mated from 1000 to 1900 by con-

Nearly every progressive citizen
of the Cherokee nation is gratlhed
at the result of yesterdays elec-
ton. II is understood to mean an
early treaty with the Dawes COM
mission, and everything possible
will be done to expedite the busi-
ness of settlement of tribal affairs.
The Downings are pledged to allot-
ment and individual title to land,
and the gradual extinguishment OF
tribal relations. There is little
doubt but what yesterdays election
is the last chiefs election that will
ever be held, and that before the
four years term expires the otfice
of Chief of the Cherokee nation
will be practically at an end.

The friends OF Senator Martin have

The friends OF Senator Martin have
given out statement, which is en-
dorsed by the Senator as correct,
claiming that he has practically won
his nomination. Governor Tyler is
equally hopeful of WYOMING in the
fight and has given to the press the
following comments on the same:
MIR. Martin says that seventy six
senators and members Of the House
have been practically nominated,
and he claims sixty-six of these. l
may not understand that expression,
practically nominated as well as
Mr.. Martin does, but if that is the
case l still regard the claim that he
has sixty> six Of these gentlemen com
mitted to him as absurd. When Mr.
Donahoe and Mr.. Glass and men
like them say that they are not com-
mitted and have not made up their
minds as to how they will vote, be-
lieve them, and when other nom
nees say they prefer one man for
senator, but are willing to abide the
result Of primary, await that pri
mary to determine that mans vote.
l think Mr. Martin has about ex-
hausted his strength; he has fired his
main guns, and from now on he will
depend upon such claims as these to
draw wavering men to his side.
'As for myself. can say with Paul
Jones, i have just begun to fight
propose to carry this matter straight
through the State. Political meth
DDS have grown up in our party that
are injuring it. The Democratic
party shall not be made a vehicle for
folsting upon the people OF Virginia
a disgraceful traffic in positions of
trust and honor. I would not say a
word or do thing to iDjure my own
beloved party, in which was Grad
led and reared. I believe that am
doing it the best service of my life in
denouncing the methods that seek to
shelter under its fair name.
81 intend to call for fair play
among Democrats, one Democrat is
as good as another; an aspiring
young man should not be forced to
earn his promotion by doing partisan
work for the personal fortunes OF any
one man or set of men.
Mr.. Martin will not be the next
senator from Virginia; he has no as
surances and pledges to justify such
q prediction. With one or two ex-
ceptions he will not carry a single
delegate or senator west of Lynch.
burg, while I shall divide with him
equally the rest of the State.'
The Governor, at least, is making g
good fight in the interest of the
people of Virginia, even if he does
not beat the machine which meets
the approval of everyone who has al
heart the best interest, of the State
There could be no doubt that the re.
suit would be in his favor, il
the people were aroused as they
should be, to the dangers which con
front them in the political methods

ing voice. the following resolution:
"That the democrats of Accomat

Hon. j. Hoge Tyler, Governor Of
Virginia, for the Office of United
States Senator from Virginia"
The above is submitted for the in
formation of the public in response tc
statement made in the last issue OF
the Light that resolution intro
duced in said meeting. endorsing
Governor Tyler, failed" That the
above resolution was adopted by the
people of Accomac no one will Ques-
ton and that it committed the dele
gates appointed in said meeting to
the support of Governor Tyler, no
one will dispute with a disposition to
obey the will of those from whom he
received his appointment as dele
gate. The people of that meeting
not only endorsed Tyler but reflected
in doing so, with few exceptions, the
wishes OF all of the people of Acco-
mac.
1t is sufficient answer to the num-
erous interrogatories propounded by
our contemporary, as TO the bosses in
Northampton, that the people OF
that county are advised in the mat.
ter and will show by their votes at
the polls to day that they are not in
accord with the political methods
used by them. 1t will not be hard
for them to see that Tyler sis not
running with the machine" and that
it is their duty to cast their votes
like freemen for him.
That we have interfered with the
Legislative canvass in Northampton,
as intiInated by our conten porary,
We deny, but it was our right if we
had desired to do so. Everything
that pertains to Virginia is of interest
to us, and it is not only our right but
our duty, to try and shape events so
that they will be for the best welfare
of the State, and our right to have a

ton, il we had desired to avail our
selves of that perogative, certainly
cannot be disputed, inasmuch as he
is to be the representative Of both
Accomac and Northampton. Acco-
mac does not wish, however, to die
tate to Northampton as to the selec-
ton of candidate for the House OF
Delegates and we have no fear that
their nominee of to-day will not be
acceptable to us. 1t is our right,
though, to say to them to vote
against Martin,and they will not
think US presumptuous in so advising
them whether or not they choose to
avail themselves of that advice.
