SCOTT IS POSTMASTER.
Appointed BY the President Saturday
and Ratified BY the People Of
ArdmOre Today.

Yesterdays Fort Worth Gazette
contained under the heading of con-
densed kilograms, one three line
special under a Washington date
line announcing that the president
had nominated Moran Scott for post
master at Ardmore. 1t created a
great deal Of surprise and was the
subject Of much comment as to its
authenticity. Its genuineness was
gravely doubted on the fact that it
There was hustling and hasty con-
sultations among the candidates and
their friends as to the course to
pursue. A meeting was called last
nigth for eight O'Clock at the ARD
MoREITE office. 1t was attended by
all the candidates and was adjourn
ed without a definite conclusion
having been reached, further than
that Messrs. L. B. Robertson and G.
NJ. Yarbrough withdrew from the
contest. This morning it was de-
dided to go on with the election un-
der the magnanimous promise. from
Moran Scott that in case he was
defeated at the polls he would a. :
the president to withdraw his ap-
pointment if it should prove true
that such appointment had been
made, and request that his success
full rival be named as the postmas-
ter.
Under this obligation the election
was proceeded with as per previous
agreement. A very unusual degree
of interest was manifested by the
several remaining candidates and
their friends. The negroes were
voted in blocks, but the blocks were
considerably divided.
The very best of feelings prevailed
and up to this writing nothing had
happened, to contradict the strong
sentiment that the people of the
Indian Territory are capable of self
government.
There were a few cases of intoxi-
cation but they were mostly of a
harmless and quiet nature.
LATER.
p. M.-At ? p. m. a telegram to
Moran Scott from Washington was
received, stating that he had been
appointed postmaster, and a confer
cnce of the friends of ID. T. Nisbett
was Immediately held. &. b. Doug
las was instructed by Mr.. Nisbett to
announce his withdrawal from the
race, which he did, stating to the
judges that Mr.. Nisbett desired no
man to make such a personal sacri-
fee, and relieving him from the
agreement, would withdraw Mr.. Mis-
bits name. The other candidates
quickly followed, after which the
judges announced the following vote
up to that hour:
