ALLIANCE NOMINATIONS.
A Great Move Toward Refor-
nation.

The Alliance convention held at
Claremore, OH Monday, June 10Th,
organized by eleciing NJ. Daniel
permanent chairman, and r. X.
Adair, secretary. The roll showed
that there were eight unions rep
resented By d'-'v credite d delegates;
the number o delegates present,
IS, representing q menbership in
the order of $50. TIE convention
was called to order by the chair
man and Immediately went to
work. A committee was appointed
on a platform, which was presented
to the convention in the afternoon,
read section by section, and adopt.
ed as their principles. it embraced
about all the former declaration of
principles adopted at the quarterly
meeting in April, 1891, with the
additional sections:
10. And we also demand Of our
council measures of such a charac-
ter as will justly and legally settle
the citizenship question in the
Cherokee nation, especially OF
those claimants who were here
prior to 1886.
II. That we demand that next
council pass such laws as will make
it impossible and impractical to
monopolize the public domain and
estop the universal leasing of all
our lands east and west of 96o
u. And that we further demand
of the next council such legislation
as will abolish the wholesale brib.
cry and debauchery of our elec.
tions, and thereby make it possible
for honest and pure men to obtain
office.
13. Lastly and in conclusion, in
view of the enormous extravaganza
and corruption of the present adj
ministration. and the enactment Of
class legislation by our council and
senate, approved by our chief, we
see no security in perpetuating our
present form OF government except
by allotling our lands in severalty,
and retaining our present tribal or
ganization. Therefore we pied ge
ourselves to support no candidates
who will not pl, dge themselves to
carry out these demands.
After adoption of the foregoing
platform the following ticket was
| placed in the field:
For Senate, w. l.. Trott, John y.
| Foreman.
Council, NJ. Daniel, Joseph Mil
Ter, Joseph Cobb, b. w. Rider, Il.
X. Adair, Graville Craig, Geo. w,
Mayes.
District Judge, John Drake.
District Clerk, II. ii. Trutt.
Sheriff, J. NJ. Crutch6eld.
Solicitor, Cornelius Alberty.
After the nomination of the above
ticket. the convention unanimously
endorsed and recommended Gideon
Morgan Tor Circuit Judge of the
Northern judicial Circuit.
The following were appointed d
the executive committee tor the
coming campaign, and all CORES
pondence and other matters relat.
ing to the canvass will be directed
to them.

Alliance men will be slow to
give their votes to an organization
ike the so-called Liberal Party
which has been engineered into
existence by lawyers and the lead
ing supporters of such measures as
the "Co'V lawn and who rely
more on their wit than the sweat
of their brows for a livelihood, -
Arrow.
"Wit" did you say2 Well, the
Tahloquah idea of wit is, 'im-

Is the public utterances Of the
men that are posing as leaders be-
fore the people we frequently hear
itsaid, "let by-gones be by-gones. "
Is ID possible that those men are
ashamed Of their past acts ? No
man ever said "let by-gones be by
cones" unless he had done some
thing mean and wanted people to
forget il. When a man does a
great or good act he don't want
anybody TO forget it, but it shines
out i'm his after life like an oasis in

of the committee call for an Alli-
ance nominating convention at

first and only district (Cooweescoo-

have ordered such convention. "
You might have added with the
same truthfulness that IL was the
first call of the kind in the history
of the order--contrary to the con.
stitution, contrary to the adopted
policy of the order and a violation
Of sacred promise given to every
candidate initiated into the order.
Respectfully,

Mr. BENoE, in his speech at
Blueiacket, said that he thought
The allotment question was adj
vaucing to focus, but thought the
monopoly Of land could be con-
trollcd without allotment. Still
he failed to state how it was going
to be controlled. Itis worse than
folly to talk in that strain, in view
Of the facts that are staring us in
the face Mr. Benge shows dis
position TO run away from the
facts in the case when he makes

Bierstadt's "Landine of Column
buS.V

Albert Bierstadt has just returned
from Europe, where he has been for
several months studying for his pic
ture of "The Landing of Column
bus" to be exhibited for the first
time at the Worlds Fair in Chicago.
He has visited Spain, Italy and Por-
tugal, studying the costumes of the
time of Columbus in museums and
palaces. Mr.. Bierstadt is as con-
scientious as Gerome or MISSIONER
in arranging for all the details Of
his pictures, and has already made
most elaborate preparations for pos
ing his costumes, made after the old
ones, on models specially engaged
for the work. In the San Salvador
group of islands, some years ago, he
made studies for all the fora re-
quired in this painting.
