INDIAN VOTERS.
A New and Uncertain Political Element In
Oklahoma Territory.

OklBhOma lerFAIOry'
KINarIsHER, Ok, Nov. 5.--The lead
ing feature of the territorial campaign
in this section is the fight being made
for the votes of the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Indians The leading trou-
BILE is found in the mysteries of the
Australian ballot The law forbids
that any tickets shall be on exhibition,
and so an exact schooling cannot be
given. The Indians, who so recently
became citizens, number 500, and OF
this number 500 are Cheyennes and
300 Arapahoes. 1t is safe to say that
less than thirty-6ve can read aud
write, and they are afraid to go into
the chute prepared to carry out the
law.
The Republicans have an Indian at
the head of their part of the ticket
The Democrats have selec d an
Indian head, while the Allan have
q bee gum. AS may be seen .le Re-
public ans and Democrats in selecting
their devices had an eye to the Indian
vote. They are using every effort
possible to win their votes.
Present indications are favorable to
the Republicans getting the majority
of the Arapahoes, and the Democrats
have captured majority of the
Cheyennes. In the confusion there is
a general feeling that it was wrong
to permit the Indians to vote. But ID
is a condition, not theor' that con-
fronts the political W rl1ers, and
hence there is much excitement 70
win this vote.

New York, Nov. 0.--LasC night in
and about this city was still and moist
with scarcely enough of breeze to
stir flag. Az daybrcak, however,
blue chaslns were opened in the heavy
clouds, and in sullen sort OF way
they drifted away eastward Sunlight
came through them and the dawn
gave promise of fair weather for the
battle Of the ballots. The atmosphere
was like that of early May time soft,
fresh, encouraging. As the day grew
on the skies cleared and at 10 o'clock
not a cloud could be found above The
horizon.
In the outlying districts OF the city
and in Westminster county where pco-
pie rise early, the voting began early.
In the city the vote began carly TO
come out, and was progressing stcadi'
ly through the early hours, though the
ballot system retarded the speed OF the
work somewhat

great deal of dissatisfaction was
aroused over the way voters were dis
