Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 1.-THE territorial
board of election commissioners Iaet at
the Office of the governor today to pass
upon the certificate of nomination for
delegate in congress and members of the
legislative assembly. In the absence Of
Governor Barnes The meeting was pre-
Sided over by Acting Governor Jenkins,
who named Joseph Wisely OF Guthrie TO
act as the Democratic member Of the
board in the place of c. G. Horner, who
was called away by the death of a rela-
tive. The board first undertook to settle
the question as to the form Of the terri
torial ticket, the attorney general having
rendered an opinion that the territorial
ticket should contain only the macs of the
candidates for delegate in congress and
that the names of the candidates for
legislature should appear on the county
tickets. ]. w McNeal, the Republican
member Of the board, while expressing
his personal belief that the names IF deg
islative candidates should appear on Inc
territorial ticket, thought that the board
should be guided by the opinion OF the
attorney general. This view was opposed
by the other two members Of the board,
but il was finally agreed TO let the sub
ject rest until the certificates of nomina-
ton had been passed upon.
The board then took up the certificates
Of candidates for delegate in congress.
No discussion arose except upon the
question Of device for the Populist and
anti-fusion Populist parties, both having
selected the same emblem to head their
ticket. q plaw. Inasmuch as the PopuHst
certificate held priority of fling it was
given the plow device and the anti-fusion
ticket vii be designated by the picture Of

the Callahan ticket in 1886.
