In your reply to Mr.. Graham, of
Colorado, you. say he was one of the
iurymen, and that he left the box in
a huff as soon as the indictment was
read. | beg pardon, sir; there has
been no Indictment read. There is
no Indictment to read. The grand
iurv must have the evidence before
an Indictment can issue. Where is
the evidence for six months past !
have noticed dark hints, mysteri-
Gus insinuations and other vagaries,
all carefully reclining behind the.
shadow Of legal protection, and, to-
a man up tree, it looks as though
the growing popularity of Mrs.
Lease had overshadowed and OBJ
scured some puny striplings in
pants. who, with the ambition of a
glow-worm, were trying to cast
their spasmodic light over a benight-
ed world. Where is that evidende ?
When first heard of Mrs. Lease,
learned through the papers that
she had left Republicanism and
Joined the Union Labor party. She
had right to do it, and now, if she
wants to go back to Republicanism,
| will bid her farewell with regret,
if not with tears. If the Noncon.
wants to do the same thing, | will
say, Goodbye, Old boy; bless your
old bones, but damn your judg-
ment.
We are waiting for evidence.

he did, 1t must have been for cause,

rNpEpEnpnNr PLATFORM
Adopted at Carey's Ferry, Ind.
Ter, Monday, July Gath, 1903.

We the people Of Delaware district
in mass convention assembled, do or
dain and adopt the following platform
Of principles, and invite all men with.
out regard to race, color or previous
party afiiliation, to unite with us in
carrying out the policy herein indi-
Gated.
LIST, we believe this Cherokee gov
eminent should be Of, for and by its
citizens in opposition TO rings and
syndicates.
2ud, that sovereignty Is inherent in
the people, and that our public officers
should be public servants and not
public masters.
3rd, We believe IL TO be the duty Of
our representatives to obey the will Of
the people expressed in convention or
by petition, and that honesty and
competency should be the only tests
in filling positions OF public trust.
4th, We favor an honest, economical
administration Of our affairs and q
rigid enforcement Of our laws.
5th, We condemn the reckless ex-
penditure OF our public moneys and
their misappropriation TO private uses
that has fastened upon us public
debt Of more than two hundred thou
sand dollars bearing six per cent. in
terest.
9th, We oppose the appropriation Of
one dollar of the proceeds OF the sale
Of our Strip lands for the payment Of
said debt, but demand that It shall be
paid by those who are monopolizing
our farming, grazing aud mining priv
ileges.
9TH, We favor the equal rights Of all
classes Of our citizens.
slh, We favor the speedy enactment
Of such laws as will break up and for
ever destroy a monopoly of the lands
Of the Cherokee nation, by limiting
each citizen to bis or her pro rata
share ofthe public domain.
9th, We favor system Of taxation
that will take the burden Of govern
ment of the shoulders of the poor AMI
place it upon all in proportion to their
ability to pay.
10th, We demand that every dollar
of the proceeds Of our bonds be paid
out to the people per capita; and
should our authorities fail to cash said
bonds at an early day on account OF
the stringency II money matters or
from any other cause, we ask for a di-
vision Of the bonds aud that they be
issued to the citizens per capita and
thereby prevent the bankruptcy Of our
rSorShapts end the stagnatIon o. oof
business generally.

The Ohttle Market.

The Kansas City branch Of the
Campbell Commission Go. writes Nat
skinner as follows on the subject Of
the cattle market, dated July 81;
1--WE have experienced an exceed
ingly dull and draggy market owing TO
money stringency, but firmly believe
we have seen the worst and are now at
bottom. While recovery may be some
what slow, yet. we think the fact that
there is favorable outlook in this and
adjoining states, In fact, all through
the corn belt, for a splendid crop. must
exert some influence on the :atare
course Of trade, which We are certain
1t would was money Easy and financial
matters settled.
Receipts for this time Of the year are
quite moderate, but the demand is not
as good as usual, and only fat cattle
are wanted; so we would advise you to
hold yours. unless fat, for grass costs
you but a nihe, and we believe it the
best COURSE"
