lie
has a right to it though under exist
ing laws, and this law we hold
should be altered. That the farm.
er cannot be successful or prosper.
Gus MS long as his surplus grain is
shipped is acknowledged 1t must
be fed very near the ground upon
which it is raised-whether to his
own cattle or those of his neigh
bor makes little difference, as in
the latter case they stand in the
relation of partners. Therefore to
remove the cattle would be pub
lie disaster, and no intelligent
member of the community. Of
whatever class, would desire such
a course to be attempted. There
is another side to this case not
generally thought of. When this
country is all settled up TIC same
as Kansas or Missouri are, it will
contain ten times as many cattle
as at present and they will be
worth half more per head than
those we now have. Hence it will
be seen that farming in no sense
destroys the cattle business but
augmentS it.

FREE SPEECH.

One Of the things the world has
learned by experience is that it is
absolutely necessary to have free
speech. In all ages the nations
that have gone down in anarchy
and riot, and chaos, have been the
nations that have first suppressed
free speech. Free speech is the
gem of the human soul. Words
are the bodies Of thought, and
liberty gives TO those thoughts
wings, and the whole intellectual
heavens are filled with thought.
In this country every individual
tongue has a right to the general
ear. In this country every man
has right 70 give his reasons for
the course he pursues, to all his
fellow citizens. And when you say
that man shall not speak you also
say that others shall not hear.
And when you say man shall not
express his honest thought, you
say his fellow citizens shall be de.
prived Of honest thoughts, for what
use is it TO allow the attorney for
the defendant to address the jury
il the jury has been bought? 1t is
no use TO have a jury If the de-
fendant Is to be hung By mob,
and let us ask in all candor Of

Give us A FAIR voTH.

The man who casts and counts
an illegal vote poisons the fountain
Of power, poisons the spring Of
justice and is traitor to his coun.
try This government to-day Is
upon the verge of ruin through
fraudulent voting and the party
that Is now in power wants to stay
in power by fraudulent votes. The
most sacred privilege a government
can give is the right Of suffrage.
The ballot box is the throne Of
American governments, the ballot
box is the ark Of the covenant, and
unless we see that every man who
has right to vote, votes, and
every man who has no right does
not vote, our days are numbered
as a nation. Wheneverthe people
believe that the chief Of this nation
is holding his Office by fraudulent
votes, then look out for revolution
and chaos. Thsn it is the duty Of
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1891-07-30
THE LAST STRAW.

Those who oppose the allotment
of lands in this country at this
time, in view of existing circum-
stances, either do so through pure
ly selfish motives or because they
do not understand what allotment
means. 1t is easy to understand
why those who Craze vast herds
of cattle do not favor allotment.
They depend for pasturage entirely
upon the public domain. They are
able to individualize and take to
themselves many times their pro
rata share of this common heritage,
and colossal fortunes may be
made in few years. The wealthy
az home with the assistance Of out
side capital are able to monopolize
all the public domain Of the coun-
try. Hugh rings or combines are
formed including outside capital,
which stock our common ranges
with vast herds of foreign cattle
that over.run our prairies, break
through our fences, damage our
crops and jeopordize our rights as
citizens and to cap the climax the
cattle owners from the states are
furnishing money to debauch and
corrupt our elections and override
our rights to say who our chief and
council shall be, and forcing US to
surrender the great prerogative Of
the elective franchise, and submit
to minority rule at the dictation Of
the worst element of outlaws that
the western country ever produced.
Now AS to the next class that OPP
pose allotment: 1t imbraces those
who are made to believe that allot.
ment means statehood and state
hood means a very bad kind of a
government. Their unenlightened
prejudiccs are appealed to by such
INSCRIPTIONS interlopers as only
desire to mislead them and defer
the only possible means of protect
ing the rights Of the poor when the
poor are really the ones above all
others that would be benefited by
allotment of lands. No mans
rights could be lessened, but all
would be equalized. This latter
class of citizens are many Of them
ignorant of the true status OF this
country and of the fact that they
are being robbed by the most
di1bolical system OF monopoly that
could be inaugurated. Again, ac-
cording to the estimate of a CORES
pondent in last weeks CHIEFTAIN
our pro rata share of the money
that goes to run this government
amounts to no less than twelve
dollars per annum. Think Of 1t;
what a tax! a family of eight pay
ing ninety-six dollars a year and
coming off the poor and rich alike.
There is not a fair minded man in
the world that would say that this
is right. No, they know that ii is
not right, but, fellow citizens, it is
the same spirit of despotism and
greed that wrecked Rome and we
follow its path way along down the
centuries and find the shores Of
time literally strewn with the
debris Of nations that have fallen
victims to its power.
