THE BOOMERS.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kan. Aug % - Ihe
proclamation by the president opening the
I,herokee strip to settlement caused much
excitement among the boomers. ne ar
rangements for the opening met with gen
eral approval, with the exception OF the
requirement. which obliges each home
seeker to register and receive certificate
before being allowed to enter the strip
Land lawyers say that the requirement. Is
OBVIOUSLY illegal, and advise settlers to
pay no attention TO it, but to enter the strip
On the opening day and take ap claims in
she usual way. The addition of registra-
ion TO the settlers other qualifications,
SAY the LAWYERS. is virtually amending the
homestead laws, which neither the presi-
dent nor Secretary Smith has the power
to do.
Another change in the opening arrange
ment meets with the heartiest approval,
and that j. the plan TO place all police reg
ulations in the hands OF United States
troops, instead of deputy United States
lmarshals, as was the case IN the OKLA
homa opening. Four troops of cavalry
from Fort Reno. Fort Elliott and Fort
Riley are now on tier way 10 the stlp.
They viii keep sooners off the land, pro-
tect the settlers, and have charge OF all
police arrangements. When Oklahoma
was opened ths deputy marshals TOOK ad-
vantage of their official position to gobble
townsite lots and desirable claims, much
to the prejudice of legitimate homeseek-
ers. United States troops will have
ieither the opportunity nor the inrlina-
lion to SO conduct themselves, and each
settler will have a fair chance without
discrimination.

national encampment Of the Farmers
Alliance assembled at Mount Gretna park
today. Three thousand people assembled
IN the main auditorium to hear addresses.
William Banning OF WalDutvale. Pa,
adv ocated the free coinage of silver in
PENNSYLVANIA Dutch language.
j. NJ. Thompson of Iadiaua county,
Pennsylvania, state lecturer of the Penn
syIvania Farmers Alliance, spoke on the
same side of the money question. He said
that the money power had sue
ceeded in demonetizing silver. The
next political move would be
when they had it In their power to pre-.
vent IA panic. The government bad com
mitted positive crime when 1t contracted
the currency between 1866 and 1873. Con-
traction of the currency had done all the
mischief. There was no money in the
country and no party to give money.
When the farmers should come into
power-aud they were going into power,
the very gates OF hell could not prevent il
they would give more money. The

DEs MONIES, Ia, Aug. 23-The Demo-
cratic convention was called to order at
1880 o'clock this morning. In his speech
Temporary Chairman Vollmer made mem
tion of Governor Boies AS possible candi-
date for reelection. The reference called
out a great demonstration. The selection
Of the regular committees was then begun.
After :he committees were announced
the convention adjourned to O'Clock p.
m., with an apDHreut certainty OF the re-
nomination of Governor BoIes. The goY-
ernor said this morning that his letter de-
cliniug to run third time was sincere, but
that be was willing to subordinate mis-
wishes to the wishes of the Democratic
party. The complexion OF the committee
on resolutions insure conservative silver
ut tsrances.
At the afternoon session permanent
organization was effected. After the adop-
tion of the platform the following nomina-
tious were made:
Governor-Horace BOies.
Lieutenant governor-James L. Bestow
(renominated).
Judge of the supreme court-John Clag-
gett.
Railway commissioner - Ex-Congress-
man Bowman.
Superintendent of public Instruction..
B. keucepiler of Alloman county.
The platform indorses the adminstra.
tion of Governor Boies and expresses cou-
fidence in the administration of Grover
Cleveland; contends that the present de-
plorable condition of the country is due TO
the last Republican administration, the
Mckinley tariff and the Sherman law, the
fostering of trusts and class legisla-
ton in favor of the rich; re-
lterates devotion to the cause OF
tariff reform: denounces the SHERMAN
act and demands its immediate repeal:
holds to the use Of both gold and silver AS
standard money of the country and the
coinage Of both gold and silver without
Discrimination, but the dollar unit of
coinage of both metals must be of equal
intrinsic and eXchangable value. to be ad-
justed through international agreement
or by such safeguards OF legislation as shall
insure the maintenance Of the parity of the
two metals" favors just and liberal PEN
sions to deserving veterans, but urges that
the names of all fraudulent and illegal
pensioners be eliminated from the rolls;
demands the passage of a carefully guard
ed local license law; urges equal taxation,
aud deals with all state issues.
