Dennis Flynn Draws Immense Crowds and
Makes Many Votes.

Kingf1sher, o. T., Oct. 22-There is no
danger of using terms of exaggeration
in writing Of the reception given in hon
or of Hon. Dennis r. Flynn in this city
nary Monday night. The most extrav-
agant terms that could be used would
not more than do justice to the demon
stration. The city began filling up in
the morning and by the time the speak
ing began fully 5000 people were around
the opera house. A grand procession
on horse back and in carriages, formed
at $50 in front of the opera house and
moved north, preceded by the HenneS-
sey Cornet band, to meet Mr.. Flynn.
The procession was about two miles
long and presented a grand spectacle.
moving with flaming torches and gay
celors. When Mr.. Flynn reached the
opera house every available seat was
taken and all the standing room, in
Guiding the hall and all the approaches
was packed. Fully 1 900 people were
within the sound OF Mr.. F1ynn's voice
Those who could not get close enough
TO Mr.. Flynn TO hear his speech, organ
lied overflow meetings at the court
house and in front Of the United States
land Office. The court room was packed
to its utmost capacity and the crowd
in front OF the land Office was fully as
large as that in the court room. The
crowd at the court house was address
ed by Senator Frank Giilett and Hon
job l. Ollie of Ell Reno, and Captain j.
j. Hassler OF Enid, and Judge w p
Brownlee of Eingfisher addressed the
gathering at the land Office.
Nobody In the territory can make
better or more forcibIe speech than Mr..
Flynn and he never made a batter che
than he delivered Monday night. He
proved every statement made in his
speech by official records. No wonder

uNeshes OF falsehocd and ignorance in
his Mulhall speech. did rot want to raees
Dennis FLYNN in joint debate. Dennis
showed by the records and by letters
from members Of congress that II was
