IT is none Of the LEADERS fight, but
the insult to Governor Barnes by the
Enid Republican convention in refus-
ing to even invite him to seat on the
platform was such Ia fragrant viola
tion Of all the courtesies that his
friends cannot afford TO overlook it.
Barnes was the governor of the teri
tory and by all the rules Of official
courtesy was entitled to and should
have received that mark of courtesy
when he entered the convention hall
Even Democratic convention would
have paid him this mark of respect.

The Globe Democrat has revived the
old story that the government is about
to begin prosecutions in the federal
courts of Oklahoma against long
string of prominent Republicans for
participation in the bribery of United
States Indian Agent Asa Sharp of the
Otoe and Ponca agency. Among the
names whom the g.. d. says are to be
prosecuted appears those of Henry e.
Asp, Republican national committee
man; 1. T. Pryor, w. f. Smith, j. H.
Norris, F. Witherspoon and w. e. Will
cox. The Times-J ournal OF Oklahoma
City of May 9th reproduced the GID.
article in full. The article publishes
along with the rest of the story an
alleged affidavit of Mr.. Asp, in which
he says he paid Sharp for the cattle
men the sum OF 81, 500 to sign the graz
ing leases

IT WAS sHABBY TREATMENT.

Governor Barnes in an interview
says that the rank and file OF the Re.
publican party at the Enid conven-
tioh was throttled by the bosses, On
this point he is quoted as saying: 81
know from an actual poll of the indi-
vidual delegates to the convention
that strong endorsement of the ter
ritorial administration would have re-
ceived the votes of very large ma
jority of the convention had the dele
gates been left free to indicate their
personal inclination"
If Governor Barnes states the facts
no self-respectingi Republican friend
OF his can afford to let the matter
rest without rebuke.

MEMORIAL DAY.


GOV. Barnes Proclaims the Annual Event
of Respect to National Loyalty
Gov. Barnes yesterday issued this
proclamation proclaiming May 30 as
Memorial day:
PROCLAMATION,
In the passing of the year the bloom
ing flowers upon every side once again
reminds us of the near approach of a
day ha'lowed by custom and made
sacred by loving tribute to the noble
soldier dead of the greatest nation
among all the mighty governments of
the earth,
BY custom, by order of the com
mander-in-chief Of the G. A. r., by
statute and general observance, May
30th has become day dedicated to
patriotism and love of couDtry-a day
when grateful nation puts aside the
strife and turmoil of life, and pays
tribute to those noble, true-hearted
men who gave their lives that the ma
tion might live.
Therefore, l, c. M. Barnes, govern
or of the territory of Oklahoma, do
set apart and proclaim
"Wednesday, May 30, 1900, Memoir
ial day, as genera holiday and ur-
gently request all of the people of the
territory that upon that day they re-
frain from their usual avocations and
spend the day in manner appropri-
ate to the spirit of grateful and rev
erent people.
Let the graves of the sleeping he
roes scattered upon every hillside and
: -
strewn with sweet scented flowers
and shadowed by the stars and stripes:
let the people gather together in pub
lie worship or patriotic assem- blage,
where, with song and prayer, music
and oratOry will be told the story of
valor and heroism and fitting tribute
be paid all those who offered up their
lives to perpetuate a nation, to
assure to eternal mission of one
country under the flag and to give the
heritage 0f freedom to all the multi
tudes which are to people the hills
tinent but. of the distant isles of the
sea, under the protection of rhe glor-
ious stars and stripes.
Let not the sleeping place of one
hero be overlooked, and while we pay
encamped in the little green tents of
the grave, let us give kindly thought
to the comrade who walks by our side
with gray hair and hating step and
offer prayer for the protection and
success of those who are once again
gathered under the glistening white
tents of the field in the far off islands
of the Pacific, and, as the incense of
blossoms and loving tribute mingled
with fervent prayers arise together
let the sentiment everywhere be the
same-one country, one flag, one pur-
pose, one God.
Done at Guthrie, this the Sth day of
May, A. D., 1900,
G. M. BARNES,
Governor.

FALSE CLAIMS.

Some CT the Republican administer =.
tion organs insist that since 1897 there
has been general upward tendency
in prices of commodities in the United
States. That is true of everything
produced and controlled by the trusts,
but it is untrue as TO those articles
produced by the great agricultural
people of this country. While Provi-
has blessed the people for the past
three years with fine crops and given
the country degree Of prosperity
growing out of that fact, there has
been no advance in the prices of tn
soil productions, and the boasted
prosperity OF the country is confined
exclusively to the Republican protect.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system, thereby destroy
ing the foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The pro-
prietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it
fails to cure. Send for a list of testi-
