The last few weeks has witnessed
great uneasiness among the sound

party leaders are very wide Of each

Transcript seems as far OF in its OVID
conclusions as the Cleveland admins

go that the effect of free coinage would
be To leave us nothing but deprecated
silver money, and that all prices would
be doubled. The Transcripts says the
gold would be driven out and prices
would fall 30 per cent Here Is diff
ference of about 100 per cent between
these great authorities as 70 the effect
of free coinage on prices and on the

GREER CoUNTY,s OFFICERS.

When the supreme court had the
Greer county case under consideration,
and before it had decided that it be-
| longed TO the United States and not
Texas it was generally understood that
the people of Greer county did not want
to be attached to Oklahoma. They had
been for years part Of Texas and they
wanted to remain so.
When they were detached from Tex
as, the Eagle suggested that the present
officers elected in that county should
be allowed to retain their Offices until
the expiration OF their term.
This was the just thing TO do. The
! people OF Greer county are as far re-
moved in habits and customs from
| those Of Oklahoma as Texas is from
Oklahoma, and it would not be treating
the Greer county people right TO Gust
/ their duly elected officers
Still il seems that it had been planned
| for Governor Renfrow, the Denocra tic
| executive of Oklahoma, 10 acquire pres
| tige at once in Greer county by appoint
! ing new men from Greer county TO the
offices, or by re-appOinting the old ones
| and thus obligstins them TO the Demo
cratic ring OF oklahoma.
Last week Dennis Flynn settled this
in congress. A bill was up for the
establishment OF Greer county. Okla
bona. and It's government. In one
place it provided that
The governor OF Oklahoma shall
forthwith appoint for said county the
same officers ss are provided by law
for other counties of Oklahoma, who
shall have the same powers and duties.
receive the same compensation. ard
/ hold Office until their successors shall
be provided BY the legislature OF Okla
/ homE.
This Dennis Flynn had stricken on,
and this line supplied in its place:
The present county officers OF saIsf

UntH ne successors are elected ard

In explaining the reason for this Mr..
