their allegiance to the cause. If we are
right. as l believe we are. we shall yet
triumph. Until convinced of his error,
let each advocate of bimetallism con-
tinue the work. Let all silver clubs re.
tain their organization, hold regular
meetings and circulate literature. Our
opponents have succeeded in this cam
paign and must now put their theories
to tie test.
Instead of talking mysterlously
about sound money and al honest
dollar they must now elaborate and
defend financial system. Every step
taken by them should be publicly con-
sidered by the silver clubs. Our cause
has prospered most where the money
question las been longest discussed
among the people. During the next
four years it will be studied all over
this nation, even more than it has been
studied in the past.
THE year 1900 is not far away. Be-
fore that year arrives international BIZ
metalllsm will cease to deceive; before
that year arrives those who have called
themselves gold standard democrats
will become bimetallists and be with
US, OF they will become republicans and
thus open enemies. Before that year
arrives trusts will have convinced still
more people that trusts are a menace
to private welfare and to public safety;
before that year arrives the evils of a
gold standard Will be more evident than
now and the people will then be ready
to demand an American financial policy
for the American people and will join
with us in the immediate restoration of
the free and unlimited coinage of gold
and silver at the present legal ratio of
l6 to l. without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation.''

Oklahoma Champions: Great delight
Is taken by some republican papers of
this territory in announcing that Lacy,
Reed and others Will not assist in get
ting free homes, now that Dennis is de-
feated. If this Is true those men are
not and never were in earnest about
free homes: if it is not true it will show
that Dennis is playing in an under
handed way to defeat it, in order that
he may be elected on that issue two
years hence. Ia either case the repub-
lican papers that peddle it are damag-
ing the free homes cause, and purpose
ly. 1t shows that they are not and new
er were honestly in favor of free homes.
and were using it only as a campaign
fake, Just as the free silver people ac-

estly in favor OF free homes he will
work for it no matter who is elected; If
he has been dishonest in his pretensions
on that subject he will show the cloven
hoof just as the republican papers of

THE republican editors of the state
have, with scarcely an exception, dis
covered that Chief Justice-elect Frank
Doster is one of the ablest lawyers and
jurists IN the state. Why didn't they
learn Of this before the election? Do
they wish to increase their value in
Doster's estimation or have they SIM
ply desire to be fair now that the
campaign is over? Whatever their pur-
pose is, they have proved to the public
that they are very triflng and unrelia-
