Inc ullfd MChJuley IItH were AO4 al
instructed st. Louis delegation. They
have said not; and yet they have been
sc active and so contrary to all appeals
for the good Of the territory that it has
been evident that, did they capture the
convention, they would instruct for Nc
Kinley, thus giving a direct and open
clap to those presidential candidates
In congress who are assisting in the pas
sage Of Oklahoma legislation. The men
most insistent on neutrality are those
who are most favorable to Mckinley;
but they are more for Oklahoma. Now
comes the Oklahoma City Republican
organ of the Mckinley men and declares
boldly for an instructed Mckinley dele
CATION. Il says:
If the Republicans Of Oklahoma ia
vor William Mckinley they would say
30 in their convention, and so instruct
their delegates. If on the other hand
they have no choice as between candi-
dates they could then with prOpriety
refuse to instruct, but not otherwise
rs anything else necessary to show
the selfish purpose Of these men? To
carry Oklahoma instructed for McKin-
ley, they would sacrifice every legisla-
tive interest of the territory. And for
what? That a few men may be set up
In good federal jobs here and be made
patronage dictators of Oklahoma.
But the scheme won't work"
NO ULTRA SENTIMENT.
Another Republican journal, the Okla
homa City Times Journal, says:
The Republicans Of Oklahoma are
not one-half as thoroughly wrought up
over the presidential question as some
seem to suppose. There is no ultra-M Nc
Kinley sentiment among the people, no
ultra-Reed sentiment, no one who is
tearing his shirt for Allison or any other
of the lesser lights. There is no bitter
denunciation Of Mckinley, or of Reed,
or Allison or even Quay. The rank and
file are taking a very philosophic view
Of the situation, and a very sensible one.
The men who have SHE'D their casters
into the leadership ring ought to be
likewise both philosophic and sensible.
Undoubtedly, If Oklahoma were to
choose a presidential nominee. McKin-
ley would be the choice, but Oklahoma
viii not feel sore over the nomination
Of Reed or Allison, or any other pos
sibility. Oklahoma is in this respect in
a most excellent frame of mind. If the
men who have sacrificed so many per-
sonal comforts in order to accept lead
ership among the Republican hosts, win
be governed by the same good sense that
now controls the rank and file of the
party, peace, good will and perfect CO.

APPEAL FOR MKINLEY.

''EditorDaily Republican-In as much
as the Republicans Of Logan county,
