SEEKING THE 1897 MEETING.
Five cities HIVE Already Jumped Into
the EiClI,

The general committee Is in receipt OF
invitations to hold the next convention,
which meets in 1897, at Buffalo, Denver,
indianapolis, Cleveland and Chicago. The
location of the conventions is decided by
the general committee, which hears the
arguments to be presented by the advo-
Gates of the places desiring TO have the
meeting. and then either decides the matter
then and there or takes further time to
fully investigate the matter. as the situa-
tion seems to warrant. The plan. so far as
matured, is to have the representatives of
the several points named above appear before
the general committee on Saturday of this
week and present their respective claims.
Each point has a strong delegation on the
ground and the contest is warming up. Sur
face indications seem to favor Chicago at
this time, but the other cities are making
1t interesting for the Windy city.

received:
1.-The impression has been created by
some papers that Mr.. Watson is now

lung trouble, while another 50 misstated
the facts and misrepresented Mr.. Wat

at ALL but pretending to be. from some
cause-that he was out looking after his
different farms in the country, etc.
I'm justice to Mr.. Watson, I state
that when he returned from his last
speaking tour, his throat was in fear

and his general system was beginning to
be impaired by it, but 1t SOON yielded to
treatment and he is now in his usual

| Flynn. but he spoke not as a partisan
but as citizen of Oklahoma, having the
| future permanency and welfare of the
| territory at heart. Hobbs, doubtless,
had all this in mind when he penned his
| happy little epistle TO Grimes. but he
played on his name in giving even mod
crate reproduction of the haZy reflex OF
his thought bin.
FLYNN'S PORTION.
''The issue in this campaign is the fl
nanoial question. The free homes ques-
ton has nothing to do with naming ma
terial for congress. The measure, hsv-
ing passed the house, Is out of Flynn
reach and he can be no more adroit and
influential in worming il through the
senate than Congressman Lacey, whose
bill bears Flynn's name. The next con-
gress, or at least the senate, will be COM
posed entirely of silver men. Callahan,
being free silver man OF sterling worth
can, if elected, exercise more influence
in the uppen house than Flynn, Re-
publican, and an avowed exponent Of
the existing gold standard fallacy. So,
in the event Of Mr.. CaEahan's election
and free silver presiding officer in the
senate, the free homes measure win ex-
perience brighter sailing than 1T did in
the house under Flynn's care. That Mr.
Flynn allowed the free homes bill to rest
in obscurfty after pushing, it through
the house, in order TO make a campaign
this year on his great work, IS known
to an Okiahomans. That he did no more
than other congressman for yearly sal
airy Of 5000 is certain, and his frantic
efforts to make a self-a dulatory cam
paign on a measure favored by all and
opposed by none, regardless of party,
shows at a place the utter poverty of
the Republican territorial Platform,
which declares for nothing positively
save unqualified antagonism to the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at ra-
ton of Is to l.
FINAL WHACK AT HOBBS.
''Mr Callahan has made brilliant
campaign thus far; his every meeting
has proved an ovation. He has dis
cussed the free silver issu@tlhe only
issu-fairly, intelligently and honestly,
and his work was free from tangle enf
bGbble until Chairman Hobbs dnaugu-
rated his pudgy spectacular perform
ance at Mulhall and let slip a glowing,
radiant opportunity TO show up the Re
publican pic-hunters as a blatant, bio
waiting gang of unframed hoodfums, thus
arousins the deserved resentment of
all decent voters and finally landing
Callahan in congress by majority far
exceeding the expectations of rhe most
sanguine True dt is that Callahan will
be landed there anyway, but think Of the
klcry attending triumphant, regal, tow
ering victory
Hobbs may interpret law and know
how to shoe horses, but he is too prudish
and loliing to know what disposition to
make Of the box-office receipts during
