BE it resolved by the Demo
| cratic party of county A, Oklahoma, IL
convention assembled:
"First-We favor home rule. e.and declare
our emphatic opposition TO the lmporta-
tion of irresponsible and incompetent men
from abroad to fill our offices, draw the
salaries and prerequisites thereto belong
ing, and pay their grocery and butcher
bills elsewhere.
"Second-We indorse the declaration OF
principles enunicated in the national
Democratic convention at Chicago,
June Il.
"Third-We are in favor of keeping in
line with the history aud traditions OF a
party that has lived hopefully in defeat
and acted wisely and faithfully toward the
whole people in victory, and TO this end
we declare ourselves in favor Of a fair and
just representation, and believe that the
county of A, which we represent, is en-
titled TO eighteen delegates in the con
gressional convention to convene and be
held at Oklahoma City on the 18th inst,
and earnestly favor the selection OF said
number
"Fourth-We attest by our united ap-
proval the wisdom displayed by the ma
tional Democratic convention In the seiec-
tion of a standard bearer who has now,
and ever has had, the courage to oppose
and defy the mouied plonopolists and the
machine politicians at the cost of tempor-
arv defeat"
Judge Turner of Oklahoma City, upon
invitation, addressed the convention in his
own interest Mr. Turner is a rising attor-
ney, and made an excellent impression.
He arraigned the grand old party for It's
shortcomings and declared that the only
hope of this country being rescued from It's
present condition of bondage to monopoly
was in the election of Grover Cleveland.
He was followed by Mr.. Bray, who
tackled the tariff question. This was a
little too much, with the thermometer
registering 100 degrees, and the faithful
began to steal quietly away.
The convention was harmonious and ad-
journed with the consciousness or duty
well performed.
Dennis Flynn is gaining votes every day
and will run ahead of his ticket in county
A. His energy and loyalty to his friends
commend him to large number OF Demo
Gratis and Alliance men as the safest man
to send to Washington to look after Okla
homa's interests.
CHANDLER NOTES.
There is considerable sickness here,
mostly typho-malaria. 1t is caused, in
measure, by exposure and the disposition
on the part OF many, to drink surface
water. The springs, clear as crystal,
which abound prove fatal to the unwary.
Those who use well and cistern water are
not affected. Te same condition of things
obtained in Guthrie the first and second
summers of its existence.
The failure of the Bank of Oklahoma
has somewhat affected business. The
total liabilities are s., S64 81 and the assets
s., 425. 45. The sum of 81, 500 in cash has
been deposited with Peter 5. Hoffman by
the friends of the bank. If settlement
is agreed upon now by the creditors, the
money will be Immediately turned over
and the bank will pay 80 cents on the
dollar. This will leave the creditors the
right of action against the bank as cor
poration for the balance due them.
Under this settlement ". ID. Tyler, W. ID.
Lindsay aud NJ L. Wright will be releas-
ed from personal liability. 1t is generally
that this proposition will be
accepted. 1t certainly seems from a busi-
ness standpoint to be wise TO do so.
