pers The Ell Reno Democrat thus as
sails him:
The Hon. ]. 7. Callahan was at the
Kansas City convention. He was there
in the interest of the boilers He was
on the ground two days before the con-
vention convened, and remained until
the close He was buttonholing every
member OF the committee that he han
pened to know during his brief congress
sional career, and pleading with them 70
give the boilers a half seat and half
vote in the convention in order to bring
about harmony in the ranks of the party
at home in Oklahoma IL is publicly
charged that Callahan was Induced 10 go
TO Kansas City to work for the boilers in
consideration Of promise from such naen
as Joe Wisby. Jim Johnson, Jasper Sipes.

succeeded in getting the boiling delega-
ton seated, that they would use their
influence in his behalf al the Democrats
convention which meets in Oklahoma city
TO name candidate for delegate to con-
gresS.
In other words. Callahan was sent To
Kansas City TO plug for the boilers in
consideration OF a promise from them
that they viii stampede from the Demo-
cratic congressional convention from a
Democratic to a Populist. and that his
Reverend Nibs is TO be that Populist. II
is charged further that the reverend gen
tleman agrees to put see into the cam
paign slush fund
The Democrat viii take this opportunity
to remind this boiling, Populistic outfit
in the language Of Tfliman Of South Car
DINA, thar If they want to hear hell
break loose in Oklahoma let them even
attempt such a thing. The Democracy
of Oklahoma will not be disgraced and
dishonored in their choice OF candidates
by Populists. We may cooperate with
them, but they cannot force their candi-
dates on US against our win. The scheme

1t is the last expiring hope of Bolter
Wisby. who walked out of the FL Reno
convention and helped to organize the
rumD convention.
To nominate Callahan at the expense or
a Democrat. has been the chief ambition
of Carpetbagger Spillman ever since he
struck the territory with a commission
in his pocket. Two years ago he and Pat
Magic bolted the Democratic caucus
nominee. Mr.. Keaton. for congress, and
voted for Joss Callahan. his PopulIstic
idol from first TO last Therefore. II is
not at all surprising that he is found
backing a Populistic enterprise of this
kind
To go to congress or send some one
whom he can control, has been the irri-
dissent dream Of Boiling Jim Johnson
for years.
Jim is bolter by nature. an adept by
practice. In 1886 he bolted the irstruc-
tons OF the Pike county. Illinois. Demo-
Gratis for VIM r. Archer for representa-
tive, and headed a rump delegation OF
seven and supported John W. Moore Of
Brown county instead.

From this It may be seen that Gala

nominated for congress by the fusion ele-
nents, will not have a ghost Of a show
