For the purpose of bolstering
up a bad cause and to vent their
spleen against the people of Ard
more and the regular democratic
convention, the boilers who follow
ed Col. Marcum out of the demo
cratic convention are stating that
had it not been for the courtesy of
the United States officials in ten
dering them the use of the court
house, they would have been fore
ed to meet under the broiling sun
upon the streets. There is about
as much truth in this statement as
there is in the other charges which
they make. The facts are as fol-
lows: Several days before the
convention met Mr.. A.'C. Cruce
went to Capt. Hammer, the United
States marshal, who is in charge of
the court house, and asked that the
court house be put at the disposal
of the committee of arrangements,
for the use of any delegation that
they might see fit to place there.
Capt. Hammer agreed to this and
Mr.. Cruce so informed thecommit-
tee of arrangements. As soon as
Mareum arrived, on Sunday eve,
Capt. John l.. Gait called on him
and rendered Col. Marcum the use
Of the court house for his head
quarters Capt. Gait also rendered
him services in any capacity in
which they might be needed. Capt.
Gait also informed Col. Marcum
that he had employed a janitor who
would see to the lights and see that
they had ice water. Upon this In
vitation the Marcum forces took
possession of the court house on
Sunday evening and held their eau
Gus there, which lasted until after
They also held another
caucus there on Monday morning.
In the face of these facts they are
now attempting to create the i'm
preston that no provision was
made for them by the democrats of
Ardmore. and that had it not been
for the courtesy of republican Of
fee holders they would have been
without quarters. Why can't men
tell the truth?

NEARLY, If not fully, one-half Of
the democratic voters of the Indian
Territory reside in the Chickasaw
Nation. We have but few repub-
licans among us. The great bulk
of the democrats here are honest
white farmers aud Indians. They
are not place hunter or pie eaters
They are wealth makers and bur-
den bearers. All that they want
is good government. Honest poll
ties means good government.
Dishonest politics means bad gov
ernment. 1t is not to be wonder
ed at that our people stood united,
practically as one man, in opposl-
ton to the methods of placing the
names of republicans and negroes
both dead and alive upon club
rolls, resorted to by some of the
le lders who sought to defeat Dr..
Wolverton and thereby outcount
and overthrow the living demo
Gratis who were his supporters.
The issue was forced upon us.
We simply stood firm in insisting
that this was a democratic con
vention and that none except live
democrats were entitled to repre-
Sentation. For this we have been
abused and denounced. This was
to be expected. None but towards
and fools are frightened by such
methods. Abuse is the argument
of conscious weakness. 1t is a
confession of defeat. Let no one
be deceived; the democrats of the
Territory are thoroughly aroused
and are practically united II is
unpleasant to be engaged in such
contestS-we would if We could
avoid all discussions when
tue issue is forced upon us in
choosing between cowardly sub
mission to bulldozing methods and
fraudulent club rolls-or if fight
ing for our rights-we will be
found fearlessly contending for
honest politics and good govern
ment aud we intend to keep
the fight up until these objects are
attained although by so doing we
may incur the displeasure and |
abuse of those who are not willing |
to have their methods investigated.
If we will be true to the princi-
piles of common honesty and act
like men who have the courage of |
their convictions there can be no
question OF the ultimate result of
this fight. We owe it to ourselves,
to our children and to our country
to be firm. We have the strength
aud if We do not use it, and ring
politics are allowed to rule this
country. the fault will be ours.
We have too much respect for and
in the intelligence and
courage of the rank and file of the
democrats of the Chickasaw nation
TO believe for one moment that
they will ever consent to allow a
convention to be cap ;
Iure.l by club rolls largely made up
Of republicans and of persons not
in existence.
