WHAT 1T MEANS

1t may be well TO state at this
time that the great popular up
rising ofthe people Of this country
that has made the defeat of Joel
Mayes and his paid emissarics
almost certainty, is not entirely
Of the National party. II is a
spontaneous development Of pat
riotism in all classes. 1t is com.
posed of those who want better
government. 1t is composed OF
those who believe that there is
something here worth preserving
and handing down to ous children
1t is composed of those who be-
lieye in the future of this govern
ment, and Of those who do not
believe that il was made for the
up building of the rich and the
grinding down Of the poor While
in all governments there are things
that aught to be preserved, there
are also many things that ought to
be destroyed Every good man,
every patriot, every lover Of the
human race, wishes to preserve
the good and destroy the bad, and
this uprising is the blossom and
fruit Of the Cherokee Nations best
ondeavors, and will rebound Ia
its ultimate good

every one who READ N you are
not in favor Of Fl ,6och2 Do
you want to manaclo I|e lips Of
free speech2 Do yoN 81 want to
hear all sides Of every question:
Free speech isthe cradle Of intel
lectual liberty 1t is the great
forum of human Thought and con
science, and let us have it free.
Let cny man in all these nine dis
tricts of the Cherokee nation ex-
press his sentiments from the
stump or through the public press.
The meanest thing Joel Mayes ever
did (and that is saying a great
deaD was his abuse of the public
press during the present campaign.
We propose to go with that party
that believes in free speech, with
that party that upholds that sacred
right. There is room for all
our thoughts. Out upon the great
intellectual sea there is room foi
every sail, and in a. air Of thought
there is room for every wing. S,
down with the man and down with
the political party that does no
tolerate free speech. The diabol.
ical efforts Of the Mayes party il
this town to manacle the press in
this campaign will so down int,
the history of this country as al
outrage upon human liberty, anC

all honest nsen to see that none
but honest votes are cast and
counted. Do you want TO put the
country in the keeping Of such
men as openly swear that they in
tend to buy all the votes they can
and that they will not be ruled by
a majority of honest votes7 Then
ifyou do, just vote for Mayes; he
is the man that says openly on the
stump that they intend to count all
the votes-those that are legal and
those that are fraudulent.

WHAT the Mayesites are trying
to do now is to convince the coun-
try that whatever they do is right
and whatever other people do is
wrong. 1t is like the old Jewish
Sanhedrim-it is careful to not do
anything against those in power,
and is opposed TO any change in
the affairs OF this government SO
long as their (the leaders, interests
are taken care of.

FRAUDs AT ELEOTION.

Jticle three, page l75, complied
laws OF the Cherokee nation, pro-
vides for the maintenance Of honest
elections, aud fixes adequate pen
alties for violations of this kind
and those who have been buying
votes may make up their minds
that rigid and thorough prosecu-
tion will follow. Section thirty
two is as follows:
Sec. 30 Every person who
shall, by bribery or treats, attempt
to influence any voter in giving his
vote, or shall use any threats to
procure any voter to vote contrary
to the inclination Of such voter, or
to deter him from giving his vote,
shall be deemed guilty of 4 mis-
demeauor, and, upon conviction,
be fined in q sum not less than one
hundred, and not more than five
hundred dollars, or he imprisoned
for any time less than one year,
and exceeding three months, or by
both fine and imprisonment, at the
discretion Of the court.
Sec. 30. Any person. who shall
fraudulently alter, mutilate, de-
stroy, or unlawfully opens after
being sealed mp, any returns Of
election, shall be deemed guilty OF
felony, and, upon conviction, be
imprisoned for not less than one
year nor exceeding five years

IT is now reasonably certain that
Mayes is beaten and that Benge or
Bushyhead will one or the other
be elected chief of this nation. But
it is TO be earnestly hoped that
they will never find it necessary to
employ a half dozen lawyers to
defend them on the stump as
Mayes is doing now.

Mr.. MAYEs said in his speech
Monday, at Vinita, that there was
no justice in taxing all, rich and
poor alike, to run this govern

man don't know what he does

Ar Vinita last Monday Judge
Benge produced document after
document in evidence against Joel
Mayes' extravaganza and corrup-
ton. Mayes has been guilty Of
some shameful conduct and he has
made the mistake that he has
exposed SO many others. He has
written too many letters. Job says,
"Oh, that mine enemy would write
book" Joel has written enough
letters TO make a book ard his
enemies seem to have them all.

but few dollars in money. but there is
no telling how many valuable papers
were taken.

Passenger Agent John Sebastian. of
the Rock Island. says that notwithstsnd,
ing the plain restrictions under which
mileage books are now sold the various
companies are compelled to take up hum
dreds of them in the course of year.
He says the Rock Island caught two
Western Passenger Association detectives
who had written other names than their
own in order to make a case against the
road. Occasionally book slips through
Undecided but that happens on all roads.
The Rock Islands mileage book fight
against the Atchison has proven back

recalled that the Rock Island charged the
Atchison with violating q rule of the as
ISOLATION in doing brokerage business
with secondhand or scslped editorial
mileage tickets. The Atchison not only
entered denial but made a couu-
ter charge that the complaint was
based upon false representations
and was malicious. 1t held the
Rock Island was guilty of violation
OF rules in maliciously instituting
charges that were without foundation in
TACT, and asked that the Rock Island be
required to pay the penalties prescribed
in the agreement. The whole row was
about ticket said to have been pur-
chased by an agent of the Rock Island at
the ticket office of the Atchison, good
from Chicago to Denver, for which he
paid $3.50. the tariff rate being $50 65.
The chairman decided that the charge
against the Atchison was not sustained.

CAMP MEETING GROUNDS. TINDALL's
GROVE. Aug. 10 This will probably be
the last camp meeting held 10 these
groves, though of course one never knows
what the future may bring forth At
any rate. however. the proposition to have
camp grounds on the island near the
Watch tower in accordance with the idea
Of Presiding Elder Head, of this NJ. E.
district, meets with favor which is gaining
ground daily. The present camp grounds
while pleasantly situated, notwith-
standing that considerable money has
been expended in buildings. etc-the
tabernacle being an especially fine struc-
ture-are too far out of the Way.
All are beginning to realize that.
There are great many people
who would attend camp meeting
if the grounds Were uesrer tie city, so
that they could get home in case of sick
ness or severe storm. II is on this &C.
count that the proposition of Mr.. Head
and the generous offer of the Rock Island
& Milan road to locate a permanent
grounds on the island for all churches,
and on which the Methodists could have
their own tents and own time of going
into camp, is considered popular.

the Methodists of the Rock Island dis

progressing nicely under the direction
of Presiding Elder Hesd. who has a
promise that Rev. c. c. McCsbe, D. D.,
