FLYNN AND SECTIONS ~ IND 3S.
The Strip county papers are com
planning that the setting apart Of sec
tions q and 80 / Il each township iu the
seven counties Of the strip, to be ap-
piled to public buildings, normals and
colleges anywhere ia the terri ory
where the Legislature may order them
located, is an injustice to The people Of
the Strip counties.
Without arguing the question pro or
con, the LEADER wou like for some
Of the Repub lean papers, tot tell the
people who claims the responsibility
for the passage OF the act through con
gress by which these sections Of the
public domain were set apart and made
to apply to the whole territory, instead
OF that part OF the territory wherein
they are locat' d.
II they will turn 20 the files OF the
State Capital Of 1894, and read the
speeches Of the Hon. Dennis Il. Flynn
made in his second race for congress,
they will see that he asserted on every
stump In the te ritory, outside Of his
speeches in the Strip counties, that he
prepared aud pushed through the bill
setting aside those particular sections
for the purposes named in the bill
Those OF the strip counties who
heard Mr. Flynn in that canvass will
remember that in all of his speeches
in those counties he read the titles OF
eighteen bills Of which he claimed he
was the author, and that this bill was
among the number. They will also re-
member that while he discussed elab-
orately the merits of AL the other bills
be simply gave the number Of this bill
without SO much as single remark
with regard 70 its character or the
purposes for which he secured its pas
sage.
While this was true OF his speeches
In the Cherokee strip counties he was
not so ehary OF eNpounding the great
advantages Of the bill in its relation 20
these sections Ia his speeches else
where IN the territory. The LEADER
only refers TO this matter to show the
inconsistency Of Mr. Flynn, ana that
II his claim as the author of the bill is
true, as he asserted il was in s9i, he
ought not to eyade the responsibility
by ignoring its advantages in one sec
tion Of the territory where he knew il
would be unpopular, and hold out it's
good and benifeieat advantages in
those parts OF the territory where il
WAS supposed to be popular.
