DAY A SINISTER ONE.

To-day is a sinister one in the
history of the Obrenovitch house,
being the thirty-6fth anniversary
Of the assassination of King Alex
ander's grand-uncle, Michael, who
was done to death by agents OF
Alexander Karageorgevitch, then
leading member Of the house which
has long disputed the throne OF
Servia against the Obrenovitch
family, and whose head, Price
Peter Karageorgevltch, has been
proclaimed King.

dered, but used as necessity
may demand for the best in-
terests of the people and the
government.
8. We favor the sale of all
our public buildings, to take
place and transferable when our
tribal government shall be ex-
tinguished, and the conversion
Of all our assets, not herein
otherwise provided for, into
cash.
5. Unwilling to exclude any
person rightfully entitled to
share in the division of our
lands and moneys, and believ-
ing that all children born to
recognized and enrolled parents
before a final division is made,
are entitled to participate there
in, we favor such additional
legislation as will provide for
the equal participation of all
children born to such parents
before final settlement is made.
5. After the allotment Of all

6. We eonstrue the agree

mean that all Of the lands Of
the Cherokee Nation, except
those reserved from allotment
by section twenty-four (24) Of
said agreement, shall be equal

coming campaign, we pledge

upon that construction, or such
additional legislation, If any be
necessary, to the end thas all
our lands not reserved from al

not sold by the government.

s. The Downing Party de-
plores the reference of the
rights Of the adopted white cit
liens by the Secretary of the
Interior to the Court Of Claims,
and reiterates and re-afiirms
section "A of the Party Platform
of 1895, as follows
1.-THE Downing Party renews
its fidelity to all citizens of the
Cherokee Nation, both by
blood and adoption, and reeog-
nizes that one great object of
the Cherokee Nation must be
ever to keep peace and friend
ship among her own citizens,
and TO keep alive in every citi-
zen the true fire Of patriotism,
the genuine love Of country, as
our government must be main
tanned by the united efforts Of
the entire people. The party
therefore guarantees equal civil
political and property rights to
all citizens rs pledged to them
under the Constitution and laws
of the Cheroke Nation and treaty
stipulations. The body polite
of the Cherokee Nation consists
of its citizens, towit Cherokees
by blood, adopted whites, Shaw
nees, Delawares and Freedmen,
and must be one people, with a
mutual interest. The party rec
ognizes the fact that the destiny
of our country rests in the hands
of this entire people, and its
great purpose will be to make
every citizen feel and know that
this is his home that here his
life liberty and property will be
protected. "
And we construe the agree
ment ratified by the Cherokee
people August 9TH 1902 as
guaranteeing equal property
rights to all our citizens, and we
point with pride to the fact that.
every agreement entered into
since 1895 under Downing adj
ministrations has contained sim
liar provisions, guaranteeing
equal property rights to all Of.
our citizens.
9. We take pleasure in com
mending Hon. W. G. Rogers of
Cooweescoowee District and
Hon. D. NJ. Faulkner, Of Sc
quoyah District, the nominees
Of the Downing Party. for the
Offices of Principal and assistant
Chiefs respectfully, TO the favor.

Of our citizens regardless Of col
or, or whether they be citizens
by blood or adoption and with
out reference to either their
past party affiliations or their
beliefin the National politics
ofthe United States, but we ex-
tend a most hearty and cordial
invitation TO all legal voters Of
the Cherokee Nation who favor
progress, an honest, economical
administration aud a speedy
final settlement, to unite in the
selection OF these men with
