Democratic Clubs Convention,
discussed the territorial situation
last night. Colonel Bledsoe, it
might be stated, is said by his
admirers to be the next governor,
and his admirers are many.
These gentlemen said that thus
far the territory had been under
Indian legislation, and that it was
time to stop it, There are no
public schools and therefore no
education for their children, except
by the employment of private
teachers. They want home rule,
as it is termed in the territory,
and are determined to secure it.

This An Omen7

The following coincidence,
taken from the Cairo Telegram,
is significant:
William Mckinley died at
Portland, Ore, the other day.
He was a second cousin of the
Republican candidate for presl-
dent, bearing the same name.
1t is a curious fact that the body
was laid out and prepared for
the grave by William j. Bryan,
a second cousin of the Demo
cratic nominee for president,
and his namesake."

ANTLERs. !. T., Oct. AT
IL o'clock last night Spencer
academy, located ten miles west
of Antlers, burned to ashes, to-
gether with allthe furniture and
four Choctaw boys were burned
up in the flames.
Their names are:
John Smith, age IS. of Toboxy
county. He went to Spencer
the day it burned.
Daniel James, age 10, of
Atoka county.
Thomas Kuniotubbie, age 16,
of Jaekford county.
Wilman Wilson, age il, of
Blue county.
Those injured are:
Alfred Bryant, of Blue coun-
", bruised and burned in head,
and inhaled flames.
Harris Fisher, of Red River
county, sprained foot.
Cotton Bacon, of Wade eoun-
ty, leg sprained.
] Edward Clark, of Blue coun-
ty, jawbone broken.
Sam Springs, of Kiamitia
county, burned in face, on head,
back, shoulders, feet and hands.
| His condition is critical.
The origin of the fire Is sup
posed to be incendiary, as no
one was occupying the room in
which the fire broke out, and
there had been no fire in it this
season. Superintendent j. b.
Jeter, who is in charge of the
school, heard the flames pop
ping and when he got up the
| stairway was on fire. He ran
on the outside and woke all the
: boys and barely saved his OWL
family and the seamstress,
, The boys threw their beds out
, of the windows and jumped tc
: the ground on them.
One of the boys burned was &
{ cripple, and the other three
= were in rooms where there were
: no windows. 1t is said theil
e means and groans were heart
: sickening in the extreme. To

ing a premium of three per cent
on gold dollars. The transac-
ton is such an outrage upon its
very face that it seems to be
incredible that any considerable
portion of our people would
have desired such a measure or
could be induced to resist an eff
fort to restore silver to its law
full place as money. But if we
will stop a moment and consid-
er the conditions which existed
then, the motive will at once ap-
pear, and it will also be seen
how that motive grows stronger
as time passes. By means of
the robber tariff laws New Eng
land had unjustly absorbed the
wealth of this country. In ad-
dition to this, great fortunes
had been made during the war
by specializing upon the gov
ernment in the way of army
contracts, etc. The most of
this money in 1873 was invested
in government bonds. The ad-
vocates of the gold policy sug-
gested to the holders of these
bonds that the people of the
United States would never con-
sent to allow this debt to be
made permanent, but that its
payment would be demanded
and enforced, and that it was
desirable that some means be
devised which would create a
demand for this money in the
way of mortgages, deeds OF
trusts and private bonds as fast
as the government paid it off,
The farmers and all other
classes were then prosperous
Something must be done tC
