its utmost capacity by the many friends
of the happy couple from this and sur
rounding towns; Oklahoma City and
Guthrie being well represented.
Those officiating were Elder T. N
Horner the pioneer minister or Oklaho-
ma and Rev. r. f. Myers.
AS Elder Horner has married more
couples than any other minister in this
territory il is only natural that the
ceremony was as beautiful as it was
impressive.

wedding march played by one OF Ed
mond's most accomplished musicians,
Mrs. c. J. Bowman, announced 10 the
audience that the appointed time hac

COUNTING ON TRUMBuLL

Chicago, Dec. Pin the opinion of
the chief of the Peoples party of Chi
cago, Judge Lyman Trumbull has Civ
en- to his couptrymen a paper that will
have as much to do with perpetuating
his name as the history of the thir-
tenth amendment to the constitution
which he drafted more than a quarter
of a century ago. 1t is a declaration
of principles for the guidance of the
Peoples party Of the United States and
it consists of a series of resolutions
which are to be made the basis of
work of the National Peoples party
conference which will convene at st.
Louis tomorrow morning. The paper
as it viii go before the St. Louis con-
vention is as follows:
Resolved, That human brotherhood
and equality of rights is the cardinal
principle OF true Democracy.
Resolved. That forgetting all past
political difference we unite in COM
mon to rescue the government from the
control of monopolists and concentra-
ted wealth. to limit their powers of per-
petuation by curtailing their privileges
and to secure the right of free speech
free press, free labor, and trial by jury,
all rules, regulations and judicial dicta
in the derogation of either of which are
arbitrary and unconstitutional, and not
to be tolerated by free people. We In
dorse the resolution adopted by the ma
tional Republican convention of 1860,
which was incorporated by President
Lincoln in his inaugural address, hold
ing that the rights of states TO govern
our affairs is essential.
Resolved. That the power given con-
gresS by the constitution to provide for
calling forth the militia TO execute the
laws OF the Union. to suppress insurrec-
ton and to repel invasions does not
warrant the government In making use
Of the standing army for aiding mono
poles in the oppression OF their en-
pioyes. When freemen unsheath the
sword il should be TO strike for liberty.
not for despotism or TO uphold privileged
nnonopolies in their assumption OF
power.
We denounce issuing interest bearing
bonds by the government in the tire
of peace TO be paid for by gold drawn
from the treasury, which results in the
government paying interest on its own
money. We demand that congress per
form its constitutional duty to coin
money, regulate the value thereof and
Of foreign coin by enactment Of laws
for the free coinage Of silver with thai
of gold at a ratio of IS TO 1. We inscribe
on our banners, Down with monopo-
lies and millionaire control Up with
the rights of men and the masses" ard
under this banner we march to the polls
and TO victory.
