OKLAHOMA CITY, o. T., July 31.-A dele
gate convention of the Democracy OF Okla
homa Territory will be held at FL Reno to-
morrow, at which several special questions
will be considered, and the general policy
of the party outlined. 1t is argued that as
the next congress is Democratic i'll the
lower house the local Democracy should be
given some voice in territorial matters.
Among the special questions to be consid-
cred are: Action looking to statehood, the
opening of adjoining lands, and needed leg
islation concerning them, and re-
strictions upon the settlement and con-
veyance of public lands and the exactions
upon townsites, an immediate and speedy
adjustment of the pending contests by
speedy measures for their hearing before
the land department. Other pertinent and
important questions will suggest them
selves upon which no Democratic cOnven-
ZION has taken action that may be of very
material benefit to the people of this ter
ritory

and blow by going down after his gun, but
before he could draw it Mayor Ganet and
several of the bystanders interfered and
