able spot bordering on the reservation
that could shelter man, horse or wagon,
there sprang horde of home-seekers,

now fully 5000 settlers in the reservation.
They are evenly divided between the
northern and eastern borders. The
squatter is monarch of all he surveys,
and the filler is literally out of the run
ming. The rush was made with all sorts
of conveyances-on horseback, in bug
gies, wagons, and on foot. The riders

speed in the struggle to get there first.

Democratic he cried like child,

gretted was the bitterness which
had been aroused against him by

town all lifelong friends voted
against him, and because of his
teachings ofrace equality, many OF
them declined to receive him at
their homes or to associate with
him. Tom Watson is a bright,
brilliant, brainy man, and could
have held the position of repre-
sentative to Congress from the
tenth district 80 long as he wished,
but he lacked balance, and illured
by that will O the wisp, the pros
pect of being nominated for vice.
