Election Was a Farce.

ENID, Okla. Oct. 14.-For the third
time since the opening of the strip, this
city yesterday held an election for
municipal officers. The whole proceed
jngs were the broadcast kind of farce.
Gangs of alien voters were imported
from the government town, people were
brought in from adjoining claims. the
gamblers took possession of the place,
and there was polled at least thrice as
many votes as an honest census of the
population would indicate. The affair
was disgraceful in every feature. Good
citizens are indignant and do not hest
tate to assert that the farcical affair will
UNNECESSARILY iniure the city.

A Drawn Battle,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE continu-
Gus session of the senate, beginning
Wednesday, is not felt to have been so
decisive on either side as was expect
ed. The repealers are disappointed
at the capacity of the silver men
to make speeches. The silver men had
hoped that when this was demonstrated
to the repealerS they would conclude to
abandon the bill or consent to postpone
its further consideration. The result is
practically drawn battle. All, except
few of the extreme repeal men, admit
that the only way out is by compromise.
