Mark Hanna is beginning To peep out
from behind his hidden seelusion once
more. As chairman OF the Republican
national committee he has begun serv-
ing notices upon the leaders OF his
party that nothisg which squints to-

Of the Republican platforms. The bi-
metallic plank OF the ST. Louis plat
form of 1896 is to be ruthlessly cast to
the rear rs an old and worthless thing
that has served its purpose, snd moth
ing but the straight gold standard will
be allowed to enter any Of their plat
forms on the money question He
evidently thinks the time has come to
east OF the mask, and avow openly
that the Republican party is not in the
slightest degree in sympathy with
anything that smaeks OF bimetallism,
and that in the war which he proposes
the Republican party shall wage in the
future against silver Senator Woleott
and the other bimetallic Republican
senators shall be forced into the single

DEMOCRATIC WORK
tRS IN OKLAHOMA.

No one man in Logan county has
done more for the upbuilding OF the
democracy Of the territory than the
present chairman Of the Logan county
central committee, Col. j W. Sayder.
Colonel Snyder was a gallant soldier
on the Union side In the war between
the states and for bravery on the bat
tleheld won the title Of colonel, which
he bears. He also has letters from his
brigade commanders written In those
dark days recommending him for mer
itorious conduct on the battle field
that would fire the heart Of any man
with pride Colonel Snyder held some
high and responsible official positions
in Missouri, to which state he came
after the war, and Ia all Of which he
acquitted himself with honor and sat
isfaction 10 the people.
Coming to this territory az the open
ing in April 1889, he early became an
active and prominent worker and
leader OF the democracy OF the coun y
and territory, and no convention Of
the party was complete without Colo
mel Spyder. Never al office seeker In
the sense the term is usually applied,
his counsels and guidance were always
valuable and much sought after His
quiet and reticent manners and unob
trusive ways, although never cAlcu.
lated to bring him TO the front In bis
own interest, were characteristics
which singled him out as q man whose
Judgment and advice could be safely
followed. Col. Snyder is now doing
valuable and efficient work as the
chairman of the County Democratic
committee, the duties OF which he is
most emineStlv fitted TO discharge.
Few Democra in Logan county, or
indeed anywhere else for that matter,
have Cone more TO keep the Demo
cratic party iu line than A. l.. Cock
rum, OF Orlando. He is young in
years but old in the counsels Of the
party, and withAl is one OF the clever.
est, Dig hearted Democrats in the ter
ritory Where he is intimately known
every man is his friend, for his word
is the synonym of honor, and what
"Al Coekrum says goes. He Is =
Democrat from principle and never
from sordid or selfish motives. He is
an old citizen OF the territory, aud
while amAssing a competency in the
business which he is conducting, never
neglects what he conceives TO be his
duty TO the Democratic party TO stand
up for its principles and do all in his
power for the success of the ticket.
| Al Cockrum 10 one OF the young terri
torial Democrats who will come TO the
front some day.
