Possible-Oklahoma News.
Guthrie, o. T., June 24.-The Demo
Gratis are preparing to make a desper-
ate fight on Dennis Flynn The Guth-
RE Leader contains the following this
morning:
Judge Alexander, register of the A9va,
| Woods county, land Office, was regist-
cred at the Royal yesterday. The judge
is an ex-Texan, sat in the legislature of
| that state with Temple Houston, and
is a postgraduate in the newspaper
business. His Democracy and his nerve
are never questioned, as those who at
| tended the late Democratic convention
at Oklahoma City viii doubtless affirm.
What will be the action Of the Chi
cago convention" the Leader man ask
ed him.
"a free silver platform, promising the
coinage of the white metal free. indie
pendent, unlimited and immediate In
saying this l do not wish TO be under
stood as stating my views; 1 think the
vast majority OF our party are that
way and that the delegates will pre-
ponderate TO almost the tWo-rhirds
line"
"Will the silver men be strong
enough to name candidates of positive
views in this directien?"
Yes. Their fighting blood is up and
they Will not be content with anything
else. IF necessary, the time Sonored
rule Of two-thirds necessary 20 a, choice
will be trampled out. They are going
to draw the line tight and straight and
make the issue square"
Replying TO a question as TO the
strength of such a ticket the Judge was
positive in the assertion of his belief
that it would be a winner. Three
months ago the stoutest Democratic
heart could not see a ray of hope; to-
day the party never looked forward to
a campaign with brighter prospect of
success. The silver idea is dominant
in nine-tenths of the states. and with
anything like consolidation it must
prevail"
What about our home fght?"
There are a score of good Demo-
Gratis in the territory that can put
a cyclone face on Dennis and beat him
hands down. Temple Houston with
US, or Horace Hagan of this place,
could easily make the free home freak
hunt fraid' hole. Flynn has been
so long on promise and short on fulfill |
ment that our people are going to look |
round for man that represents some !
thlng else besides a mouth with a |
trigger"
