The article printed in yester-
days Daily Chieftsin relative to
the forthcoming platform of the
Downing party, and the great nee.
essity of declaration of principles
at this time seems to have struck
a popular chord, as a number Of
very intelligent citizens have taken
occasion to express their approval.
1t is said the platform has been
prepared with great care, the chief
points having been agreed upon at
the convention last week, and the
committee appointed to draft the
document, and we hope in due
time to be able to print it in full.

Coming events in the Cehrokee
nation are shaping themselves in
q way that will be eminently sat-
isfsctory to Vinita. The chances
are good that the town will furnish
the next chief, and the good things
that must necessarily flow to.the
town from that fact cannot be
enumerated at the present time.
At any rate the outlook is exceed
ingly bright for the town.

Strawberries are selling at four
boxes for a quarter and still nearly
every paper in the territory has
printed a dollar business local to
thank some merchant straw
berry gardener for a single box
which has been donated-With the
cold-blooded purpose of getting a
notice. The Chieftain is glad no
one gave il a box of strawberries.
