hood and the defeat Of the Republican
party win be the war cry of the new
Jenersonian Democratic club which was
organized at Oklahoma city yesterday
afternoon and last night. The members
Of this club are determined to redeem
the Democracy Of the territory and have
adopted the method Of eastern politicians.
that of a Incorporated club. Stalwart
Democrats from al over the territory
gathered in Oklahoma yesterday to make
medicine. 1t was not the meetings OF
old, to plan fer fusion, but rather to place
the Democratic party in such q position
in oklahoma that the Populist party
would necessarily have TO go to the Dem
ocratc party in order to secure any rec
ognition, ard still the combination would
travel under the name Of Democracy.
These Democrats are extremely anx-
ious that the Creeks and Chickashaws
should come into the territory and part
Of their attention win be devoted to max
ing demands for the opening Of these
lands and adding them to the territory. Of

could inspire more bitter remarks than
that Of Dennis Flynn. The Democrats
Win make a special fight on Flynn. 50
strong was this feeling that it was open
ly discussed in the meeting, that any
member Of the club that was found gull

would be sufficient cause Tor dismissal
from the club. This feeling even went so
far as 10 cause Q talk that Roy Hof-
Ran was not eligible to help organize the

have ever had in the territory and their
main idea is to get Flynn out of the way.
A determined effort viii be made on
the part Of the Democrats Of Guthrie TO

Jefferson Club in that city. This IS ow-

The chances are that f. J. Giddings. a
young attorney here. VIII be made sec

one. but its size may depend a little on
the ability OF the secretary as a collector.

Roy hoffman, Of Chandler, was among
