The Republicans started out at the
beginning of this campaign with the
bold declaration that The Democratic
party had not kept ITS promises Of re-
form: that II had done nothing for the
relief of the people, aud therefore
was an admission that the country and
the people were in distress, and that
their party was responsible for it.
The admission was and is true, but
the boosters are not so loud in their
boasting now. The work of the last
congress and the reforms instituted
by the administration are already
bearing fruit The expenses of the
government have been reduced nearly
$50, 600, 600 year; the treasury has
been saved from bankruptcy and the
credit Of the government re establish
ed; commerce and industries are reviv-
iug aad will soon reach their normal
condition of activity; the cost of living
reduced to the people, and the way
opened for AN era of general prosper
ity.
In short, when the magnitude of the
undertaking that confronted the
Democratic party when it assumed
control Of the government is consid
ere,', and the cumulative obstacles
which were thrown in their way, IL i;
a matter OF profound wonder that Sc
so much has been accomplished, anC
next to miraculous that in the shor
space of year and . half more wat
done for the relief and benefit of tn,
whole people than was ever accom-
plshed by any other party anywhere
in the same length of time in the his
tory Of the world.
With such a record, which is known
by every well informed citizen of tn,
republic, it is no wonder the Republi
cans are depressed and spiritless
There is no inspiration for them.

DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL PLAT
FORM,

DEMOCRATIC TERRITORIAL PLAT
FORM.
The following is the platform
adopted by the Democratic territorial
convention at lei Reno, Aug. /:
/. 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 1892.
. 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 tune, and we heartily en-
dorse the honest and patriotic position
OF Grover Cleveland in endeavoring to
secure its passage
4. We favor the free aud unlimited
coinage Of American silver at the ratio
Of 10 To /.
5. We favor the income tax law
now sought TO be enacted by the Dem
ocrats of congress, and believe that
the income OF the rich should be taxed
rather than the necessities of the
poor
G. We sympathize with the labor
organizations of the country in all
their just demands when made In
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,
s We heartily endorse our present
Democratic National aud Territorial
administrations aud challenge a com
parison of the same with their Repub-
lican predecessors.
o. We favor the immediate opening
to settlement and entry of the KiclSa-
poo, Kiowa, Comanche and Wichita
Indian reservations.
10. We favor the modification of the
rules of practice in the land depart
ment so that contest cases may be
heard upon the land in controversy,
aud 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
speedily and economically heard and
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.
IL. We respectfully recommend and
request that our nayonal admiRistra-
tion remove all hold-cver Republican
Office holders in this territory and APP
point Democrats In their stead.

REPUBLICAN organs and orators can l.
not wipe out the fact nor explain it
away, that the most disastrous period
to the business interests of this coun-
try was the three and half years
covered by the operations of the Me
Kinley law, the elimination of the
policy of protection for projections
sake. But, thanks to the determinate
honesty and courage of the Demo-
cratic party, that era is passed never
to be experienced again, unless the
people should, in an unguarded mo-
ment, suffer the party OF spoliation
TO regain control of the government

THE records of the sheriffs Office
are in some instances of vital impor-
tance to the county and to the citi-
zen, and shsuld, therefore, be kept
with scrupulous accuracy. 1t is "a
notorious fact that the records of that
important Office in Logan county,
what little there are under the pres
ont regime, are in such chaotic con
dition that a Philadelphia expert
would not he able 10 make heads or
tails of them. Is there any met thod'
in this bunging, unbusiness-like way
of doing the public bus mess?

BE it enacted by the senate aud

ment and entry, aud the proclama-
/ tions of the president pursuant there
/ to, shall not be sustained, where such

THE Democratic candidates for
county offices in Logan county, every
one of them, are pledged To administer
their offices honestly and in the inter
est of the people, not only but to
bring the expenditures OF public
money within the present income Of

any kind Of taxation. Now is the
time to stop the growing demand for
more and more of the substance of the

IF, as Benjamin Harrison says, a
cheap coat denotes n cheap man; and
as Wm. Mckinley declares cheap
sugar makes a prosperous man, will
scme other good protectionist Repub-
lican tell us what sort of a man cheap
wheat makes? Under the reign of
high protection for quarter of a
century we have seen the price Of
that great staple pressed down from
81. so to so cents bushel, which is
certainly cheap enough for that school
of economists to Ggure on.

The most the Populists hope for in
the coming congressional election is TO
secure enough members for the next
house to give them the balance of
power SO that, in case the election of

force the election Of a Populist for
president The logic and argument ID
worthy of Mrs. Toodles.
