IL il reported that the men
working in Mark Hanna' mines
in Michigan have asked their
master for a slight raise in
wages. They claim that their
condition is simply terrible, as
they can hardly keep alive on
the meager sums doled out to
them in payment for their toll.
Hanna refused any relief and
has put them off BY ordering
them to prepare a written
statement. And yet this man
asks the workingmen of the
country to vote for his man
Nc inley and for a continua-
ticn of their present distress.

will deliberately injure every

THERE is a special meeting
called for the Bryan and Sewall
club of Ardmore to be held
Tuesday night, next. Don't
get it mixed into your head that
they expect to do anything for
the good of the party. They
might possibly pass resolutions
endorsing Mckinley or Quincy,
but to do anything they ought
to do for democracy is out of
the question. We are in favor
of anything that can be done
for the cause of Bryan and free
silver, but we are tired of calls
without action. If the Bryan
and Sewall club of Ardmore,
means business, let it do bust
ness or forever hold its peace.
This little speech closes our eff
fort. The ARDMoREITE is for
the principles of democracy,
but it is against a continuance
of local democratic foolishness.
Meet Tuesday night by all
if such meeting means
business, otherwise stay at
home. Choose We whom you
will serve"

no longer draws trade from

llSnOnlngO, Il. l., sept. =.
AT the morning session of

McLish rendered his resigna-
ton TO that honorable body,
and in his address on that occa-
sion said:
i offer my resignation as a
member Of this body, not be-

been selected as one of the
Chickasaws before the Dawes
commission, renders me ineligi-
ble to the Office / know hold,
not that / think for one moment
that the constitution of our
government or any letter of its
statutes have been violated by
our chief executive, in the
appointment of myself and my
honorable colleague, Mr.. Chea-
die, nor by the legislature in
giving him the authority to
make such appointments, nor
because l think there can be
one word found in any Chicka-
saw law that would FORBID me
holding my office, and at the
same time filling my contract
with the government as one of
the counsel above mentioned ;
but l resign because / think
that in view of the onerous
duties that must necessarily
devOlve on me as a member of
said counsel will so far occupy
my time as to render me unable
to 10 my duty as a senator.
Now, in conclusion / wish
to say, in regard to all the talk
and nonsense that has been
heard and indulged in at Gov.
Harris expense. that he has
tnot violated the constitution,
because he has appointed no
one to any Office. Our consti-
tuition requires that all officers
take a certain oath. The bill
authorizing the appointment of
these attorneys does not call
them officers, and for further
proof that they are not officers
| call your attention to the fact
that the same bill provides for
the appointment by the COVER
nor of two attorneys who are
citizens of the United States to
assist us in our duties, and it is
we'll known that no United
States citizen can hold Office in
the Chickasaw nation"
