RETURN OF THE HEROES.
Divided Democracy Result Of
Convention.

OOllNOlltlVlls
The afternoon trains Tuesday
brought back the democratic del.
egation from Ardmore, except a
few stragglers who fingered behind.
They were met at the train by the
band and a good part of the pop
ulation OF the town. A grand
reception and love feast was held
at the band stand and speeches
were made by Preston Davis, ]. B.
Turner, Edgar Smith, ]. s. Daven-
port, DR.. q. r. Hill and others.
The hoarse voices of the speakers
indicated that a great deal of lung
power had been expended at Ard
more. Each speaker told how it
was done in no uncertain language.
There was an exhibition OF some
bitterness, but with a good-nights
rest there is perceptable lower
ing of the temperature today. The
honest difference of opinion will
soon give way to 4 better and
more magnanimous feeling.
From all accounts the Ardmore
democratic convention proved to
be most unweildy and unruly
body. Twelve hundred democrats
f--'I vr a. --.-s OF Indian Terri
tory freedom, and patriotism,
with just a mixture of Texas liquor
made a body at once chaotic and
uncomfortable.
