The Guthrie daily leader. [volume] (Guthrie, Okla.) 1893-1996, 1894-08-17

There is deer, bloody gore on the 20
litical mocn. AS THE LEADER predict |
ed, editoriolly, the Republicans and
negroes have clashed and deep. bloody
war is on to the butt end Of the knife
The Republicans Of the city last
night held their primaries to select
delegates to the nominating conven-
tion on Saturday. The politicians and
candidates who imagined they had
things coming their own way were
surprised: IN fact dunbfounded at the
bold and solid stand taken against
them by the rank and file, and partic-
clarly the negroes. Every ward was
the scene of bitter fight and states
were smashed to smithereens.
In the Third ward stiles and his
gang made a desperate attempt TO
freeze out the negro, and the Kelley
people were put to rout Machine del
egations were put mp and knocked
down like ten pins. In the west pre-
cinct Of the Fifth ward, the negroes
ran things with a high hand and
swore by the gods that they would
''have an Office this fall or bust" They
wil probably bust. In all the wards
n determined effort was made to
knife Ell Kelley, who is a formidable
rival of Painter for the nomination of
sheriff Every list of delegates was
cut and dried until it reelSed with
ranllness, and no man was selected as
delegate who entertained n spark OF
friendship for Kelley. The fight over
delegates was narrowed down to
Painter men and anti-painter men.
Stewart Russell was also given several
vicious slashes with the machine har-
poon. Boles. candidate for probate
Judge, man who continually runs 70
whiskers and Offices and who gets an
average Of Is votes in the ballot box,
sloshed ali oyer the negroes simul
taneously in every ward, but the in
clligeut coon hec led him not. Not
negro delegate in any Of the wards
is Boles man, although they are
willing TO bowl up when he runs out
the slush fund. A. Harris Huston and
Cole Martin both stood in with the
machine, while Goodrich aud Law
renee delegates broke even. Realiz-
Ing split was at hand Miss Bosworth,
candidate for county superin tendent,
did not put ia an appearance at her
ward-therefore she will be like the
bad bali PLAYER at the bat--Stryker
