9. l.. Byrnc, President of the
Chickasaw Lumber company. MY
view of Yesterdays election is that
it was not 50 much triumph Of
Democrats over Republicans as it was
a victory of the whites over the
blacks. All the travelling men with.
out regard to party supported the
Democratic ticket and many others
who We're afraid to risk Republicans
in the enactment of separate coach
and school laws also voted with the
Democrats"
s. T. Rlcdsoe, Attorney at Law,
said:
The result of the Constitutional.
Delegate election in the Indian Terri
tory establishes in my mind
First That a decided majority
the voters of the new State Of Okla
homa are Democrats from principle
and voted with the Democratic part,
because they thought ii could be
much more safely trusted to write
a proper constitution than the trust
and corporation ridden Republican
party.
Second It further evidences the
fact that the Indian was able to de.
termine that the Democratic party
was his real friend. ana that the
Hitchcock dominated Republican part,
could never be his friend"
Third. II means that whites, and
Indians alike resent the charge of the
Republican party, as evidenced by the
actions Of the cabinet officers that the
Indians are too ignorant to take care
Of themselves, aud that the whites
in the Indian Territory are too dis.
honest to be permitted TO do business
with the Indians.
In addition to the above it means
that the intelligent voters of the In.
dian Territory will not submit TO ne. |
gro domination, nor TO the domina. !
ton OF any political party that is |
dominated by the negro.
Locally it means that the intelli |
gent citizenship of Ardmore has re.
pudiated the party that declared in |
its platform for separate coaches and |
separate schools, and yet daily in |
their political meetings practiced alb
somtely the reverse of what they
proclaim in their platform.
1T means that the negro question
has been settled and settled right.
and that every self respecting Re.
publican, as well as every Democrat,
ought to congratulate himself upon
the accomplishment of this fact. It
means that the constitution OF the
new state of Oklahoma will provide
for the control of corporations and
