to get, but keeping after you

If all the money that has

enough for every body to fill
their pockets and carry some

TIE clrsr sILrER BOOMING

Our Republican friends have been
quite active in asserting for year or
more that the money question will not
be nm issue In the state or national
campaign. In this they are surely
counting their chickens before they
are hatched. They have been assert
ing in most vehement manner that
the cause OF free silver is dead in this
country beyond the possibi iiy Of res
surrection.
Never were they more mistaken in
their lives. II is stronger today than
IL ever was before. In every state in
the union where conventions have
been held from Vermont to Georgia
and the lakes on the north, the Den-
ocracy have reaffirued Its faith and
allegiance to the principles enunciated
in the Chicago platform OF 1896, and
only the other day the Democracy of
Wisconsin in state convention declared
with unprecedented 'unanimity its in
dorsement Of the principles rs set
forth in the national platform Of 1896.

rHs rRTPLE P4Rrr PLArF0RM


The following are th resolutions
adopted by the joint Convention at
Oklahoma City
We indorse and ratG.r the Chicago
platform adopted by the democratic
party in 1896, and afterwards indorsed
by the Pepulists and Free Silver Re-
publicans through the ratification OF
the candidacy Of Hon. w. j. Bryan
We are in favor OF the election Of the
president Of the United States and
United States senators by direct vote
uf the people.
We favor such leg islation as will en-.
able the people OF this territory to elect
their own officials.
We favor economy In the manage
ment OF public affairs.
We favor statehood and free homes
We tender The constitutional author
.tiss ouT sympathy and support in the
Prosecution Of the just war waged by
this country against the misrule and
tyranny OF Spain In Cuba, Porto Rico
and the Philippine islands, and tender
our sympathies to those who have been
called upon to make sacrifices in the
interest OF this country through the
exactioRs OF this war.
We condemn the present Republican
administration OF Oklahoma as being
mercenary and corrupt, ana urge a
united effort to prevent the operation
OF the iniquitous tax raise lately legal
ized by the decision Of the administra-
tion supreme court.
We pledge our unanimous support TO
the choice Of this convention for dele
gate TO congress, 70 the end that intel
ligence, efficiency and honesty may be
united in this territory, 10 the CON
fusion and defeat OF McHannaism and
the allies Of corruption and misrule.
We favor the opening TO settlement
OF all Indian reservations within or
contiguous TO Oklahoma territory at as
early date as possible.
We favor such legislation as will re-
suit in lessening railroad rates of trans
portation, and the abolition of the
entire free pass system.

The merican people are about to be
confronted with proposition entirely
new TO the government. 1t is no less
than the creation Of an immense per-
mSnent standing army. Washington
and the great fathers OF the country
who gave US by their valor and wis
dom our free institutions warned us
against the dangers OF large standing
armies in times Of peace. Great armies
and free institutions among a free
people where the perpetuity OF these
institutions and the liberties Of the
people rests in the patriotism Of the
country, have all been held to be in
consistent and dsngerous.
The r-o6'em OF the proposed Increase
OF the ste riding army to a minimum oi
one hundred thousand men, or one
hundred and fifty thousand, carries
with IL the gravest and the most seri
GUS considerations for the national
congress to solve.

rHE POLITICAL CANVASS.

The canvass for congress in this ter
ritory has hardly yet approached that
stage where one can form correct
views as to what issues will be most
prominently pushed to the front by
the two champions Of the parties, but
1t is fair to presume that free homes,
statehood, home rule and limitations
to the powers OF the territorial board
OF equalization will DO among the
chief topics discussed before the peo-
pie.
Dennis Flynn will be placed to a
disadvantage from the start, for he will
be compelled either to indorse the ter.
ritorial administration or repudiate
that part Of the Republican platfor IA
which gave a quasi Endorsement Of
Gov. Barnes administration. To in
dorse the territorial administration
would be 10 throw sour grapes among
the Republicans. TO refuse IL will be
contrary 10 the compact made with
the governor and solemnly oliuched
by the action Of the Republican terri
torial committee at their meeting in
this city last Saturday. 1t is said that
in the conference between Flynn aud
the governor and the committee, Sat-
urday, Gov. Barnes got decidedly the
best end OF the bargain. He held the
winning hand and did not hesitate TO
play it for the whole trick. Flynn was
the beggar, not Barnes, and the gov
ernor knew what he was about, and
although William Grimes, Flynn's
manager, played his cards with con
summate skill, the governor didn't
let hl.a take any tricks which he GOV.
eted himself
When the conference ended Flynn
felt that he had lost, but he had to ac-
cept the situation or surrender his
desire TO be returned TO congress. and
with the best grace possible he pock-
eted his disappointment He made
one discovery, however, and that was
that Gov Barnes was absolutely his
master, and what the El Reno conyen.
tion denied him he forced Flynn to
concede. He learned, also, that ia
political diplomacy he was not only
overmAtched by the wiley governor
but that the governor in the selection
OF the committee not only had the
cards stacked but he froced ths cut tC
be made exactly at the place he wanted

say Whatever they will, but the fact
remains that the governor knows Il

VAR BURDENS TO CONTINUE

The war has closed and the great
pulse OF the nation beats in thankful
ness at the fortunate and glorious
issue, While this is true and every
heart glows with patriotic rejoicing,
the news comes from Washing ton that
the administration will not recommend
the repeal of the war revenue act, but,
on the contrary, will insist upon the
continuance OF the system for some
years yet, in order to cover the ex-
penses incidental thereto and to cover
the delinquencies Of the Dinglcy law
as revenue producer.
When the war was evident the people
all over the Union, with a unanimity
never experienced anywhere except
among the patriotic American people,
approved Of the war revenue act as
nect ssary. but, now that the e1igency
is past, they will not consent tina, tn ay
shall be burdened by the continuance
Of law that is wholly unnecessary;
aud the administration will make the
mistake OF its life il it refuses TO lift
this war burden from the shoulders OF
the people.
