The contest for the Democratic nominal.
ton for Governor next year promises 10
he one Of the most Interesting that mas
been witnessed in this State IN many
years.
nut IN by his party in 1871, the Democrats
have nominated no man who has not been
defeated of the nomination one or more
times John W Daniel was beaten by
Holiday. but his ambition was rewarded
in 1881. He was his partys nominee mat
YEAR, hut Colonel w. Z. Cameron, the
candidate Of the Readjusters defeated nm
in the general election
few wears later Daniel was sent to
the United States Senate, where he mas
served with credit 10 the State and honor
TO himself.
Fitzhugh Lee was a candidate for Gov
crror in both the Democratic campaigns
of 1871 and 1881. The third time he entered
the race he was nominated and elected.
Many will recall the great convention IN
the old Richmond Theatre in 1855. The
Democrats had redeemed the State The
Readiuster party was broken up. Many OF
The leaders had returned to the Democrat
&C. party. while others had gone over to
the Republicans John S. Wise was the Re-
publican nominee. The campaign was 4
brilliant one. and Lee Won out by a hand
some majority
Philip ". Mckinney was twice a cam
d date before the nomination went TO
him in 1889. After having been defeated
by Daniel in 1881 he was put on the ticket
for Acknowledgement. Lee beat him in
1855 The contest in 1889 was most memo
rable one. Mckinney, Richard T. Beirne,
Charles T. o'Ferrall. John T. Harris and
Samuel w. Fenabie and J. Hoge Tyler
were candidates.
All of these gentlemen are now dead with
the exception of Colonel O'FerTall and Gov

for Next Years Nomination.

Richmond. Major Tyler is the chief Exec
utire Of the State.
When the convention assembled in 1893
Colonel OFerrall who had been once de-
feated, was nominated over Major Tyler
and Col. A. S. Buford. There were but TWO
candidates in ESTIMATOR Tyler, who had
been twice defeated, and ]. Taylor Ely
son. The former easily won. In fact, Mr..
Ellysons name was not presented to the
convention Seeing that he could not win,
he gracefully moved TO make the nomina-
ton to his opponent unanimous.
Mr. ElIyson is the only one Of the can
didates who has been defeated Of the nom
nation. His friends claim that this will
help him, as it did Daniel, Lee, Mckinney,
O'Ferrall and Tyler.
The convention will probably meet earlier
than usual. 1t is generally held in Au-
gust. but next year it is probable that it
will be convened in July, for the campaign
may be said TO have already opened up.
All Of those who have announced that
they would like to have this great honor
are gentlemen widely known and popu-
lar. They are all comparatively young
men or middle-aged. Mr.. Ellyson and Col.
Il. c. Marshall were mere boys during the
Civil War, but they served in the Con-
federate army. A1essrs- Claude a. Swan
son, a. j. Montague and Edward Echols
We're too young to enter the army.
The contest promises TO be very friend
~ one. No bad feeling has, up TO this time,
been manifested But no one can tell what
may develop when the time for the election
of delegates arrives. There is going to be
some political .'hustl:ng," for the man who
wins out in the race cannot permit the
grass to grow under his feet. Each candi-
date Will try to keep on good terms with
the other. for shrewd politicians recognize
the fact that it would be most remark
able thing if either of the aspirants should
develop enough strength to beat the
field The second choice votes will
really settle the matter.

AS the Advocate contended,
when the trouble came up over
paying the tax on hay-all would
have undoubtedly been avoided if
the collection Of the Cherokee
revenue, under Cherokee law, had
been taken up where the Cherokee
authorities left off collecting, as di-
rected by the Curtis law, anda gen.
eral notice given to all from whom
tax was due, no one would have
refused to pay. All would have
paid readily as they had to the
Cherokee officials. If such a
course had been token at the prop
er time no Cherokee would have
refused to pay the small tax re-
quired, but after allowing the
revenues to so uncollected for
more than two years and then,
only calling on few persons
from whom tax was due, confused
everything. The Cherokee tax
system was not thorough, but
when all was collected 1t brought
much revenue to the nation. Out
side of the tax paid by the Valley
railroad, which was always paid
in regularly to the treasury, with
out extra expense to the nation,
and the rest not collected, the
nation will be the looser The
matter is now before the courts
where it should have gone at first,
and no matter how decided, the
nation will be the gainer.-Tahle-
quah Advocate.

FULL BLOODS PROTEST.
They Do Not Understand the
Census Taking.

Tuesday evening W. s. Stan
field, special officer under Census
Supervisor Darrough, came TO
Tahlequah for the purpose Of con-
ferriDg with the leaders of the full
blood element of the Cherokee ma
tion, and to get letters of explana-
tion to the head captains of the
Keetowahs as to the purpose Of
the work of the enumerators. Out
on Spavinaw the enumerators
have had to quit work on account
of threats Of violence against them
by the fullbloods. Mr.. Stanfeld
is a cool headed, sensible man,
and does not desire to resort to
harsh measures in enforcing CEN
sus laws, but he says that after all
concessions are male. after he
runs the limit of leniency allowed
him by the government he will
have to proceed TO arrest the lead
ers who are inciting the 'fullbloods
!. 20 resistance. He speaks kindly
of the fullbloods, and says they
are not to blame for their seeming
resistance, bat that INSCRIPTIONS
men are making them believe that
it is scheme OF the government
to take their lands away from
them. For Instance: An emu
msrator appeared at iullblods
door, and was met with a stony
stare. After making his business
known, through an interpreter,
and showing him the blank list,
the Cherokee said to him: Eyes
that's all right; 1 understand it;
it's a map of the Cherokee nation
and those black spots are the lands
you want to allot ms. j won't
sign it, the paper, " andno amount
of pursuasion could induce him to
answer questions. Meetings are
being held among the 'fullbloods
in that locality, and upon good
authority, it is said that they are
arming themselves for resistance.
This condition is bad; not only
bad for the fullbloods, but bad for
the Cherokee nation, because at
this particular time, when it is
con ditions and not theories which
present themselves, we are truly
at the mercy OF the United States
government. II ever there was a
time when Moses should rise up
among the Cherokee people to
lead them out of distrust and doubt
it is now. Let Chief John Ross
come back to earth and plead with
this people as he alone was able to
plead Arrow.
