'House of Representatives,
Washington, D. c., April 20, 1870
Hon. E. D. Brcfnlee, Kingisher, o. T.:
Dear Sir: Your kind invitation to be
with you on the 25th is at hand 1t
would suit me very much to be present
but to be at the work bench down here
was the style Of the commission given
me by a Republican majority of 1000 at
the election less than two years ago and
at the present time 1 am attending to
that commission, which makes it impos-
sible to be with you so far away from
the congressional workshop 1 am with
you in spirit If not in body and hope the
grand old Republican ship will be safely
in our promising territ ry-the
to be on a solid Republican
basis. I hope and trust that harmony
and by this L mean a united body-will
prevail. My judgment that many of the
shoals uDon which this and that boat
were shattered in the Republican ranks
could have been avoided by honesty, had
If not been for Individual spite Of those
in charge, and had those at the helm
been honest with the rank and file NY
advice to insure success would be TO pro
hibit the endorsement of any man, no
matter what his position, in Oklahoma,
for anything. The endorsement Of our
good Republican president and his admin
istration is and should be a sufficient
test of ReDublicanism. This is not in
tended as slight at anyone, as it must
include myself The party
is greater than any Individual. It's sue
cess means all that we are taught to look
forward to.
We are entering upon a new cam
paign with almost all our party pledges
redeemed with a leader whose states
panlike administration has awakened
new life in our government.
Times have changed We promised
they would, and with the reelection of
Mckinley idleness. timidity and uncer-
tainty will have no place in the Ameri-
can dictionary.
The party pledge TO our honest home
steaders will be fulfilled by the passage
Of an honest free homes measure. and
the signature of a Republican president.
The star of statehood Is rising in the
east and l viii not be surprised if we
are allowed it al the short session of the
present congress.
Success TO all assembled May all re-
turn home re-ba9tised in our glorious
record. IS the wish OF your absent and
obedient D. T. FLYNN"
