campaign in New York city was held
under the auspices of the Democratic
Honest Money League of America in
Madison Square Garden, where Hon.
w. Bourke Cochran addressed an i'm
mense audience with speech entitled,
Gin Opposition to Reputation.
Mr.. Cochran had been selected to an
of his opposition to the Chicago plat
form, and because of his reputation as
an orator which he had earned by his
participation in the tariff debates of two
congresses, and by his famous protest
against the nomination of Mr.. Cleve-
land, delivered at daybreak four years
ago. The hall was gaily decorated and
in place of the small platform from
which Mr.. Bryan had spoken was
erected big stage wherein were seated
many of the

placed in the Garden and all of them
were filed when Mr.. Cochran advanced
to the front of the platform and was
greeted by tremendous cheer, men
climbing upon their chairs and waving
little American flags which had been
strewed through the hall. Three hearty
cheers were given for Mckinley and
there were misses when gallery god
yelled whats the matter with
Bryant?
His Reasons for Being There.
In beginning his speech Mr. Cochran
said:
This campaign, stripped of all verbal
disguise, is an issue Of common honesty,
ID issue between the honest discharge and
dishonest reputation Of public and pri-
waite obligations 1t is a question as to
whether the powers of this governments
shall be used to protect honest industry or
to tempt the citizen to dishonesty. On
this question honest men cannot differ.

A~swEns rLYSN.s RESOLUTION
The Reply Made by the Secretary OF Inten
Tor - Complete.

,phhBhttt
Speaker Reed laid before the house
Tuesday n letter from Secretary OF
interior transmitting a reply to Dele
gate Flynn's resolution asking the rea-
sons for the delay in the alloting of the
lands on the Wichita reservation to the
Indians and opening the surplus land
to settlement. The secretary shows
h the lands occupied by the Wich-
TIA Indians are part OF what Is known
as the leased district" ceded by the
Choctaws and Chickasaws to the Unit
ed States. There is, the secretary
shows. a difference of opinion as to
whether the Choctaws and Chickasaws
conveyed to the United States an abb
solute title to the lands. or whether
they ceded them only for the purpose
OF allowing them to be used for locat-
ing thereon friendly Indians. The mat
ter Ia now before the court of claims
for adjudication, and the secretary
says that he has delayed suggesting to
the president the appointment of al
loting agents on account of the disad-
vantages which might accrue from
having allotments made and the sur
plus lands thrown open to settlement
before the claim of the Choctaws and
Chickasaws is adjusted. The litigation
before the court of claims, the secre-
tary continues, certainly involves the
title Of the lands to be allotted, as well
ls the lands 20 he opened.
AS TO KINFOLKS.
h resolution also inquiries whether
any of the s%ecretary's connections or
relations by blood or marriage are act
Ing as attorneys for the Indians or any
party or parties interested in delaying
the opening Of the same to settlement.
In reply to this part of the inquiry, the
secretary says:
Andrew A. Lipscomb of Washing
ton Is the husband of the second cous-
in of my wife. He is one of the counsel
for the Wichitas in the litigation grow
Ing out Of the claim by the Choctaws
and Chickasaws for the reversionary
interest in the land occupied by the
Wichitas. l attach a copy of the con-
tract made by the Wichitas with their
attorneys. 1t will be seen that the
compensation of the counsel for the
Wichitas Is to be a percentage of the
money derived from the sale of the sur
plus land in case 1t is decided hat the
and C~hickasaws have no re-
~versionary interest in those lands. l
not aware of any interest WHICH the
for the Wichitas can have in
delaying the allotment and the sale of
lands. No one has ever eug-
gested an interest or a desire on their
