| Tlllman and McLaurin both seem
to desire full discussion and tc
fight it out. Tillman says if Nc.
Laurin is Democrat he is not and
If McLaurin is elected he is willing
to 20 to his farm. BIoLarrin an
swered that Tillman was very willing
to talk but let him resign and this
was the preliminary cause of the
above terms.
The meeting at Gaffney was full
OF unique features from start to fin
ish. Its first feature was the meth
cd and manner of invitation to Till
man. 1t seems that after some citi-
zen of Gaffney had invited Senator
McLaurin to address them on topics
of the day, Senator Tillman's friends
became alarmed and an invitation
was issued to tho latter.
This matter stirred up considera,
bic feeling and was commented upon
by both speakers, Senator Tillman
reading a petition said to contain
one hundred or more names. Tho
Senator was evidently out of kelter
and seemed anxious to assure his au-
dience that he was not interfering.
This correspondent has not heard
many of Tillman's speeches. His
speech here today WAS in my judg-
ment the poorest effort he ever made.
There are no small number of poo
pie who believe he cannot make an
argumentative speech. If ho could
be. missed magnificent opportun-
ity.
The meeting when 7 left it, was
most decorous. and orderly. There
were cheers and frequent applause
for both speakers. Under tho ar
rangoment agreed to Senator Nc
Laurin had the opening speech. If
any Of his friends or we'll wishers
have had any fears rs to his ability
to handle himself vigorously in do
bate his effort at G.; ""ney will allay
any such apprehensions. In his
Greenville speech his line was argu-
mehtative and expositional. His
Gaffney speech and manner WAS a
most excellent example of campaign
ing in q high plano not heretofore
seen in South Carolina politics.
TO my mind there WAS something
wrong with Ben. Sitting next to
him on the stand I could not but
notice frequent signs Of large vol
ume. He was given an hour and q
half and didn't know what to do
with much of it.
I believe the day of good order
and decent discussion of political
questions on tho stump in South
Carolina is speedily coming, nay is
already here. Up to tho timo I loft,

Gaffney, S. c., May 25.--From
2.15 p. m. the meeting at Gaffney,
S. c., was hot stuff.
In reply to scathing remarks made
in McLaurin's reply to Tillman, the
senior senator arose and chsllenged
McLaurin to resign saying he would
resign and the two would canvass
the State next fall
McLaurin came up to all expecta-
tions of his friends and put up bold
front. He seemed to be on his met
tie and hurled back at Tillman every
insinuation he made declaring that
the insinuations made by his politi-
cal opponents as to his being Re-
rublican and being bought by Hanna
and his crowd were absolutely false.
The meeting was orderly with some
cheering on both sides.
McLaurin's and Tillman's friends
were much excited when Tillman
made the challenge. McLaurin i'm
mediately accepted and the following
correspondence took place:
"His Excellency Governor NJ. B. Nc

QUEER CASE

Governor Barnes Refuses to

SUFFERING FOR A CRIME
Committed and Confessed by
Another Person.

Guthrie. O. T. March 1s.-Governor
Barnes has refused to act in the case OF
George c. Boggs. former postmaster at
Shawnee, who was convicted Of opening
registered packages, Notwithstanding the
fact that Thomas Lovelady who was an
employe in the Tecumseh Office at that
time has confessed to the crime Boggs
has been in Guthrie for some time and
yesterday ne and his friends had a long
consultation with the governor in hopes
that something could be done, but it was
without avail owing to the fact that Gov
ernor Barnes thought it out OF the juris-
dition United States Attorney Horace
Speed who was at FL Reno was tele-
graph and he wired hack that nothing
could be done with the matter at the
present time. Boggs had been convicted
of the charge and his time was up yes
terday, and would have been taken to
the penitentiary had not Lovelady con-
fessed 70 the crime. The history OF the
case is one filled with peculiar situations

DELANEY CALLED DOWN
Cushing Man Oorreets Him in Major
CrOzier Interview


The Gushing Herald takes issue with
Colonel L. r. Delaney with reference TO
the citizenship Of the late Major Crozier
as follows:
with all due respect to 7. r. Delaney
Of Wichita, who in the published in
terview in the Wichita Eagle states that
the late Major Crozier was a natural
lied American citizen, we assert to our
personal knowledge Major Crozier was
not a naturalized American citizen. and
that he never did take out his first
naturalization papers. Major Crozier
was loyal to his country and queen I'M
til the last and had he taken the first
step towards naturalization he would
have taken an active part in the Span
ish-American war. One instance of the
majors life which impressed US with his
loyalty to his country. was when his
old corps of the Northwest Mounted Pc
lice were detailed for service in South
Africa. The major read the accounts of
their brilliant achievements and the
words of praise which followed them
with a mingled feeling Of pride and
yearning to share in their glory, which
always resulted in his being depressed
in spirits for several days afterwards.
Another instance of the majors loyalty
to his country Is that at the time when
Canada was organizing her troops for
the South African war he actually
wrote to Sir wilfred Laurler. prime
minister of Canada and offered himself
to his government for service in South
Africa in any capacity. We cite these
instances simply TO show that the major
was loyal TO his country until the last,
and we know whereof we speak"

beaten at the polls. This year when the
time came for the calling of the conven-
ton. the members Of the central COM
mittee decided that the basis Of represen-
tation should be one delegate for every
fifteen votes cast at the last city cleo
ton for John w. Caspers. This basis Of
representation produced this situation.
The Second ward, which polls probably
the largest vote of any ward in the city,
only has four delegates. two delegates
from each Of the two precincts The Fifth
ward, in which a greater portion of the
colored citizens of Guthrie reside, win
have thirteen delegates, more delegates
than any other ward in the city. The
First ward has six delegates and this
ward is supposed to be equally divided
as regards to the negro and white vote.
In the Third ana Fourth wards the dele
cation will probably be divided. This
practically means that there viii he a
fight in the convention which occurs
Thursday, and the Fifth ward has a
strong pun with the rest Of the wards.
The colored people state that they viii
not nominate citizens Of their race for
the Office, but that they expect to have
some say in the convention who win be
nominated for the various positions
While the situation is rather complicated
owing to the basis Of representation,
the chances are that the fight this year
win make it possible for different ar
rangement regarding the basis of repre-
sentatlon at the next meeting to pla nfor
the city election two years from this
time.

Guthrie. O. T.. March A. CBy long
Distance Telephone. Governor Barnes
is SIN silent regarding his action on the
psBic buildings bin. At 1 o'clock this
morning he was going through the cor
respondence relative to the measure and
win announce his decision some time
later. Ii is remarka5Ie the amount Of
correspondence regarding the bin Gov
-eFnor Barnes has received. Protests
from an over the territory have been
coming in and It is not alone confined to
Oklahoma but the Indian Territory peo-
pie have taken a part in the matter.
No one has any iutimation regarding
Governor Barnes action and the mound
builders are on the anxious scat. They
stin have hopes. however. but It was
noticeable that the Enid delegation did
not rejoice last night, over prospects for
the governors signature TO the measure.
whatever action Governor Barnes takes
he VIII give his reasons for doing so.
Much anxiety IS felt among politicians
and others in Guthrie and the intense
feeling VIII not be aIayed until an ulti-
mate decision IS made. All day Yesterday
visitors were crowding into the COVER
nors Office. and his work has been re-
tarde dto some extent by this cause. This
is the last day of the hve-day limit.

were an enthusiastic over the matter
and wore badges which promptly desig-
mated them as Mound Builders" After
marching around the streets for a short
time the delegation visited Governor
Barnes In the executive office. The men
promptly stated what they were here for
and asked that the public buildings bin
be- signed Charley Hunter was the
spokesman Of the delegation and he
placed the matter before the governor.
Governor Barnes listened intendy to the
appeal Of the Enid delegation and re-
piled chat lt was a very serious matter
for him to decide ana that it would be
impossible for him to announce his de-
cision al this time. He stated that lie
would consider the request Of the Enid

GEARY ON A BOOM
Enjoying That STEADY Growth That
Menus Something.

Geary. 0. T., March 13-About six
months ago the census of Geary were
taken with view to Incorporating the
town. At that time we could count all
told about $50 people. Last week the
count was taken again and according to
same we now have a population of s75
bonafde residents. This shows a gain
Of almost 100 per cent in six months.
There has been no boom but just a
steady growth brought about by a good
country being filed UP by enterprising
people. At this rate of growth. and we
see nothing to stop it. Geary will have
a population of 1000 within the next
year. We have the country tributary
to maintain city of that size. With
out doubt Geary is the best town in
Oklahoma west of the Rock Island rail-
road and always win be.

Catarrh of bladder or Chronic cystitis.

Catarrh of Bladder or Chronic Cystitis.
Mr.. Charles Lindsay, of South Wayne,
Wis, who is IS years Of age, writes Dr..
Hartman as follows:
81 have been troubled for fifteen years
with catarrh of the digestive organs and
the bladder. Have tried all medicines
recommended for my trouble bat could
not find anything that would relieve me
of my terrible suffering until I was
advised to take Peruna. I have taken
six bottles of Peruna and thanks TO DIR.
Hartman, of Columbus, Ohio, am now
soundly cured Of all my suffering.
81 highly recommend Peruna 70 all
and every one suffering with catarrh ia
any form. "-Charles Lindsay.
CyshtIs is One Form cf Chronic Cstarrh.
Cystitis is catarrh Of the bladder. It
would be difficult to describe the dis
tressing and annoying symptoms which
this disease occasions. We shall not
attempt to do so for many reasons.
People who have had any experience
with this disease, know without any
words Of ours, the agony which it brings.
Catarrh Of the bladder is not only a
distressing disease, but very difficult g
cure. If the function Of tho bladder
could be suspended for a few days, &C.
would be much easier 70 treat Il, but 20
undertake TO treat an infamed organ
and yet give IL no rest from its regular
function is quite difficult.
PeTuna has proven itself, after many
years experience, 3 remarkable remedy
for these cases.
The two cases given are only two Of
hundreds we could cite. After doctors
have failed, Peruna cures. After months
Of suffering and illness, Peruna restores.
Tt sometimes happens that after years Of
chronic catarrh Of the bladder has been
endured a course Of peruna permanently
cures.
Any one 80 afflicted should not fau t.

and Are Sanght

Perry, o. T., March B.-The clothing
firm of Ben Cole s. Co, of this city was
night before last robbed of 5000 worth
of clothing. The burglars made their
entrance through the rear door by cut
ting through the panel and sliding the
bolt. Yesterday Marshal Taylor went to
Purcell with Mr.. Cole and there identi-
fed the goods. which were found in a
box car and in possession Of a colored
man who gave the name of W. NJ Will
Jams. Mr.. Cole secured the goods and
returned with Williams to Perry yester-
day and the preliminary hearing viii be
had tomorrow. Other parties connected
with the affair have not yet been ar
rested and it is likely that they have
fled the country. Williams is a bright
fellow about % years of age and is
thoroughly familiar with court proceed
