Harris for Governor.

While excitement is running
so high on national affairs let
us not forget home matters. The
Chickasaw nation is involved
in affairs polite and a general
election will be held in August.
Candidates are in the field.
The progressive party is champ
iOned by R. NJ. Harris for gov
ernOr. We believe him to be a
man eminently qualified for the
position for which he has been
nominated.
He asserts that he is no party
man and will neither favor or
encourage partyism.
He desires the people to unite
and be friends as once they
were, both socially and politi-
cally.
He says no one man shall
have any more claims upon him
than another.
In the matter of appointments,
honesty and qualification shall
alone distinguish them.
He shall endeavor to set up
an administration suited to the
wants of the people and require
ments of the country.
He promises to exert a rigid
enforcement of laws, and use
all diligence, humane and chris
tian, to place his people and
country properly before the con-
gress of the United States.
He believes that by proper and
judiciOus management of home
and local resources, the now ex-
hausted treasury can be recoup-
ed. and all national obligations
met.
He believes that only honesty
and intelligence will do the coun-
try any good.

! r. NJ. Harris who, if elected to

A BIG SHOW.
Hon. 5. BIedsoe Tells All About the
Great Democratic Convention
ut Chicago.
CHICAGO, July Z, 1896.

CHICAGO, July Z, 1896.
Editor ARDMOREITE:
The first test vote of the rela-
tive strength of the gold and
silver men was had on a vote
for temporary chairman. Hill
securing about 210 votes less
than Daniels. The silver men
are twenty-five or thirty votes
stronger than the test vote. The
galleries were in sympathy with
the gold element and cheered
the speakers, who spoke in be-
half of Hill, very heartily. 1t
looks like there is some truth in
the statement that Mortan, Ser
geant-at-arms had packed the
galleries with gold shouters.
Bland has majority proba-
bly, but not the required two
thirds. 1t is very doubtful if
the two-thirds rule will be abro-
gated. BlandS people are afraid
if it is abrOgated that BOies will
be able to control enough silver
votes, taken together with hop
ed for gold support to nominate
him. The platform will be for
free silver, straight, and | do
not see how any other than a
free silver democrat could ac-
cept the nomination on such a
plank. | believe BoieS has
gained some strength to-day, /
also believe that Boies has ar
ranged a trade with the gold
men for their support at an op-
perfume time.
This is the worlds greatest
convention. Persons who have
attended numerous conventions
say there never has been one to
approach it. In my opinion it
will last four or five days,
though all may be over when
you receive this. The Bryan
delegation were unseated by the
national convention but l be-
! lieve will be reseated by the

Why People Go Rnnd.

1t is conceded by the best
authority on the eye that there
would be no necessity for blind
asylums if people would give
their eyes the proper attention.
Two-thirds of the people say
will wait, they may get better,
in fact they delay so long until
nothing can be done for the eve
and they lose the sight alto
gether. Every day people come
to me and say they will give me
everything they possess to re-
store sight. but sight once lost
can never be regained, timely
and skilfull treatment with suit
able appliances will prevent
many hopeless cases of blind
ness. As soon as the first
symptoms of failing sight APP
pears it is reasonable that the
distressed should seek relief
from those who are competent
to offer it. DIR. Schwartz has
helped others and he can help
you. Now at the Wisnor hotel.

AND OVER A WIDE PRICE
RANGE.
OPENING FIRM AND ACTIVE.
AFTER REACTION, BUYING TO
COVER RALLIED PRICES TO
THE BEST.
Bonds Displayed Strength Through
out, Though Irregularfty Was
Noted In Speculation.

NEW YORK July 21.-Stock speculation to-
day was characterized by remarkably fe-
versh movement and wide fluctuations in
either direction. The volume of business was
large, though a trife below yesterdays rec
ord and as usual, Sugar and ST. Paul were
well in the lead in the point of activity.
There was no news to account for the rapid
transitions in the speculative temper, aside
from higher London prices for American Sc
curities, the favorable Interpretation put
upon the decision of the banks to protect
the gold reserve of the treasury, an easier
tendency in the foreign exchange market,
and improvement in the railway and gov
eminent bond markets. The opening was
strong and active. The initial advances
ranged between 1a@A per cent. Before the
end of the first half hour, prices reacted
sharply on realizations and determined at
tacks by leading bear operators. The deal
ings were heavy on the down grade About
midday, at the low level, buying, chiefly to
cover shorts rallied prices to the best figures
of the day, with the grangers and Wander
bilts particularly strong. Minnesota Iron,
usually inactive stock, jumped to IS.
After 2:15. another onslaught was made by
the bear contingent, causing recessions from
the top level, extending to ~ per cent ON
Chicago Gas. The closing was weak, with
the net changes irregular and fractional.
The bond market displayed aggressive strength
throughout. although some trregularity was
noted at times in the speculative issues.
The sales were $1.155.000. Governments were
less active, but ruled substantially higher.
Silver certificates broke 3s per cent to IS on
realizing sales. aggregating SIS, 900.
The total sales today were 600 800 shares,
including the following: Tobacco, 1900;
Atchisons. $500; Sugar, S1,4OO; Burlington.
$500; Chicago Gas, 1890; Distilling 5000;
General Electric. 400; L. & N, IA, 400; Man

6,000 Rock Island, 1890; st. Paul, 68, 300;
Pennsylvania Coal and Iron, $500; Western
Union, 9,1OO; New Jersey Central, $500.
The following were the fluctuations in the
leading railway and industrial stocks yester-
day:
