Lcan party in the coming campaign.
" Resolved, That int homas B. Reed,

labors in behalf Of the Force bill, the
Blair educational bill, and the McKin-
ley tariff bill, and in putting final end
to Democratic obstruction has endeared
him to the people Of the nation, white
and black, and that for the many fav-
ors he has conferred upon US we are
truly grateful, and that we believe his
nomination for the great office OF presl-
dent of the United States would be en-
tirely satisfactory to every Republican
in Oklahoma territory.
Resolved, That in William B. ALI
son, of Iowa, we recognize one OF our
greatest statesmen and a tried and true
friend, who would fill the presidential
office with honor to the great west, Of

large.

northwest, Hon. Matthew Stanley Quay,
the grand leader Of the Republican
party, or Hon. Stephen B. Elkins, who
has recently raised his state from the
slough of Democracy to its proper place
in the Republican column, that the NOM
ination so made would meet with the
approval of the Republicans of Oklaho-
ma territory.
Resolved, That we favor the selec-
tion of delegation to represent the
territory OF Oklahoma in the st. Louis
convention who will lay aside all per-
sonal preferences, end all ambition for
office, and strive for the nomination OF
a man who will truly represent the
Republican party and who can be re-
lied upon to give the interests Of the ter
ritory of Oklahoma the consideration
which they deserve, and that We are not
in favor of sending any man as a dele
gate to the st. Louis convention who is
bound by any agreement or instruction
to support any one man.

man broad enough to lay aside all per-.
sonal preferences and to do what is 10
the best interests of the Republican
party and for the territory of Oklaho-
ma, and that as he is not seeking the
a fat federal job for himself, that we
hereby endorse him for position of dele
gate to the national convention.

Republican party of the nation upon
having such splendid array of talent
ented leaders, clean, honorable, upright
men, from whom to select a standard
bearer.

nanas from a fresh bunch and showing
them into his pocket. Wichman ran
out and demonstrated. He asked the
darkey to pay for the fruit, but Thomas
replied by cursing Wichman who finally
ran into the back room and grabbed
SS-calibre revolver. At the sight of the
gun Thomas rushed out of the store and
while IN the act Of picking up rock
was shot by Wichman. The ball enter
ed the right shoulder. two inches from
the spinal column and Doctors Landrum
and Cotteral say it may prove fatal.
After being shot, Thomas ran a block.
Wichman was arrested by officer Pot
etc and taken TO the city Jail Later in
the evening he was liberated on a bond
OF $500. with A. krebs as security.
Wichman has been here several years
and is an intelligent, peaceable and I'M
assuming man. He greatly deplores the
affair, but was unable to stand Thomas
thefts and insults.
Thomas lives at Perkins and Third
streets and his parents reside on a claim

last night Thomas was still alive, but
suffering great pain.
