Some persons never know when they
have enough or when the people have
enough Of them, aud Joseph wisby rs
one After leading the party to the
rear Of the procession aud taking its
vote down TO the low water ma -k in this
territory, he began like the snake that
he is to sink his fangs into every man
he had held up to defray the expenses
Of his disastrous campaign.
After a considerable period OF this
sort OF whacking he attenIed the
late Democratic convention at Oklaho-
ma Ci,y lie sank out Of sight in the
Logan county delegation, and when
by chance his name was mentioned on
the floor Of the convention as being
upon some committee, storm OF
Kisses and groans burst involuntarily
from the delegates. Later he was
picked up, punched, peeled crimred,
curled and sat upon by such stalwarts
as Ross, King and others. 1t was dis
covered that he was backing Keaton
for delegate and the convention
promptly put Keaton down. Nothing
that he touched or had any connection
with received the sanction OF the con
vontion
Now he goes about the streets ex-
hibiting a letter from Senator Vest
coDgratulating him (Wisby) upon Sc
curing the instruction Of the oklaho-
ma delegation for Bland Who told
Senator Vest that Wisby had anything
to do with IL? Certainly no one could
have done so but Wisby, himself As
a matter of fact Wisby never knew
such a resolution was to be offered
until it was presented to the resolu
tious committee. II he had supported
it in any way openly or secretly, as he
generally does his work, that support
would have been its death kneli.
Bland is good man lie is The in
carnation OF the silver idea in America
Oklahoma is for him. Our delegation
will do everything in honor to secure
his nomination, and IL nominated he
will be elected. But the Missouri sen
ator must know that the people in Ok
lahoma have no more regard for MIR.
Wisby than have the people in the dis
trict in which he lived in Missouri;
that his word is not worth any more
here than there; that it is no better
written than spoken; that in either
event before accepting it those who
know him will calmly figure the pro-
pev discount.
No, Senator Mr. Joseph Wisby did
not get the Oklahoma delegation in
strlcted for Bland; nothing would be
further from their intention than to
carry out his will in any particular at
Chicago

To SHOW how complete is the aban-
donment OF the old-time faith and
principles OF the Republican party and
its surrender TO the gold standard
power, the national platform adopted
at the ST. Louis convention does not
contain line or word against monop-
olies and trusts, or even a syllable in
favor OF regulating the interstate rail-
way traffic for the protection of the
rights of the people Such an aban-
donment Of principles heretofore re-
gardei as the life-blood Of the Repub-
lican party in all its national cam
paigns is a most suspicious circum-
stance, and it is not at all strange that
the people generally, with many OF
the party's old-time leaders, refuse TO
be bound 10y any such jugglery with

REPUBLICANS AND WALL STREET.

On March 90, 1896, the American
Bankers Association, with offices at
No. ?, Wall street, issued the follow.
ing circular:
The executive council OF the Ameri-
can Bankers association declare une-
quivocally in favor Of the maintenance
OF the existing gold standard OF value,
and recommend to all bankers, and to
the customers Of all banks, the eXer-
els Of ali their influence as citizens in
their vai iuus states to select delegates
20 toe puiui al conventions OF both
the great parties, who will declare un-
c luivocally IN favor OF the mainien-
ance % the existing gold standard.
The Republican national convention
was v ry quick TO follow in Wall
streets leai. Indeed, the Republican
platform is but the echo of Wall street
This reminds us that we have a high
Republican authority doubling the
wisdom OF permitting the money
power to dictate to the people Of this
country. In his famous speech on the
Monroe doctrine, John ". Thurston
said; The English people profess to
believe that they can weaken our pur-
pose and compel us to abandon the
Monroe doetrine by threats and de-
monstrations against American securi-
ties and American commercial inter
ests. We solemnly advise them that
our foreign policy is not matter of
exchange or barter; and no financial
panic can ever induce us for u single
moment to lower the standard Of our
national honor"
And then Senator Thurston, in allud-
ing to Senator Walcott's defense OF
Great Britain, said
81 cannot believe that the views OF
the senator from Colorado will com
mend themselves to the deliberate
judgment Of the American people,
They may be satisfactory To the money
changers. England can crack the
whip for them, but, thank God, the
money changers are not the custodians
of the national conscience. They may
be approved by Wall street, for Wall
street represents that powerful for
eign syndicate which seeks TO domi-
nate the financial and industrial policy
OF this country, bat Wall street cannot
dictate TO the senate OF the United
States. II our people ever become so
senile and degraded as to be willing Ia
