SPEAKING of the free silver conven-
ton in this city the Kansas City Star
correspondent says;
The convention was In a hurry to do
businesc. The chairman explained
this by saying that the ha te was due
10 legal reasons, the purpose being to
get candidate in the field before the
Kea' On convention could nominate.
The middle-of-the,road candidate was
nominated at ll:5s o'clock a. M. and
J r. Keaton before II o'clock. Any
contest on this point for the use Of the
name Free Silver party" would give
the Keaton men the advantage The
other side will probably claim that
they were the first TO call free silver
convention this year. Virgil Hobbs
will reply TO this by saying that they
acted without authority, as no longer
ago than the statehood convention at
Kingfisher he was recognized as tbs
chairman Of the free silver party The
dispute will probably be carried into
court.
Referring to the resolutions adopt
ed by the free silver convention he
says:
The following broadside was bred

HHFRE rs TIE moNErs

There is an ugly rumor going the
over the territory TO the effect that
the moneys contributed by the several
county commissioners and the Oklaho-
ma railroads to aid in putting the pro-
ducts Of the territory on exhibition at
the Omaha exposition, have been most
wautonly and shamefully squsndered
by the officers appointed by the gov
ernor to handle it and the exhibition.
We do not kncw how far this story
may be true, but we do know that the
man whom the governor made the
head OF the Oklahoma commission of
the Omha exposition was not a man
calculated TO instire confidence in the
management OF the territorial ex-
hibit or the handling Of the public
moneys. We refer to J. Q. Post, whom
the governsr and every body else who
we're In Guthrie during the session of
the first legislature knows was charged
with the most outrageous boodleism.
1t seem strange that with the we'll
known reputation OF J c. Post as a
boodler while a member Of that legis-
lature, with the fact that five men of
high standing then residing in Okla
homa and Kinghsher counties, testi-
fed before a grand jury in Guthrie in
October, 1892, that Post received from
them bribe Of $4,000, pad down in
cash, that the governor would appoint
such a man to such position. II the
governor knew these things when he
appointed him, and he must have
known OF them, the county commits
sioners and the railroads who contrib
uted this exposition fund will hold
him TO a strict accountability therefor
and every dollar Of expenditure should
be accompanied with proper voucher,
We will have something to say as
time passes about this matter.

TON REEDS promise is as good ~ a

He said two years ago: "If the people
OF Oklahoma are honest in their de-
mand for free homes they will return
TO congress the champion of the meas
ure. We will know by their action in
November whether or not they want
free homes" The people turned down
the champion of free homes and sent a
nondescript TO congress, and Reed exc
cuted the promise made Now let the
people send Flynn to congress and
Reed will make good his promise OF
two years ago.-Medford Patriot.
This organ OF Mr. Flynn tells the
people that Tom Reed swore by the
stars that II the people did not do ss
he told them they should be punished
and now it asserts that he made good
his threat by preventing Mr.. Gala
hams free homes bill from becoming a
law. 1t says that Reed executed the
promise made" or the threat which he
made in his Wichita speech. This sort
Of talk must be refreshing to men who

tells us that the Rademacher or Baron
mine is turning out some very fine rock;
they are down $50 feet with some drifts
and crossCuts that show good results, and
have about go tons OF Gre on the dump that
will average $l09 to the ton.
On the Badger. owned by DuVal Bros. and
some Los Angeles parties, there is shaft
down seventy-hve feet, with drift fifty
feet, and they are taking out ore that
assays from $50 to $3.50 per ton. This ore
is in punches in the vein matter which is
from three to six feet between the walls,
and is accompanied by about two feet of
red tale. which is so tough that !. has to
be chiseied out. They expect to get good
thing in this property when they get down
deeper on it.
Mckinney Bros. G Sprouse have given
a cne-nfth interes: in their mine to a Mr.
Hoogstraat for 400 feet of development
work. and on this deal a shaft 100 feet deer
has been sunk in ore and a we'll IS nov
being sunk, in which they expect to strike
water in about forty feet. 1t is said thai
mill will be built on this property during
the coming year. The vein has an average
width of fourteen feet, and is considered
pretty good stringer.

Another advantage of this position,
and very great one, is the sway it
gives the puglist. He can avoid blows
and at the same time maintain his bal

his opponent has unsuccessfully tried to

'Kid" Mccoy bega.. as an errand boy
in the hat store of A. c. Lewis, in Louis

Mems Christian Association of that city
and learned to box. He soon found that
he could box better than any of the other
Christian young gentlemen Of that assoc
citation, and longed to test his metal
elsewhere.
The Y. M. C. A. of Louisville was too
limited, and he transferred his abilities
and his membership to other cities. box

After a while he returned to Louis

He fought Dick Moore and made such

a result. Until the eighth round of that

over l saw that F'ltzsmmons was the
best man. 1t was not chance punch
that soar-pleXus blow-but a scientific
blow we'll delivered from the strongest
right arm in the puglistic world.
Fi.zsimmons will hold his own for an
other year to come.
But beyond that year-at the dawning
os the twentieth century-there is an
other puglilst to enter the world.
And that is kid" Mccoy.
kid Mccoy is as yet only, as his
nickname indicates, a kid" He is un-
developed in body and muscle, in tissue
and in strength. He needs to grow-to
grow older as we'll as stronger.
kid" Mccoy is today the finest pu-
gilist in the ring. He is the most skill
full side-stepper, the best general, the
Samiest sport and the best trained of
fighters. When he enters the ring he is
cool and calm, and throughout the fight
he maintains this same steadiness of
nerve He fights like Choynski, with the
head at one side and the eyes slantng.
This gives fighter long g-distance view
of his antagonist and enables him to
take in the entire body of his opponent
above the belt
When a fighter stands erect and looks
at his man straight ahead of the body,
he can only see the face. or if he looks
downward he can only look at one part
of the body al a time. The fighter who
fights with his head on one side gets an
elongated vision that Is very advan-
tageous.
