DEMoUEAro TERRITORIAL PLAT

FORM.
Tie following is the platform
adopted by the Democratic territorial
convention at El Reno, Aug. 1;
/. We, the Democrats Of Oklahoma,
do now pledge anew our loyalty and
allegiance to the Democratic party
and TO the principles as enunciated in
the Chicago platform of lS92.
We believe that all lands in the
Cherokee strip and other additions to
Oklahoma should be free to honest
settlers and that the Republican laws
demanding pay therefor should be re-
pealed.
3. We heartily approve the Wilson
bill as passed by the national house of
representatives, as the best expression
of tariff reform that can be secured at
the present time, and we heartily en-
dorse the honest and patriotic position
ot Grover Clevelan! in endeavoring TO
secure its passage.
L. We favor the free and unlimited
coinage of American silver at the ratio
of 1G to /.
8. We favor the income tax law
now sought TO be enacted by the Dem
ocrats of congress, and believe that
the income of the ~ich should bu taxed
rather than the necessities of the
poor
6. We sympathize with the labor
organizations of the country in all
their just demands when made in a
peaceable and lawful manner.
Z We believe that the members Of
the United States senate should be Sc
lected by the direct vote of the people
and that their term of Office should
not exceed four years.
5. We heartily endorse our present
Democratic National and Territorial
administrations and challenge a com
parisou of tho same with their Repub-
lican predecessors.
O. We favor the immediate opening
to settlement and entry OF the Kicka-
poo, Kiowa, Comanche and Wichita
Indian reservations
10. We favor the modification of the
rules of practice in the land depart
meut so that contest cases may be
heard upon the land in controversy,
and the cost of hearing the same may
be reduced. That the registers and
receivers of the various land offices be
provided with additional help, to the
end that contests may be more
specuily anu econ Ohllcdlly heaTu anu
determined.
IL. We demand such legislation as
will require all railway companies to
afford proper. transportation facilities
in all county seat towns through
which they pass in this territory.
12, We respectfully recommend and
request that our national administra-
tion remove all hold-oVer Republican
Office holders in this territory and APP
point Democrats iu their stead.

THE NAKED TRUTH.

A telegram from Denver announces
the arrival In that city Of an excur-
sion party Of 1000 Kansans who have
gone to Colorado with view TO secur-
ing homes and busines locations. In
view Of the political situation in Kan
sas and the distress that prevails as
the result of the maladministration Of
the Republican and Populist parties,
it is no wonder the intelligent and en-
terprising citizens want to get out
1t is no secret that Kansas has lost
many thousands Of citizens within the
past fiye years, and it is equally true
that most of them left on account Of
conditions brought about by vicious
legislation and corrupt administra-
tion.
There is a valuable lesson in this TO
Oklahoma at this particular moment.
II the example in Kansas in political
methods is followed here we cannot
out expect like results Oklahoma
wants immigration; it wants an in
aux Of enterprising people with
capital TO identify themselves with
US and assist in developing the re-
sources Of the country and adding to
the wealth and prosperity of the com
munity; but the blind suicidal policy
Of the Republican party, nor the policy

rnr PEOPLE Nor rnoLs.

II has become sufficiently apparent
.hat the Republicans are making no
headway ia this campaign to utterly
ref ute their claim that they will in
crease their party representation in
the next congress In fact it is
will retain their present mem bership.
The reason for this is so apparent
that everybody must see it. Having
absolutely nothing to recommend the
party to the / eople for support so far
as the party's action since it was re-
pudiated upon its billion dollar
record in the Fiftyfrst congress, its
plan of campaign has been one of de-
nunciation of Democracy for undoing
its monopoly and trust building work,
the very thing the Democrats were
placed in charge Of the government to
do. That more was not done in the
way Of reforming the abuses
that had grown up under
the control of the Republican
party, many OF them partaSing the
nature of vested rights, was because
of the obstructive methuds employed
by that party, aided by corporate in.
fluences.
1t cannot be denied that there has
been great unrest, not to say inn
patience, among the people generally
at the tardiness Of promised reforms
Nor is it surprising that such state OF
feeling should exist when we consider
the extent and degree Of suffering
that has been wrought and was still
weighing down upon the people. But
there is nothing ia all this of advan.
tage to the Republican party. Its
record Is established. 1t has done
nothing to indicate that it would not
pursue its former policy OF legislating
for the favored classes in such a way
as to oppress ind impoverish the
masses IL it were restored TO power.
Knowing this the people of tho
country are not so impressible
and idiotic as to again trust
that party with control Of the govern
ment. Self preservation is the first
law of nature, and when the material
interests of the intelligent people are
placed in the balances with party ad-
vantage, to be sacrificed and thrust
down that the othcr,-which in mos
cases simply means the personal pre-
ferment OF some ambitious politician -
may go up, it is not surprising that
the people revolt and refuse to take
the chances of having to make the
sacrifice.
This is the situation. The Demo,
cratic party having fulfilled its
pledges, in good part, to right the
peoples wrongs and having evinced O
determination to complete the work
begun at the earliest possible day, II
Is presumptious to suppose that il
viii be turned out and the enery OF
the masses restored to power.

roK rREE noME-.

In justice to settlers upon public
lands on which Republican congress
put a price contrary to the uniform
practice OF the government, and TO
place them on an equal footing with
all other homestead settlers, the un-
equal and unjust law should be re-
pealed. This Hon. Joseph Wisby
stands committed to accomplish, and
being IN harmony with the control
ling party in congress and having the
cooperation and support of the adj
ministration he will have little diff
Guilty in securing such righteous legis-
lation. Dennis Flynn can never ac-
eomplish anything in this direction.
His open and senseless attacks upon
the administration and the party in
control of congress on the door of the
house lost him all sympathy and re-
spect from the majority party and so
compromised him as representative
that whatever of usefulness he may
have had is destroyed. He is abso-
lutely without weight or in huenee for
good, and his presence would be
detriment To the best interests of Ok
lahoma rather THAI an advantage
His reelection would be costly mis-
take.

1898, died Sept. 8, 1894, aged 10 months

loss. Little Eliza bore his suffering with
much patience for two long weeks with
that dreadful disease, cholera intantum
